If you keep up with Hollywood and/or the car scene, chances are pretty good that you're aware of the whole "Electric cars are gay" conflamma surrounding Ron Howard's new film, The Dilemma. But just in case you've been out of the loop, here's what you need to know: (a) there's a new movie called The...

Last time we saw Snoop Dogg, he was introducing Larry King to his very mellow, very yellow 1967 Pontiac Parisienne convertible. But as many people know -- and many more should -- yellow is a tricky color to pull off, so for his wife's 35th birthday party, Snoop played it safe: he changed the color...

You'd think there's be more shenanigans afoot in the celeb world, what with Halloween weekend approaching. But no, our feed reader is quiet, and our appeal to Brit-Brit and Lilo clearly fell on deaf ears. Or unconscious ears. Take your pick. But all isn't lost. Surely you don't think we'd leave you...

On Wednesday, we told you about Volkswagen's "See Film Differently" film project. Now Hyundai has decided to align itself with movie buffs by sponsoring three film screenings called Glamour Reel Moments. Glamour Reel Moments is an ongoing project of Glamour magazine, and over five years, it's given...

Would you tune in to NASCAR, not on Sunday race day, but on "Must-See TV?" A report out of Hollywood suggests NASCAR is lending its drama to NBC for "The Crew," a new drama that unfolds with the racing series as a backdrop. From the pen that brought you the short-lived superfriends drama Heroes...

Over the next 12 months, Land Rover will launch an all-out offensive to get its new Range Rover Evoque front and center of the cool kids. Borrowing some marketing techniques from Land Rover's former parent company, Ford, as well as General Motors, the Evoque is being handed over to 30+ "global...

Poor Adriana Lima. We mean that in the metaphorical sense, obviously. Lima is one of the top-earning supermodels in the world, outpaced only by such overachievers as the indominable Heidi Klum. Being poor isn't on Lima's to-do list. No, when we say "poor Adriana Lima" we mean, "that poor girl...

Chrysler's marketing team has had some hits and some misses over the past year. For a while, Olivier Francois & Co. ran nothing but quirky branding campaigns, featuring the likes of Mikhail Gorbachev and Nelson Mandela cruising in Chrysler vehicles. That made dealers confused and mad, but...

Once one of the most feared linebackers in the NFL, Junior Seau is now tackling a different kind of enemy. Arrested on suspicion of domestic violence this morning, he was then released and promptly drove his Cadillac Escalade off a cliff. Seau was injured, but survived. Further details are...

So, apparently, there is a Princess Beatrice. And apparently, she's fifth in line to the British throne. We have already learned so much more than we usually do on Mondays. But wait, there's more: we now know that Beatrice drives a BMW 1-series. Or rather: drove, since the poor German coupe was...

In January of 2011, Sony will release The Green Hornet, starring a leaner, meaner Seth Rogen and one very fine Chrysler Imperial that is not so different from the one that Jon Hamm drove on Mad Men, except Seth's has guns. Big ones. If you're familiar with the Green Hornet storyline, you know...

You know what? We are not on top of everything. For example, we just found out that Selma Blair and Neve Campbell are different people. And apparently, the Olsen Twins can't feel one another's pain. And, pull tabs on sodas? WHERE DID THEY GO YOU GUYS? Also, according to our colleagues at Celebrity...

Mazda has always been a slightly quirky brand -- just offbeat enough to develop a community of rabid fans. So it's fitting that the automaker would choose to sponsor a nationwide tour for the equally quirky musician Mayer Hawthorne. If you don't know about Hawthorne (nee Andrew Mayer Cohen), you...

We have a theory, and the theory is this: reality shows make people crazy. Of course, some people have a head start. Like that nutjob, Seth Caro, from Just Desserts -- the dude who lost it over some ridonk paper cups? He was good length or two ahead of the crazy train. Other people go loopy after...

Charity auctions are curious things. Some of the goods are what you'd expect: artwork, jewelry, Botox gift certificates. But when celebrities get involved, the Wow Factor can shoot through the roof. Or not. We once saw Gregory Hines auction off a tap lesson for one lucky bidder and three of her...

As we understand it, Andy Rooney is still alive. We haven't personally verified those shocking allegations, but like certain terrorist masterminds we could mention, Rooney appears on TV at regular intervals, and he references enough current events to make us think he's still breathing. Andy Rooney...

Some actors have always seemed older than they really are. Bea Arthur, for example: she was born 40. Bob Hoskins, too. And then there's 48-year-old John Slattery, whose characters always seems at least a decade older than he is. Say what you will about Mad Men, but you can't deny Slattery's...

We told you that Juliette Lewis had been tapped to perform at the Range Rover Evoque launch party during the 2010 Paris Auto Show. You didn't believe us. "Juliette Lewis?" you asked. "Why not Joseph Gordon-Levitt? He's got a band. Last we heard, Keanu had one, too." But do they possess the power of...

What began life as the LRX concept is now official: the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is headed for production, after a world debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. The crossover vehicle takes the heritage of Land Rover's rugged off-roaders and translates it to compact, two-door size. The $45,000...

Fifty-five years ago, on September 30, 1955, Hollywood heartthrob and devoted gearhead James Dean was en route to a car race in Salinas, California. He was driving his beloved Porsche 550 Spyder, with mechanic Rolf Wuetherich in the passenger's seat. Just outside Cholame, California, a Ford Custom...
