Paris Hilton has lived with BF Doug Reinhardt a grand total of five months, and already the LAPD, the L.A. City Attorney and the L.A. City Council have gotten involved in her very noisy life.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD has received numerous noise complaints against Paris and Doug and cops are fed up. We're told from now on when anyone at the house breaks the law, there will be "tickets or arrests."
Neighbors -- one of whom calls Paris "a monster" -- have called their city councilman complaining about the way Paris disrupts the neighborhood with noise, out-of-control parties and fighting. The councilman contacted the City Attorney's office who is now dealing with the neighborhood complaints.
One member of the local patrol tells TMZ he's all too familiar with Paris etiquette. He was called out to her old neighborhood for the same problems.
We're told cops went to the Paris/Doug homestead yesterday to have a sit down with the boisterous couple, but they weren't there -- or, they were hiding.

Cindy Crawford's alleged extortionist cannot be extradited to the U.S., but he's not out of the woods.
TMZ did some checking and found Edis Kayalar, who turned himself in to German police Monday night, cannot be shipped back to the U.S. for allegedly demanding $100,000 from Cindy and hubby Rande Gerber. Germany does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S.
So, you ask, why did Kayalar turn himself in? We're told in November, after Kayalar was deported to Germany, he was sending emails to Gerber asking for money that could be transferred into a German bank account. That, German authorities tell us, is a violation of German extortion law.
Kayalar allegedly stole a photo from Cindy's former nanny -- a photo that shows her 7-year-old daughter tied up to a chair and gagged. The nanny says she took the photo as a joke.
Kayalar has been denied bail, because the German judge thinks he's a flight risk.

Paris Hilton says her neighbor and cops are mistaken -- she wasn't in the epic driveway fight this morning that sent squad cars rollin' to her house.
Here's Hilton's story: "Doug and I were in bed, sound asleep, when Doug's houseguests from hell got into an argument. We had nothing to do with it. Doug told the LAPD that his guests' fight was over and that we had nothing to do with it."
Ok, sounds credible, except for the neighbor who says he eyeballed Paris in her driveway screaming at BF Doug Reinhardt, and then watched as the two engaged in a mutual shoving match. And then there's the LAPD, who tells us after arriving they actually made Paris get out of bed so they could check for injuries.
Was it Paris? You be the judge.

Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt got into an epic fight early this morning ... so much so the LAPD responded to a call -- "Drunk people arguing" -- this, according to law enforcement sources.
It happened a few hours ago in the Hollywood Hills. An eyewitness tells us he saw Paris in her driveway and Doug getting in his car, when Paris began screaming, "Don't go, don't go!"
The eyewitness tells us Doug got out of the car and the lovebirds began "shoving each other."
The last the eyewitness saw Paris and Doug go back up the driveway.
According to law enforcement, cops spoke to Paris and left.

The 26-year-old German model who allegedly tried to extort $100,000 from Cindy Crawford has turned himself in to the cops.
Edis Kayalar (right), who has been charged with one count extortion, walked into a police station in Germany yesterday.
As we previously reported, Kayalar was threatening to sell a photo of Cindy's daughter which showed her bound to a chair and gagged.
Kayalar faces two years in the slammer. He'll appear before a judge later today.
Story developing ...

TMZ has obtained the 911 call made last week after Mike Tyson got into a bloody altercation with a paparazzo at LAX.
The woman who placed the call says she "has a man bleeding from the face. I think it's Mike Tyson ... the person he assaulted."
As we previously reported, both Tyson and the photographer performed citizen's arrests on each other and were booked for misdemeanor battery.

Reese Witherspoon is more than happy to become the key witness in a case involving a vicious fight between two members of the paparazzi.
The whole thing started in Brentwood earlier today, when two pappers -- not ours -- were trying to get a shot of Reese after she finished exercising. Each wanted to get "the shot" and they began fighting. We're told it was intense.
The LAPD was called to the scene. Cops took a report and are investigating.
Law enforcement sources tell us Reese contacted the LAPD and identified herself as an eyewitness, saying the fight was brutal ... telling cops she would be "happy to cooperate" with any investigation or prosecution.

Brittany Murphy is the girl who cried gunshot.
TMZ has learned cops received a frantic 911 call around 2:30 this morning from neighbors complaining about a screaming Brittany Murphy, who was wailing about shots fired outside her Hollywood pad.
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.
For the cops' sake, let's hope this is the kinda thing that only happens sporadically.

