Honestly, we don't know what to think about Guy Fieri.
Pro: He's one of The Food Network's least boring hosts.
Con: With presenters like Giada DeLauretis and Marc Summers, "least boring" doesn't...

The A-Team Returns, But What About Its GMC Van?No, ladies and gents, your eyes don't deceive you: the four gun-toting hombres at left are the new (but likely not improved) A-Team. For those too young to remember the original or too highfalutin' to watch it, The A-Team was a popular TV series in the mid-1980s. Like many TV series then and now...

Lexus LFA: Hotrod Or Failwagen?The Lexus LFA has been a hot topic since its unveiling at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show last week. On the one hand, it's got some impressive engineering stats. On the other hand, the limited-edition supercar has taken heat for not being more like other high-end models: reviewers here and elsewhere have...

Rumor: Special Edition Audi TT Forza Motorsport 3 In The WorksWe've professed our love for Forza Motorsport 3. We've gabbed about its beauty and how the graphics look true to life. And now, like some sci-fi movie where animated objects fly off the screen, rumors abound that Audi is producing a special model to honor the game that's on every Xbox fan's mind...

We Underestimated Anna Faris And Her Toyota FJ CruiserClearly we have underestimated Anna Faris. We'd written her off as another adorable blonde, on par with Malin Akerman or Hilarie Burton -- which is to say cute, funny, approachably sexy, and doomed to a career full of infomercials. But oh, Ms. Faris has proven us wrong: there is clearly more to...

Dennis Quaid Dodges DUI In Cadillac EscaladeHere's how drunk driving works for most people: 1. Wake up. 2. Brush teeth, hair. 3. Put on least wrinkled clothes. 4. Head to favorite watering hole. Order drink. 5. Consume. 6. Repeat steps #4 and #5 until everyone in said watering hole looks like a potential bedmate for the evening. 7. Stumble...

Full disclosure: we're not big fans of AnnaLynne McCord. In our not-so-humble opinions, she's a little too hungry for both food and attention. Also: the new 90210 is total crap. Not like the 90s...

Achtung: Britney's Behind The Wheel Of Her G-Wagen, Y'allWhen last we saw Brit-Brit, she was heading home from the pet store with a new bird in tow, waiting patiently by the driver's side door of a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. But for some reason, y'all, we never imagined she actually DROVE the thing. That's some scary stuff right there, I tell you what. P.S...

Channing Tatum Is Catching The Next Range Rover Out Of TownAre those boots for fishing. Because they also look like they'd be perfect for cement. Just an observation.

Let's do a quick recap of Rachel Bilson's career: she had a guest spot on That 70s Show, a guest spot on Buffy, a guest spot on 8 Simple Rules, and way too many recurring appearances on The OC (at...

Kim Kardashian Returns To The Gas Station In A Bentley GTCIt seems like just yesterday that we spotted Kim Kardashian at the pumps, gassing up her Range Rover in a pair of leggings and spike-heel boots. (Actually, it was last Wednesday. In case you were wondering.) But Kim is a versatile girl -- and a flexible one, too, if videos are to be believed -- so...

Tom Cruise Crushes Mercury Grand MarquisYes, this is another photo from the set of Tom Cruise's new movie, Wichita. Ordinarily, we wouldn't post such things so close together, but this shot is remarkable for a couple of reasons: 1. That's Tom Cruise in the air, not some stuntdude. Which leads us to believe that the "sex diet" Katie...

Emmy Rossum Could Probably Do Better Than A Mercedes-Benz MLWhy hello there, Emmy Rossum! You sure are well-dressed in this photo -- especially to be dating somebody from Counting Crows. Though now that we think about it, Courtney Cox (aka Courtney Cox Arquette) didn't grunge up very much during her journey down that black hole of crap rock, either, and she...

Kim Kardashian Gasses Up The Range RoverIt's hard to know what to make of Kim Kardashian. Sometimes seems pretty self aware -- as if she knows that she's in the 14th minute of her pop-culture notoriety. There is also a remote possibility that Kim understands the sources of her fleeting fame: good bone structure, incredible hair, a...

Good afternoon, class. Time for a pop quiz! How many things can you spot that are wrong in this picture?

2. Nicole Richie in the company of...

Tom Cruises The Globe In (Or On) A Chrysler Town & CountryOkay, Tom Cruise, you have intrigued us yet again. We see you here on the set of your new film Wichita, dangling from the roof rack of a Chrysler Town & Country. That raises some questions: 1. Does this count as doing your own stunts? Or do you call them tricks? We don't know all the fancy...

Britney Spears Knows Why The Caged Bird SingsOur reaction to this sad/hilarious photo, with apologies to Paul Laurence Dunbar, Maya Angelou, and Emily Dickinson: I wonder why the caged bird sings for pop tart Britney Spears, E'en though his life may soon by fraught with scandals and with jeers.... Is it because he knows he'll never want for...

Paris Hilton Adds A Cadillac Escalade Hybrid To Her FleetOkay, Paris Hilton: you are officially blowing our minds. We used to think of you... well, how to put this diplomatically without hurting your feelings? We used to think of you as a faux-blonde, airheaded heiress whose only interests included partying, making sex tapes, and foisting a never-ending...

WTF: Jamie Kennedy Drives A Bentley Continental GTC?Dear Jamie Kennedy: Thank you for proving what we already knew: that life isn't fair. If life were fair, you probably wouldn't be driving a Bentley Continental GTC around Los Angeles. (Or anywhere, for that matter.) If life were fair, you probably wouldn't be working as a comedian/actor -- even as...

Christian Bale's BMW 325i Is Kind Of Bumming Us OutYou know what, Christian Bale? We're concerned. Deeply, deeply concerned. It's one thing to have a penchant for creepy indie films. It is quite another to bring your family along for the ride, metaphorically speaking. We understand that you recently wrapped (that's what they say in the biz, right?...
