Tiger Woods Injured in Car Crash

UPDATE -- According to Tiger's rep, he was in a "minor" accident, "admitted, treated and released today in good condition."

Tiger Woods
is in "serious" condition after being involved in a single car crash near his home in Florida early this morning.

The crash occurred at 2:20 AM in Windermere. He was taken to Health Central Hospital with facial lacerations.

Woods struck a fire hydrant and then a tree on a neighbor's property. The fire hydrant is reportedly less than 100 feet from his driveway.

Police say alcohol was not a factor. There were no signs of alcohol on the scene. We're told the police have yet to speak to Tiger.

The police report reads, "DRIVER HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT HIS RESIDENCE ... AS V1 BEGAN TO DRIVE ON DEACON CIRCLE, V1 STRUCK A FIRE HYDRANT. THE FRONT OF V1 THEN STRUCK A TREE ... THE DRIVER WAS TRANSPORTED TO HEALTH CENTRAL HOSPITAL. THE CRASH REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND CHARGES ARE PENDING."

We're told charges could range from DUI to reckless driving ... to nothing.

He was driving a 2009 Cadillac SUV. FHP says the airbags did not deploy.

Woods was by himself at the time.

His next scheduled event is December 3 in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Seacrest's Stalker -- Big on The Club Scene

Just because Ryan Seacrest's alleged stalker is 6'4" tall, an infantryman in the Army Reserves and known to attack bodyguards at will ... that doesn't mean the guy isn't scared of someone stealing his car.



TMZ obtained photos of Chidi Uzomah's car -- which he left behind at the E! building last week after he got arrested. The car was safe, though, because it was left under the watchful eye of the greatest anti-theft device ever conceived: The Club.

Also inside the car: A Thomas Guide opened up to a map of West Hollywood, clothes, a towel and a backpack full of books.

Maria Shriver Apologizes -- Oops, I Did It Again!

Maria ShriverMaria Shriver is sorry. Again.

The First Lady of California released a statement through her office this afternoon, apologizing for her latest driving gaffe -- parking in a red zone this weekend for over an hour.

Earlier this month, Maria was caught on tape driving while on a cell phone -- three separate times -- a big no-no in California. Maria apologized for that one too.

Maybe now she's learned her lesson.

Brad Pitt Takes a Hit -- Goes Down on Bike

Brad Pitt and his fancy motorcycle hit the asphalt hard this weekend after he clipped a parked car in L.A. -- and now we've got video of the whole thing.


In the footage, Pitt can be seen trying to maneuver his bike between a van and a parked car at a red light when he suddenly loses control -- and crashes to the ground.

During his fall, Brad slams against the car and it appears his bike knocks into the van.

Brad said he was "fine" after the minor crash -- but the chopper needed to be towed away.

Britney Settles with Treadmarked Papper

Britney SpearsTeam Britney Spears has reached a financial settlement with the paparazzo who accused the pop star of intentionally driving over his foot with her Mercedes back in 2007.

Rick Mendoza, who was working for TMZ at the time, had argued that Brit's people "should have known ... Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner."

The terms of the settlement were not released -- but Mendoza had originally demanded more than $200,000 in damages.

Usher to Cops -- My Baby Mama Attacked My Ride

TMZ has learned Usher Raymond recently called the cops on his soon-to-be ex-wife -- accusing her of sneaking onto his property and scratching up one of his cars.

Usher

Law enforcement sources tell us when officers arrived at the scene, Tameka Raymond was nowhere to be found.

Police later interviewed both Tameka and Usher -- but determined there was no evidence or witnesses to substantiate Usher's claim.

But the drama didn't end there -- law enforcement sources tell us Usher called the cops on Tameka a second time several days later, complaining that Tameka again got onto his property and wouldn't leave. By the time cops arrived, Tameka had already split.

Usher filed for divorce back in June ... but it hasn't been finalized just yet.

UPDATE:
TMZ just received the following statement from Tameka's rep:

"This is just another attempt to disparage Tameka. It's simply an angry ploy that has no merit.

Tameka's own truck was scratched but it's not clear how. The truck is registered in her name, it's not even Usher's car. Why would she vandalize her own vehicle?
"

Guy Claims LiLo Stiffed Him on Rented Ride

The guy who lent Lindsay Lohan his Maserati -- which she proceeded to smash up -- finally came to his senses and decided to just rent her another car instead. The only problem -- he claims she never paid him.



Dennis DeSantis claims Lindsay owes him a total of $10,260 for various cars she rented from his company, Specialty Car Craft, back in May.

The bill goes up to $12,310 when you factor in other expenses like detailing and towing.

Lindsay slightly cracked up the Maserati she borrowed from him back in March. DeSantis forgave her for that, but says he is considering legal action for the unpaid bill.

A rep for Lohan could not be reached for comment.

Sean Stewart Wrecks $200,000 Bentley

The bad news: Rod Stewart's son Sean just wrecked a Bentley Continental GTC worth about $200,000.

The good news: It was a rental.

sean stewart

We're told Sean wrecked the Bentley on Sunset Blvd., near Boa Steakhouse. It happened at around 3 PM PT. He was renting the expensive ride from Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car for $2,500 a day.

The rental place tells us they don't sell coverage on high end vehicles ... so it looks like Sean may be in the hole anyway.

UPDATE: A rep for Sean tells us he was a passenger in the car and a female was driving at the time. We're told she lost control and hit the curb.

Keyshawn Johnson -- Loses to UCLA Again

Keyshawn JohnsonKeyshawn Johnson and UCLA just don't mix -- the former USC football star got pulled over in Bruin country Monday night after illegally flippin' a bitch.

We're told campus police stopped Keyshawn around 9:45 PM and cited the former Trojan for an illegal U-turn, using his cell phone while driving (illegal in L.A.) and for not having proof of insurance on his white Mercedes-Benz.

We're told Keyshawn was ticketed without incident and was eventually allowed to drive away in the correct direction.

It's not the first time Keyshawn has been defeated by the Bruins -- UCLA romped all over SC when the two faced off back in 1995.

Jenkins Sued by BMW Days Before Death

Ryan JenkinsRyan Jenkins was sued by BMW for over $12,000 -- and the lawsuit was filed only days before he hanged himself in a Canadian hotel.

According to docs filed in Edmonton, Alberta on August 20, Jenkins was leasing a 2007 BMW 335xi -- but stopped making payments on it in March 2009.

BMW says the vehicle was returned to them -- but Jenkins still needed to fork over $12,750.76 for the lease, plus interest.

The BMW he was getting sued over is not the same one used to flee to Canada.

Cops Have Found Murdered Model's Car

UDPATE 3:13 PM PT: The car has been towed away. We spoke to someone who lives next door to the parking lot, who said they saw the car there on August 15. Ryan Jenkins was seen leaving a hotel near San Diego on August 14 in the white Mercedes. Jenkins was seen carrying a suitcase -- we're told it was the same suitcase that contained Fiore's mutilated body.

The car is expected to be towed to the Orange County Crime Lab in Santa Ana.

UPDATE: An official from the Buena Park PD tells us it is definitely Jasmine's car.

Cops say they have located Jasmine Fiore's Mercedes, which has been missing since her death. We just shot this video of the car -- which is in a West Hollywood parking lot where cops have just arrived on scene.

There was a note on the windshield it read, "This is a private lot. Unattended vehicles will be towed at owner's expense."
