Ride Me

Her baby sister Petra Ecclestone bought Candy Spelling's mega mansion, but model Tamara Ecclestone will just have to settle for getting a meager old ... brand spankin' new Ferrari.

The 27-year-old Formula 1 heiress had the new luxury wheels delivered in London on Tuesday.

How will she manage?

Esai Morales got himself a new hit over at Nickelodeon Studios this week ... where the "Caprica" star allegedly smashed his Hummer into the back of another car.

According to an eye witness, Morales was driving on Sunset Blvd. on Wednesday when he crashed into a Saturn that was stopped at the time.

We're told no one was injured in the wreck and the Saturn only sustained minor damage. The witness tells us she recognized Morales and tried to tell the other driver he'd just been hit by a celeb ... but Esai told her to pipe down because, "He'll think I'm rich."

Suge Knight better be on his best behavior for the next three years -- because the rap mogul just got sentenced to 36 months probation for driving on a suspended license.

As TMZ first reported, Suge's badass black truck was impounded back in February -- after cops cited Knight for driving on a bum license.

Suge pled no contest to the charge -- and was given three years unsupervised probation.

David Beckham got pulled over in Malibu yesterday ... after cops decided he was too shady for his own good.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ .. the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. stopped Beckham's SUV on Pacific Coast Highway because the window tint on the vehicle was too damn dark.

But fear not Galaxy fans, we're told Beckham was merely given a warning and sent on his way.

After years of hype, Leonardo DiCaprio finally got his hands on the most highly-anticipated hybrid car ... maybe EVER ... the 2012 Fisker Karma.

The car -- which has a base price around $100k -- is all the rage among the top players in the green community ... and according to reports, Al Gore and Colin Powell are next in line to get a Karma.

Sure it's expensive, but the Karma is nothing compared to the world's most expensive hybrid car ... Porsche's 918 Spyder -- which will set you back an environmentally sound $845K.

Batman is SUPPOSED to be a master of all things mechanical -- but last weekend in Toronto, some bat-impostor ruined the Dark Knight's good reputation ... when his replica Batmobile overheated on the side of the road.

Law enforcement tells TMZ, it wasn't the REAL Batman -- though the man's receding hairline bears a striking resemblance to Michael Keaton -- it was some Canadian superfan with a lot of time on his hands.

Mr. Bean is a VERY lucky man ... because the guy WRECKED the hell out of his MILLION DOLLAR McLaren F1 sports car last night ... and was only hospitalized for a minor shoulder injury.

According to U.K. reports, the 56-year-old comedic actor -- real name Rowan Atkinson -- was driving in England around 7:30 PM last night ... when he lost control of the car, spun three times, ran into a tree and hit a signpost.

Bean was taken to a nearby hospital where he is being treated for the shoulder injury. His car wasn't so lucky -- the entire back end was absolutely crushed.

The worst part -- the McLaren F1 is so rare, there are only 100 of them in the world.

Rowan's rep tells TMZ ... Rowan is "all fine and going home [from the hospital] soon."

After getting arrested for a DUI on her way back to L.A. from Vegas and then posing for that classic mug shot, Samantha Ronson put another smirk on her face to pick up her Porsche at the impound lot on Monday.

88-year-old driving legend Carroll Shelby is adamant ... he did NOT sexually assault his former receptionist, claiming her accusations are nothing but "wild and fantastical."

TMZ broke the story ... Angelica Smith filed a $5 million lawsuit against Shelby -- who famously designed the Ford Mustang Cobra -- claiming he groped her at his home and also ignored her complaints when she told him she was raped by one of his employees. Smith claims she was fired, in part, because she reported the alleged rape to Shelby.

Shelby's lawyer, M. Neil Cummings, tells TMZ, "Carroll Shelby is disappointed that such wild and fantastical allegations have been made by a former employee."

He adds, "The fact is that her position was no longer required due to Mr. Shelby’s age, health and work schedule. But this apparently disgruntled former employee and her counsel have chosen to turn this into yet another prematurely publicized, frivolous lawsuit against a public figure."

"Twilight" star Taylor Lautner just gave the world one more reason to hate him -- because the 19-year-old just bought one of the most badass cars on the planet ... worth more than $200,000.

