Justin Bieber's Teen Years Are Nothing Like Ours WereUnless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard of Justin Bieber. Unless you're under 21, though, you probably can't hum one of his tunes. That could be because you're out of touch with The Kids, or possibly because Bieber is from another planet (metaphorically speaking). Seriously...

Jay Leno Isn't Too Amped About The Chevy VoltUpdated: see below During an interview with Elon Musk in May of 2009, David Letterman dissed the Chevrolet Volt. Shortly thereafter, Letterman remembered where his ad dollars come from and apologized, inviting spunky GM spokesmodel Bob Lutz to talk about the much-hyped hybrid on the show. In the...

Warning: January Jones Is Now Driving A Land Rover LR2It's a good thing January Jones (allegedly) dodged that (alleged) DUI a couple of weeks ago. Otherwise, she and maybekindasorta current boyfriend Jason Sudeikis would've had to take a cab on their most recent date/non-date to a friend's birthday party. Well, unless Jason has a driver's license. And...

Video: Angelina Jolie Delivers A (Car) Smashing Performance In SALTWe haven't seen much of Angelina Jolie lately. Between all the globe-trotting and the dieting and the bowchickawowow with her equally stunning common-law husband, she's had a lot on her plate. However, Ms. Jolie is about to make a return to the big screen, and once again she's playing a spy. A very...

Beyonce Almost Earns Her Halo For Real-RealThis, friends, is a cautionary tale, and one that makes it all too clear that the world would be a better place if everyone drove supercars. Lend an ear. Last week, Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z were tooling around London in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. (Clearly, his love affair with the Jaguar XJ has gone...

Ashley Greene Sides With Team Edward (We Think)Full disclosure: we haven't watched the Twilight films. Fuller disclosure: we're not going to. Translation: we don't really know anything about Ashley Greene's character in those films, though we assume from the commercials that she is either a blood-sucking freak or some kind of full-moon...

Jennifer Aniston Should Really See A Doctor About Those MigrainesBrad Pitt? Gone. John Mayer? Man-ho. Gerard Butler? Still on the hunt. Apparently, he likes 'em mad, bad, and unavailable for 90 days. And so, Jennifer Aniston is without a traveling companion. Again. But soft, what dude through yonder valet stand breaks? It is a Mystery Man, and Jennifer has a...

This, people -- this is the face of DUI. The scrunched-up, self-tanned, high-brought-low, comeuppance-enhanced face of DUI. A simulated re-enactment of the Lohan's just-wrapped trial:

Elijah Wood In A MINI (Obviously)And here we have diminutive dreamboat Elijah Wood, out for a night on the town in the passenger seat of a MINI. He's acting like it's not his, like it belongs to his friend/personal assistant/other, but c'mon dude: we know. We know, okay? Elijah, if you're reading this -- and statistically, there's...

Victoria Beckham Reminds Us Why We Kicked England To The CurbRoughly 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...

Alexander Skarsgard And Kate Bosworth In An Audi R8This is going to sound terrible, but we can never remember why Kate Bosworth is important -- or at least important enough to be taking up a corner of the limited real estate north of our medulla oblongata. Is she a musician? A juggler? Did she kill someone famous, or just our sense of inner peace?...

Naomi Campbell Enjoys Some Pumping Now And ThenYes, that's Naomi Campbell, in the photo found at the link below. Yes, she's wearing a knee-length fur vest. No, we don't know anyone who would actually buy a knee-length fur vest, though it might be of interest to wealthy amputees. No, we don't know what it's made from, but it's likely real mink...

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 --...

HOLY CRAP, YOU GUYS! DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS?
Don't stare, stupid monkeys. Just be quiet and act naturally.... Now pretend you're looking at something else -- that fire hydrant, maybe, or that halal...

Will.i.am Was Totally Robbed (No, Really)Remember Will.i.am's sexy Bentley Continental? Apparently the guy whose name reads like an Armenian scam website was happy to buy a GT Limited Edition, but not to shell out for a decent car alarm: someone broke into the car while it was parked in the Hollywood Hills and made off with about $10,000...

Something For Everyone: Jake Gyllenhaal, An Audi Q7, And Eskimo PiesHello. I'm Jake Gyllenhaal. While you've been snarfing doughnut holes and Funyuns and cruising the Xtubes, I've been at the gym. Yeah, baby, you wanna punch this gut? Punch it! I'm rock solid! 10,000 crunches, ya heard? Grrr! But oh man, I wish I could have an Eskimo Pie.... I remember Eskimo Pies...

A vintage Ford Bronco? Benicio Del Toro just got a little less creepyAll cards on the table: Benicio del Toro kinda creeps us out. It's not entirely his fault. Hell, the guy's been given some creepy roles over the years. Christopher Walken and Harvey Keitel unnerve us for the same reason. James Woods? Looking at you, too. On the other hand, del Toro probably...

Alanis Morissette: Now 50% Less CanadianYou kids may have to whip out the Wikipedia for this one. (Actually, make that "'pull up the Wikipedia', because 'whip out' would imply some kind of book or something, and what the hell is that again?). Older readers, however, will recognize the woman emerging from this BMW X5 as the formerly...

Chris Klein Drives Drunk. But Then, What Else Has He Got To Do?This is probably not Chris Klein's mugshot -- a mugshot that will likely hit the interwebs soon, since Klein was arrested on Wednesday morning for driving under the influence. On the other hand, we tend to make this same face when we're surrounded by body shots and fuzzy navels, so maybe this is...
