We're not going to sit here and pretend to hang on every word that drops from the mouths of American Idol contestants. We're not even going to pretend that we've watched a full episode of the show. But when it comes to competitors hiding portions of their past...well, we're all ears. During his audition with TyLoJack, current AI contestant Stefano Langone spoke at length about being critically injured in a 2009 car accident, which was caused by a drunk driver. It was a moving, tearful 60-seconds -- though in all fairness, Langone's recovery was pretty remarkable. Also in fairness, the boy has...

Et alors, qu'est-ce que c'est? Why, it appears to be actress, model, and object of Jeremy Clarkson's undying affection, Ms. Keira Knightley, perched atop a Ducati in Paris' Place de la Concorde. But you know, we're just guessing. At first glance, we thought Keira might be going through some sort of personal crisis, or perhaps angling for George Clooney's affection. (You know the Cloonster's love of women and hogs.) But then we noticed the cameras and the light reflectors and -- biggest tip-off of all -- the way that the bike is strapped to a rig, making it kind of like the world's coolest...

VIDEO: Hennessey Camaro Convertible Hits The MarketWhen the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible launched earlier this year, it was perhaps inevitable that the tuner market would follow with its own take on the car.

You're in your new Ferrari California, cruising through town on a sunny Beverly Hills day when all of a sudden, there's a bus trying to occupy the same space as you. Your day just went from great to completely awful. That's exactly the story of this unlucky California owner, and the video below shows just how awful the day became. The physics of the crash--a sideswiping bus versus an Italian GT--are simple. The aftermath, however, is heartbreaking, especially if you bleed Rosso. [SoCalSpeedZone]

Video: First Porsche 911 GT2 RS Delivered To U.S. CustomerThe Porsche 911 GT2 is a car that needs no introduction. Often nicknamed the widow maker due to its sheer rawness and tendency to go sideways at will, the 911 GT2--as hard as it is to believe--is available in an even more extreme form, as the 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. At a special event at El Toro...

It's T-minus three hours before we post up our first drive of the 2011 Aston Martin Vantage S, but this video clip sitting in a desktop folder should tide you over for about 180 more minutes. Aston captured the Vantage on the Ascari Race Resort track before the first American and Aussie journalists showed up last week to drive the car on a dank, windy day--wind you can hear over the Vantage S' muscular quad-exhaust soundtrack. The video shows off Ascari's challenging layout, where you're already looking for solutions from the first set of double apexes. For the serious car-sickness action...

Video: Tata Pixel Concept... You Spin Me Right Round BabyThe car that perhaps raised the most eyebrows at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show wasn't necessarily a supercar like the Ferrari FF or Pagani's new unpronounceable replacement for the Zonda, nor was it the sporty Nissan ESFLOW or the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive. Instead, it was a tiny concept based on an...
