You know what, Tobey Maguire? We respect you. No, seriously: we do. For real. For starters, you had the good sense and decency to bail on a franchise when you decided that you couldn't bring anything new to it. Or maybe it was because they couldn't bring more dough to you. Or perhaps because you...

The A-Team opens on June 11, and just to make sure that its target audience of 35 - 50-year-old men (aka, The People Old Enough to Remember Mr. T) know the film is en route, several of the cast appeared on the racetrack in Charlotte over the Memorial Day weekend to make a lap before the NASCAR...

(To get yourself into this scene, follow the link below.) MARIAH: Looka here: I said you'd best find us a Mickey D's, and you'd best do it now. NICK: Aw, c'mon, baby. Ain't none of my homeboys ever seen a Rolls-Royce, much less a Phantom Drophead Coupe. MARIAH: It's "Coupé", dummy. NICK...

Remember when Jesse James was awesome? When he and Sandra Bullock were like the couple everyone wanted at their holiday key party? Oh, how times change. Now, Jesse James is a philandering skank-magnet and alleged white supremacist, who's taken the really brave, really courageous step of blaming his...

Last year, Heidi Montag gave her new husband, whatshisname, a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. And for some reason the world cared. Apparently the guy still owns it, because behind the link we see la Montag perched against its hood in a near life-like pose, in so far as any 23-year-old who's undergone at...

We've seen her slithering from a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, we've seen her putting gas into a complete stranger's Ford Expedition, and elsewhere on the interweb, we've watched her scoot about town in various states of undress. But until today, our favorite photo of Paris Hilton was the one of her...

Here in America, we think of Brits as comparatively calm and even-keeled -- the kind who'll offer you a pleasant "Good day, sir!" as you board a lifeboat while they stand shivering on the deck of the Titanic. But at least one of our friends from Albion seems to be a little cuckoo for Cocoa-Puffs...

Are you sitting down? You should be sitting down. Because what we are about to tell you will. Rock. Your. World. Megan Fox has been canned from Transformers 3: Electric Boogaloo. OHNOES!!!1!! (Is LOLspeak still funny? Probably not, but just in case.) Yes, Fox's agent has confirmed that the star of...

Look, we like kids as much as any other bachelor (priests excluded), but there should probably be some sort of law about acceptable names for infants. Things began sliding off the rails 100+ years ago with the birth of Ima Hogg (who, contrary to popular belief, did not have a sister named Ura)...

UPDATED: see below for the original image There are lots of jokes floating around the High Gear Media offices right now -- most involving (a) Charlize Theron climbing into a backseat alone, (b) her heretofore unknown Brazilian heritage, or (c) some variation on the "I can see my house from here"...

Well, okay, that headline is a little misleading: Jim probably didn't dump Jenny for a roadster. However, McCarthy and the Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG do share some striking similarities: 1. Their names both start with the letter "M". (Totally striking.) 2. They're both jaw-droppingly hot. 3. They've...

We'd planned to write a story about Cameron Diaz being shuttled home in a black Cadillac Escalade after a late-night cuddle session with Alex Rodriguez. But as usual, C-Di and A-Rod put us to sleep, and when we woke up, our colleagues at Jalopnik had dug up something far more invigorating: news...

Normally, we write in the Royal We around here, but today I'm breaking that rule because I'm going to say something kind of scandalous, and I don't want to bring any of my upstanding colleagues down with me. Not that many of 'em are standing up at this point in the day, but you know: figure of...

Dear Mr. Hanks: Just to be clear, we're not morally opposed to the Chevrolet Tahoe. They are driven by our friends, neighbors, and even family members. (Well, distant family members.) They are an important patch of beige in the crazy quilt of American culture -- bland, perhaps, but they allow every...

William Shatner was not always the hep-cat daddy-o he is today. Sure, he was a hot property in the 1960s, during the original run of Star Trek, but then the series was canceled, and there was that "Rocket Man" thing, and the $20,000 Pyramid, and before you knew it -- bam -- Shatner was the Erkel of...

Dear Mr. LaBeouf: Clearly we have underestimated you. When you first appeared on the celebrity scene, we assumed that you were the next Josh Hartnett: young and handsome, but with limited long-term prospects. The damning evidence? Your drinking habits, and your personal brand of religion. Your...

You know, we could do with a break from supercars -- particularly the Audi R8. Between Audi's well-caffeinated publicity team and the battalion of PR warriors manning the barricades at Paramount Pictures, we can't turn on a freakin' toaster without seeing an ad for Iron Man 2 or its sleek, cabrio...

  We know, we know: another piece on the Audi R8? Clearly, we are slaves to the Hollywood PR machine -- or in this case, the one rumbling out of Ingolstadt. But whatever: at least this promotion is more interesting than the straight-up Iron Man 2 tie-in driving Audi's TV ads. This time around...

We get weird things in the mail: love letters, bomb threats, talcum powder that's pretending to be anthrax, except it smells like diaper rash, so, you know, FAIL. We also get press releases. Press releases are frequently dull, occasionally informative, and nine times out of ten, hilarious. But one...

So let's pretend you're an auto brand -- one that used to project swanky, sexy sophistication, but now the average age of your customers is 72. Now let's pretend that you've finally booted your superstar golphilanderer to the curb, thus freeing up money for other promotions, which have slowly been...