UPDATE: A lawyer for Jamie tells TMZ, "Contrary to the statement by Mr. McCourt's attorney, no one other than Mrs. McCourt and the housekeeper were at the home when Mr. McCourt appeared and police were called.
The police report and the facts of the situation speak for themselves."
Frank McCourt -- owner of the L.A. Dodgers -- scared his estranged wife Jamie so badly she called 911, this according to law enforcement sources.
It happened Sept. 5 2009, at 10:10 in the morning. We're told Jamie was swimming in the pool of her Holmby Hills home when Frank suddenly and unexpectadly appeared. Jamie called 911, explaining that she was frightened because of previous incidents in which Frank had allegedly lost his temper and scared her.
Jamie then called the couple's private security for assistance.
By the time the LAPD responded, private security had already arrived to make sure Jamie was OK.
When cops arrived, the officers interviewed both Jamie and the couple's housekeeper -- who told police she had heard Jamie scream.
Soon after she spoke with cops, we're told Jamie left the house.
But Frank sees things a different way, his lawyer just released the following statement on his behalf:
"The events described by TMZ occurred when the McCourts had already separated.
Mr. McCourt was living alone at the residence in West Los Angeles and his wife was residing in Malibu. That morning, Mr. McCourt left the house and went jogging. When he returned home to the West Los Angeles residence, he found his wife swimming in the pool and her personal "security assistant" Jeff Fuller, was also at the residence.
The news of a 911 call came as a surprise to Mr. McCourt. He had no knowledge of any 911 call at the time; or of any visit by any police officers and law enforcement has had no contact with him. As previously reported by TMZ, Mrs. McCourt and Mr. Fuller have been linked romantically.
Any 911 call makes no sense at all unless there was an ulterior motive which you can be assured will be fully explored."

Just moments ago, Dennis Quaid returned to the scene of the non-crime -- retrieving the truck that cops suggested he trade for a cab last night outside of an L.A. restaurant called Philippe.
This time, he was able to leave without incident ... we're guessing his bar-top-dancing buddy is still sleeping it off.

Dennis Quaid lucked out big time last night. Cops tell us the actor could have been hit with DUI since he did get behind the wheel of of his car -- while the motor was running -- and turned the wheel for a split second.
Cops tell us if the motor is running and you're behind the wheel -- you can get busted for a DUI. Cops eventually told Quaid to get out of the car -- and he took a cab home.
We're told the decision to bust is at the officer's discretion, which in this case, saved Quaid's ass ... so we gotta ask ...

Dennis Quaid is a lucky man ... because last night he was about 1 inch away from getting arrested for DUI.
It happened at Philippe restaurant in West Hollywood early this morning. Quaid, his wife Kimberly and a friend walked outside and the valet had already brought the car up ... the motor was running.
They got in -- Quaid behind the wheel. It looks likes Quaid may have moved the car a foot when a cop pulled up alongside and urged Quaid not to 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 went inside and came out a short time later to a waiting cab. The paps screamed "You don't want a DUI. You don't want to end up like Mel Gibson." Everyone, including Dennis, laughed and they drove away.

A farmer used his cow as a weapon and sprayed cops with milk during a protest in Brussels the other day.
The protest was over the falling leche prices in Europe.
Milk doesn't always do the body good.

A stirred and shaken paparazzo (not a TMZ photog) just told us he just had a gun pulled on him by cops at Audrina Patridge's home, because they mistook him for her alleged stalker.
Cops confirm to TMZ they responded to a call from one of Audrina's neighbors about a "suspicious person." The cops thought it might be Zachory Loring, who was ordered yesterday to stay clear of Audrina for 3 years.
The LAPD could not confirm if a gun was drawn.

It was either the ballsiest move -- or the stupidest move -- Diddy ever made ... getting right in the face of a tough-talking hip-hop cop, not affiliated with the NYPD, and calling him a "mother f**ker" during an extremely heated confrontation.
It all went down Sunday night outside a VMA afterparty at 1 Oak -- the cop forcefully instructed Diddy to keep moving on the sidewalk ... to which the record mogul replied, "Lower your f**king voice when you're talking to me ... I'm a man just like you."
The cop then yelled back at Diddy, "I don't give a f**k who you are."
Diddy turned and shouted back, "I don't give a f**k who you are either mother f**ker!"
The two men continued to yell at each other until Diddy's entourage ripped him away.
According to MTV, Diddy eventually made it into the club. He later Twittered "I'm gonna say this, we should always have respect for each other! End of discussion" -- but it's unclear whether he was addressing this situation or the one between Kanye and Taylor Swift.
