David Cassidy Sued -- The Car Crash 'Victim' Is a Phone-y Baloney

Exclusive

David Cassidy maimed a woman because of his reckless cell phone antics ... so claims the lady in a new lawsuit.

Novlet Lawrence claims in her lawsuit ... the "Partridge Family" star was negligently driving his car when he slammed into her, causing her to suffer bodily injuries, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.

As for the cell phone thing ... Lawrence wants Cassidy to fork over his phone records -- presumably because she believes he was illegally yakking away just before the crash

Cassidy's rep says it's all a money grab, telling TMZ, "Police were called by the woman once she saw who David was. Only then did she complain of her neck being sore. No citations were given and no one was actually hurt or required on set medical care."

Mayim Bialik Sues Over Car Accident -- I Nearly Lost a Hand!

Exclusive

"Big Bang Theory" actress Mayim Bialik has just sued over her serious car accident last year -- claiming it nearly cost her a hand.

As we reported, Bialik was driving in her white Volvo last August when it was struck by a 2013 Mustang in a Hollywood intersection. The other car was filled with Chilean tourists.

At the time, a source told us there was blood everywhere at the crash scene, stemming from major damage to Mayim's hand. Another source said "her finger was almost completely severed ... it was just hanging there."

Now the former "Blossom" star has filed a lawsuit against the other driver as well as Hertz Rent-a-Car -- presumably because the other car was a rental -- claiming she suffered injuries to her right hand, right thumb, and nerve damage.

She's suing for unspecified damages, but that includes lost wages -- and since she earns a reported 5 figures per episode on "Big Bang," it could really add up.

The Pope -- Call Me the Harley Father ... Who Wants My Motorcycle?

Exclusive Details

NEWS FLASH: Pope Francis is a badass who owns not one, but TWO Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

BIGGER NEWS FLASH: He's auctioning them off for charity.

To get you up to speed, the Holy Father was gifted the two bikes by Harley-Davidson during a biker rally in Rome this summer, when 35,000 Harley enthusiasts rode into town to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the motorcycle company.

Roughly 800 of the riders went to the Vatican for a special blessing from the Pope, and during the event, Pope Frank was gifted two new hogs -- a 2013 Heritage Softail Classic (valued at $20,799) and a 2013 Dyna Super Glide Custom ($16,000).

Now Pope Francis has announced he's auctioning off the first bike to benefit a local homeless shelter. The second bike will also be auctioned off, but a charity hasn't been chosen for that one yet.

As for when the first auction takes place, that hasn't been announced yet either.

Amen.

Adrian Peterson to Baby Mama -- I Never Stiffed You ... On Child Support, Anyway

Exclusive

NFL star Adrian Peterson never skimped on child support to the mother of his 2nd child, not once -- despite her claims -- at least according to official documents obtained by TMZ.

As we reported ... Erica Syion filed court docs back in April, accusing AP of stiffing her on more than $50,000 in unpaid child support and other bills (including travel expenses and tuition) related to their 4-year-old son.

She told us, Adrian eventually settled with her in September, paying all his outstanding bills -- but we've obtained official docs showing child support was NEVER in arrears.

According to the papers, Adrian has dutifully paid his child support to Erica ($2,500 a month) since 2009.

Sources close to AP tell us the court order which determined child support ... did NOT require him to pay tuition and travel expenses -- however when Erica raised the issue, Adrian ponied up.

We've also obtained docs showing Adrian asked the court for more visitation time with his son.

We reached out to Erica, but she hasn't gotten back to us.

Kevin Federline -- I Really Don't Give a Crap About Britney

Exclusive

He has two sons with her, but beyond that ... Kevin Federline couldn't give two craps about Britney Spears. Seriously.

Federline was out in L.A. yesterday when we asked him a bunch of questions about his famous baby mama -- her new music video, her Vegas show -- but K-Fed made it very clear ... he's moved on with his life ... and Britney's not a part of it.

FYI, it's been 7 years since they split ... so it kinda makes sense.

