Ride Me

Move over J.Lo, there's a new Jenny from the block.

TMZ first reported Tyrese got the felony citation for allegedly leaving the scene of an accident in Miami last month, even though we posted pictures of him at the scene with cops.

Today Tyrese's lawyers, Jayne Weintraub and Jon Sale, went to court and the prosecutor officially dropped the case, proving a TMZ picture is worth a thousand words.

You're welcome.

Patrick's green #7 got caught in a pileup coming out of turn four at Daytona International Speedway, and she couldn't avoid the wreckage in front of her.

At least she got her first Daytona wreck out of the way.

Britney and her bodyguard visited the Maserati dealership earlier today in Calabasas, CA -- where she was spotted riding shotgun in the car, which is worth well over $100,000.

Britney is such a driven person.

BTW: Britney is on a $500 a week allowance and can't buy the car without a judge's approval ... and we're pretty sure that's not how the judge rolls.

Charlie lives in a gated community where other residents sometimes leave their garage door open as well.

Our law enforcement sources say when they arrived at Charlie's home he looked fine and told cops he had no idea who heisted his ride.

Charlie Sheen got one hell of a wake up call this morning when an operator from an OnStar-like service called to inform him that his SUV had crashed.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sheen got the call around 4AM when his remote diagnostics company received an alert that the car had been involved in a wreck and the airbags had deployed.

We're told Sheen alerted his security team who inspected the home and confirmed that the car had been stolen.

Cops later found the wrecked SUV 100 feet down Mulholland Drive.

We're told the L.A. Fire Department used an infrared scanner to search for any victims, but the search came up empty.

Cops are still hunting for a suspect.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Sheen reported the truck stolen from his house early this AM. We do not know if Sheen knew the suspect.

Cops tell us the fire department is on scene, looking to see if there's a body near the wreckage.

The suspect is not in custody.

Police are investigating.

It's unclear how the damage to the front passenger side of her new Audi occurred -- but the "High School Musical" star was seen waiting in a West Hollywood supermarket parking lot while a AAA employee helped her get back on the road.

Fortunately, she can probably afford the repair bill.

UPDATE: Vanessa's rep tells TMZ she only suffered a flat tire and was not involved in any sort of collision.

As for how the scratches occurred -- the rep says it's a mystery to him.

For some reason Renee was visiting Bradley Cooper's new house sometime before 9 AM. Bradley hasn't even moved in yet and he was nowhere in sight.

Renee parked her Prius on the street and got out. When she eventually returned to the car at 9, she opened the driver's door to get in, when an elderly woman in a BMW almost took Renee and the door out.

Renee was unscathed but her door got nailed.

Fifteen minutes later Bradley showed up and Renee hitched a ride.

The two reality stars, who have the same white BMW SUV, were given each other's vehicles at the valet at Voyeur nightclub -- but neither woman noticed the screw up until they were miles from the club.

You'd think Pratt (left) would have noticed the baby seat in the back -- oh wait, no you wouldn't.

The two solved the motor mix-up over Twitter and plan on meeting up to trade cars.

TMZ has learned Rampage was driving a new black Audi R8 -- valued at more than $100k -- home from the Audi dealership in Orange County, California on Tuesday when he was hit by a woman driving a very not expensive black car.

We're told Rampage was not injured in the wreck, but the back end of his badass ride suffered some pretty extensive -- and expensive -- damage.

Rampage tells TMZ police arrived on scene and cleared him of all wrongdoing. The UFC fighter added, "I am thankful and happy no one was hurt. I tried to make sure the elderly woman that hit my car was OK ... she didn't speak much English, but I could see she wasn't hurt in any way."

As for his own condition, Rampage said, "I am fine, the little old lady is fine, but my car got hurt, and for that I'm sad."

Lauter was getting into his car outside Chateau Marmont when security intervened and told the guy to take a cab instead ... a suggestion he was none too happy with.

Though Ed kept saying he was "fine" and even dropped coach Larry Brown's name in an attempt to win points with the guard, he eventually relented -- and got a taxi.

Attempts to reach Ed for comment were unsuccessful.

Paul and his GF Nancy Shevell didn't exactly wait around for AAA -- we're told the pair was immediately whisked away by his waiting security team, while one of his assistants set up the jump and drove the car home.

We obtained this shocking photo of Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice's completely demolished vehicle -- taken after cops say he struck a pole early Thursday morning in Montville, NJ.

As we previously reported, Giudice was taken to the hospital after the accident ... where he was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, careless driving, and failure to maintain a traffic lane.

TMZ has learned the "Eight is Enough" star t-boned another car in his BMW (top) in the San Fernando Valley Wednesday afternoon -- but after the run-in, he couldn't find the other driver ... so he took off to the Santa Anita race track.

Turns out the woman in the other car pulled into a nearby gas station and called the police -- who then couldn't locate Van Patten.

Luckily, Dick's son showed up and smoothed things out with the cops, who were thisclose to calling the situation a hit-and-run. Police later interviewed Dick, and decided not to file charges -- allowing the two drivers' insurance companies to take it from there.

Jeff Ballard, Dick's rep, tells TMZ, "The only time Dick Van Patten runs is down the stretch at the race track when his horses are winning."

FYI -- On Wednesday, Van Patten's horse lost.

The Montville Township Police Department tells TMZ they responded to an emergency call made at 1:47 AM after a car struck a pole in Montville -- and when they arrived, Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice was at the scene.

We're told Joe was taken to the Morristown Memorial Hospital -- and after a blood sample was taken, Joe was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, careless driving, and failure to maintain a traffic lane.

Joe's problems didn't stop there. Cops say there were warrants out for his arrest in Clifton, NJ over some city ordinance violations -- so the MTPD handed Joe over to the Clifton PD, who locked him up and held him on $2,625 bail. He was released at 6:20 AM.
