Soccer star David Beckham recently picked up a new car to add to his ever-growing fleet. And just what did the British national take home? Why, a custom-painted 2011 Camaro, of course. Forget British Racing Green--this Camaro has a custom matte black paint job. Other details, such as engine and...

Hollywood is so fickle. One minute, Neve Campbell is all the rage, and the next thing you know, she's doing guest spots on Medium. (Yes, apparently it's still on.) The same rules apply to cars. Not so long ago, Priuses (or Prii) were all the rage; now, they're yesterday's news, upstaged by the...

In case you haven't been paying attention, this Sunday is the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony, and it promises to be, well...interesting. The organizers have hired two young hosts, one of whom still lives on the fringes of superstardom and neither of whom is a comedian. In a bid to draw back younger...

Jennifer Aniston dropped by The View several days ago, and the interweb has been in a minor tizzy every since. Not because of anything she said, of course; Aniston isnt' exactly the kind to raise eyebrows with wacko pronouncements. (You want that, you book Jennifer Love Hewitt. Even better...

File this in the "life just isn’t fair” pile--millionaire heiress and socialite Paris Hilton has received a brand new 2012 Lexus LFA for her upcoming 30th birthday from new boyfriend Cy Waits. Of course, this was on top of what was already an extravagant day of gifts on Monday’s...

Getting your hands on a Porsche Carrera GT is hard enough considering only around 1,200 cars were ever built and only half of these were sold in the U.S. So imagine how rare it would be to come across a celebrity-owned example of one of these rare beauties. Well, believe it or not, comedian and...

James Bond fans know a lot about 007's cars. That's because they're often as integral to Bond films as the ubiquitous Bond Girls. Over time, Mr. Bond has been associated with a number of high-end rides. Readers of the Ian Fleming novels that brought 007 to life know that the world's most famous spy...

There's plenty of room for debate about Super Bowl XLV -- especially where commercials are concerned. But we can say three things with absolute certainty: (1) the Packers won, (2) their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, was named the game's most valuable player, and (3) as a reward, Rodgers received a...

While Mercedes-Benz may have featured Sean P. Diddy Combs in its Super Bowl XLV ad, Chrysler has called on fellow hip hop idol Eminem to star in its own ad. The cameo is fitting given Eminem’s Detroit roots, a common background Chrysler is proud to express and one that ties with the...

Not so long ago, Kenny G was a major threat to the civilized world. Sleepy, innocuous notes rolled out of his saxophone and onto the world's airwaves, lulling us all into a false sense of comfort and security. Things could've gone terribly wrong, but Kenny's unearthly talent was, in fact, his own...

"Oh, it's an honor just to be nominated." That's what they say on Oscar night, all the nominees in their borrowed finery, shuffling past the paparazzi and self-proclaimed fashion police. (Seriously, why does Ryan Seacrest get to comment on anyone's outfit?) But deep inside, we know they're nervous...

Between the shortened holiday weekend and the lingering afterglow of the Detroit Auto Show, we haven't had gobs of time (or energy) to follow up on most of the items in the Celebs And Cars inbox -- at least not in detail. And so, in flippant Friday fashion, we present a quick rundown of the major...

The Chevrolet Camaro and American rock star Kid Rock are perhaps two of the more well-known symbols of Detroit, and in honor of the musician's 40th birthday, he was given a brand-new Camaro SS. NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson did the honors, presenting the "Cowboy" with a black SS with black wheels...

David Beckham seems like a genuinely nice guy. In the articles and interviews we've read, he's come across as intelligent, affable, and not too full of himself -- no small feat, considering that most soccer fans and advertising directors think he's a demigod. We don't fully understand Beck's...

An unnamed buyer has just dropped $217,100 on a used 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet and, to make matters worse, the car was extensively modified. Normally, this would seem a ridiculous amount to pay for such a vehicle but in this case the car was previously owned by none other than soccer star...

Pundits say that the economy is on the mend and that customers want to spend. (Sadly, they don't often say it in rhyme.) But while the recession may be behind us, there's still something not-quite-right about this year's Detroit Auto Show. Sure, we've seen fog machines and the mandatory strobe...

It's been a busy week on the news feeds -- thanks in part to the many, many gizmos dropping trou at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. With gadgets of every shape and size making their world debuts, most celebrities (apart from Lady Gaga) have had a hard time fighting their way into the...

Now that the confetti has settled (and the stomachs, too), it's time to get down to serious business: psychic predictions for the coming year. We brewed ourselves a pot of coffee, blended in the dregs from the vuvuzela that doubled as a champagne flute on Friday night, and chugged it with a couple...

It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone. It seems like just yesterday we were writing about Lindsay Lohan's trip to rehab, and now, we're writing about...well, Lindsay Lohan's return to rehab. There's something comforting about that consistency, don't you think? And so, in the...

Usually things slow down a bit at this time of year, but not when it comes to celebs and their fondness for cars. Over the next few days, we expect to hear about starlets buying expensive rides for their honeys (and vice versa) but for now, in addition to the pieces you've already seen about...
