Whitney Houston, you have a problem. The problem is this: most of us stopped caring about you during the second Clinton administration. We watched from a distance as you went down the stony end, did the crack thing, the meth thing, the whatever-you-could-get-over-the-counter thing, and, of course, the Bobby Brown thing -- the ENDLESS Bobby Brown thing. As if paying attention to you weren't bad enough, you were always towing around that New Edition washout and insisting that, oh, he's really a good guy, oh he's really a talented artist. And you made people believe you. Well you, madam, are a...

Video: Iron Man 2 Looks Like Transformers 2 -- But, You Know, GoodWith the Academy Awards less than 24 hours behind us, there's a lot we could talk about today --- which stars showed up in which cars, which movies about cars did well, which documentary about GM got shafted. But no. Today, there's a different ringing in our ears, and it's not the the Oscar buzz...

Elin Nordegren Likes Old ThingsBeing a thin, blond, Swedish model isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sure, it'll get you noticed. Sure, it'll get you jobs, dates, and a big hunk of wedding ring from the world's most famous golfer. But once you cross over to the dark side of 30, things change, man. You may still look good in a...

Kellan Lutz Pumps An Audi A5, Or, When Will Twilight Fade To Black?Remember when we spotted Kellan Lutz scooting around town in an Infiniti G35? Remember how impressed we were that he hadn't fallen in with the G-Wagen crowd, or the Bentley crowd, or the SLK crowd? Well, we have some bad news: he's fallen in with the Audi crowd, which is, as everyone knows, the new...

Jennifer Aniston Has Some Italian In Her (Note: Not Vince Vaughn)Nine things Jennifer Aniston could be saying as she drives a sweet but predictable (how appropriate) Bentley Continental GT through the crowded streets of Los Angeles, from the link below: 1) What, you think I can't afford a Bentley? That Ferris Bueller sitcom is still in syndication, ya know. 2)...

Miley Cyrus Is Still Driving (Us Crazy)First, the good news. For starters, it appears from the link below that Miley Cyrus has learned to park in spots not reserved for the disabled. Score one for the ADA. Also: she's ditched her Toyota Prius for a 2010 Mercedes-Benz GL450. No, the 450 doesn't get the kind of fuel efficiency that the...

What up, y'all! It's me, your ol' Brit-Brit! I know how y'all like to see me drive around in my Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen and all, and I know how much you like to call it my P-Wagen, 'cause that joke just never gets old, now does it?. But as per my recent agreement with Lil' Brit -- that's what I call the real me, the one inside: Lil' Brit -- and to make my lawyers stop naggin' me about wills and jail and dependencies and dependents, I have decided to let my agent/boyfriend Jason Trawick get behind the wheel today. For real, y'all: I love it when he does that. Don't you worry, though: I am still...

Peter Facinelli + Toyota Prius + Apple iPhone = We Are Not AmusedDear Peter Facinelli: We will not beat around the bush. We will not dilly-dally. We will not digress. We will not mince words. We will get straight to the point. We will shoot from the hip. You, sir, have disappointed us. In case you haven't noticed, Mr. Facinelli, you are driving a Toyota Prius in...

Breaking: Ice Skater Evan Lysacek Makes Enough Dough To Buy An Aston MartinClearly, we are in the wrong profession. At some point, we were told, "Oh, yeah: writers make bank. You will totally do awesome if you string together words for a living." It made sense at the time, but several years and numerous credit reports later, we're less convinced. On the other hand, if we...

ScarJo Mad! ScarJo Smash (A Lincoln Continental)!HELLO, PEOPLE OF EARTH: I am Scarlett Johansson, and yes, I am stunning. Thank you for noticing. (Never mind that I totally lifted my cat-eyes and my up-do from Deneuve circa The Hunger. Like, who would know that? Who was even born then? Old people with their complaining, that's who.) As I was...

Ford's Valiant Warriors In Pink Unable To Rescue Valentine's DayWe admit, we were a little disappointed to learn that Ford hasn't contributed very heavily to the relief efforts in Haiti. You'd think that the one automaker in Detroit that didn't recently file for bankruptcy might be able to cough up more than two small trucks and $50,000 in matching funds. Hell...

Buy This 1988 Honda CRX And Get A Piece Of Renee ZellwegerHave you ever wanted a piece of Renee Zellweger? We're kidding, we're kidding: no one would want that. But someone might want her 1988 Honda CRX, which is now for sale on eBay. If you're that special someone, get cracking: the auction ends this Saturday, February 21, at 7:02pm, PST. If we're...

