We don't quite know what to do with Ian Ziering. On the one hand, he's a car enthusiast, and he's got a touch of Softcore Green Tech Nerd about him -- both laudable traits in our book. Also, he's kept his shiznit together since the original 90120 was canned in 2000; he hasn't gone crazy, or gotten fat, or super skinny, or held up a liquor store or whatever. Sure, any of those would've been more entertaining, but there's something to be said for being a nice, normal guy. On the other hand, we're not entirely sure Ziering's right for this blog because we're not entirely sure he's a celebrity...

John Travolta's Jaguar XJ8L Stays Tastefully Above The Fray
Say what you will about Scientology. Or Saturday Night Fever. Or Battlefield Earth. Or certain rumors that have dogged John Travolta over the years. Go ahead, say it. We'll wait...

Katy Perry and Her Audi A5 Approaching Good Taste
Katy Perry, we're so on the fence about you. One of the Boys? Pretty delicious confection there. Our editors truly believe the bass line on "I Kissed a Girl" is 20 years ahead of its time. And no doubt, the insanely catchy riff of "Waking up In Vegas" is the new musical earwig, sure to haunt us...

90210's AnnaLynne McCord Stands Tall In A MINI
Full disclosure: we're not big fans of AnnaLynne McCord. In our not-so-humble opinions, she's a little too hungry for both food and attention. Also: the new 90210 is total crap. Not like the 90s version was Merchant Ivory material, but c'mon: would you remake Mork & Mindy? Exactly. That said...

Achtung: Britney's Behind The Wheel Of Her G-Wagen, Y'all
When last we saw Brit-Brit, she was heading home from the pet store with a new bird in tow, waiting patiently by the driver's side door of a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. But for some reason, y'all, we never imagined she actually DROVE the thing. That's some scary stuff right there, I tell you what. P.S...

Emmy Rossum Could Probably Do Better Than A Mercedes-Benz ML
Why hello there, Emmy Rossum! You sure are well-dressed in this photo -- especially to be dating somebody from Counting Crows. Though now that we think about it, Courtney Cox (aka Courtney Cox Arquette) didn't grunge up very much during her journey down that black hole of crap rock, either, and she...

Our reaction to this sad/hilarious photo, with apologies to Paul Laurence Dunbar, Maya Angelou, and Emily Dickinson: I wonder why the caged bird sings for pop tart Britney Spears, E'en though his life may soon by fraught with scandals and with jeers.... Is it because he knows he'll never want for seeds or bugs, Or is he merely whistling at Brit-Brit's fugly Uggs? He could be chortling with glee at someone's camel toe, Or maybe it's that G-Wagen, the ride of every ho. (Is it just us or does it seem Brit just rolled out of bed? Not that the stupid bird would care, now that Target he's fled.)...

WTF: Jamie Kennedy Drives A Bentley Continental GTC?
Dear Jamie Kennedy: Thank you for proving what we already knew: that life isn't fair. If life were fair, you probably wouldn't be driving a Bentley Continental GTC around Los Angeles. (Or anywhere, for that matter.) If life were fair, you probably wouldn't be working as a comedian/actor -- even as...

Christian Bale's BMW 325i Is Kind Of Bumming Us Out
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?...
