As you might've guessed from the photo at left, Spanish automaker SEAT is underwriting Shakira's next European tour. Moreover, SEAT is planning "to enter into close collaboration with the Barefoot Foundation", which was founded by Shakira to provide education to children living in poverty. Exactly what's meant by "close collaboration" isn't sure, but we're assuming it means some kind of cash contribution. So Shakira gets a sponsor, SEAT gets publicity, and poor children get an education? How the hell are we supposed to snark on that? Feh: Thursdays. P.S. Yes, we know that's a terrible...

Today In Politics: Justin Timberlake Is Audi's AmbassadorRemember last week when we spotted Jennifer "Coco" Lopez sliding her superstar culo into the passenger's seat of an Audi Q7? At the time we commented on the swarm of high-powered celebs who've recently been spotted in Audi rides and commended Audi on its covert marketing tactics. Of course, we were...

Jon Gosselin Gets A Gag Order And A New RideOn the one hand, Jon Gosselin is a complete douchebag who's been kicked to the curb by his equally douchebaggy former wife (aka "Clown Car Kate"). Dude is such turnoff that TLC filed a gag order to keep him from speaking to the media. (TLC claims that Gosselin's famewhorishness, combined with his...

Jennifer Lopez Plops Down On Big, Juicy Audi Q7We admit it: we totally laughed when Audi announced its goal of beating BMW and Mercedes-Benz in worldwide sales by 2015. But you know, if we were still the betting type (let's just say we learned our lesson), we'd probably take a very long look at those increasingly shorter odds. In recent weeks...

Mila Kunis Pimps The 2010 Chevy Camaro V6 RS For BlackBookRemember Mila Kunis? The hot brunette from That 70s Show? (Not that Laura Prepon was chopped liver, but still.) Apart from the weirdo fact that she's been dating Macaulay Culkin and that she's the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy (on those rare occasions that Meg puts in an appearance), we...

Cam Gigandet's Restored Ford Mustang Shelby GT500Okay, so we're not entirely sure that Cam Gigandet qualifies as a celebrity just yet. However, he's been on The O.C. (which we haven't watched), and he's been in both Twilight movies (which we also haven't watched), and most importantly, he's now filming the really fantastic or really terrible...

Our colleagues at CelebrityCarz.com have spotted a great charity auction featuring a candy apple red 1972 Ford LTD convertible owned by everyone's favorite diamond-loving cougar, Miss Sharon Stone. The lucky high bidder gets not only a new car and the satisfaction of supporting the Brent Shapiro Foundation for Alcohol and Drug Awareness, but also a snazzy piece of Hollywood history. Seriously: can you imagine the wheeling and dealing that's gone on in that ginormous back seat? [CelebrityCarz]

Kate Hudson & Alex Rodriguez Roll To The Gym In A BMW 330CIA couple of weeks ago, we clocked Alex Rodriguez hanging at the valet stand after a workout, waiting for his Porsche 911 cabriolet to be brought around. On that particular day, A-Rod's only workout buddy was his own reflection, glimpsed in the 911's shiny black paint job. And here we see a photo of...

Jessica Alba May Dig Yukon Hybrid More Than FoodDear Jessica Alba: We took a gander at your IMDB profile, and it looks like you've been getting a lot of work lately -- way more than you've had in recent years. Perhaps you've finally recovered from the curse of Dark Angel that's afflicted 99% of your colleagues. Congrats on beating the odds...

Ewan McGregor Goes Back To The Garden In A Vintage VW BusBefore people start firing off nasty emails and TPing our ligustrum (it's just a poor, defenseless shrub fer chrissakes), let's get one thing clear: we like Ewan McGregor. Seriously: Trainspotting? Brilliant. Velvet Goldmine? Defined a generation. The Phantom Menace? Well, we don't mention The...

Patrick Dempsey's McDreamy Porsche 911 GT3Growing up famous can't be easy. It's painful enough just watching from afar. (Remember Linda Blair? Rick Schroeder? That kid who played Oliver on The Brady Bunch?) The teen years are awkward enough without millions of hungry fans leering as you trudge through adolescence, hormone imbalances...

Kevin Federline Gets Gassy With A GMC YukonThere's a lot to say about Kevin Federline -- sadly, none of it good. Between the guy's prison-quality tattoos, his white-trash habits, his apparent lack of mad skillz, and his train wreck of an ex-wife, K-Fed's an easy target. And thanks to a carb-friendly diet, he's getting even easier. We're...

