Larry King's Ex-Wife Survives Horrific Crash
Larry King's 6th ex-wife -- Julia Alexander King -- is lucky to be alive after a devastating head-on collision on the 4th of July ... a collision that was so bad, rescuers needed the Jaws of Life to remove one of the passengers.
TMZ has learned Julia was driving home from an event in New Jersey when, according to the police report, witnesses say she was "all over the road" and eventually "swerved across the centerline."
King -- who was driving alone -- smashed head-on into a car containing a family of four driving home from a fireworks display.
According to the police report, "All occupants of both vehicles sustained injuries" ... and we're told several members of the family were in very serious condition.
We're told the man in the passenger seat was trapped in the vehicle and rescuers needed the Jaws of Life to remove him. That man is currently in a wheelchair with unspecified injuries.
Law enforcement sources tell us no arrests were made on the day of the crash -- but investigators are currently looking into the incident.
Julia Alexander King had no comment on this story.

Tila Pulled Over in Lambo -- Heckled Relentlessly
A few hilarious hooligans made Tila Tequila's life a living hell Thursday morning -- when they recorded her run-in with police in Santa Barbara ... while running their loud mouths throughout the entire ordeal.
It all went down at around 1:50 AM in Santa Barbara -- where Tila was pulled over while driving a brand new, bright blue, $250,000 Lamborghini.
Unlucky for Tila, some bigmouthed bystanders recorded themselves as they shouted back and forth with the starlet -- heckling her about everything from crappy driving ... to Shawne Merriman ... and much, much more.
Make sure you watch the clip 'til the end -- because when the cops let her go ... she BLOWS through a RED LIGHT!
In the end, Santa Barbara police tell us Tila received one ticket for going the wrong way down a one-way street ... and another ticket because her passenger was not wearing a seatbelt.

Ice-T 'Outraged' Over Arrest ... Wants to Sue DMV
Ice-T is adamant that he will have his "revenge" for his arrest in NYC a few weeks ago, but he's not looking to get back at the cop -- he wants to take out his anger on the DMV ... with a big, fat lawsuit.
As TMZ first reported, Ice was busted on July 20 -- and dude tells us it was all because the cop found "something in the computer called an insurance lapse from 2008."
Ice claims the cop could have just issued a ticket and send him on his way -- but instead, the officer chose to arrest him simply, "Because he could."
Last night, Ice told us the whole thing is pure BS -- and that the computer reading was the result of an error made by either the DMV or his insurance company.
So what's Ice's next move?? Dude tells us, "At the end of the day, after I get this dismissed … I either can sue the DMV or the insurance company … and that’s when I have my revenge."

Seth MacFarlane Rollin' Like Marty McFly
Seth MacFarlane is one Flux Capacitor away from being able to travel back in time -- because TMZ has learned he's the proud new owner of an exact replica of the DeLorean from "Back to the Future."
Seth's people confirm the "Family Guy" mastermind purchased the DeLorean earlier this month. A source tells us Seth is having about $20,000 worth of customized equipment installed ... making it the coolest thing on wheels since the motorized bar stool.
One source -- who was lucky enough to sneak a peak at MacFarlane's unfinished DeLorean -- said the car already looks "insane."
Note to self: Don't bet against MacFarlane on any sporting events from now on.

TMZ spoke with Chris Spradley -- one of the culinary competitors on Ramsay's upcoming show "MasterChef" -- who tells us dude was driving home from the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip last week when some dumbass in a minivan blew a stop sign ... and the two vehicles collided.
Spradley -- creator of a beer cheese soup that Chef Ramsay considers "the most disgusting f**king soup I've ever tasted in my life" -- suffered injuries to his ribs and ankle ... but nothing life threatening.
Law enforcement sources tell us the four passengers in the other vehicle were all intoxicated -- and they claim the driver of the van fled the scene. So far, no arrests have been made.

