A man was shot multiple times outside a Hollywood club, and TMZ got shots of the getaway car.
It happened around 2:30 AM this morning, right in the middle of H-Wood -- Ivar and Sunset Blvds. There are multiple clubs nearby, but we don't know where the victim or the perp were before the incident. Our photog was walking to his car when he saw a man fire four or five rounds into another guy. The shooter jumped into a car and sped off and our photog caught the escape on tape.
The perp is Black male and was wearing a hoodie (hood was down). There was a black Hummer next to the escape car and they seemed connected. We got the license plate of the escape car -- 5YDN747.
The victim is in critical condition. Another man was also shot several times, but his injuries did not appear serious. Both were taken to the hospital.

Looks like baby Harlow hasn't settled Nicole Richie's wild side yet.
We're told Nicole was involved in an altercation around 1 AM this morning with a female while in line at the valet outside the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Sources say Richie was so rowdy she had to be escorted off the property by security!
The photo was taken early last night at Wasted Space inside the Hard Rock, where we're told Nicole was partying with Carey Hart and the boys from Good Charlotte.
Hard Rock was mum on the issue.
UPDATE: Nicole's rep sent us this statement: "She was in Vegas but there wasn't an altercation of any kind involving her."

Paul Hogan didn't become famous for tax evasion, but that might just put him back on the map.
The wacktor chose to challenge Australian tax authorities Friday to track him down in the U.S. after a report in the Australian National newspaper claimed he dodges taxes more than Wesley Snipes.
Hogan is fighting IRS involvement, saying the Australian officials are unlawfully trying to obtain banking records and other docs to bust him. But Croc Dundee is ready for the fight saying, ''I'll be arrested the minute I land on the shore, of course, but I have a gun; so be warned,'' he joked. Maybe not the best time to joke.
The Australian tax office does not comment on individual cases.

To paraphrase that much-maligned Led Zeppelin album, Alex Rodriguez has been going in through the back door when he wants to see Madonna.
So says the New York Daily News, which reports that A-Rod has been using the building's back elevator, the service shaft. "Her apartment spans the whole floor, so he used the back entrance around the corner and the back elevator," says one source in the building. "Almost no one ever saw him until, one day, he showed up in the lobby."
Meanwhile, Cynthia Rodriguez' mom says she's not mad at him, she's "sad for him."
Christie Lolita's Dad – Maxima-lly Mad
It was the car that Peter Cook helped buy for Diana Bianchi that pushed her stepdad to confront Porny Pete ... and eventually split up his marriage to Christie Brinkley.
Brian Platt tells the New York Post that he confronted Cook at a produce stand in the Hamptons, and then on a park bench, about his affair with Diana, and was particularly upset about the $15,000 Cook gave to her as a down payment on a Nissan Maxima. But Cook didn't think he'd done anything wrong.
"I believe he thought he didn't have to respect me or anyone else," says Pratt, who spilled the beans directly to Christie.
Clooney's Ex Already Diva-ing Out
George Clooney's ex-girlfriend is already ditching gigs in Las Vegas – and her 15 minutes aren't even up, yet.
Larson was one of the featured "celebs" at the opening of the Christian Audigier nightclub at Treasure Island, but she didn't show. Her rep didn't tell Vegas Confidential why she didn't make her appearance, but Nick Cannon, Jaime Pressly, and Johnny Hallyday managed to light up the carpet.
Also a no-show: Michael Jackson.
