Ride Me

Aubrey O'Day had a rough Cinco de Mayo -- not only did her BMW get smacked up in a hit-and-run, but she got threatened by the alleged culprit.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... O'Day was a passenger in her own car on May 5 (fellow Danity Kaner Shannon Bex was driving) when a giant SUV hit her whip as it sat at a red light.

We're told the black Buick Enclave rode halfway up her hood before the driver gunned it and beat a hasty retreat. We're told the impact was bad enough to cause $10K in damages.

O'Day and Bex went to a hair salon the next day and spotted the phantom Enclave. They took a few pics of the car for evidence, when the driver came out and confronted them.

We're told the Enclave driver allegedly went inside the salon, brandishing a heavy metal object and then asked the women, "Do we have a problem here, 'cause we can take care of it now."

Just days before throwing down at Dr. Dre's billionaire party -- Tyrese literally drove HOURS to Vegas with his pal The Game ... inside the world's first tricked-out $350,000 "Rolls Royce" van ... just to pick up a couple slices at the Bellagio.

Tyrese tells TMZ, he picked Game up Wednesday in L.A. and made the day trip in his brand new customized ride -- what he's calling the world's first ever "Rolls Royce Ghost Sprinter" van.

The whip's stacked too -- complete with several Apple TVs, a PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Mac Mini, custom Rolls rims and grill, crazy neon "Transformers" lights, a phone charger at each seat, Internet, and even a heated floor.

Tyrese says as soon as they grubbed down at Bellagio they immediately hightailed it back to L.A. Because, why not.

"Baywatch" actress Brooke Burns MANGLED her BMW Thursday near Universal Studios ... thankfully, there was a guy in his PJs to give her a shoulder to cry on.

Witnesses tell TMZ ... Brooke was driving in North Hollywood when she slammed into the passenger side of a Toyota Matrix.

Police and fire units rushed to the scene ... but no one was taken to the hospital. Both cars were undriveable and a tow truck had to be called.

Brooke is built better than most to withstand injury ... she has a titanium rod and screws in her neck ... from a swimming pool accident in 2005 in which she broke her neck.

No word on the identity of the pajama man ... or why he was rockin' flannels in the middle of the day.

The cast and crew of "Drop Dead Diva" may be out of work after today ... but at least they'll have something fun to do while they wait for residual checks.

The show just wrapped for what could be its final season ... and sources on the set tell us the entire staff -- from the stars to the grips -- got beach cruiser bikes as parting gifts.

We're told they were all called together for a big good-bye speech thanking them for their hard work ... and then told to go outside where 115 Old Skool beach cruisers -- each with a name tag -- were waiting for someone to ride them ... we're talking the bikes.

It's the most baller move Ray J's made since shaking Kim Kardashian's cakes to camera -- he just celebrated a 7-figure TV deal by dropping half a mil on his and hers exotic sports cars.

Ray sunk the massive chunk o' dough into a Bentley Continental convertible for his gf, Princess Love -- and a Ferrari 458 for himself ... all on the heels of signing a fat new contract with VH1.

Sources close to the sex tape star/singer tell TMZ the deal has 6 zeroes attached -- and Ray will not only star in "Love and Hip Hop L.A." ... but also develop shows for the network with his manager David Weintraub.

We're told RJ will appear in some of the shows, and produce others. Real talk though -- he's mostly gonna enjoy the hell outta the Ferrari.

Stephen Baldwin was arrested in Manhattan this morning for driving with a suspended license, TMZ has learned.

According to police sources, Baldwin was busted just before 7:00 AM in the Sugar Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. Our sources say Baldwin had an expired Texas registration and a suspended license.

Paul Walker's famous car collection is now up for sale, but TMZ has learned the estate will NOT use Paul's name in connection with the sale.

According to our sources, Walker's exotic car shop, Always Evolving, is working with the estate to organize the sale, which has already begun -- but we're told the estate felt Paul wouldn't want his name, or the infamy of his fatal crash, to be used to jack up prices.

According to our sources, about 30 cars will go up for sale ... including BMWs, Audis, a lot of Mustangs, and a few Porsches.

Out with the old, in with the new ... even when your new car looks just like the old one -- at least that's how the guys from "American Pickers" do things.

Mike Wolfe recently hooked himself up with a 2015 Ford Transit after co-stars Frank and Danielle prodded him for months to can the old ride.

We're told the old van had 275k miles on it and was starting to smell -- so they gave up on constantly paying to fix it.

