We 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. (Okay, there was this photo of Simon Monjack, husband of the late Brittany Murphy...

The meta-ness is overwhelming.

Don’t you hate it when one of the kids spills soft drink and stains--often permanently--your expensive leather seats, or worse still, when a moment of carelessness on your part leaves an ugly scrape on your bumper at the local shopping center car park. Mercedes-Benz customers need no longer worry...

The never-ending wait for Gran Turismo 5 grows just a little bit more painful with this release.

Well, okay, that headline is a little misleading: Jim probably didn't dump Jenny for a roadster. However, McCarthy and the Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG do share some striking similarities: 1. Their names both start with the letter "M". (Totally striking.) 2. They're both jaw-droppingly hot. 3. They've...

We get weird things in the mail: love letters, bomb threats, talcum powder that's pretending to be anthrax, except it smells like diaper rash, so, you know, FAIL. We also get press releases. Press releases are frequently dull, occasionally informative, and nine times out of ten, hilarious. But one...

Hot on the heels of last week’s unveiling of the BMW 5-Series Long Wheelbase is the all-new Mercedes-Benz E-Class L, which like its Teutonic rival, will be sold exclusively in the Chinese market. The stretched E-Class has now made its world debut at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show. With a length of...

The Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series is one car not in need of an upgrade but that hasn’t stopped the guys at Brabus from increasing the car’s performance to the level of the world’s top supercars. In stock form the potent GT already develops a hefty 661 horsepower but after some Brabus...
