Ride Me

Chris Brown is under the misimpression Tarzana is a backwoods town where anyone can ride their ATV with abandon, because there are no neighbors to disturb.

Chris ignited a war with neighbors who claim he and his buddies are riding ATVs at high rates of speed in a neighborhood populated with kids and pets who innocently cross the windy streets.

The pic Chris posted is ridiculous ... check out the true lay of the land.

Johnny Manziel is the subject of an active NFL investigation -- with the league taking a particular interest in the QB's role in last month's Mercedes Benz crash on the Sunset Strip.

NY Mets star Yoenis Cespedes better clear out some garage space ... 'cause he just got two brand new rides -- but the catch, he didn't pay a single CENT for 'em.

You already know about his tricked out Lambo, tricked out Jeep, tricked out truck, horse and tricycle ... but Y.C.'s also a hardcore Polaris enthusiast.

In fact, he's been customizing the 3-wheeled monsters for years -- and has a pretty nice collection.

But we're told the company was so happy Cespedes put his Polarises out on display during his spring training car show -- they sent him TWO FREE ONES!

We spoke with Yoenis' pal and car customizer Alex Vega who confirms -- "[Polaris] gave him a 'Ranger' model and an 'Ace' model."

Vega says Polaris also hooked him up with a free "Slingshot" and asked him to pimp it out with one of his trademark "Avorza" makeover jobs because they're interested in creating a special "Avorza" edition to add to their lineup.

Manchester City soccer superstar Samir Nasri was rollin' around Hollywood in a $300k Rolls-Royce this week ... not giving a flying [you know what] about his driver's license controversy in France.

FYI, Nasri is one of the highest paid soccer players in the world ... and has penchant for VERY expensive cars.

But there's drama back in France ... where the 28-year-old was reportedly named in a police investigation for allegedly illegally buying a driver's licence for 8,000 euros without passing the proper tests.

Drama.

Nasri didn't seem phased Wednesday night, when got behind the wheel of what appears to be a Rolls-Royce Wraith and left Warwick nightclub.

Tupac Shakur's 1996 Hummer just left the auction block and it ended up fetching more than 3 times the amount of cash predicted.

As TMZ reported, Pac's hummer -- purchased less than a month before he was killed -- was being hawked through RR Auctions. It was estimated to fetch around $100k, but went for $337,000!

Dick Cheney's life is radically different from his days as Vice President ... for starters he's behind the wheel of his own car, unable to get through a police barricade protecting someone who's currently important.

We got the former Veep in D.C.'s Dupont Circle, where he was trying to pick someone up at a nearby medical facility.

Chris Brown's ATV antics have been captured on video ... which is now in the hands of the LAPD.

The video -- shot by one of Brown's San Fernando Valley neighbors and obtained by TMZ -- shows Brown and a friend, each on an ATV, and another friend on a 3-wheeler, driving at a high rate of speed in the neighborhood.

As we reported, some of Chris' neighbors are enraged he's been driving recklessly in the neighborhood. They say Brown was doing doughnuts on the street last Wednesday, even on someone's lawn. Brown denies it, but this video was shot the next day.

The video has been turned over to the LAPD, which has already told us will be sent over to the L.A. City Attorney for possible criminal prosecution for disturbing the peace.

Chris believes the neighbor who shot the video is just angry because he's "rich and black."

BTW ... driving an ATV on a public street is illegal.

Beyonce's legion of fans got caught in a transportation catastrophe after her L.A. concert because the Uber app went on the fritz ... leaving the door open for Lyft, to save the day.

The Beyhive was scrambling for rides after the Rose Bowl gig, and throwing shade at Uber on social media with postings like -- "the beyonce concert was amazing until I had to wait 2 1/2 hours for an uber. NEVER uber to the rosebowl."

We reached out, but so far Uber isn't saying anything about the service lapse. Its main rival, Lyft, saw a big uptick in biz though that night, telling TMZ ... "We're committed to easing congestion for big events."

And it wasn't just normie fans hitching a ride ... Tyga used Lyft too and gave 'em a shout-out -- in between a Prince sing-along.

This is siiiiiick!!!

