Ride Me

As TMZ previously reported, Paris' younger bro was given a 2010 Mercedes E550 Coupe by his dad as a reward for getting his license back after his 2008 DUI bust -- and it was delivered Wednesday afternoon.

Within an hour of the car's delivery, Barron was already seen driving it -- with Rick riding shotty.

Best DUI gift EVER.

Hilton got his driver's license back Tuesday ... it was yanked after he pled no contest in 2008 to DUI in Malibu, where he allegedly hit a gas station employee with his car.

The 20-year-old went to the DMV and had to re-take his road test. We're told he was sober and he passed. His reward from pops -- a black 2010 Mercedes E550 Coupe.

It may seem like Barron is spoiled, until you realize ... his 15-year-old brother Conrad gets to drive dad's $200,000 Bentley. It's all relative.

The former Funky Bunch frontman ran inside to get some take-out when his ride started spilling oil -- and had to be towed away for repairs.

This is slick.

The Maroon 5 singer was sitting in his ridiculously awesome ride, when cops pulled over the car for not having plates -- the same thing he was pulled over for back in '08 ... in the exact same car.

For the second time, Levine was let off with just a warning ... and was free to enjoy his beloved Pinkberry dessert.

No, not that one -- Elin has her own ... and neighbors tell TMZ, she brought it to an Orlando body shop on Tuesday to fix up some recent rear bumper damage.

We're told Tiger's primary female is gearing up to trade it in for something she doesn't associate with toppled fire hydrants -- a fully loaded, black on black Cadillac SRX.

Here's to hoping it will finally be something she can actually trust and rely on.

Congressman Aaron Schock lost control of his car after sliding over an ice patch in Illinois yesterday -- and banged into another vehicle on the streets of Peoria.

No one was injured in the accident, which Schock's rep described as "minor."

We're told both parties were able to work things out without the police -- and Schock, who was in route to an official district event, still arrived to the function on time.

Amazingly, his abs arrived early.

We were there right after a bus careened into Ariel Piper's door as she was stepping out of her parked car in West Hollywood -- and though the vehicle's left side was a mangled mess, the wrestler's daughter walked away unscathed.

Piper, who claims the accident wasn't her fault, told us "It didn't hit me, just my door. Doors can be fixed." We're told the drivers exchanged information and no tickets were issued.

It's unclear how the accident happened, but cops say, miraculously, neither Tyrese nor the woman driving the SUV -- a mother of 5 -- were injured in the wreck.

Moments after the collision, Tyrese went straight to his Twitter page and posted, "Mother of five left without 1 scratch and we ended up hangin at the spa for a massage."

The big question -- who drove?

Looks like Maria is more influential than Arnold these days.

It takes Efron two practice crashes in the foam pit before he gathers up enough chutzpah to yank back hard on the handlebars -- but when he finally goes for it, dude is fearless.

According to witnesses at the scene ... Aguilera was riding shotgun in her own Range Rover -- which was being driven by her assistant -- when her SUV rear-ended another vehicle. As you can see in the photos of Aguilera's SUV above, the damage is minor -- we're also told no one complained of injuries.

Aguilera left the scene with her bodyguard shortly after the accident -- her assistant stayed behind with the SUV.

TMZ spoke to an employee at Auto Exchange USA in Lancaster, PA, who told us Jon showed up at the car lot on Friday and wanted to trade his 2005 BMW M3 for a 2008 Subaru STI (pictured above) PLUS around $4,000 in cash.

We're told Jon's car wasn't worth nearly as much as he thought it was -- so he ended up leaving the lot without ever making a trade.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife -- a known scofflaw -- has dodged ticket after ticket on the west side of Los Angeles ... talking on her cell phone while driving, parking in a red zone, parking at an expired meter while buying a muffin and driving without a seat belt.

But on Friday -- in the thick of Brentwood's shopping district -- time ran out for Maria. The meter was empty, and now, thanks to a vigilant parking officer, California's coffers will be a little more plentiful.

But if you think it's lesson learned ... Maria grabbed the ticket, got behind the wheel of her SUV, and rolled through a stop sign.

By pure chance, we rolled up to the scene as dad and daughter were leaving a banged-up Prius -- and while Collins told us he wasn't involved in the crash, his rep confirms his daughter was, telling TMZ Stephen showed up "to check on" her after she called him to ask about insurance.

We're told both drivers are fine.

TMZ has learned NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw was involved in a 3-car accident in New York today around 1:00 PM Eastern Time.

Brokaw was in his car with his wife. A woman in one of the other cars died when she was thrown from her SUV.

Brokaw and his wife, Meredith, are OK.

The Brokaws just released the following statement:

"Tom and Meredith Brokaw, at around 1 p.m. today, were in a three vehicle accident on the Bruckner Expressway. The Brokaws were in the far left lane when they noticed a spool of cable bouncing along the far right lane.

Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable. The driver lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane, forcing a mail truck into the Brokaw lane of traffic. As the mail truck careened into the Brokaw lane, Tom hit the brakes hard and skidded along the median. When the mail truck catapulted the median the Brokaw vehicle slid into it.

Neither Tom nor Meredith were injured but tragically the driver of the SUV was thrown from her vehicle and killed. Tom and Meredith are greatly saddened by this loss of life."

UPDATE: The victim has been identified as a 28-year-old woman, who worked near the scene of the accident. An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.

UPDATE 6:05 PM EST: The FDNY just released more information about the accident, explaining, "the vehicles collided & [the SUV driver] went off the highway & to the ground below ... Another male went to a local hospital in serious condition- private ambulance transported him."

According to witnesses at the scene, LeAnn was backing out of a parking spot at The Commons shopping center today in Calabasas, CA when she collided with a security golf cart.
