The HPEMS gun disables a car's computer at a distance.

Leave it to Conan O'Brien to do something so weird and wacky.

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

This wild display from Alfa Romeo's Belgian arm shows how affordable the MiTo can be.

You 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...

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...

Ken Block will take the wheel of a Fiesta and Focus in racing for 2010.

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...

Ladies 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...

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...

Flash mobs have been around for decades (back in the day, they were called outlaw parties), but they've only recently been co-opted for marketing campaigns. Today's example: the surprise arrival of a dozen bikini-clad dancers and a DIY samba band on a chilly square in Amsterdam to shill the Fiat...

The cars were the fruits of a Ponzi scheme, say the Marshals.

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...

Any suit or holiday outfit could benefit from this little touch of gearhead goodness from RaceChairs.
