Kellan Lutz plays a vampire in those "Twilight" films -- but it's his ride that really sucks.
The hot-bodied star left Mel's Diner driving every 40-year-old mother's ride of choice -- a white mini van -- and the paps rightly let him have it.
The city of Los Angeles has only received $17,000 of the $1.4 million it cost to put on Michael Jackson's memorial -- but it's not because MJ fans are cheap ... it's because of the complete failure of the official donation website.
The press release from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says, "The city's Information Technology Agency could not handle the high volume of traffic or adequately respond to receive contributions for several hours Tuesday afternoon ... for at least 12 consecutive hours Tuesday evening ... and periodically throughout Wednesday morning."
So Villaraigosa is begging MJ fans to go back to the website and cough up a donation -- but please, not all at once.

In a presser today, police in Nashville, TN revealed the following about the death of Steve McNair -- an investigation they're saying "clearly points to a murder-suicide."
- Sahel Kazemi told friends her life was "all messed up" and she was "going to end it all" before the incident.
- Kazemi was extremely stressed -- she had two car payments, her roommate was moving out and she recently started thinking McNair was seeing someone else (he was actually married).
- The shell casings match the weapon purchased by Sahel and there was trace evidence on her left hand.
- The lack of struggle, Steve's position on the couch and the trajectory of the bullet leads police to believe McNair was "likely asleep" on the couch when he was shot.
