All cards on the table: we think Reese Witherspoon is a big ol' slice of awesome. Not that she's fat or anything; when we say "big ol'", we just mean that she seems extremely awesome. She's a study in contrasts: a Southern girl with a tiny bit of a wild streak; pretty and refined, but not opposed...

Somehow, The Bachelorette is still on the air, which probably means that someone is still watching it, which probably means that some people out there know who Ali Fedotowsky is. We are not those people. However, her name shows up a lot in the news feeds, and it's fairly hard to miss, so in our...

Poor Jessica Alba. The girl can't seem to catch a break. Sure, she's been genetically gifted. Sure, she's got a handsome husband and a cute kid. But Good Luck Chuck? The Love Guru? Ouch. Now she's been pulled over by one of Los Angeles' finest. Our powers of telepathy are on the fritz today (damn...

Here is what we've learned today: A) Newt Gingrich is still alive. B) Someone at Esquire thinks he's still relevant. C) In the late 1990s, at the same time Gingrich was raking Bill Clinton over the coals for his cigar-themed indiscretions, lizard man was having his own adulterous smoke breaks with...

There are three things we know for sure: 1. Life sucks. 2. That dude from Jet Blue completely staged his exit (which is not to say it wasn't awesome, though it pales in comparison to Wendy O. Williams' jump from a moving bus). 3. Tila Tequila is the love child of Anna Nicole Smith and Imelda...

Dear Marky Mark: Time is a cruel mistress, isn't she? Always in a rush, always aloof. You stop to tie your shoe, and by the time you look up, she's halfway down the block, ducking into Starbucks for another double-shot cappuccino with soy. (As if she needs more energy, right?) Heck, just look at...

  Hollywood doesn't call them remakes--they euphemize 'em as "reboots" these days. But with this fall's new version of the CBS classic, Hawaii Five-0 is trying to stay as authentic as possible with a raft of new Fords on screen--and at least one old one. CBS may be the only place you'll see a...

Remember that face? It's Tara Reid, the Neve Campbell of her generation. Ah, memories. We haven't heard much from Tara lately, apart from occasional tidbits about her ongoing plastic surgery troubles and certain photos unfit for family-friendly websites like this one (but which can easily be...

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...

Before we interviewed Vanilla Ice (aka Robert Van Winkle) earlier this year, we'd written the guy off as a one-hit wonder and year-round D-lister. But over the course of our chat, we changed our minds. He seemed really down to earth -- the kind of guy who'd had a moment of notoriety, milked it for...

It's the end of July, which means that summer is quickly coming to a close, which leaves us feeling a little wistful -- a little introspective. And so, we're doing some soul-searching, asking questions of ourselves we might not ordinarily ask. Such as: 1. Why do we watch reality television? 2. More...

Back in March, Tesla launched the Odyssey of Pioneers: a 22,000 mile, round-the-world tour of its all-electric Roadster, specially tricked out by Tesla's brand partner, watchmaker TAG Heuer. The fun began in Switzerland, then moved across Europe to India, China, and Japan. Now, the TAG Heuer Tesla...

If you're a baseball fan and a car nut, you might want to book your tickets for next month's Mecum Monterey Auction: superstar slugger Reggie Jackson is sending not one, not two, but 15 cars to the block. In a press release, the folks at Mecum highlight Jackson's prized 1969 ZL1 Chevrolet Camaro --...

Dear Ice-T: Yes, you have to wear a seatbelt, even though you cart around your own set of airbags. (Tell Coco we said "hi"!) xoxo Your Friends at CelebsAndCars.com P.S. Is it ironic that you and Coco were pulled over shortly after competing in a rally sponsored by Amp energy drinks? Was that a...

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz both appeared on last night's episode of Top Gear in the U.K. According to reports, the duo were in Britain on a junket for Knight and Day, and while there, they each made laps in the show's Reasonably Priced Car -- these days, a Kia cee'd. We haven't bittorrented...

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard of Justin Bieber. Unless you're under 21, though, you probably can't hum one of his tunes. That could be because you're out of touch with The Kids, or possibly because Bieber is from another planet (metaphorically speaking). Seriously...

Updated: see below During an interview with Elon Musk in May of 2009, David Letterman dissed the Chevrolet Volt. Shortly thereafter, Letterman remembered where his ad dollars come from and apologized, inviting spunky GM spokesmodel Bob Lutz to talk about the much-hyped hybrid on the show. In the...

  Today's car ads are hip and sophisticated--they know what they're doing when it comes to attracting members of Generation Y. But that hasn't always been the case. Take a look at this ad for the new Fiesta and you will see what I am talking about. Here, Ford's used pop art to show off the...

It's a good thing January Jones (allegedly) dodged that (alleged) DUI a couple of weeks ago. Otherwise, she and maybekindasorta current boyfriend Jason Sudeikis would've had to take a cab on their most recent date/non-date to a friend's birthday party. Well, unless Jason has a driver's license. And...

And yea, it came to pass in the year of our Lord and Lady Gaga 2010 that Manny "Poopy Pants" Ramirez, multiple Silver Slugger and erstwhile doper, did solemnly and graciously sacrifice his prized 1994 Porsche 911 to eBay, with proceeds divided, like the waters of the great Red Sea, to charities of...
