Justin Bieber has had his share of car problems in the last few weeks ... the latest of which appears to be a very perplexing flat.

The Biebs was outside the Montage hotel Saturday in Bev Hills when he pondered the flat. It's apparent from the pic he's not a tire iron kinda guy.

You'll recall, Justin accidentally ran over a photog and got slapped with a ticket for yakking on a cellphone while driving.

Judging by his expression, we're guessing a nice man from AAA came to the rescue.

Michael Lohan's wife called the cops on him, but ended up getting taken in herself for a psych examination.

Michael tells TMZ ... Kate Major was drunk when arrived back at his Florida home around 6 PM Friday, so he left and took their kids with him. He says she was pissed and called 911 to report a kidnapping ... during the call she allegedly made threats of violence toward Michael.

Lohan says when cops arrived he showed them video of the incident he recorded and cops determined he did nothing wrong. Kate, however, was taken into custody for the threats she had made.

Boca Raton Police confirm ... they did respond to a domestic violence call Friday night and took Major into custody under Florida's Baker Act, which allows for an involuntary psych evaluation.

We're told police took Kate to a mental health facility Friday night.

Michael tells us he and Kate have been living together after a long period of estrangement ... which included her going to jail.

Matthew Modine does not think Charlottesville and other terrorist attacks are a harbinger of bad things to come ... to the contrary he thinks we are living in the best of times.

We got the "Stranger Things" villain Saturday at M Cafe in Bev Hills, and he blames the perception that our world is crumbling on a 24-hour news cycle that obsesses over the negative.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are a shining example of staying together through thick and thin.

The rocker and the talker -- who have been hitched for 35 years -- hit up Bristol Farms in WeHo Saturday ... roaming the isles and filling up the shopping cart.

It's actually pretty cool ... they separated for a time, they have epic arguments and she's even appeared to have thrown in the towel, but they have undeniable love for each other that keeps them together.

Dick Gregory -- comedian, actor, writer and famed civil right activist -- died Saturday night in Washington D.C. ... according to a statement from his family.

Gregory began his career as a comedian while serving in the the military in the '50s.

He broke color barriers by becoming the first black performer to perform at a white club in 1961, when Hugh Hefner eyed his talent and gave him a regular gig at the Playboy Club in Chicago. He was a hit.

Gregory's talent was laced with political rhetoric. He once said/joked, "Segregation isn't all bad. Have you ever heard of a collision where the people in the back of the bus got hurt?"

He was invited to perform on "The Tonight Show" in the days of Jack Paar, but refused unless he was able to have a seat on the couch.

Gregory became a prominent civil rights leader who was arrested a number of time during marches in the '60s. He marched in lockstep with some of the biggest civil rights leaders of the decade.

Dick was also a writer known for the documentary "Joe Louis: America's Hero... Betrayed." Comedy Central named him #82 on the all-time list of greatest stand-up comedians.

The comic and civil rights legend was recently hospitalized for a urinary tract infection, according to his son, Christian. Dick later died from heart failure, according to his rep.

He was 84.

RIP

Sean Kingston's begging for mercy -- asking a judge to drop a warrant for his arrest and let him try again in a jewelry case ... instead of sending him to jail.

Here's the story -- Sean was ordered to pay a Florida jeweler $44,000 in December but hasn't yet, so he's become a wanted man. According to new legal docs filed by Kingston ... he didn't know about the order, because he thought the papers he got were for another case, and he ignored them.

Sean says he's regretful and ready to take responsibility ... but wants a new trial so he can tell his side of events. He's also asking the judge to throw him a bone because he's repping himself "due to financial efficiency" and has had health issues after allegedly being assaulted and robbed recently.

The singer claims he's returned some of the merch in question to Haimov Jewelers and tried to set up a payment plan, but they wouldn't accept it.

We reached out to Haimov ... they say Sean hasn't returned anything or even reached out to them.

Sonia Rockwell sticks out like a sore thumb on the sand, especially when it's covered in gross sea debris.

The "Being Mary Jane" actress flew solo to the beach in Malibu last week and added some beauty to the shoreline ... which looked uncharacteristically gnarly. She made the most of it, though ... finding a spot to catch some rays and read a book.

Sonia showed up rocking the daisy dukes ... but stripped down to her bikini to take a dip in the Pacific.

Captain America. Wonder Woman. The Olympian?

Marvel's roster is full of badass superheroes -- and Team USA legend Gabby Douglas wants to join the squad.

Gabby recently announced that she's gonna take her talents to Hollywood ... so when we saw her at LAX, we had to ask what her dream acting job would be.

Without hesitation, she told TMZ Sports she wanted to be the next crime-fightin' megastar.

