Brad Pitt Talks About His Motorcycle Mishap
Brad Pitt mentioned his recent motorcycle mishap while in Tokyo to promote 'Inglourious Basterds.' It sounds like the bike was ruined, although no one was injured.
"I had a little mishap," he said at an Inglourious Basterds event in Tokyo on Wednesday. "No injuries, except my ego. I was trying to get away from some paparazzi and instead gave them a good story.
"It was my favorite bike, so that is really sad," he added.
So it sounds like the paparazzi were involved in some way. Regardless, it sounds like Brad decided to just make the best of a bad situation and take advantage of being in Tokyo.
"I will definitely be looking at motorcycles," he said. "You've got some of the best builders right here."
Between this incident and Nicole Richie's problems, it sounds like things really are getting out of hand with the paparazzi.

Brittany Murphy Calls Police After Hearing Gunfire
Brittany Murphy got quite a scare last night! According to TMZ, her neighbors called the police at about 2:30 this morning to complain about the noise Brittany was making. Brittany reportedly was screaming because she thought she heard gunshots being fired outside her home.
That would make me scream.
When LAPD arrived on the scene, they saw the panicked actress on her balcony, yelling about the alleged gun fire.
No weapon, bullet or body was found -- and after an investigation, the noise was discovered to be coming from a generator, which had been acting up due to the funky L.A. weather last night.
Thank goodness everyone was safe! Hopefully the police advised Brittany to call 911 herself if she thought she heard gunshots outside in the future, but I don't blame her for being panicked.

Brad Pitt In Motorcycle Accident
Boys and their toys! Although the details of what happened are unclear, the consensus is that Brad Pitt was in a minor motorcycle accident. This is what happened according to TMZ:
We just spoke to someone who has seen video of the incident -- and we're told absolutely no one else was involved in the accident.
We're told Brad tried to maneuver his bike between a parked car and a car stopped at a red light, and his handlebars clipped the parked car.
We're told he lost control and fell over -- and everything is fine.
TMZ reports that Brad was able to get the motorcycle off the street before going into a nearby apartment building where he waited for someone to pick him up. He left the motorcycle at the scene, but it was towed away later.
However, according to Radar Online, Brad was rear-ended by a paparazzo, which caused him to rear-end the car in front of him. Afterwards, Brad exchanged insurance information with the driver he rear-ended, surveyed the damage to his motorcycle, and made arrangements to have it towed away.
I bet Brad (and Angelina, once she found out) was a little shaken up, but thank goodness no one was seriously hurt!

Police Help Dennis Quaid Avoid A Possible DUI
Last night Dennis Quaid and his wife were out at Philippe restaurant and things nearly took a bad turn. According to TMZ, Dennis had just got in his car and moved about a foot when a cop car pulled up and urged him not drive.
Dennis responded that he didn't want to drive. The cop repeatedly said, "Get out of the car." Quaid responds, "What do you want me to do." Quaid then asked the cop if they could go back inside the restaurant and the cop said yes.
They apparently went inside the restaurant and called for a cab. TMZ has video of Dennis coming back to pick up his car today.
Do you think it's right that he wasn't arrested? I mean, he was behind the wheel and allegedly moved the vehicle. Do you think they would've been this lenient with just anyone? I bet Dennis is pretty grateful for it.

Elisabeth Hasselback Has A Bit Of A Nip Slip
Elisabeth Hasselbeck returned to The View today after being on maternity leave with her third child, Isaiah. She shared a small embarrassing moment with the ladies (and audience) on The View.
"I had just been feeding him, and I took the photo, he had this huge, huge smile, and it was the cutest picture, so immediately I forward it to everyone in my family distribution list—my mom, my dad, my brother, Tim's dad, his brother, his mom, his other brother—and I sent it to myself, 'cause I'm on the list. So I get home and I open up the photo to see my cute little guy. No wonder why he's smiling because my nipple is in the photo!"
She also shared (joked) about regretting the name they chose:
"I just can't believe I named him Isaiah, 'cause he'll never be able to spell his own name," she laughed. He's gonna totally fail kindergarten!"
Have you ever sent a picture via phone without checking it first? I mean, at least it was just her family, right?

Stephanie Pratt Arrested On Suspicion Of DUI
'The Hills' star Stephanie Pratt (and sister of the infamous Spencer Pratt) was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Los Angeles at 3:45 am this morning after leaving Heidi Montag's birthday party.
Here's what Stephanie tweeted from Heidi's birthday party:
its my sissy @hollymontags bday party! just finished dinner and going to Empire but im pretty tired aka yes i am the party pooper :(
Sources reportedly told TMZ that Stephanie had just left the club when she was pulled over.
Our source says cops watched Stephanie get in her car and were waiting to bust her.
Sounds like they prevented a possible accident there! The police confirmed the arrest.
"It was your basic DUI. Our traffic officers driving down the street spotted her and pulled her over," Sgt. Sal Ogaz tells PEOPLE. "She was cooperative and there were no issues with her arrest."
Yet it sounds like the arrest caused some commotion outside the club.
So how's this for crazy. We're told some spectators who had just gotten out of a club saw Pratt get busted. Some started taking pictures, which ticked off some of the others and a big fight broke out on the street while Stephanie was being cuffed. But Steph was the only one taken into custody.
Stephanie reportedly is still in Van Nuys jail at this time; her bail was set at $5000. Surely brother Spencer can afford to help her out with that?
