News flash: Christina Aguilera has a need for speed. News flashier: unlike many of her pop tartelette colleagues, she wants the legal kind. Behind the link, you'll see a very recent shot of Xtina browsing the merch at a Ferrari dealership in Calabasas, California. Presumably this is what celebrity families do on their days off: slap on some leggings, put their hair in scrunchies, and head out for Funyuns and $400,000 supercars. We could get into that ourselves, if only we had talent and money. Ke$ha gives us hope that we can overcome those minor details. Although the Bratman-Aguileras didn't...

Breaking: Ashley Greene Is Still In With AudiBelieve it or not, we're pretty deep around here. We have real thoughts and feelings. We marvel at the wonders of the universe.

Christina Aguilera's Audi Driver Knows Where The Bodies Are HiddenHi, Christina Aguilera: You know, back in college, we remember going platinum blond. The fumes were terrible.

Jennifer Lopez Plops Down On Big, Juicy Audi Q7We 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...

Ashley Greene's Audi Q5 Keeps The Twi-Hards (And Us) GuessingOkay, 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...

Okay, can we just say? It must totally suck to be a celebrity. Sure, they get money, fame, hookers, and blow -- and of course, they give us something to write about -- but that is all glitz and glamma worth a total loss of privacy? Take for example this photo of poor LeAnn Rimes. (We use the term "poor" loosely.) She'd just gone shopping at Fred Segal for... something or other, she stepped onto the street, dodged the paparazzi, hopped into her Audi Q5, and promptly rear ended some dude in a Mercedes-Benz E350. It was obviously just a fender bender -- if even that. Take a look at LeAnn's...

2009 Audi Q5 first drive reviewUntil the Lincoln Navigator plowed into existence in the late 1990s, the idea of a luxury sport-utility vehicle was largely limited to the Range Rover. Hideously expensive off-roaders were a perplexing thought: who’d want to wrinkle all that pricey sheetmetal, and get those lambswool carpets...