Gabby's shootin' HIGH right out the gates ... but we're pretty sure she's got the moves to do it.

Ice Cube dished out some life lessons as the guest speaker during a Seattle Seahawks team meeting, but the gist of his speech echoed one of his hit tracks -- Do ya thang!

The rapper made a surprise visit to the Seahawks' facility Saturday along with NBA legend Allen Iverson -- the 2 are in town for the BIG3 playoffs Sunday at KeyArena -- and coach Pete Caroll let Cube address his squad.

Among the topics he broached was the choice to sit or stand during the National Anthem, a hot-button issue for the NFL. Ice made his stance pretty clear -- all players have the freedom to make their own decision.

The team meeting changed pace afterward when a free throw contest broke out between A.I. and cornerback Richard Sherman. Check out the vid for 'the answer' of who won.

Tommy Lee won't be busted for possibly busting with his girlfriend in an American Airlines bathroom, because what the 2 did inside is nobody's business but theirs ... TMZ has learned.

Our American Airlines sources tell us ... there were no complaints filed with the company about Tommy and his gf Brittany Furlan joining the mile high club. We're told it's NOT against policy for 2 people to use the same lavatory at the same time ... and what they do in there is private.

Our sources say typically, when 2 people use the same bathroom, it's the elderly or someone who needs medical assistance ... but Tommy and Brittany both appeared to be in good health.

The rocker and his gf didn't create a disturbance on the short flight from Nassau to Miami, so we're told Tommy's off the hook -- he won't face a ban.

We reached out to a rep for American Airlines ... the company officially has no comment on this matter.

What's funny, though -- even though AA seems to be cool with Tommy and Brittany's hookup, she's not happy with them ... because she claims the airline lost their luggage.

We've got some great Nature Boy news -- Ric Flair is "awake, communicating and progressing" ... according to his rep.

The legendary wrestler's been hospitalized in critical condition since early this week after undergoing surgery and suffering from multiple organ problems. ... but it sounds like he's making strides toward recovery.

He's definitely not out of the woods yet, though -- his rep Melinda says there are still "complications" ... so Ric needs his rest.

Melinda thanked fans for the outpouring of prayers and well wishes and says Flair's a survivor -- Hulk Hogan would agree -- and that he's even been able to cut a promo on a nurse.

A very, very good sign indeed. Get well soon, Nature Boy!!!

Madison Parker's either throwing serious shade at her ex ... or she needs to see a doctor about short-term memory loss.

Aaron Carter's ex-GF was outside Blind Dragon in Weho Friday night when our guy asked her an interesting question about Carter's sexuality ... that she clearly didn't want to answer.

It seems like there's bad blood brewing between the 2 since they've split -- Aaron told us Madison walking out on him was a gut-punch -- and now she's referring to him as an enemy.

On the bright side -- Madison tells us she loves everyone and prays for the best, and Aaron says he's doing great ... in the oral sex department.

It'll make you cry but it's also loving and sweet ... a dog with terminal cancer gets what most canines and humans say is one of life's great pleasures -- an In-N-Out burger.

Maddie the lab is 13-and-a-half and was just diagnosed with a rare form of incurable spleen cancer. The dog isn't suffering yet, so her owner presented the pooch with the famous burger, sans cheese and condiments.

Maddie lunged for the patty and life, at least for now, is good.

The "Free Speech Rally" in Boston Saturday has turned into a massive demonstration by counterprotesters -- thousands and thousands of them -- condemning the alt-right, white nationalists, racists, fascists and neo-nazis.

Exactly one week after the Charlottesville attack, a rally by conservative activists -- who attempted to distance themselves from white nationalists -- has been dwarfed by a diverse group of counterprotesters who believe the "free speech" rally is a guise for hate speech.

As of Saturday afternoon, there have been no reports of major violence as the rally at the Boston Common has been surrounded by thousands holding signs and chanting messages of anti-racism.

As we reported ... James Alex Fields Jr. plowed his car into a group of counterprotesters last Saturday in Charlottesville after a day filled with violence. He was charged with second-degree murder.

Tommy Lee can vouch for American Airlines, because he definitely got something special in the air.

The Motley Crue drummer and Brittany Furlan had one last hurrah as they left Nassau by slinking into the first class bathroom of an AA jet, and lingering for a long, long time ... passengers say at least 20 minutes.

The passengers were pissed off, but there was clearly no pissing in the lavatory ... just a little turbulence.

They tried to make a discreet exit, with Tommy walking out first and Brittany lingering inside for around 25 seconds before emerging with a s***-eating grin.

Here's what makes it even better. The flight to Miami took a grand total of 65 minutes.
