Ride Me

6:45 PM PT -- Maino tells us he already entered a guilty plea and paid a fine. He also claims he's gotten his license back since the arrest.

One thing hasn't changed -- he has NOT put a front license plate on his Bentley Continental, because Maino says he's not drilling any holes in his whip.

Maino -- the rapper behind the 2009 hit "All The Above" -- was arrested in NYC recently after cops say he was cruising around in a pimped out Bentley he had no business driving in the first place, TMZ has learned.

We've confirmed ... Maino -- real name Jermaine Coleman -- was initially pulled over around 10:54 PM on September 25 after cops say he was driving his 2008 Bentley around without a front license plate.

During the stop, cops discovered that Maino's license had been suspended for a previous incident -- and he shouldn't have been driving ANY vehicle ... let alone one without a license plate.

Maino was eventually taken into custody for driving on a suspended license. He was booked and released ... and he's due back in court in November.

It ain't Maino's first brush with the law -- the guy was popped for driving on a suspended license once before in 2010.

Justin Bieber is done driving like an a-hole inside his Calabasas community ... so says neighbor and NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson -- but Biebs 'aint off just yet.

Dickerson was cruising the 'Bas with his family ... and seemed relatively happy with Justin for making a change.

As you may recall, Bieber's fast driving earlier this year pissed off a ton of neighbors -- including Keyshawn Johnson who famously confronted him about it ... and Dickerson told us afterward he understood why.

The football legend doesn't give Justin a full pass though ... check out the video, you'll understand.

Michael Jackson's family is suffering its second crushing blow this month -- Conrad Murray is about to be a free man ... and Jermaine Jackson says it's almost too much for them to handle.

Jermaine downplayed his mother, Katherine Jackson's recent loss to AEG in the wrongful death trial, telling us ... "It's not about the money. This guy is walking this month. He's walking free this month!"

Murray is scheduled to be released from jail on October 28, completing his sentence for the involuntary manslaughter of MJ. Murray actually got 4-years, but that was reduced to 2, due to jail overcrowding.

Watch the clip ... Jermaine unloads on our camera guy about what he views as Murray's way-too-brief time behind bars -- adding his family is still hurting.

Bonus footage: Jermaine's take on his mom being pissed he blew $160,000 on a new Ferrari ... while he's behind on child support. Trust us, Jermaine ... Mama's not happy.

Some guys give their wives diamonds when they give birth ... but Indianapolis Colts player Antoine Bethea just set the bar even higher ... lavishing his fiancee with a super tricked-out BMW.

Antoine tells TMZ ... he bought the 2013 BMW X6 to celebrate the birth of their daughter (that's called a push present, guys) and his fiancee's birthday ... then had the whip completely rebuilt.

Sources close to the customizing shop say the car has about $30K worth of modifications, including:

-body lowered 3 inches
-custom grill
-smoked head and tail lights
-customized bumpers
-powder coated black rims

And the sickest part of all ... lighted projectors in the doors that project the BMW logo onto the ground when the doors are open.

BMW. The ultimate birthing machine.

It's bad enough that he can't play, but injured Dodgers star Matt Kemp isn't traveling with the team either -- and TMZ has video of the All Star gimping his way through LAX today on a scooter.

With the rest of the squad already in St. Louis for the NLCS, Kemp -- nursing two injuries -- wheeled through the airport Thursday afternoon on a medical scooter designed to help him keep the weight off his busted right ankle.

Kemp seemed pretty bummed out about the situation -- and for good reason -- telling us that having to ride around on the scooter, while the rest of the guys are prepping for the Cards, straight up blows.

But don't feel too bad for Matt -- he still raked in roughly $20 million this season ... so it's not a total loss.

Bruce Jenner told people at an event over the weekend, "I'm finally free to do what I want and live life the way I want."

Bruce and his sons were at Virginia International Raceway -- Bruce was racing a Lamborghini during the events. Bruce was hanging at the Lamborghini tent with a bunch of girls.

Bruce made it clear to several people in the tent ... his life is now different from the way it had been for years. He said he was getting closer to his sons -- something he hadn't done when they were growing up, which caused a major problem in their relationship.

Bruce did not reveal he was separated from Kris, but the people present said it was shocking how open he was about how different his life was now, and how open he was in "flirting" with the girls.

How do you know you're shopping for pumpkins in Beverly Hills?? When the pumpkin patch offers VALET PARKING ... just ask Halle Berry's husband.

With Halloween right around the corner (that came quick, didn't it?) Olivier Martinez took 5-year-old Nahla hunting for jack-o-lanterns yesterday at the fancy Mr. Bones' Pumpkin Patch in the B.H.

As for Halle, she didn't make the trek -- probably because she's still taking it easy after giving birth to her son Maceo on Saturday.

But Olivier didn't have to clumsily lug Nahla's pumpkin all the way back to the car like most people do -- they just had to wait in the valet line for someone to pull their car around for them.

Gotta love L.A. ...

The very day Jermaine Jackson became the owner of a $160,000, 2009 Ferrari California ... he had his wages garnished because he was behind on his child support ... TMZ has learned.

According to official documents ... Jermaine's baby mama, Alejandra Jackson, obtained an order which allowed the government to withhold $3,750 from his wages.

Alejandra -- who has had recurring problems getting child support from Jermaine -- got the order after he fell behind. The breakdown of the $3,750 -- $3,000 for monthly support, and $750 for past due.

The garnishment order allows the government to garnish future wages as well to cover the $3,000 a month.

As we first reported ... Katherine Jackson is pissed off at Jermaine for dropping $70k in cash (he traded in his Rolls-Royce for $90k) when he couldn't pay his bills.

