  • Dennis Singletary

    We tend to think that company spokespeople get a better deal in showrooms than the rest of us. For example, GM gave Tiger Woods a free ride -- many of them, in fact -- when he was Buick's shill. And although we can't say for sure, we have to believe that Mike Rowe gets more than a firm handshake when he wanders into his local Ford dealership. But such wasn't the case for actor Dennis Singletary, who stars in a national commercial for Honda's "Really Big Deal" sales event. Singletary recently visited his local Honda dealership in LA to buy a 2011 Civic sedan and told the salesperson that he...

  • 2011 Gumball 3000 Rally

    We’ve always been fans of the Gumball concept here at MotorAuthority--driving fast cars across countries while hanging out with celebrities and generally having a good time. In fact, we even got in on the action at the similar Fireball Run right here in the States last year, but the Gumball is the original and still the best. The long wait is now over for Gumball 3000 fans around the world as the official route for this year’s rally has been announced. The starting point will be at Covent Garden in London on Thursday May 26. Participants will then travel some 3,000 miles, visiting...

  • 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8
    2011 Chrysler 300S: Powered By Dr. Dre

    While stock Chrysler 300 sedans ride with V-6 or HEMI power, and the new 2012 SRT8 storms along with 465 hp, there's only one new Chrysler powered by rap. At the 2011 New York auto show, Chrysler's peeling back the covers from its new 300S, which strips off the chrome and wood and layers in some...

  • 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder
    Top Gear’s Richard Hammond Buys Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder, Wife Gets Fiat 500

    It’s always interesting to see what cars the people who get to drive virtually everything buys for their own personal collections. And the hosts of Top Gear--Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond--have probably driven the most varied assortment of autos: Everything from high-end...

    Charlie Sheen Shifts To An Even Smaller Screen -- As An App Developer

    Like the streets of his beloved Hollywood Hills, Charlie Sheen's life is full of twists and turns.

But Sheen's recent meltdown gave him the opportunity to reinvent himself --...

  • Auctioneers John and Rohn Nelson with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
    Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Causes Four-Car Pile-Up: Can He Get It Fixed?

    Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia is known for being a little maverick-y. Over the course of his career, he's developed a reputation as a very smart, highly opinionated guy who's not afraid to move at his own pace. That can serve him well in the courtroom, but it didn't do much for Scalia...

  • Kate Middleton

    Kate Middleton will arrive at Westminster Abbey for her April 29 wedding in the very same 1977 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI that was recently attacked by protesters angry with Prince Chuckles and Camilla. And she'll leave the ceremony in the same wedding carriage that carted the late Princess Diana off to her rocky royal marriage. As omens go, that's like crossing the path of a black cat that's treading the cracks of a broken mirror underneath a ladder on Friday the 13th during a performance of Macbeth starring the cast of Poltergeist. So, you know, good luck with that, Katie. The Rolls, as you...

  • Elizabeth Taylor
    Video: Remembering Elizabeth Taylor And Her Sunbeam Alpine

    As a celebrity blog, it would be hard to ignore the death of one of the biggest stars of the 20th century -- and we're not: Elizabeth Taylor has died at the age of 79. Millennials and younger folk may not know much of Taylor. By the time they were born, she was best known as a friend and defender...

  • Oprah Winfrey's 1996 Bentley Azure
    Oprah Winfrey's 1996 Bentley Azure Sells On eBay For $68,000

    It's hard to think about Oprah Winfrey and motor vehicles without hearing THAT voice. You know the one: "And YOU get a car! And YOU get a car! And YOU get to pay tax on that car!" Sadly, in this case, you're NOT getting a car -- not Oprah's car, anyway -- unless you happen to be the mystery bidder...

  • Tom Stuker
    Car Sales Guru Tom Stuker Gets A Reality Show On Spike TV

    Tom Stuker may be the most famous person you've never heard of -- unless, of course, you're in auto sales. Stuker is to car dealerships as Tabatha Coffey is to hair salons: a highly sought-after consultant with the plainspoken, proven power to get stalled businesses moving again. Now, Stuker may be...

  • Stefano Langone
    American Idol's Stefano Langone, Nearly Killed By Drunk Driver, Has DUI Of His Own

    We're not going to sit here and pretend to hang on every word that drops from the mouths of American Idol contestants. We're not even going to pretend that we've watched a full episode of the show. But when it comes to competitors hiding portions of their past...well, we're all ears. During his...

  • Keira Knightley rides a Ducati for Chanel

    Et alors, qu'est-ce que c'est? Why, it appears to be actress, model, and object of Jeremy Clarkson's undying affection, Ms. Keira Knightley, perched atop a Ducati in Paris' Place de la Concorde. But you know, we're just guessing. At first glance, we thought Keira might be going through some sort of personal crisis, or perhaps angling for George Clooney's affection. (You know the Cloonster's love of women and hogs.) But then we noticed the cameras and the light reflectors and -- biggest tip-off of all -- the way that the bike is strapped to a rig, making it kind of like the world's coolest...

  • Jewel
    Jewel Is Alive And Well, Thanks To Her Cadillac SRX

    We haven't heard much from Jewel in a while, and many of us were beginning to think that she might've headed off to a retirement Vanagon somewhere in Alaska, bringing her chapter in American pop music (and her brief footnote in American poetry) to an end. But now we know that Jewel is still alive...

  • Guy Fieri
    Cat Burglars Steal Guy Fieri's 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo

    Guy Fieri: chef, TV personality, bona fide gearhead, consummate bro, and now, sadly, victim of supercar theft. As we understand it, Fieri's prized 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo was sitting at a Lambo dealership in San Fransisco, California early Tuesday morning, when a thief climbed onto the roof of...

    Phillies Pitcher J.C. Romero's Porsche Panamera Stolen

    So you've spent over a decade the big leagues, you're a reliever for the Phillies, and you arrived at spring training camp in a $190,000 2011 Porsche Panamera Turbo. Life is good, right? It is until your car gets stolen from a local shop. Unfortunately for J.C. Romero, that's exactly what happened...

  • Christina Aguilera
    Christina Aguilera Arrested For Public Drunkenness, We Blame Burlesque

    Christina Aguilera always seemed like the good girl (well, you know, as good as any girl can be in a corset and six-inch Louboutins). While her comrade, Britney, was busy getting married and unmarried and shaved bald, Christina was recording solos and duets and not wedding her backup dancers. But...
