Spike Feresten, a veteran writer in Hollywood, is raising money for students impacted by the Palisades fire … by putting his classic motorcycle on the auction block.

Spike is auctioning off his 1966 Triumph Bonneville T120R … and all the proceeds are going to the Palisades Charter High School Booster Club. We’re told the money will go towards fire recovery at the school.

Much of the Palisades was destroyed in the January wildfire and the rebuilding efforts are underway … but it’s going to take a lot, and Spike is doing his part.

The guy’s famous for writing on major TV shows like “Saturday Night Live,” “Seinfeld,” “The Simpsons” and for David Letterman. Spike’s also been a screenwriter on “Bee Movie” and “Unfrosted.”

Spike has a connection to Palisades Charter High School … his sons are students there.

The auction ends next week and we’re told the winning bidder will have the motorcycle delivered on Spike’s YouTube show, “Spike’s Car Radio,” which he hosts with Paul Zuckerman.

So much for Wendy Williams being able to come and go as she pleases and spend time with her family … because the facility where she is being housed has filed a police report claiming that her niece broke the law by taking her to dinner.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Wendy’s niece, Alex Finnie, accompanied Wendy on Wednesday from the hospital where WW has been staying for a psychological evaluation back to the Coterie where Wendy has been living for the past 8 months.

After spending time with Wendy at the Coterie, Alex took her famous aunt to an Italian restaurant for dinner. According to sources connected to Wendy and her guardian, the Coterie called NYPD and filed a police report claiming Alex evaded staff by taking Wendy out of the building.

It’s a shocking turn of events, given a letter TMZ received last night from the lawyer representing Wendy’s guardian. That letter said Wendy was free to come and go from the facility as she pleases and no restrictions were placed on family visits. Yet here we are.

At the time of this post, Wendy and Alex are finishing their meal and will return to the Coterie.

Heartbreaking loss for the NBA … former center Oliver Miller — famously known as “The Big O” — has passed away at the age of 54.

Former NBA player Eddie Johnson broke the news on Wednesday … expressing his sadness as he announced Miller’s passing.

“We have lost another @NBA Fraternity member!” Johnson said. “Going to miss you Big O. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. RIP.”

The Phoenix Suns selected the center with the 22nd overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft … and he played there for two seasons.

He also had short stints with the Detroit Pistons, Toronto Raptors, Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings and Minnesota Timberwolves in his nine-year NBA career.

Miller — who became the heaviest player in league history — averaged 7.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.

Miller then took his talents to the Continental Basketball Association, where he earned All-Star honors and was named to the All-CBA Second Team.

He last played in 2010 for the Premier Basketball League’s Lawton-Fort Sill Cavalry.

Miller was a father and grandfather … and in 2020, he said it was a blessing to be involved with his family.
