We 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 trucks.

However, this idea that people who drive trucks are automatically populist and patriotic is patently...

You know what? We don't really care about the private lives of celebrities. As long as they're not hurting anyone or holding their spouses hostage, they can do whatever they damn well please. So Josh Duhamel's nutty stripper mistresses, Fergie's bisexual longings: none of that interests us. As far as we're concerned, they're just a nice, normal, celebrity power couple -- and to prove it, we submit this shot of the lovebirds out for a drive in Josh's GMC Sierra Denali, picking up a six-foot centerpiece for their pagan holiday celebrations. Okay, move along now, nothing to see here except...

And thanks to a carb-friendly diet, he's getting even easier. We're...

General Motors is currently seeking a buyer for Hummer, is looking to sell a stake in Opel, plans to cut its ties with Saab, and is open to almost anything with Saturn, but despite the drastic moves the auto industry task force established by President Obama is still seeking more.