Ashton Kutcher -- Banged Up in Malibu
Ashton Kutcher's super-awesome $108,000 Lexus Hybrid had to be towed out of Malibu yesterday -- after the actor smashed into another, less-awesome car in the middle of the day.
It appears Ashton's car took some minor damage to the front bumper of his Lexus LS600 -- but the other car was smashed up pretty good.
It doesn't appear anyone was badly injured in the fender bender -- and afterward, of course, Ashton went to his Twitter .... writing, "Got in a fender bender today. Bad carma [sic] I guess."

George Michael Declared Unfit
Maybe he just had a Kodak moment, but police yanked George Michael from his buggy and arrested him on Sunday after he crashed into a 1-hour photo shop in London.
Metro police believe he was unfit to drive, though they did not say if he was driving under the influence.
And it's not the first run-in between Michael and an inanimate object. Last year he was detained by cops after his old banger hit a tractor-trailer. And in 2007, his license was suspended after Michael pled guilty to driving on drugs.
On the bright side, looks like 1-hour photo will stay open 24/7.

Cops Demand Papers From Mischa Barton
Mischa Barton got a taste of what it's like when a cop comes up to you and demands to see your papers.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Barton was pulled over at around 2 AM last Saturday morning in West Hollywood -- where she was ticketed for not having current registration on her Cadillac.
The car -- like Mischa -- looks good on the outside but is nothing but trouble inside. Oh, we kid ... but not about the Caddy. She's had it pushed, towed, prodded ... it has sadly become Mischa's life's work.

Pauly D must be saving the $10K he gets an episode on "Jersey Shore"... because the fist pumpin' dude is in the market for a $200,000 Lamborghini.
TMZ has learned the tanorexic DJ checked out a souped-up Chopper Edition Lambo at Towbin Automotive in Vegas the other day -- the same dealership featured in the A&E show "King of Cars" -- and while he didn't drive anything off the lot, we're told it's "very likely" he'll buy the car.
Towbin's owner, Chop -- the guy who sold Khloe Kardashian a Rolls-Royce for Lamar Odom -- tells us Pauly liked the hard top Lamborghini but really wants a convertible to make room for his trademark blowout.

Jay-Z's Private Jet -- So Worth Getting Sued Over
Jay-Z may or may not have paid the $137,000 bill for his private jet -- but one thing's for sure, this plane is by far the most baller piece of aviation equipment we've ever seen.
TMZ broke the story ... the company behind the jet -- Air Platinum Holding -- is suing Jigga, claiming the rapper spent 55 hours big pimpin' on this plane in 2009, but only paid for 37 hours. According to the company, he still owes $137,485.00 for flying in style.
But this is nothing new to the rap mogul -- the man spends in the thousands just for lunch.

Charlie Sheen Not The Only Car Theft Victim
TMZ has learned ... Charlie Sheen's car was not the only vehicle stolen early Tuesday and taken to Mulholland Drive.
We've learned another car was stolen from The Summit -- a nearby gated community where Britney Spears used to live.
We're told the vehicle from The Summit was not pushed over the cliff, but it was left at a lookout point near where Charlie's car was dumped.
Remember, 4 months ago, when Charlie's first car was stolen and dumped over Mulholland, other cars were vandalized and a Bentley was pushed over a nearby cliff.
We're told so far cops don't know if the two thefts are connected.
So much for gated communities ...

Charlie Sheen Car Theft -- Inside Job?
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Charlie Sheen has given LAPD detectives information that raises the possibility that someone had been casing the joint when his second car in 4 months was stolen and dumped over a cliff.
As TMZ first reported -- when the first incident occurred in February -- Charlie had left his car in his driveway with the keys in the ignition. Thieves made off with the car and rolled it off a cliff on Mulholland Drive.
We're told Charlie made a habit of taking the keys out of the ignition since the February incident ... with only 2 exceptions -- the last being Monday at around 4 PM.
Sources say there's a feeling someone might have been casing Charlie's house, waiting for another opportunity to strike. Since it's a gated community, one of the avenues being explored is that a worker on the grounds could be involved.
And law enforcement sources say ... Charlie has told cops he can't think of anyone he knows who had a grudge that would manifest itself this way.
