Dick Van Dyke
Pulled Out of
Flaming Vehicle
87-year-old actor Dick Van Dyke narrowly averted disaster moments ago on an L.A. freeway -- when his Jaguar burst into flames -- but thankfully, he was pulled to safety in the nick of time.

The hero who rescued him is a guy named Jason Pennington, who tells TMZ, he was driving along the 101 when he saw a car full of smoke on the side of the road ... and an elderly man hunched over at the wheel.

Pennington tells us, he pulled up and ran over to discover Dick Van Dyke struggling inside.

Pennington says he opened the driver door and pulled the actor out of the vehicle as flames tore through the engine.

We're told Dick was slightly disoriented by the experience but did NOT need medical attention. His wife came to pick him up shortly after and brought him home.

As for the car ... it's toast.

Ice Cube's Tour Bus -- PULLED OVER For Speeding

Ice Cube's Tour Bus
PULLED OVER
For Speeding
If this is NWA, then the "A" stands for acceleration ... because Ice Cube's tour bus got pulled over for speeding this afternoon in Durham, North Carolina.

A rep for the Granville County Sheriff's Department wouldn't say how fast the bus was gunning it along I-85 North, but the speed limit on that road is 70 mph ... so the driver really must've been hauling ass.

But lucky for him, we're told the driver was let off with a warning -- no tickets issued -- and Ice Cube was nice enough to get out and sign autographs for a bunch of the officers.

FYI, Ice Cube's next show for his "Kings of the Mic" tour isn't until tomorrow in New Jersey ... so there's really no hurry.

Justin Bieber Sued -- Photog Alleges Bodyguard Pulled a Gun in Memory Card Heist

Justin Bieber Sued
Photog Alleges Bodyguard Pulled Gun in Memory Card Heist
A photographer who claims Justin Bieber directed his bodyguards to attack him and steal his memory card is now suing the singer and one of the bodyguards ... alleging the bodyguard threatened him with a gun on him during the incident.

As TMZ first reported, photog Jeffrey Binion filed a police report June 5, claiming Bieber's bodyguards attacked him while he tried to take pics of the Biebs outside Miami's Hit Factory recording studio.

Now Binion has filed suit against Bieber and bodyguard Hugo Hesny, claiming Bieber masterminded the attack. Binion says at Bieber's behest, Hesny threw him against a wall, grabbed him by the throat, and "displayed a gun" [holstered under his shirt] while he and the other bodyguards took the memory card from his camera.

Binion (who works as a professional photog and insists he's not a paparazzo) claims he suffered bodily injury, pain and suffering, mental anguish and incurred medical expenses.

Binion's lawyer, Russell S. Adler, tells TMZ, "Justin Bieber is now an adult, and he should act like one. He needs to learn that he cannot use bodyguards as weapons to harm innocent people. Bieber’s violent behavior toward photographers must end, and he should take responsibility for his actions."

He continues, "No amount of fame or fortune justifies Bieber’s shameful and outrageous conduct. To send him that message and deter his misbehavior in the future, we will seek punitive damages against him as allowed by Florida law."

Adler -- who has previously handled cases against Rosie O’Donnell, Paulina Rubio, and Jason Kidd -- claims Hesny is not licensed to work as a bodyguard in the state of Florida, nor does he have a concealed weapons carrying permit there.

Bieber and his bodyguards have recently been involved in four similar incidents -- three last week in Miami and one Saturday night in Hollywood.

A rep for Bieber had no comment.
