Ladies and gentlemen, Audi has struck again: since JT came onboard, it seems like every other celebrity -- at least the real ones -- has been spotted tooling around in one Audi model or another. (For reasons yet unknown, fake celebs seem smitten with Bentleys and BMWs.) The latest example: Nicole Kidman, seen here loading into an Audi A6 after doing the whole twee/outdoors routine in her native Australia. We have no way of knowing, of course, but we have a sneaking suspicion that Ms. Kidman-Cruise-Urban harbors romantic daydreams of Picnic at Hanging Rock -- minus the terror and ambiguity and...

Cougarwatch: Susan Sarandon Hooks Up With Auto Entrepreneur's Son
Full disclosure: we love Susan Sarandon. Without her, Rocky Horror would've been short an ingenue, and The Hunger would've been missing its key behavioral scientist/vampire lesbian. And of course, how could anyone forget The Banger Sisters? Which, curiously, leads directly into the most recent news...

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...

Pocket-sized bisexual famewhore Tila Tequila recently announced that she's carrying her brother's child and that she's marrying girlfriend Casey Johnson, who, as it turns out, is an alleged cat burglar and heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune. Which means that this image of TT splayed...

Gwen Stefani's Range Rover: Open To Anything, Anyone
See Gwen Stefani. (Behind the link, that is.) See Gwen dressed like an almost-normal person.* See Gwen load a stroller into her tastefully understated Range Rover. Load, Gwen, load! See Gwen drive away. Drive, Gwen, drive! See Gwen's rear gate still open like a big-mouthed hollaback girl frozen in...

Today In WTF Ads: Mazda REALLY Wants Israelis To Use Condoms
Cross-promotion is a common advertising tool. Just consider how often you've seen movies and fast-food joints team up on kids' meal toys, and you'll begin to get the picture. But although this Israeli ad by Saatchi & Saatchi Tel Aviv for the Mazda MX-5 might seem to be the product of a...

As you might've guessed from the photo at left, Spanish automaker SEAT is underwriting Shakira's next European tour. Moreover, SEAT is planning "to enter into close collaboration with the Barefoot Foundation", which was founded by Shakira to provide education to children living in poverty. Exactly what's meant by "close collaboration" isn't sure, but we're assuming it means some kind of cash contribution. So Shakira gets a sponsor, SEAT gets publicity, and poor children get an education? How the hell are we supposed to snark on that? Feh: Thursdays. P.S. Yes, we know that's a terrible...

Today In Politics: Justin Timberlake Is Audi's Ambassador
Remember last week when we spotted Jennifer "Coco" Lopez sliding her superstar culo into the passenger's seat of an Audi Q7? At the time we commented on the swarm of high-powered celebs who've recently been spotted in Audi rides and commended Audi on its covert marketing tactics. Of course, we were...

Fergie & Josh Duhamel: It's A Short Walk From 'Denali' To 'Denial'
You know what? We don't really care about the private lives of celebrities. As long as they're not hurting anyone or holding their spouses hostage, they can do whatever they damn well please. So Josh Duhamel's nutty stripper mistresses, Fergie's bisexual longings: none of that interests us. As far...

Jon Gosselin Gets A Gag Order And A New Ride
On the one hand, Jon Gosselin is a complete douchebag who's been kicked to the curb by his equally douchebaggy former wife (aka "Clown Car Kate"). Dude is such turnoff that TLC filed a gag order to keep him from speaking to the media. (TLC claims that Gosselin's famewhorishness, combined with his...

Jennifer Lopez Plops Down On Big, Juicy Audi Q7
We admit it: we totally laughed when Audi announced its goal of beating BMW and Mercedes-Benz in worldwide sales by 2015. But you know, if we were still the betting type (let's just say we learned our lesson), we'd probably take a very long look at those increasingly shorter odds. In recent weeks...

Mila Kunis Pimps The 2010 Chevy Camaro V6 RS For BlackBook
Remember Mila Kunis? The hot brunette from That 70s Show? (Not that Laura Prepon was chopped liver, but still.) Apart from the weirdo fact that she's been dating Macaulay Culkin and that she's the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy (on those rare occasions that Meg puts in an appearance), we...

