Okay, okay: we owe you an apology. That post from yesterday? The one about Snooki from Jersey Shore? That was completely cruel and uncalled for. Half of you probably didn't even know who Snooki was when you clicked through from Twitter or Facebook or whatever. How could you have known what lay on the other side of the link? It must've come as a terrible shock. To make up for shoving an oversexed Oompah-Loompah in your virtual faces, we're doing some penance today by showing you one of the world's most beautiful cars: the Bugatti Veyron. No, it's not everyone's cut of tea, and owning one is...

In An Alternate Universe, Snooki Helps Car Dealership Help HaitiSo here's the deal: everyone's least favorite pudgy munchkin (not to be confused with Tila Tequila, who is many things, but not pudgy) somehow landed an appearance at a used car dealership in Easton, Pennsylvania over the weekend. Yes, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was stationed at Star’s Pre-Owned...

Scott Brown And His Predictable But Effective 2005 GMC CanyonWe 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...

Chrysler 300 Signed By 300+ Celebs And Maggie GyllenhaalOn 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...

Holy Crap: Vin Diesel Hints At Fast & Furious 5 & 6Yes, 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...

The Fast And The Furious 5 and 6 In The Works?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 your music. However, we think that maybe you have enough money from your music and endorsements and such that you can perhaps invest in a safety deposit box and not leave "five watches, three necklaces, two rings and six bracelets valued at $1 million as well as a Louis Vuitton garment bag worth...

It's Friday. Here's Cloris Leachman With A Lexus IS 250You know what? It's been a long week. Between the river of news pouring out of Detroit and the unbearably cold winter temps, it's a miracle we're alive. So while we could sit here and feign interest in Mark Walhberg's oilwell-cum-Porsche cabriolet, we've already covered the guy twice in the past...

General Motors Tanks TigerHey, 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...

Reese Witherspoon Ups The Class In Her Mercedes-Benz GLKThere 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...

Audi To Underwrite Iron Man 2 (Ferrous Boogaloo)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...

Zac Efron's Audi A5: Like HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, This Is Getting OldGreen 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 time, it's none other than Jennifer Garner, devoted lifepartner to Ben Affleck. (We're sorry for the unflattering angle. We're sure she is, too.) As you can plainly see, being Baffleck's bedmate has its drawbacks. While he's getting baked on the Jennifer Convertible (note to self: use that for a...

Everyone is in St. Barts, including UsherIt's official: every celebrity worth his/her swag bag is vacationing in St. Barts. Yesterday, we spotted Lindsay Lohan flashing her badonkadonk to 95% of the island's population while shopping with George Lucas and riding shotgun in a Suzuki Jimmy. We've also spied Orlando Bloom, Miranda Kerr...

Lindsay Lohan Cruises St. Barts In A Suzuki JimmyThere 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...

2010 Celebrity Car Predictions: Yep, We're Totally PsychicIs 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...

Scott Caan And His Best Buddy In A Vintage Ford TruckSince 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...

Mark Wahlberg Straddles The Line (Again) In A Bentley AzureNot 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 we've seen a lot of changes, both in the U.S. and abroad. Some of the losses have been painful, but in the end, we're hopeful that they'll spur growth and development down the line. And if not, we'll have enjoyed kicking them around in our spare time. By the way: we'd planned on making an Oscar-style...

Nicole Kidman (And Her Face) Go Picnicking In An Audi A6Ladies and gentlemen, Audi has struck again: since JT came onboard, it seems like every other celebrity -- at least the real ones -- has been spotted tooling around in one Audi model or another. (For reasons yet unknown, fake celebs seem smitten with Bentleys and BMWs.) The latest example: Nicole...

Cougarwatch: Susan Sarandon Hooks Up With Auto Entrepreneur's SonFull 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...

Job Opening: Driver/Personal Assistant to Christina AguileraDear 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...

Tila Tequila Drives A BMW 335i Under The Influence (Of Crazy Pills)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...

Gwen Stefani's Range Rover: Open To Anything, AnyoneSee 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...