Salma Hayek's brother Sami may have gunned his muscle car just before getting into a fatal car crash, and cops are thinking of referring the case to the D.A. for manslaughter prosecution.

LAPD got a search warrant -- obtained by TMZ -- which allowed them to root through the car Sami was driving -- a 2006 Ford GT. Cops were zeroing in on a device called an RCM -- restraint control module, which is like a black box for cars.

Cops believe the RCM will confirm the stories of some eyewitnesses ... that Sami gunned his car and lost control, which then caused him to fishtail over the center line and hit a car coming in the opposite direction.

According to the search warrant, cops reveal they anticipate sending the case to the L.A. County D.A. for possible felony vehicular manslaughter prosecution.

The legal docs don't reveal the results of the RCM analysis.

And, according to the search warrant, Salma and her husband OWN the car and he often drove it when they were out of town. Under California law, if the victim's family sues, the registered owners could also be on the hook.

"Are You the One?" star Chris Tolleson was the one ... who along with a few friends, rescued a guy from a burning car just minutes before it burst into flames.

Tolleson tells TMZ he was in a car with a group of friends in Virginia Beach a few weeks back when they drove up to an accident scene and discovered a car that had just crashed into a tree ... and was ON FIRE.

Tolleson says he and his friends ran out of their car and found a guy unconscious in the passenger seat (there was no driver to be found) but the door was blocked by a tree. He says he and his friends pulled the tree back enough so they could open the door and dragged the guy out of the car.

After Tolleson says they dragged him 50 feet or so, he says they could hear the car starting to crackle, so they dragged him another 50 feet. Tolleson says the car blew up just a few minutes later.

Tolleson says his other two friends suffered first degree burns from the fire, while he got cut up from helping to remove the tree.

The victim suffered serious injuries. No word on his progress.

Dina Lohan has something in common with her daughter Lindsay now ... after she pled guilty this morning to aggravated DWI and speeding in a Long Island courtroom ... TMZ has learned.

According to courtroom sources, Lohan must do 100 hours of community service. She is expected to have her license revoked and an interlock device will be installed in her vehicle.

We're told she must also attend a mandatory drinking and driving program, a victim impact panel and also pay the necessary fines and fees.

As TMZ previously reported, Lohan was busted last September with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit.

Former "CSI" star Jose Zuniga's white SUV is in pieces -- after his car crashed through a bus stop in Hollywood moments ago.

Zuniga -- who has also appeared in pretty much every other TV show you've ever seen -- tells us, he was rear-ended ... and the other car sent him careening through a nearby bus stop. He landed in a construction area. We're told a third car was also involved, but damage to the other cars wasn't as bad.

Thankfully, we're told no one was injured. The fire department responded to the scene shortly afterward.

Justin Bieber is making a habit of making it look like he owns cool stuff, when he really doesn't -- this time he tried to pass off a super famous yacht as his own ... when everyone knows it's not his.

As TMZ first reported, Bieber posted a photo of himself in a Bugatti that he referred to as "my first Bugatti" ... but it was just a loaner from Birdman.

Then on Wednesday, Bieber posted a pic on board a yacht called "Never Say Never" -- which just happens to be the name of his concert film. But TMZ has learned Bieber does NOT own the boat ... not even close. The boat is registered to a family trust based in Coral Cables, FL.

Here's why Justin is particularly stupid for trying to lay claim to the yacht -- it's the same boat Lonely Island used for their LEGENDARY video, "I'm on a Boat."

If you want to make it in the rap game, Justin ... might want to start getting your own stuff instead of borrowing other people's.

Birdman is not as generous as Justin Bieber would have you believe ... the car Biebs posed with on Instagram was NOT a gift -- it's just a loaner from Birdman.

Biebs posted the photo on Instagram Monday with the caption, "Uncle Stunna luv. My first Bugatti ♛ #generosity"

It makes it seem like Birdman bought the car for Bieber, but we've learned that's just not case. Birdman told Biebs he's welcome to drive the car -- reportedly worth nearly $2 million -- whenever he's in Miami.

Here's the thing ... when you lend Bieber a car ... what's the worst that can happen?

There's a bad pattern surfacing in the young life of Austin Mahone.

The singer was rollin' through Miami Friday on a segway with a felonious design ... which now matches a Range Rover that makes Justin Bieber's reflective whip look understated.

BTW .... the segway has speakers.

One day he'll look back and regret this ... we hope.
