Roughly 234 years ago, we said "smell ya later" to Great Britain. And today -- before we break into the Jack Daniels, PBR, and other appropriately American, appropriately adult beverages -- we would like to remind you why: Once again, England has come between us and something we love. Before us: the imposing figure of Posh Spice (née Victoria Beckham). Does anything about her look warm an comforting? She is menacing -- as pointy and angular as a redcoat's bayonet. In some, she even inspires thoughts of rebellious tea parties. Or maybe teabagging. We get confused. Anyway, just like George...

Hilary Duff Is Clearly At Home On The RangeAt first, we were just going to say something catty about Hilary Duff in the photo behind the link below. You know, maybe something about the fact that she's going to the gym in Louboutins, which can only mean that she's finally broken down and agreed to take that damn stripper aerobics class --...

Linked is a photo of January Jones exiting a cab on June 9, apparently making the final, wobbly steps of a long Walk of Shame. (Never mind the fact that every walk in public has been a shameful one for Jones since since she hosted SNL. Seriously, there are not words to describe that kind of terribleness.) January's plowing streak continued on June 10, when she skipped the cab service, drove herself around LA, and rammed three parked cars with her Range Rover. Oh yes: and then she fled the scene. Witnesses say they could smell alcohol on Jones' breath when she ran the half-block home --...

May 28, 2010: Wherein We Surrender To SEX AND THE CITY 2 ManiaWe give up. We asked Hollywood to give us something interesting for this holiday Friday, something that might tide you over until we return on Tuesday, and what did we get? Bupkis, that's what. Zip. Zero. Zilch.

Victoria Beckham And Pal Ken Paves Are Roaming The (Beverly) HillsHere are some surprising things: ♦ Ken Paves and Victoria Beckham are not the same person. See 'em at the link below?

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Hops Off The Crazy Train And Into A Range RoverHere in America, we think of Brits as comparatively calm and even-keeled -- the kind who'll offer you a pleasant "Good day, sir!" as you board a lifeboat while they stand shivering on the deck of the Titanic. But at least one of our friends from Albion seems to be a little cuckoo for Cocoa-Puffs...

The Range Rover SUV isn’t small by anyone’s standards, well almost anyone, as there are a few individuals out there who are not satisfied with the amount of space provided in the luxurious off-roader. That’s where companies like the UK’s Design Q come in. The design house and vehicle customizer has unveiled a new package for the Range Rover SUV, which adds some extra inches to the wheelbase and in the process increases legroom for rear-seat passengers--so much so that they can install a reclining seat. The aim was to create a stretched Range Rover boasting all the luxury...

Breaking: Ice Skater Evan Lysacek Makes Enough Dough To Buy An Aston MartinClearly, we are in the wrong profession. At some point, we were told, "Oh, yeah: writers make bank.

On the other hand, if we...

Gerard Butler Gives Us The 'Atsa Matta You?' Beside His Range RoverPossible reasons that Gerard Butler is giving us the "atsa matta you" face: A) Because after a while, the paparazzi are just plain irritating. ("Dude, I was basically naked for 90% of 300. What more do you want to see?") B) Because he understands that, as a B+ celeb, we expect better from him than...