Rush Limbaugh -- DISSIN' HOWARD STERN ... 'I Don't Know Who You're Talking About'

Exclusive

Rush Limbaugh is not a fan of Howard Stern ... and last night, he issued a subtle diss to his radio rival ... and it was all caught on video.

Rush was leaving Toscana in L.A. when we asked what he thought about Jesse Ventura telling the media he wants to run for President in 2016 with Howard Stern as his running mate.

And what did Rush have to say about it ... "Who? I don't know who you're talking about."

Boom.

Limbaugh and Stern ain't exactly on friendly terms -- in the past, Stern has referred to Limbaugh as an "idiot," a "loon" and said "he's insane." Stern has also said the guy is "out of touch."

We haven't ever heard Limbaugh fire back ... until now.

A$AP Rocky -- Avoids Charges For Bitch Slap, At Least For Now ...

A$AP Rocky

Avoids Charges For Bitch Slap

At Least For Now ...

Exclusive

A$AP Rocky is dodging charges for bitch slapping a female fan, and it's because nobody can nail down the dude's whereabouts to serve him ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Lisa Wade claims the rapper smacked her in the face -- for no apparent reason -- as he made his way through the crowd at a Philly concert last month.

But since police didn't see it happen and it's a misdemeanor offense ... Wade had to file a PRIVATE criminal complaint with the D.A. -- which means the alleged victim has to give the D.A. contact info for the alleged assailant.

Problem is ... the paperwork was sent to A$AP's record company -- as Wade requested -- via certified mail, but he wasn't there to sign for it. Bottom line ... the docs were returned to sender.

Now the D.A.'s Office can't move forward ... until Wade provides a viable address where A$AP can get served with assault and harassment charges.

Oklahoma Sooners WR -- Alleged Serial Masturbater

Breaking News

Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver Trey Metoyer has a problem -- he can't stop masturbating in public ... this according to police docs obtained by TMZ.

The sophomore -- who was a 5-star recruit out of high school -- was charged with 2 counts of felony indecent exposure after allegedly throwing a J in public on 2 separate occasions.

Here's the breakdown, according to cops:

8/29/13 -- Someone called police in Norman, OK to report a a man wearing a blue shirt and blue pants pleasuring himself inside of a red Pontiac Grand Am.

9/17/13 -- A woman calls police saying Metoyer approached her while she was walking her dog and asked to borrow a pen. She went inside her apt. to grab it and when she returned outside, Trey was outside of her front door"masturbating in front of her apartment.

The woman says Trey then asked her "if she would want the pen back."

We're guessing she declined his offer.

Cops say Metoyer initially denied the allegations -- but later acknowledged them and said " the incidents were a mistake and he was not thinking clearly at the time.''

Metoyer has since left the football team -- so he'll have a lot of time on his hands. Hope he'll keep them in his pockets ...

Keith Richards' Bomb Builder -- It Was Supposed to Be A Gift ... Keith LOVES BOMBS!!!

Breaking News

The 69-year-old man who planned to give a massive explosive to Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has now offered up a bizarre explanation for his bizarre actions -- he built it as a gift ... because Keith loves explosives.

Joseph Callahan's lawyer tells us, "A friend of Mr. Callahan nine years ago met Keith Richards and he (Callahan) knew Keith Richards liked pyrotechnics, so he built this device in the event he met Keith Richards."

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

As we reported, Callahan was arrested a couple weeks ago after police entered his Connecticut mansion and discovered a terrifying arsenal of guns and explosives, including roughly 100 pounds of ammonium nitrate (the same chemical used in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing).

Callahan told police he was building an explosive to give to Richards, but didn't really explain why at the time. He was, however, adamant about not wanting to harm Keith.

Callahan was arraigned today on 112 counts of illegal possession of explosives, reckless endangerment, and manufacture of bombs ... but the case was continued to next month. He's expected to enter a not guilty plea.

