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.

Kanye West When I Insinuated Beck Wasn't a Real Artist I Meant ...

Kanye West now says he was not suggesting Beck wasn't a "real artist" when he ranted an ultimatum that "real artists" might boycott the Grammys .. but it sure sounds like that's what he was saying.

Kanye, Kim and North West arrived in NYC Monday and he insisted he was not disrespecting Beck when he jumped on stage after Beyonce lost to the singer for Album of the Year.

But Kanye went on E! after the Grammys and said, "All I know is if the Grammys want real artists to keep coming back they need to stop playing with us," adding Beck should have given his Grammy to Beyonce.

The good news ... Kanye has gone from stone-cold silence to a talking machine.

We've also learned the woman who was killed in the white car was coming to a stop at a red light when Bruce hit her. We're told law enforcement has already determined Bruce was not speeding.

And we're told there was a 4th car involved in the accident. The woman in the white car hit a Prius in front of her before moving into oncoming traffic.

Bobby Brown Somber Walk To Visit Bobbi Kristina

A somber Bobby Brown showed up at Emory University Hospital Wednesday to visit his daughter Bobbi Kristina ... who is still in medical peril after Saturday's near drowning.

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. But doctors say they can't predict the outcome since she was without oxygen for somewhere between 2 and 5 minutes as she lay face down in her bathtub.

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.

The fake marriage revelation flies in the face of several statements Bobbi Kristina and Nick both made on camera back in early 2014.

Shortly after the alleged wedding ... Bobby was visibly shocked when we broke the news to him, and he doubted it was true.

In this case, Daddy did know best.

Justin Bieber I Brake for Kings in Crosswalks

Justin Bieber is done pretending ... it's time everyone knows the truth -- Biebs loves him some Larry King!

Justin went out of his way to bro down with King while cruising through Beverly Hills Friday. The video's pretty funny ... Bieber's chauffeur driven Rolls bangs a U-turn to go back and catch King in a crosswalk.

The 81-year-old looked startled, but eventually recognized his admirer.

You'd think they have nothing in common with 61 years separating them, but then again ... they both slay chicks! LK's been married 8 times. Hell, when he was Justin's age ... he was already done with wife #1.

Game recognize game.

Usher OMG, It's Me ... And I Got Solid Moves

Next time you blow by a street performer, you might want to make sure it's not Usher.

The former "Voice" judge surprised a huge Venice crowd Monday, when he took off his mask to reveal he was the golden boy with the 24-karat moves.

You gotta see it ... Usher shines as the crowd cheers for more ... but fear not ... he doesn't need to panhandle. It was all part of a shoot for MasterCard's Priceless Surprise Campaign.

He better save a few moves for the Grammys ... he's nominated for two.

Solid.

Mama June Couples Therapy Still an Option ... If Sugar Bear Shows Up

Mama June might give Sugar Bear one last chance to work things out -- and she might get PAID to do it ... on a reality TV show.

Sources connected to the now ex-couple tell us they've been contacted by 2 different shows -- one of them being "Marriage Boot Camp" on WE tv -- looking to cast them for an upcoming season.

We broke the story ... June kicked Sugar Bear out of their home last week ... claiming she found out he was two-timing her with several women he'd met online. We're told the marital strife is the real deal -- not created for TV -- but June intends to follow through and meet 'Boot Camp' producers.

She's just not sure Suge will do the same.

As for their relationship right now -- watch the video. June brags about torching a bunch of Sugar Bear's stuff ... if that tells you anything.

Matt Lauer I Never Banged Giada ... The Story is BS

Matt Lauer says he and Giada De Laurentiis never banged ... and reports saying otherwise are flat-out false.

Lauer was heading out of the LAX Saturday when he put the rumors to rest ... telling a photog the reason they've been spotted together in the past was only due to their long-time friendship.

Matt -- who was cool as a cucumber, even in the rain -- was unequivocal about the bogus story. Giada has also said the story was made up.

The "Today" anchor feels bad about what Giada's going through .... her husband has filed for divorce.

Lauer did give us a scare ... it looked like he was getting on the Hertz Shuttle.

Then things got really weird inside ... before the show started huge pics of Bill and Nelson Mandela loomed in the background.

At the end of the performance, a full house erupted and gave Cosby a standing ovation.

It's like you get 2 shows for the price of one.

Olivier Martinez Airport Employee was Papping Him Before Alleged Assault

The employee was treated at the scene and taken to a hospital. We're told he complained of abdominal pain. He's filed a battery report.

We just got video of the incident.

Taylor Swift Nearly Begins 2015 ... ON HER ASS

Taylor Swift nearly suffered a terrible slip and fall in front of hundreds of screaming fans, but she saved it at the last minute to avoid a tremendously embarrassing fall.

Swift had just finished performing in Times Square for "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2015."

As she made her way down the stairs behind the stage, she got to the final few steps when her feet gave out from under her. But she avoided eating it completely and emerged with a sly grin and a short wave.

You might say she was able to shake it off like a pro.

Ex-49er Ray McDonald Out of Work & Under Investigation ... No Problem

If Ray McDonald is pissed off about getting cut from the San Francisco 49ers -- he did a bang up job of hiding it outside his attorney's office.

The defensive lineman let out a massive yawn as he strolled to his car after meeting his lawyer in San Jose Friday -- 2 days after he was named a suspect in an alleged rape investigation ... and subsequently 86'd by the Niners.

Ray's pretty chill -- especially for a guy facing his second criminal investigation in 6 months, and suddenly out of work.

Watch ... Ray's got a friend with him who says new information will be "coming out soon." Unclear if he's talking about Ray's future in the NFL ... or the alleged rape case.
