Though they may have started from humble "British Jeep" roots, these days Land Rovers are far more likely to carry young Justin and Jennifer to soccer practice than to claw their way up dirt tracks--despite the sophisticated Terrain Control system to control their standard all-wheel-drive. Which is why we felt this photo of a Land-Rover LR3 with genuine mud on its flanks and backside was worthy of mention. Snapped on the New York...

Leftover Halloween celeb photos are to bloggers what leftover pizza is to stoners: delectable, satisfying, and just enough to make us giggle. But which way will we go on this tasty linked shot of songstress Gwen Stefani? • Will we make a crack about Stefani's vocal similarities to Jessie, the Yodeling Cowgirl? • Will we comment on the way she's coordinated her rootin'-tootin' outfit with that rough and ready Range Rover Sport? • Will we make go all juvenile and wonder what Gwen's personal "toy story" might be? After much thought, we've opted to take the easy route: we're going...

A police officer told the Daily Mail, "He seemed completely disorientated, like he had no idea what was going on." The 46-year-old had just gotten his driver's...
