And so it came to pass, in the year of Our Lady Gaga 03 (commonly known as 2010), a plague settled upon the House of Sheen. The Patriarch (commonly known as Charlie) was beset by lawsuits and...

Charlie Sheen Is Smiling. Should We Be Concerned?Possible reasons that Charlie Sheen is smiling in the photo at the link below: 1. That whole business about his Mercedes S-Class tumbling over a cliff under very suspicious circumstances has been mostly forgotten. 2. The guy already has a new Mercedes sedan in his driveway. 3. As part of Sheen's...

January Jones (Allegedly) Dodges A DUILinked 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...

Kia Blocks Two Free Throws From LeBron JamesPoor LeBron James. (Speaking figuratively, of course.) The NBA star receives a lot of swag for being one of the most important athletes in America, and nice guy that he is, James tries to give much of it away to charity. Unfortunately, some auto companies are making it hard for James to help those...

Kanye West's Porsche Panamera Hits It And Quits ItFirst, he started dating Amber Rose, who's basically the safe-for work equivalent of Ice T's Coco [decidedly NSFW], marinated overnight in a bath of Tila Tequila's famewhorishness, and served in a crusty tortilla shell. Then there was that whole "Imma let you finish" thingamagoo. Now, we learn that...

Breaking: Vanessa Hudgens Is HandicappedYes, that's Vanessa Hudgens slinking back to her Audi cabriolet, in the photo at the link below. Yes, it's likely the same one that she received as a birthday present from boyfriend Zac Efron. Yes, it's sitting in a handicapped spot. Yes, based on the tragic slashed-jeans-and-hooker-boot combo...

Last night, a swarm of celebs descended on Alice Tully Hall for one of the fashion world's biggest events: the Council of Fashion Designers of America's annual Fashion Awards. And of course, knowing...

Jack Osbourne's Aston Martin Keyed By Ex: Is Nothing Sacred?Yes, you read that headline correctly: last Wednesday, Jack Osbourne's ex-girlfriend, Niki Cloyd, allegedly popped over to Jack's house, whipped out her keys, and went at his Aston Martin DBS like a gangster taking a shiv to a snitch's ribs. We laughed for a minute, wondering how the key to a 1985...

Chevy Does Right By Detroit, Tosses A 2010 Corvette To Armando GalarragaBP's oil leak is still polluting the Gulf, Sex and the City is still making money, and Ke$ha (or Kesh@ or whatever she's calling herself this week) is still alive. These things do not give us faith in our Fellow Man. Or Woman. This, however, does: despite an epically bad call -- like, Donner Party...

Tobey Maguire's Family Roll In A Good Old-Fashioned Volvo XC 90You know what, Tobey Maguire? We respect you. No, seriously: we do. For real. For starters, you had the good sense and decency to bail on a franchise when you decided that you couldn't bring anything new to it. Or maybe it was because they couldn't bring more dough to you. Or perhaps because you...

The A-Team Takes Aim At NASCAR FansThe A-Team opens on June 11, and just to make sure that its target audience of 35 - 50-year-old men (aka, The People Old Enough to Remember Mr. T) know the film is en route, several of the cast appeared on the racetrack in Charlotte over the Memorial Day weekend to make a lap before the NASCAR...

MARIAH: Looka here: I said you'd best find us a Mickey D's, and you'd best do it now. NICK: Aw, c'mon, baby. Ain't none of my homeboys ever seen a Rolls-Royce, much less a Phantom Drophead Coupe. MARIAH: It's "Coupé", dummy. NICK...

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....

Jesse James Doesn't Fully Understand The Concept Of 'Low Profile'Remember when Jesse James was awesome? When he and Sandra Bullock were like the couple everyone wanted at their holiday key party? Oh, how times change. Now, Jesse James is a philandering skank-magnet and alleged white supremacist, who's taken the really brave, really courageous step of blaming his...

Heidi Montag Boards Her Hubby's Bitchin' Camaro SSLast year, Heidi Montag gave her new husband, whatshisname, a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. And for some reason the world cared. Apparently the guy still owns it, because behind the link we see la Montag perched against its hood in a near life-like pose, in so far as any 23-year-old who's undergone at...

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? There they are, sitting in traffic, side by side. It's apparently just a coincidence of plastic surgery that they have the same face. ♦ They both exist in daylight...

Paris Hilton Flashes From The Front Seat Of Her Bentley Continental GTCWe've seen her slithering from a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, we've seen her putting gas into a complete stranger's Ford Expedition, and elsewhere on the interweb, we've watched her scoot about town in various states of undress. But until today, our favorite photo of Paris Hilton was the one of her...

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...

This Is What Happens When You Name Your Child 'Mowgli'Look, we like kids as much as any other bachelor (priests excluded), but there should probably be some sort of law about acceptable names for infants. Things began sliding off the rails 100+ years ago with the birth of Ima Hogg (who, contrary to popular belief, did not have a sister named Ura)...

Charlize Theron Bends Over, Gives Us A Peek At InfinitiUPDATED: see below for the original image There are lots of jokes floating around the High Gear Media offices right now -- most involving (a) Charlize Theron climbing into a backseat alone, (b) her heretofore unknown Brazilian heritage, or (c) some variation on the "I can see my house from here"...

Breaking: Ashley Greene Is Still In With AudiBelieve it or not, we're pretty deep around here. We have real thoughts and feelings. We marvel at the wonders of the universe. At breakfast, over doughnuts and jello shots, we pose profound questions like, "If a tree falls in the forest, will Ikea track it down?" Or, "Abe Vigoda: dead or alive?"...

Jim Carrey Upgrades From Jenny McCarthy To The Mercedes SL 63 AMGWell, 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...

Anna Nicole Smith's Mercedes 300SL Skids Onto The Auction BlockWe'd planned to write a story about Cameron Diaz being shuttled home in a black Cadillac Escalade after a late-night cuddle session with Alex Rodriguez. But as usual, C-Di and A-Rod put us to sleep, and when we woke up, our colleagues at Jalopnik had dug up something far more invigorating: news...