Check out Cam Newton's pimped out 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Cutlass -- which was custom plated with real 24 karat gold ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We spoke with the people at Monster Customs in Marietta, Georgia who told us Cam brought in the car a few months ago and wanted to fully upgrade the whip ... from the guts to the exterior.

"We redid the entire car," owner Terry Dobbs told us ... "Fixed the motor. Alcantara leather on the inside with gold stitching in a diamond pattern, new carpet, bigger wheels, new sound system."

And get this ... Cam told the guys that the car would "lean" when some of his bigger friends got in the ride (looking at you, linemen) ... so Monster put a new air-ride system in the whip which levels it out.

And the crowning jewel -- a custom 24k gold plated panther head on the grill ... along with the initials "C1N."

All in all, we're told the car had roughly $45k worth of work done.

Garth Brooks shows more fan appreciation than any singer on earth ... at least for the lucky person who bought the 4 millionth ticket to his concerts.

A teacher showed up at his concert Thursday night in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and she got way more than a good show. The woman was taken backstage before the show, where she met Garth and wife Trisha Yearwood.

She was told she was #4,000,000, and Garth and Trisha showed their appreciation by giving her a new red Corvette and a black Jeep Cherokee -- on the spot. She also got a $5,000 shopping spree, and a trip to Vegas for 4. They're also paying off her student loans.

Kanye West is a chatterbox on flights, and Kim Kardashian ... not so much -- which you would know if you'd scored a seat next to them on a private jet, like one non-celeb did this week.

Mazen Dayen was flying from NYC to L.A. on Tuesday for a business meeting when Kim and Kanye hopped aboard his JetSmarter. For those of us still flying coach, JetSmarter is like an UberPool ride ... but at 30,000 feet.

While Kim slept the entire flight Mazen tells us 'Ye talked to him about watches, cars and the soaring price of real estate in NYC and L.A. So, basically ... lots of rich people stuff. After all, they were on a private jet.

Mazen says it's not unusual to see celebs on these kinds of flights -- that is if you have the $10k for the annual membership.

Kanye West was grinning from ear-to-ear until his stupidly expensive whip wiped it right off his face.

It all unfolded Wednesday as Yeezy left a meeting at his Calabasas office. Check out the vid ... Kanye looked excited and amped for the day ahead when he hopped into his Maybach, a more than $200k luxury ride ... that failed to launch. You gotta see his look of despair.

MMA legend Wanderlei Silva says he was hit by a car while riding his bike earlier Wednesday -- but it doesn't appear the injuries are life threatening.

Someone posted a statement confirming the accident on Wanderlei's official Twitter page ... saying Silva was biking home from a training session when he was hit.

According to the statement, Silva will require surgery on his shoulder ... but the extent of the damage is unclear. No word on where Silva was at the time of the accident, or if any arrests have been made.

LeBron James isn't full of crap in those commercials ...the guy REALLY drives a Kia -- and his teammate, Richard Jefferson, captured the proof on video!

When Bron first started endorsing the brand, NO ONE was buying that a multi-gazillionaire like James would really get behind the wheel of a $50,000 Kia K900 ... instead of a Bentley, Rolls, Ferrari, etc.

But when the Cavs team jet touched down in Cleveland Sunday night -- Bron's Kia was waiting for him on the tarmac (car to jet service?) ... and Jefferson recorded the whole thing.

Jefferson can't seem to believe it and James was laughing during the clip ...

... and all the way to the bank.

Travis Scott should stick to rapping and stay far away from any work as a valet driver ... cuz the dude rammed his Lambo into a parked car.

Scott was leaving the Glendale Galleria last week and you can see, he was in a hurry to get out of there. In fact, he was in such a rush ... he backed right into the car behind him.

By the looks of things, the damage was minor to non-existent and Scott was able to leave on his own after the other driver gave an OK.

Derek Fisher was speeding down the 405 Freeway this week ... but don't worry, he WASN'T on the way to a rematch with Matt Barnes.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the ex-Lakers star was clocked doing 80ish in a 65 on Wednesday night. No big deal, just a ticket and he was on his way.

The good news -- we're told Fisher couldn't have been nicer during the stop and didn't even try to play the "Do you know who I am?" card.
