Bruce Jenner Trying to Lay Low in New Ride After Fatal Accident
Bruce Jenner's taking extreme measures to stay out of the spotlight after the fatal car accident -- changing his car and his daily routine.
Bruce was on a coffee run in Malibu Tuesday ... when an independent photog peppered him with questions about the upcoming docuseries following his transition. For some reason, the pap didn't mention the car accident -- not that it mattered ... Bruce wasn't very talkative.
More interestingly, Bruce's new ride -- a Ford Fiesta. Our Jenner sources tell us Bruce decided to downscale (it's just a rental) from his high profile luxury rides, in an attempt to avoid cameras.
We're told he's also having assistants run more errands for him -- morning coffee aside, obviously.
Some things never change.

Bobby did not answer the photog's questions about his daughter's condition. As we reported, her signs improved earlier in the week -- Bobbi Kristina's brain swelling went down and her eyes are showing some movement.

Bobbi Kristina was transferred to Emory Tuesday because the hospital is renowned for treating brain injuries.
Bobby is also dealing with family drama. We're told he and his family are not getting along with Whitney Houston's relatives, and he also has beef with Nick Gordon.

Bobbi Kristina Never Married Nick Gordon ... According to Bobby Brown
Bobbi Kristina was never ever Mrs. Nick Gordon ... at least that's what her father Bobby Brown is claiming.
According to Bobby's attorney ... "Bobbi Kristina is not and has never been married to Nick Gordon." For once, the Houston family agrees with Bobby Brown ... telling TMZ, Gordon and BK never officially wed.
Further, we're told by Houston family sources ... there are no legal documents that would allow Gordon to get any of the Whitney Houston fortune Bobbi Kristina inherited -- if she passes.

In this case, Daddy did know best.
