Accidents

  • George Michael with a cocktail

    You can have your Dreyfusses and Lohans--for our money, George Michael is the Worst Celebrity Driver Ever. This weekend, Michael hit a building after only recently getting his driver's license back from his last scuff with the law. In 2007, Michael was found under the influence of drugs in his Range Rover--in the middle of a London intersection, with the car running. That offense resulted in a two-year driving suspension. Late last summer, Michael was suspected of driving under the influence again, but was released without charges. This time, Michael crashed into a photo-developing shop in...

    Kanye West's Porsche Panamera Hits It And Quits It

    First, he started dating Amber Rose, who's basically the safe-for work equivalent of Ice T's Coco [decidedly NSFW], marinated overnight in a bath of Tila Tequila's famewhorishness, and served in a crusty tortilla shell. Then there was that whole "Imma let you finish" thingamagoo. Now, we learn that...

    This Is What Happens When You Name Your Child 'Mowgli'

    Look, we like kids as much as any other bachelor (priests excluded), but there should probably be some sort of law about acceptable names for infants. Things began sliding off the rails 100+ years ago with the birth of Ima Hogg (who, contrary to popular belief, did not have a sister named Ura)...

    Job Opening: Driver/Personal Assistant to Christina Aguilera

    Dear Personal Assistant of Christina Aguilera (aka Xtina): We have heard that it sucks to be you. Not "you" as in "you, the personal assistant of Christina Aguilera (aka Xtina)", but "you" as in "you, the personal assistant of any former Disney spokeschild". We can only imagine what you must go...

  • Bentley Continental GTC (wrecked by Sean Stewart)

    Dear Sean Stewart: We have a problem. That problem is you. We're not talking about your whiny sense of self-entitlement. (Although please, for the benefit of America's eardrums, STFU.)  We're not talking about your "career" as a reality show contestant. (Although we understand that may be as close to reality as you're likely to get.) We're not even talking about your "career" as a model. (Although, like Cher Horowitz would say: AS IF.) Frankly, Sean, we're not even talking about the fact that you were party to the wreck of a sweet, black, $200,000 Bentley Continental GTC. Yes, that would be...

    NHTSA report reveals excessive speed responsible for only 5% of crashes

    We've all heard the phrase 'speed kills', and it's been widely applied to situations both apt and not. A recent study conducted by the NHTSA examining over 5,400 crashes across a nearly three-year period presents some evidence that excessive speed, while it may cause more serious injuries, is not a...

    Study: Driving with friends triples teen death rate

    Teenagers are one of the highest-risk segments of the driving public due to inexperience behind the wheel. Now a new study in the UK has shown that getting several teenagers together in a car can make the problem even greater, as much as tripling the risk of a fatal accident. According to the...