Last summer, rehab junkie Mischa Barton was seen stumbling out of a minivan, sucking on a cigarette almost as desperately as she subsequently sucked the joy out of Ashton Kutcher's primetime flop, The Beautiful Life: TBL. (We kid, we kid: there was no joy to suck from The Beautiful Life in the first place.) But this? This is so much better: Mischa puffing on joint* while cruising the streets of LA in a vintage Cadillac convertible (follow the link). According to reports, this comes after hours of Barton chatting on her cell behind the wheel, which is technically more illegal than smoking pot...

Naomi Campbell Assumes The Lotus (Evora) Position For HaitiOkay, this is a little confusing, so pay attention: Lotus has designed a special-edition Evora. Only eight will be produced. Lotus asked supermodel Naomi Campbell to be involved in the design of the car, presumably because these days, you need some kind of celebrity attached to everything, right?...

Gerard Butler Gives Us The 'Atsa Matta You?' Beside His Range RoverPossible reasons that Gerard Butler is giving us the "atsa matta you" face: A) Because after a while, the paparazzi are just plain irritating. ("Dude, I was basically naked for 90% of 300. What more do you want to see?") B) Because he understands that, as a B+ celeb, we expect better from him than...

Ryan Gosling Tapped To DRIVEActor, singer, dancer, and former Mouseketeer Ryan Gosling hasn't been cranking out many movies lately. Apparently, he's been spending a lot of time in the studio with his band Dead Man's Bones. Which is a shame, because while Dead Man's Bones are really awesome cookies, they are less awesome in...

Kellan Lutz Strikes Jaunty Pose Beside An Aston Martin Rapide. We're Confused.So there was this party at the home of Michael Bay. You know, the guy who directed the classic Playboy Video Centerfold: Kerri Kendall (and those Transformers movies too, we suppose)? The same Michael Bay who cleverly disguised his casting couch as a car wash? Him. Anyway, there was a party at...

Charlie Sheen's Mercedes Follows His Career Path To Bottom Of RavineWell, this doesn't sound suspicious AT ALL: A car that plunged down the side of Mulholland Drive on Friday morning is owned by actor Charlie Sheen, who reported the vehicle stolen, authorities said. Sheen called police about 5:15 a.m. to report a possible burglar on the premises of his Sherman Oaks...

Sylvester Stallone: Ayyyyy! Jason Statham: Oi! How's it hangin', Sly? Stallone: Ayyyyy! Statham: You ever eaten at this restaurant before? This Ciccone's place? (Looking over his shoulder) Hey, you don't think it's owned by Madonna, do you? Stallone: Ayyyyy! Statham: 'Cause that would NOT be cool. Dude, have you seen her lately? We used to hang out when I was shooting Snatch, when she and Guy Ritchie were together. Back in the day, even after that Playboy shoot with the fuzzy armpits, my mates and I were all like, "Damn, I would wreck that!" (but you know, with more of a British accent). Now...

Will.i.am Drives His Bentley Continental To A Terrible, Terrible PlaceYes, that appears to be will.i.am motoring around in his 2007 Bentley Continental GT Limited Edition, in the photo linked below. There are pros and cons here. 1) Pro: the Continental is a beautiful piece of machinery. 2) Con: the Continental gets terrible gas mileage. 3) Pro: will.i.am is wealthy...

Justin Timberlake Bats For The Other Team In 'The Social Network'No, gentle reader, your eyes do not deceive you, if you follow the link below: that is, in fact, the one and only Justin Timberlake -- Audi's officially credentialed brand ambassador -- behind the wheel of a Cadillac Escalade. See Jesse Eisenberg's "what you talkin' 'bout, Willis" expression?...

Chris Pine Gets Our Attention With A Honda S2000We didn't see the last Star Trek film. (You know: the one they just called Star Trek?) We didn't see Smokin' Aces, either. Or The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. (Especially not that.) Come to think of it, we're not entirely sure we've seen Chris Pine in any movie at any time in our lives...

Elderly Woman Takes A Swipe At Renee Zellweger's Toyota PriusBefore we go any further, ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured: BRADLEY COOPER IS FINE. We repeat: BRADLEY COOPER IS ALIVE AND UNSCATHED IN HOLLYWOOD TONIGHT. Okay, on with the story: once upon a time, people disliked Renee Zellweger because she's talented, cute, and scores good movie roles...

Octomom + Toyota Sienna = World's Worst Juvenile PunThe picture we're linking to represents an apotheosis of sorts: something that the staff of CelebsAndCars have been anticipating for a long, long time. See that lady with the fake breasts, lips, and hair color? That's Nadya Suleman. She wasn't content with the uterus she'd grown up with, so she had...
