Regis Philbin & Kelly Ripa Turn Up The Crazy At The 2010 New York Auto ShowOn the one hand, every auto show needs its share of publicity. On the other hand, are Regis and Kelly the kind of publicity every auto show needs? That's a moot question now, since Live!

Celeb Of The Week: Eliza Dushku, Who Goes Off-Roading In Her Prius, MaybeWe're not ashamed to admit it: Eliza Dushku is a stranger to us. Not just in the sense that we've never met her -- though we might've and didn't know it -- but also in the sense that we don't know much about her body of work. Call us crazy or lazy or all of the above, but Joss Whedon sagas like the...

Everybody Hates Chris (But They Love His Audi R8)When we think "Chris Rock", we don't immediately think, "Audi R8". Not that we dispute the fact that it's him behind the wheel of Audi's hottest ride, cruising the streets of Santa Monica and perhaps trying to dream up a new sitcom to take the place of the brutally murdered Everybody Hates Chris...

Ashley Tisdale's 15 Minutes Are UpDoes everybody have trouble telling Ashley Tisdale and Aubrey O'Day apart, or is it just us? They both young, they're both blond (vaguely), and they both sing (vaguely). Each has worked as a member of a teen-centric ensemble, but neither has gained fame on the solo front. Also, they both live in...

It would be really easy to make fun of Leonardo DiCaprio. Heck, if nothing else, the guy was in Titanic, which, according to our extensive research, is the sole reason for the continued popularity of Riverdance. In most countries, that would be worth a death sentence or two, or at least a good tar-and-feathering. But as often as we write off celebs for their superficial interest in green cars or muscle cars or saving the chinchillas or whatever this week's cool cause may be, we can't dismiss Leo so easily. He's been a vocal supporter of eco-friendly technology and sustainability practices for...

Video: Five People More Famous Than You Who Have Driven A Ford MustangCountless celebrities have driven Ford Mustangs. You probably aren't one of them, and frankly, we aren't either. But no matter: the great thing about the Mustang is that it's a Car of the People. Over its four and a half decade run, the Mustang has remained sleek and stylish (apart from a brief...

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...
