Remember Stephanie Pratt?* She's the younger sister of Spencer Pratt who was arrested in LA after partying slightly too hard a couple of weeks ago? Blonde celebutante famous for nothing other than...

Pros & Cons: The Food Network's Guy Fieri's Custom GarageHonestly, 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 mean much. Pro: We like his show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives because we've spent way more time in those...

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...

Here'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...

90210's AnnaLynne McCord Stands Tall In A MINIFull 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 version was Merchant Ivory material, but c'mon: would you remake Mork & Mindy? Exactly. That said...

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.

Stephanie Pratt's DUI Is Ratings Gold For Them There HillsWe are SO SORRY that we pay so much attention to these people, but Sophia Loren hasn't done anything stupid in a car in a really long time. She knows better, obvs.

This is Russell Crowe, emerging from a Toyota Prius. He's on the set of his new movie, The Next Three Days, so we thought for a moment that this might simply be a car that's used in the film. But...

Rachel Bilson Is Going Nowhere Fast In Her Toyota PriusLet'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 least that's what we hear, because none of us ever watched that crap). Her film work includes New...

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...

Scarlett Johansson & Ryan Reynolds Face Doom In A Toyota PriusLIKE EVERY OTHER CELEBRITY COUPLE. Jeezums pete.

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...

It'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...

Nicole Richie Rear-Ended By The Paps In Her Range RoverGood afternoon, class. Time for a pop quiz! How many things can you spot that are wrong in this picture? 1. Nicole Richie, being stalked by the paparazzi. (Still?) 2. Nicole Richie in the company of her brother-in-law, Benji Madden, instead of her husband -- and Benji's identical twin -- Joel...

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...