Dear Arnold Schwarzenegger: You are a perfect example of why sane people shouldn't go into politics. Prior your election, you were beloved by thousands -- an idol for bodybuilders, philanderers, and weekend action heroes the world over. Since becoming Herr Governator, however, the tide has turned. Sure, the kids still love [some of] your movies, but you've managed to piss off 70% of the most populous state in America. That can't feel good. As we see in this shot of you with your eldest son, Patrick, the tension has obviously taken its toll: you've resorted to the comforts of your European...

Five Good Reasons Kate Beckinsale Left Her Dog In The CarOver the weekend, we stumbled across this photo of a cute little mutt*, sporting a full harness and a leash and left in someone's back seat. According to reports, the dog belongs to one Kate Beckinsale: Kate Beckinsale spent hours inside the Byron Tracy Salon on November 19, 2009 in Los Angeles...

Ashley Greene's Audi Q5 Keeps The Twi-Hards (And Us) GuessingOkay, Miss Ashley Green, this is an occasion of strangeness: three days after we saw Orlando Bloom out and about in his Audi Q7, here you are standing tankside, filling up an Audi Q5. You are also sipping a Diet Red Bull, which is largely irrelevant, except for the fact that (a) you're getting a...

Mariah Carey Will Totally Cut a Bitch in Her Rolls-RoyceDiva to millions, inspiration to an army of curvy Latinas everywhere, but mostly on Long Island, just past the last stop on the LIRR--Mariah Carey, now you're truly a performance artiste. Nevermind that you're riding a huge hit record (Download? Digital file? What exactly do we call them, now?)...

Rihanna cuts a rug in the back of a Mercedes SprinterWe understand that this isn't Rihanna's personal ride, so please do cut us some slack. What we don't understand is what's happening in this shot. But naturally, we have a few ideas: 1. Rihanna could simply be changing her outfit. In front of every celeb photographer in the western world. 2. Rihanna...

Speidi Tops Off The Tank With Extra HamLike rodents in a bleached-out game of whack-a-mole, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt popped up on Regis and Kelly this morning. Mostly they were shilling their new book, How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture. But of course, with a title...

So here's a shot of Alex Rodriguez, climbing into his convertible after a vigorous workout at the gym. And much like yesterday's Gwen Stefani post, there's a lot of fodder we could tap to caption it. We could even tap a "tapping" pun, but this is a family website. Or so they tell us. Anyway, here are our front-runners so far: 1. We could make a crack about Alex's girlfriend/fiancee, Kate Hudson, picking out the little black car to match her countless little black dresses. (Accurate, but obvious.) 2. We could surmise that A-Rod's a closet romantic, choosing a Mercedes-Benz CLK because it's an...

Gwen Stefani Is Home On The Range (Rover Sport)Leftover Halloween celeb photos are to bloggers what leftover pizza is to stoners: delectable, satisfying, and just enough to make us giggle. But which way will we go on this tasty linked shot of songstress Gwen Stefani? • Will we make a crack about Stefani's vocal similarities to Jessie, the...

John Travolta's Jaguar XJ8L Stays Tastefully Above The FraySay what you will about Scientology. Or Saturday Night Fever. Or Battlefield Earth. Or certain rumors that have dogged John Travolta over the years. Go ahead, say it. We'll wait... Right, well, despite all that, you can't argue that the man has class. Even in the face of a complicated legal battle...

Matthew McConaughey's Camaro Z28 (What, You Expected A Yaris?)Things we did not know about Matthew McConaughey until this very minute: 1. He occasionally wears shirts. 2. He works out (though given the fact that we see him shirtless so much, the weight-lifting thing shouldn't have been a surprise). 3. He drives a stereotypical but oh-so-bitchin' Camaro Z28...

Justin Timberlake Brings Sexy Back...With An Audi A5?Sometimes, celebrity car photos are like drunks at a frat party: they say more than you might've expected, and you walk away a changed person -- sometimes for the better, and, well, sometimes not. Take, for example, this shot of Justin Timberlake, prepping for an exhilarating morning of golf as he...

Blythe Danner Forced To Use Trike While Daughter Rakes It InIt may be difficult, but please: look at this. Yes, that's Blythe Danner. AND SHE IS ON A TRICYCLE. Well, okay, the contraption has two small wheels in the back, so technically, it's a quadracycle. But whatever: the thing's effect on us is the same. That effect is nausea. We do not enjoy watching...
