Mercedes-Benz Gets All Name-Droppy (We Know: SHOCKING)
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 driving your target audience back toward the Sesame Street end of the life-scale. At 65, they're still eligible to draw Social Security, but the potential long-term damage from hip replacement has been mitigated. Hooray. Finally, you're ready to show off one of your shiny, new guns -- for lack of a...

Zac Efron Gets A Moving Violation (About Three HIGH SCHOOL MUSICALs Too Late)
Twelve things we know for sure: 1) Zac Efron's million-dollar, teen-idol tuches has found a new resting place in an Audi A6, as we see in the photo linked below. 2) Given Zac's previous appearance in an Audi A5, we're not sure this is an upgrade. 3) In fact, it seems a little weird. 4) Zac seems to...

We're just going to come right out and say it: Kim Kardashian doesn't make sense. We've seen her on TV, rolling her hair and, occasionally, boxing. We've seen her roll through town in rides that cost more than the average two-bedroom condo in mid-level retirement villages. And we've rolled our eyes as we've watched Kim launch her perfumes and reality shows and naked naughtybits at America (both in print and on "secret" home video). And yet, we've never fully understood the draw. Is she pretty? Damn skippy. Stunning, even. But pretty is a dime a dozen among 20somethings. Is she wealthy? Well...

Scandal: Adam Carolla Won't Roll In A Corolla During The Toyota Grand Prix
Scandal rocked CelebsAndCars today -- and by "scandal", we mean a total non-scandal that we completely turned into a fake scandal while we were goofing off in the break room, hopped up on double lattes and day-old cinnamon scones. This is how we amuse ourselves on slow news days. So, what's the...
