Celebrities

We wish we could get excited about Scott Brown*. Yes, his victory was historic. Yes it will mean interesting things in Washington. But for the love of Benji, did the man have to whip out a pickup truck to prove that he's a red-blooded American? Snore. Now, look: we have nothing against pickup...

  On Sunday night, Chrysler's edgy brand manager, Olivier Francois, handed over seven "eco style" Chrysler 300s to the organizers of the Golden Globe Awards. Six were used to schlep special celebs like Meryl Streep (totally VIP), Christina Aguilera (sure, okay), and Felicity Huffman (hmmm). The...

Yes, you read that headline correctly (especially if you jumped right over the "holy" part): in the future, we will all be subjected to more bouts of ridonkulous gearhead hijinks on the big screen. Rumor has it that in the future we will also wear lots of spandex and have robot butlers, but as of...

A Facebook message from Vin Diesel hints that two more Fast & Furious movies are in the works.

You know what, Usher? You're kind of awesome. Not, like, awesome-awesome, but still: we're into you. You've managed to dodge the Kanye ego-bullet, you've avoided name issues like a certain P-Diddy, aka Puff Daddy, aka Piddles, aka Sean John. You have formidable abdominal muscles, and we even like...

Hey, you. Yes, you: the guy who's been in a coma and living under a hubcap since November? You might be surprised to know that General Motors has ended its (purely platonic) relationship with Tiger Woods -- the one whereby Woods received free GM vehicles on loan. It appears the romance officially...

There isn't much to say about Reese Witherspoon's choice in cars. Think about it: Nashville native Reese Witherspoon? Wearing a plaid blouse and a mid-length skirt and ballet flats and Prada shades? Toodling around Brentwood in a Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 in the photo linked below, with a blonde friend...

Every celeb worth her yoga mat is driving an Audi these days, so this bit of news should come as no surprise: today at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, Audi's VP of marketing, Scott Keogh, confirmed that the company will be a major product-placer in the upcoming Iron Man 2 film. Which means that we'll...

Green goddess in a bottle, this is getting old: another celebrity caught cruising the streets of Los Angeles in an Audi. This time, the celebrity in question is none other than former teen heartthrob (and current 22-year-old heartthrob) Zac Efron, best known (a) for his turns in various High School...

Either Justin Timberlake is working overtime, or there's a freak fascination with Audi in Hollywoodland. We've seen countless celebs, celebutantes, and celebutards cruising the streets in various models, and now, for the second day in a row, we've spotted an LA lady climbing into an Audi A5. This...

There are many things to note about the photo linked below: 1) That's Lindsay Lohan. She's vacationing in St. Barts. 2) LiLo is wearing a bikini and heels the same way that other people would wear a dress and heels. Or jeans and and heels. Or a skirt and heels. Or basically anything that IS NOT A...

Is it just us, or did 2009 completely suck? The economy tanked, automakers went bankrupt, celebrities died left and right (and not even the good ones). Ugh, midnight cannot come fast enough. Since early this morning, our crack team of auto journalists/clairvoyants has been drinking tea -- mostly...

Since tomorrow will be a special CelebsAndCars entry, this is technically the last "regular" post of 2009. And although we could've easily gone with the million-dollar feud brewing among the trashy, splashy Teutel family, or the high-speed antics of the equally trashy but less splashy (as Playgirl...

Not so long ago, we were singing Mark Wahlberg's praises. We admired his willingness to live a quiet, boring life with his wife and kids and wished that other celebs would take notes. (Looking at you, Piven.) We thought Wahlberg's black Cadillac Escalade Hybrid summed up the guy perfectly: mostly...

We're just a couple of days away from rear-ending 2010, so like all major media outlets, we thought we'd take a break from real reporting (don't worry: nothing's happening) and look back at some of 2009's notable moments. It was an...interesting year for the auto industry to say the least, and...

Full disclosure: we love Susan Sarandon. Without her, Rocky Horror would've been short an ingenue, and The Hunger would've been missing its key behavioral scientist/vampire lesbian. And of course, how could anyone forget The Banger Sisters? Which, curiously, leads directly into the most recent news...

Dear Personal Assistant of Christina Aguilera (aka Xtina): We have heard that it sucks to be you. Not "you" as in "you, the personal assistant of Christina Aguilera (aka Xtina)", but "you" as in "you, the personal assistant of any former Disney spokeschild". We can only imagine what you must go...

Pocket-sized bisexual famewhore Tila Tequila recently announced that she's carrying her brother's child and that she's marrying girlfriend Casey Johnson, who, as it turns out, is an alleged cat burglar and heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune. Which means that this image of TT splayed...

See Gwen Stefani. (Behind the link, that is.) See Gwen dressed like an almost-normal person.* See Gwen load a stroller into her tastefully understated Range Rover. Load, Gwen, load! See Gwen drive away. Drive, Gwen, drive! See Gwen's rear gate still open like a big-mouthed hollaback girl frozen in...

Elin Nordegren may have kicked Tiger Woods' philandering keester to the curb, but the couple's Buick Enclave remains tucked nice and cozy in her garage. And hell, with two growing kids to schlep around in the Florida heat, can you blame her? It's a good thing she scored that ride before Buick...
