Is it just us, or did 2009 completely suck? The economy tanked, automakers went bankrupt, celebrities died left and right (and not even the good ones). Ugh, midnight cannot come fast enough. Since early this morning, our crack team of auto journalists/clairvoyants has been drinking tea -- mostly...

Clearly we have underestimated Anna Faris. We'd written her off as another adorable blonde, on par with Malin Akerman or Hilarie Burton -- which is to say cute, funny, approachably sexy, and doomed to a career full of infomercials. But oh, Ms. Faris has proven us wrong: there is clearly more to...

Back off, Mayer: we said ALLEGED.

Are those boots for fishing. Because they also look like they'd be perfect for cement. Just an observation.

We are SO SORRY that we pay so much attention to these people, but Sophia Loren hasn't done anything stupid in a car in a really long time. She knows better, obvs.

It's hard to know what to make of Kim Kardashian. Sometimes seems pretty self aware -- as if she knows that she's in the 14th minute of her pop-culture notoriety. There is also a remote possibility that Kim understands the sources of her fleeting fame: good bone structure, incredible hair, a...

Good afternoon, class. Time for a pop quiz! How many things can you spot that are wrong in this picture? 1. Nicole Richie, being stalked by the paparazzi. (Still?) 2. Nicole Richie in the company of her brother-in-law, Benji Madden, instead of her husband -- and Benji's identical twin -- Joel...

Okay, Tom Cruise, you have intrigued us yet again. We see you here on the set of your new film Wichita, dangling from the roof rack of a Chrysler Town & Country. That raises some questions: 1. Does this count as doing your own stunts? Or do you call them tricks? We don't know all the fancy...

Okay, Paris Hilton: you are officially blowing our minds. We used to think of you... well, how to put this diplomatically without hurting your feelings? We used to think of you as a faux-blonde, airheaded heiress whose only interests included partying, making sex tapes, and foisting a never-ending...

You know what, Christian Bale? We're concerned. Deeply, deeply concerned. It's one thing to have a penchant for creepy indie films. It is quite another to bring your family along for the ride, metaphorically speaking. We understand that you recently wrapped (that's what they say in the biz, right?...

Dear Alex Reid: Here are some things we have learned from you: 1. Dating a superstar model/horse trainer/plastic surgery aficionado will really get you noticed. Like, a year ago, you'd have been just another half-naked British cage-fighter filling up at the pump, but today you're the half-naked...

OMG, Eva Longoria, is that you being pulled over by one of LA's finest? (And if so, is he really one of LA's finest? Because the view from the back is, shall we say, not encouraging.) How the bejeebus did you get a ticket? We can't imagine that anyone would pull you over for mere speeding...

Sheesh, he's so literal. And awesome.

Seriously, we've had Ford Rangers. WORST. CARS. (OR TRUCKS.) EVER.
