Remember Mila Kunis? The hot brunette from That 70s Show? (Not that Laura Prepon was chopped liver, but still.) Apart from the weirdo fact that she's been dating Macaulay Culkin and that she's the...

Cam Gigandet's Restored Ford Mustang Shelby GT500Okay, so we're not entirely sure that Cam Gigandet qualifies as a celebrity just yet. However, he's been on The O.C. (which we haven't watched), and he's been in both Twilight movies (which we also haven't watched), and most importantly, he's now filming the really fantastic or really terrible...

The lucky high bidder gets not only a new car and the satisfaction of supporting the Brent Shapiro...

Kate Hudson & Alex Rodriguez Roll To The Gym In A BMW 330CIA couple of weeks ago, we clocked Alex Rodriguez hanging at the valet stand after a workout, waiting for his Porsche 911 cabriolet to be brought around. On that particular day, A-Rod's only workout buddy was his own reflection, glimpsed in the 911's shiny black paint job. And here we see a photo of...

Jay-Z Brings The Bling With A 2011 Jaguar XJJust for the record: we hate press embargoes. Not only are they 99% useless in this age of digital media, where nuclear secrets can be disseminated as quickly as family photos, but they're awfully pretentious. No one likes being on the receiving end of a stern, finger-wagging talking-to --...

Jessica Alba May Dig Yukon Hybrid More Than FoodDear Jessica Alba: We took a gander at your IMDB profile, and it looks like you've been getting a lot of work lately -- way more than you've had in recent years. Perhaps you've finally recovered from the curse of Dark Angel that's afflicted 99% of your colleagues. Congrats on beating the odds...

Before people start firing off nasty emails and TPing our ligustrum (it's just a poor, defenseless shrub fer chrissakes), let's get one thing clear: we like Ewan McGregor. Seriously: Trainspotting?...

Patrick Dempsey's McDreamy Porsche 911 GT3Growing up famous can't be easy. It's painful enough just watching from afar. (Remember Linda Blair? Rick Schroeder? That kid who played Oliver on The Brady Bunch?) The teen years are awkward enough without millions of hungry fans leering as you trudge through adolescence, hormone imbalances...

Kevin Federline Gets Gassy With A GMC YukonThere's a lot to say about Kevin Federline -- sadly, none of it good. Between the guy's prison-quality tattoos, his white-trash habits, his apparent lack of mad skillz, and his train wreck of an ex-wife, K-Fed's an easy target. And thanks to a carb-friendly diet, he's getting even easier. We're...

Schwarzenegger's Porsche 911 Cabrio Spotlights Arnie's AngstDear Arnold Schwarzenegger: You are a perfect example of why sane people shouldn't go into politics. Prior your election, you were beloved by thousands -- an idol for bodybuilders, philanderers, and weekend action heroes the world over. Since becoming Herr Governator, however, the tide has...

Five Good Reasons Kate Beckinsale Left Her Dog In The CarOver the weekend, we stumbled across this photo of a cute little mutt*, sporting a full harness and a leash and left in someone's back seat. According to reports, the dog belongs to one Kate Beckinsale: Kate Beckinsale spent hours inside the Byron Tracy Salon on November 19, 2009 in Los Angeles...

Ashley Greene's Audi Q5 Keeps The Twi-Hards (And Us) GuessingOkay, Miss Ashley Green, this is an occasion of strangeness: three days after we saw Orlando Bloom out and about in his Audi Q7, here you are standing tankside, filling up an Audi Q5. You are also sipping a Diet Red Bull, which is largely irrelevant, except for the fact that (a) you're getting a...

We understand that this isn't Rihanna's personal ride, so please do cut us some slack.
What we don't understand is what's happening in this shot. But naturally, we have a few ideas:
1. Rihanna could...

Speidi Tops Off The Tank With Extra HamLike rodents in a bleached-out game of whack-a-mole, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt popped up on Regis and Kelly this morning. Mostly they were shilling their new book, How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture. But of course, with a title...

Orlando Bloom Surprises Us With An Audi Q7 TDILike Justin Timberlake's Audi A5, the Audi Q7 isn't the first vehicle we'd expect to find in Orlando Bloom's garage. Given that the guy is just 32, we'd imagine him behind the wheel of something slightly snazzier (although the Q7's ruggedness suits his adventurous demeanor pretty well). Also, the...

Ian Ziering Takes A Spin In A Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell EVWe don't quite know what to do with Ian Ziering. On the one hand, he's a car enthusiast, and he's got a touch of Softcore Green Tech Nerd about him -- both laudable traits in our book. Also, he's kept his shiznit together since the original 90120 was canned in 2000; he hasn't gone crazy, or gotten...

How Does A-Rod Love A Drop Top? Let Us Count The Ways.So here's a shot of Alex Rodriguez, climbing into his convertible after a vigorous workout at the gym. And much like yesterday's Gwen Stefani post, there's a lot of fodder we could tap to caption it. We could even tap a "tapping" pun, but this is a family website. Or so they tell us. Anyway, here...

Gwen Stefani Is Home On The Range (Rover Sport)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...

Say what you will about Scientology. Or Saturday Night Fever. Or Battlefield Earth. Or certain rumors that have dogged John Travolta over the years. Go ahead, say it. We'll wait...

Matthew McConaughey's Camaro Z28 (What, You Expected A Yaris?)Things we did not know about Matthew McConaughey until this very minute: 1. He occasionally wears shirts. 2. He works out (though given the fact that we see him shirtless so much, the weight-lifting thing shouldn't have been a surprise). 3. He drives a stereotypical but oh-so-bitchin' Camaro Z28...

Justin Timberlake Brings Sexy Back...With An Audi A5?Sometimes, celebrity car photos are like drunks at a frat party: they say more than you might've expected, and you walk away a changed person -- sometimes for the better, and, well, sometimes not. Take, for example, this shot of Justin Timberlake, prepping for an exhilarating morning of golf as he...

Blythe Danner Forced To Use Trike While Daughter Rakes It InIt may be difficult, but please: look at this. Yes, that's Blythe Danner. AND SHE IS ON A TRICYCLE. Well, okay, the contraption has two small wheels in the back, so technically, it's a quadracycle. But whatever: the thing's effect on us is the same. That effect is nausea. We do not enjoy watching...

Video: Jay Leno's Custom-Built Chevy CamaroWe haven't always been fans of Jay Leno. On The Tonight Show, he seemed like a nice enough guy, but not a real standout. In fact, he struck many of us as run-of-the-mill and ordinary. Then came Jay Leno's Garage, and we learned that in fact, Jay's "ordinary" vibe is EXACTLY what we like about him...

Kellan Lutz Restores Our Faith With His Infiniti G35Lately, Young Hollywood has been bumming us out -- at least as far as their cars are concerned. Range Rovers, G-Wagens, Mercedes-Benz SLs: their choice in rides is about as unadventurous as the acting choices they make on set. Which would explain why we're having such a hard time telling all those...
