Axed 'Basketball Wives' Star Bentley Facing Repo Hammer
Salt on the wound for fired "Basketball Wives" star Jennifer Williams -- TMZ has learned her expensive Bentley is on the verge of being repossessed ... by force of law.
The Toyota Motor Credit Corporation in Syosset, NY just filed a lawsuit against Williams, claiming she stopped making payments on her used 2006 white Bentley back in 2009 -- and it wants the car back.
According to the lawsuit, TMCC has made several attempts to peacefully repossess the vehicle ... but was unsuccessful. Now, it wants a court to FORCE Williams to give back the car.
TMCC is also demanding Williams pay the entire outstanding balance on the car -- $92,310.
A rep for Williams tells TMZ, "Jennifer hasn't been served documents in reference to this lawsuit. Anything related to community property acquired during the marriage, such as the car, is an issue that is currently being addressed in her divorce proceedings."
TMZ broke the story ... Williams filed for divorce from her husband Eric in July 2011.

'Grimm' Stars Commit Cardinal Sin in Naked Bike Ride
Fun Fact -- 2 studs from the show "Grimm" did a naked bike ride this weekend!
Not Fun Fact -- THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY GET NAKED!!!
It all went down in Portland, OR on Saturday night ... when David Giuntoli and Sasha Roiz joined roughly 10,000 riders for the World Naked Bike Ride ... a jiggly protest against the oil consuming "car culture."
But when it came to dropping trou, David and Sasha totally wussed out -- instead of going bare-ass with their fellow bikers, the two actors only ditched their tops. Laaaaaaaame.
After the race, Giuntoli went to Twitter, where he blamed his prudish ways on "the trapping of celebrity" -- explaining, "We wore pants and shorts respectively. #keptourjobs"
So, the lesson here ...
D-list women get naked = career booster.
D-list men get naked = career suicide.

Will.i.Am 'Back to the Future' Car IMPOUNDED By Cops
Will.i.Am has temporarily lost his customized "Back to the Future" car -- a tricked out DeLorean -- after cops pulled him over in L.A. this week ... and IMPOUNDED the vehicle ... law enforcement tells TMZ.
According to sources, cops pulled the rapper over Thursday night for having no license plates. When they looked at his documents, we're told cops also discovered a registration problem ... so they kicked Will.I.Am out of the car and impounded the custom vehicle.
Will was cited for the registration SNAFU as well as the no-plate thing -- but we're told he was very cooperative throughout the entire process. Will then had a friend pick him up from the scene.
The DeLorean will be held until Will.I.Am gets his paperwork in order.
Great Scott!

What does the woman who has everything get the man who has everything for his birthday? If you're Kim Kardashian, you buy your boyfriend Kanye West a rare $750,000 Lamborghini. Ball so hard!
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Kim purchased the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 in L.A. for her new BF, who's celebrating his 35th birthday today. But Kanye can't play with it yet because he's in Ireland on the Watch the Throne tour.
So we're told Kim wanted to give him a taste of his gift -- so she took a video of the car to show him ... and we're told she's screening the video in person tonight on the Emerald Isle.
So it's probably safe to say the car won't be Kanye's only present this year.

T-Boz Targeted By Honda We're Taking Your Odyssey
T-Boz might be forced to travel in the passenger side of her best friend's ride ... 'cause Honda is gunning to repossess the singer's car.
TMZ has learned ... Tionne Watkins is being sued by Honda for failing to make payments on her 2005 Honda Odyssey.
In the lawsuit, filed in Georgia, Honda asks the judge for the green light to take the car back. It's unclear how much T-Boz owes in back payments.
It's just the latest in a string of financial woes for the 42-year-old singer -- she filed for bankruptcy back in 2011 ... but failed to complete the required paperwork ... and lost the protection bankruptcy provides.
In other words, there's NOTHING stopping T-Boz's creditors from coming after all of her possessions.
We reached out to T-Boz for comment -- so far, no response.

Sandman adds, "Here's a reality check for ya Kurt ... I am sending a personal invitation to your pretty faced Kurt Cobain look-alike star Jax to come down to San Diego and prove your point."

And he ain't done yet ... Sandman continues, "And tell him to wear those shiny white kicks too. I hope he's a size 11, I could use some new shoes."
Sandman even mentioned Sutter's wife -- actress Katey Sagal -- saying, "I am a big 'Married with Children' fan, can you have Peg send me an autographed picture? I would appreciate it."
