Jesse James Nearly Fatal Pitbull Attack

(TMZ) A pitbull belonging to Jesse James escaped from the reality star's Texas bike shop this weekend and attacked another dog being walked in the area -- nearly killing the innocent animal ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ spoke with a rep from Animal Control in Austin, TX -- who confirms cops were dispatched to the scene after Jesse's dog -- not Cinnabun -- went after a corgi named Buckley and chomped down on his neck. We're told the person walking Buckley freaked out -- and began punching the pit bull in the face because it wouldn't let go of the corgi.

Eventually, cops arrived to the scene and freed Buckley -- who was rushed to a nearby vet for emergency care. Buckley had to be sedated and stitched up -- and doctors inserted a drainage tube into his neck to prevent infection. After the incident, Buckley's owner got in touch with Jesse's assistant -- who eventually forked over $250 to cover the vet bill. We're told Jesse has also promised to cover any additional medical expenses. more on this story

Brit says Brand Sense withheld Britney's share of the proceeds for months, failing to pay her interest on the delayed payments. Brand Sense is suing Brit, claiming she cut them out of her deal with Elizabeth Arden.