Not everyone's impressed with Bruce Jenner's race car driving skills ... especially not Afrojack, who tells TMZ Jenner's a "p**sy" behind the wheel ... 'cause he ONLY did 160mph this weekend.

FYI -- Afrojack is a hardcore speed-aholic ... and while standing next to his new Ferrari in L.A. last night (he crashed his old one), the 26-year-old platinum-selling DJ scoffed at Jenner's achievement and told us he's gone wayyyyy faster in his own cars.

"I did 216 in my RS6 [Audi] and I did 210 in my Aventador [Lambo] ... so Bruce Jenner can kiss my dust."

Two things:

1) LOOOOOVE this guy.

2) Sounds like a challenge to us.

Bruce Jenner got behind the wheel of a $300K Lamborghini this weekend -- and burned rubber during a real life race on a Virginia track ... and while he didn't win, he didn't lose either!

Bruce and his son Brandon teamed up as tag-team drivers for the Lamborghini Super Trofeo at the Virginia International Raceway, taking on 13 other cars at breakneck speeds.

The Jenners competed in two races -- one on Friday, one on Saturday -- and finished with a respectable 10th and 7th place ... not bad, considering they're not exactly seasoned pros.

We're told the Jenners have become obsessed with the sport -- and plan to get back on the track later this month for another race at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana.

A wise man once said, "If you ain't first, you're last." Then again, that wise man also got into a car with a live cougar ... so take his advice with a grain of salt.

Katherine Jackson feels like SHE'S been taken for a ride ... by her debt-plagued son Jermaine, who plunked down a huge amount of cash on a Ferrari ... sources close to the Jacksons tell TMZ.

As we reported ... Jermaine spent more than $160,000 on a Ferrari smack in the middle of jury deliberations in the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial -- perhaps banking on the fact that his mom would come into a boatload of cash.

We're told Katherine is livid because she has recently bailed him out of debt. We're told Jermaine's baby mama Alejandra came to him for rent but he didn't have the cash, so Katherine anted up. She feels it's totally irresponsible of Jermaine to spend $70,000 for the car (he got around $90k for the Rolls he traded in) when he can't pay his bills or his child support.

What's more ... we're told Katherine is griping that she was talked into filing the wrongful death lawsuit by Jermaine and Randy, and she's experiencing a pretty severe case of buyer's remorse.

Jermaine Jackson may have put the cart before the Ferrari this week ... he bought this wildly expensive whip while the MJ jury was deciding whether to give his family as much as $40 billion.

Jermaine went to Calabasas Luxury Motorcars Monday to pick up the 2009 Ferrari California, which was listed at $169,995. Sources connected to Jermaine tell us he was able to wheel-and-deal the dealer down to the low 160s.

Jermaine didn't have to plunk down the entire amount. He traded in his Rolls Royce and got around $90k. We're told he paid the balance -- just over $70k.

As we reported ... if Katherine would have won her lawsuit against AEG, Jermaine and her other kids would likely have been the beneficiaries of the judgment once she died. But it was not meant to be.

Shaquille O'Neil got one of those dreaded parking boots on his truck -- and all he had to do to get it removed for free was choke out the dude who did the the booting ... TMZ has learned.

Ok, Shaq was playfully strangling Spence Beck of ABS Booting in the video he posted on Instagram Tuesday night -- but it was all the boot man's idea.

Spence tells us a few hours after he slapped the device on Shaq's ride outside an Atlanta restaurant (someone forgot to feed the meter) ... he got a call, and instantly recognized the Diesel's voice.

According to Spence, Shaq played his cop card, saying ... “I’m a U.S. Marshal, I need you to remove this boot."

If you didn't know ... Shaq really was deputized back in 2005 when he helped feds track down sexual predators -- and that was good enough for Spence.

Spence says he told Shaq he'd waive the $75 fine in exchange for a co-starring role in one of Shaq's Instagram vids.

Don't screw with supermodel Miranda Kerr's schedule ... cuz if you do, she'll tear you apart in public -- like she did today when she ripped her "stupid driver" after he took her to the WRONG fashion show in Paris.

Miranda -- who's in the French capital for Fashion Week -- was already late when she arrived by car at the Louis Vuitton show ... then discovered -- to her horror --- that she was supposed to be at a completely different place ... the Vionnet show.

With no time to lose -- and her rep clearing a path on the sidewalks ... Miranda raced to the Vionnet show -- not easy to do in high-heeled, thigh-high boots.

Watch ... she's clearly not happy about her fashion faux pas ... and blames it on her "stupid driver."

George Zimmerman needs to keep a low profile -- behind super dark tinted windows -- because he's getting death threats ... at least that's what Zimmerman told Florida cops.

Zimmerman was pulled over last month by a Florida Highway Patrol officer who told him the tint on his truck was too dark, and his license plate was not displayed properly.

Zimmerman told the cop he needed the extra cover because he's been getting death threats. He was not more specific about the nature of the threats.

Instead of getting slapped with a ticket for the violation, Zimmerman caught a break ... again.

Detroit Lions' wide receiver Nate Burleson didn't just break his arm when he crashed -- while reaching for a pizza box -- based on this pic TMZ obtained ... his sweet SUV is dunzo.

Burleson's 2009 GMC Yukon -- or what's left of it -- was hauled by flatbed to a GMC dealership Wednesday in suburban Detroit.

As we told you ... Burleson told police he swerved into a median when he tried to save a pizza from sliding off the front seat.

The SUV is clearly out for the season, but the good news for Detroit is ... its owner is expected to be back on the field before the end of the season.

Next time? Delivery, Nate ... delivery.