Marc Summers RIPS Nickelodeon -- The Network Is a TRAIN WRECK

Who knew .... Marc Summers (famed host of Nickelodeon's iconic 90s show "Double Dare") now hates the kids network with a fiery passion -- and he vented bitterly on the radio this morning, claiming Nick's nothing but a sad shell of its former self.

We won't give it all away (you have to listen for yourself) but basically ... Marc called in to MAX 98.3 in Tampa Bay this morning, claiming Nickelodeon, once the most successful kids network on cable, is "going in the dumper."

He also called the network execs a bunch of a-holes who have been trying to screw him ever since he left.

Bottom line, Marc's saying what 90s kids have been saying for years ... Nick's Golden Age is long over, and it's never coming back. R.I.P.

Lamar Odom -- Eating Armenian, But Still RAIL THIN

Lamar Odom ate out last night -- Armenian, of course -- but emerged from the restaurant looking scarily thin ... especially for a guy trying to make an NBA comeback after a months-long drug binge.

Lamar and some friends hit up Gavar Cuisine in Glendale, CA -- and he walked out sporting his customary Nike warmup, white tee, and interestingly ... a rosary.

LO thinks he can kick his drug habit without rehab AND return to game-shape for the upcoming NBA season, so ... if anyone could use religion it's him.

But judging by his gaunt frame ... what he really needs is a couple of double-cheeseburgers.

Justin Bieber -- China PSYCHED Over New Music Video Leak

Exclusive

Justin Bieber might be pissed his new music video leaked today ... but the Chinese embassy couldn't be happier -- telling TMZ, the video will bring tons of money to China in the form of tourism.

As you may or may not know, Bieber's music video for "All that Matters" -- which he filmed on the Great Wall of China -- leaked onto the Internet yesterday.

The video itself is whatever, but a rep for the local Chinese embassy tells us, it's sure to make the Great Wall an even more popular tourist destination ... which means more money in China's pocket.

Makes sense, but then the embassy rep said something crazy...

She said Justin's trip up the Wall officially makes him a man ... according to an old Chinese saying that goes something like, "Without climbing up the Great Wall, you will not be a true man."

So here's our problem ... as hard as it is for us to believe that Bieber will ever breach manhood, it's even harder to believe he could do it while being carried up the Wall by his bodyguards (see above).

Mike Tyson Conspiracy -- The Government's Killing Our Pigeons!

Exclusive

America's precious pigeon population is in danger -- especially in NYC -- so says famed pigeon lover Mike Tyson, who claims the government has launched an evil campaign to get rid of our gray little friends forever!!!

Tyson was at LAX yesterday when the conversation inevitably turned to his beloved animals -- in the words of Woody Allen, "rats with wings" -- and he explained his conspiracy theory ... that municipalities like NYC have introduced falcons to curb the pigeon population.

He's not far off ... according to a government report from 2007 -- called "Curbing the Pigeon Conundrum" -- NYC officials have used hawks to keep pigeons in check ... but that brief experiment ended in 2003 when one hawk attacked a small dog.

Chief Keef -- Sentenced to 20 Days in Jail Over Dirty Pot Test

Breaking News

Chief Keef turned himself in to Cook County authorities today after testing positive for marijuana ... and was sentenced to serve 20 days in jail.

Keef -- real name Keith Cozart -- was ordered to undergo random drug testing as part of his probation, stemming from a speeding ticket he got back in May in Chicago, when cops clocked him going 110mph in a 55mph zone.

Keef pled guilty to the ticket, but apparently didn't hold up his end of the no-drugs bargain ... so now he's stuck behind bars.

The rapper posted the above pic to his Instagram a couple hours ago, along with the caption ... "Outside The Court House Turnin My Self In 😤😣 But F*** It I Got N****s Facin More Then That ! For Sh*t Like killin Police officers."

Keepin' it classy.

FYI, it's unlikely Keef will serve all 20 days ... we're told the rapper expects to get out by tomorrow due to overcrowding. Calls to his reps weren't returned.