According to sources, Taylor walked into an L.A. Mercedes-Benz dealership with his parents last Wednesday ... paid for a silver 2012 SLS AMG -- complete with gullwing doors -- and drove it off the lot that same day.

Score one -- a BIG, FAST, awesome one -- for Team Jacob.

Automotive legend Carroll Shelby -- the guy who designed the Ford Mustang Cobra -- has been sued by a former receptionist who claims the 88-year-old sexually assaulted her ... and also ignored her complaints when she told him she was raped by one of his employees.

According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Angelica Smith claims she began working for Shelby back in 2005 as a receptionist ... but was treated as a "personal servant" ... with Shelby often forcing her to go out on "grocery runs, liquor runs, pornography runs."

In the docs, Smith claims Shelby ran a "pervasively hostile work environment" ... and "on at least one occasion, Shelby himself sexually battered [Smith] by groping her" at his home.

Smith claims things got worse in December 2010, alleging she was drugged and raped at Shelby's home by a man who worked for Shelby.

Smith claims she reported the incident to Shelby himself -- but he "did not take any corrective action."

Instead, Smith claims, she was fired -- partly out of retaliation for reporting the rape to Shelby.

Smith is suing Shelby, Shelby's companies and the alleged rapist -- and she wants more than $5 million in damages.

Ashton Kutcher is getting the ROYAL treatment on the set of "Two and a Half Men" ... with a MASSIVE kick-ass trailer all to himself -- but to some Charlie Sheen supporters who still work on the show, it's a bit much.

The mansion on wheels is two stories of awesomeness -- with satellite TV hookups, customized everything ... and "pop out" sections which expand to make the trailer EVEN BIGGER!

Problem is ... there are still plenty of Team Sheen people working on the show ... and we're told they feel the mega-trailer is "over the top" and makes Kutcher come off like a "diva."

But he IS the star of the biggest show on TV ... and Charlie had a pretty big trailer too when he worked on the show.

Shanna Moakler is DANGEROUS behind the wheel ... according to a woman who fired off a complaint to the cops claiming the former beauty queen nearly ran over a kid in a stroller last weekend.

TMZ has learned ... the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. has reached out to Moakler after receiving a tip that she drove her BMW X5 right through a stop sign at a Calabasas shopping center last weekend ... nearly striking several pedestrians including a kid in a stroller.

We're told one of the pedestrians confronted Moakler moments after the incident -- but Shanna simply dropped some F-bombs at the people and went on with her day.

The Sheriff's Dept's Stop Teen Traffic Offender Program (STTOP) has since reached out to Moakler to get to the bottom of the situation ... but Shanna says the whole thing is a bunch of B.S.

Justin Bieber and Sean Kingston were just cruising the Miami Beach strip looking like such BALLERS ... they had to flag down a cop to protect them from adoring fans.

Law enforcement sources tell us Biebs was driving a drop-top Rolls-Royce this evening on Ocean Drive -- with Kingston riding shotgun -- when a group of fans noticed them and started to gather around the car.

We're told Justin and Sean got the attention of a plain-clothes officer who stood guard until the crowd left.

Sources tell us the sick Rolls actually belongs to Kingston, who -- for some reason -- is cool with his 17-year-old pal taking the wheel.

Lindsay Lohan is telling friends ... she's committing herself to a healthier, more active lifestyle ... cutting way back on the late-night partying -- and what better way to do that ... than to BUY A BICYCLE.

Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ, the actress is beginning to face facts -- it's NOT a good idea for her to party at all hours of the morning inside bars, hotels, and restaurants.

Not only is it a terrible influence on a recovering addict -- Lindsay is saying ... it gives people the impression that she's back to her old ways ... when she's not.

TMZ obtained photos of Jeezy talking with Atlanta police officers around 8:00 PM Sunday evening ... after cops pulled over the rapper's super-customized 2011 Ferrari California.

We're told 3 officers in 2 squad cars handled the situation -- and Jeezy was eventually allowed to drive off after receiving his ticket.

Jeezy's citation will cost him somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 ... but based on his ride, we're guessing he can afford it.