Okay, so we're not entirely sure that Cam Gigandet qualifies as a celebrity just yet. However, he's been on The O.C. (which we haven't watched), and he's been in both Twilight movies (which we also haven't watched), and most importantly, he's now filming the really fantastic or really terrible Burlesque alongside Stanley Tucci, Alan Cumming, Dita Von Teese, Christina Aguilera, and Cher. In other words, dude's gonna be a household name before long, so we might as well give him the once-over. On the "plus" side, we find Cam's nicely restored, extremely digable, totally enviable Ford Mustang...

Kate Hudson & Alex Rodriguez Roll To The Gym In A BMW 330CI
A couple of weeks ago, we clocked Alex Rodriguez hanging at the valet stand after a workout, waiting for his Porsche 911 cabriolet to be brought around. On that particular day, A-Rod's only workout buddy was his own reflection, glimpsed in the 911's shiny black paint job. And here we see a photo of...

Jessica Alba May Dig Yukon Hybrid More Than Food
Dear Jessica Alba: We took a gander at your IMDB profile, and it looks like you've been getting a lot of work lately -- way more than you've had in recent years. Perhaps you've finally recovered from the curse of Dark Angel that's afflicted 99% of your colleagues. Congrats on beating the odds...

Ewan McGregor Goes Back To The Garden In A Vintage VW Bus
Before people start firing off nasty emails and TPing our ligustrum (it's just a poor, defenseless shrub fer chrissakes), let's get one thing clear: we like Ewan McGregor. Seriously: Trainspotting? Brilliant. Velvet Goldmine? Defined a generation. The Phantom Menace? Well, we don't mention The...

Kevin Federline Gets Gassy With A GMC Yukon
There's a lot to say about Kevin Federline -- sadly, none of it good. Between the guy's prison-quality tattoos, his white-trash habits, his apparent lack of mad skillz, and his train wreck of an ex-wife, K-Fed's an easy target. And thanks to a carb-friendly diet, he's getting even easier. We're...

Schwarzenegger's Porsche 911 Cabrio Spotlights Arnie's Angst
Dear Arnold Schwarzenegger: You are a perfect example of why sane people shouldn't go into politics. Prior your election, you were beloved by thousands -- an idol for bodybuilders, philanderers, and weekend action heroes the world over. Since becoming Herr Governator, however, the tide has...

Over the weekend, we stumbled across this photo of a cute little mutt*, sporting a full harness and a leash and left in someone's back seat. According to reports, the dog belongs to one Kate Beckinsale: Kate Beckinsale spent hours inside the Byron Tracy Salon on November 19, 2009 in Los Angeles, California while her poor little pup sat in the car the whole time. Kate also left all the windows up, no water, his leash and harness on. We're not entirely sold on Ms. Beckinsale's acting talents, but we assume that she's a reasonably smart, sensitive woman who enjoys rainbows and pina coladas and...

Ashley Greene's Audi Q5 Keeps The Twi-Hards (And Us) Guessing
Okay, Miss Ashley Green, this is an occasion of strangeness: three days after we saw Orlando Bloom out and about in his Audi Q7, here you are standing tankside, filling up an Audi Q5. You are also sipping a Diet Red Bull, which is largely irrelevant, except for the fact that (a) you're getting a...

Speidi Tops Off The Tank With Extra Ham
Like rodents in a bleached-out game of whack-a-mole, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt popped up on Regis and Kelly this morning. Mostly they were shilling their new book, How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture. But of course, with a title...

Matthew McConaughey's Camaro Z28 (What, You Expected A Yaris?)
Things we did not know about Matthew McConaughey until this very minute: 1. He occasionally wears shirts. 2. He works out (though given the fact that we see him shirtless so much, the weight-lifting thing shouldn't have been a surprise). 3. He drives a stereotypical but oh-so-bitchin' Camaro Z28...

Justin Timberlake Brings Sexy Back...With An Audi A5?
Sometimes, celebrity car photos are like drunks at a frat party: they say more than you might've expected, and you walk away a changed person -- sometimes for the better, and, well, sometimes not. Take, for example, this shot of Justin Timberlake, prepping for an exhilarating morning of golf as he...

Blythe Danner Forced To Use Trike While Daughter Rakes It In
It may be difficult, but please: look at this. Yes, that's Blythe Danner. AND SHE IS ON A TRICYCLE. Well, okay, the contraption has two small wheels in the back, so technically, it's a quadracycle. But whatever: the thing's effect on us is the same. That effect is nausea. We do not enjoy watching...
