LADY GAGA KEEPS HER BOYFRIEND – AND HERSELF- HAPPY

Lady Gaga tweeted this photo of herself and a sweet ride she calls “Ginger.” No explanation, but we’re wondering if it has anything to do with her boyfriend Luc Carl. He’s been accompanying her on her Monster Ball Tour around the world and she says they always have separate hotel rooms so she can maintain her “creativity.” It definitely looks like a vehicle he could sink his teeth into.

HOUSE DOC HUGH LAURIE HAS A WEAKNESS FOR FLASHY CARS

“House” star Hugh Laurie is making the most of living in Hollywood by driving around in his bright red 1966 Ford Galaxie convertible. Laurie has a collection of vehicles to entertain himself because his family is back in England while the kids finish their education. Sure, the car is a gas guzzler, but Laurie takes home $400,000 an episode for his series.

DANIEL CRAIG DOESN’T DRIVE HIS ASTON MARTIN OFTEN ENOUGH

James Bond fans might be interested to know that 007 star Daniel Craig has put his own 2010 Aston Martin up for sale. He loves the car, but after only 2700 miles Craig realized he has little use for it because he lives most of the time in London. For $134,007 the car can be purchased from Jaguar of Newport Beach. And it still has Daniel’s nameplate on it. But hurry, they don’t expect to have it for long.

SCOTT DISICK: IT PAYS TO CONSORT WITH THE KARDASHIANS

Scott Disick was very smart to have baby Mason with Kourtney Kardashian. He may never have to really “work” again (if he ever did.) His connection to the money machine family has proved hugely profitable as is illustrated by his new Lamborghini. So far he’s appeared as a cad on three of the Kardashian reality shows – “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” “Kourthey And Khloe Take Miami,” and “Kourtney And Kim Take New York.” Viewers love to hate him.

JOE JONAS HAS NOT ENDEARED HIMSELF TO ASHLEY GREEN’S NEIGHBORS

Here’s the problem. Joe Jonas’s girlfriend Ashley Greene moved into a West Hollywood condo that doesn’t have overnight guest parking. 30 minute parking is the rule for guests. Joe has been leaving his big Mercedes SUV in guest parking overnight and he’s in big trouble with the doormen and tenants. He’s been warned. Lately he’s been having a friend drop him off and pick him up in the morning, but he’s not happy because he feels a bit trapped. Above, Joe and Ashley are walking their dogs in front of her building.

PULL OVER! RUSSELL BRAND IS BEHIND THE WHEEL!

Russell Brand’s bride Katy Perry has finally put her foot down and insisted he learn how to drive. Katy has had to do all the driving until now – so it makes sense that she talked reluctant Russell into taking driving lessons at the ripe age of 35. After all, she gave him a Range Rover as a Christmas gift last year and he’s never been able to use it. It’s a sure sign that the couple plans to live in Los Angeles where you can’t do anything without a car.

NEXT CELEBRITY FAD: THE FLYING CAR!



We found the perfect Christmas gift for John Travolta. The future is here. We’ve long dreamed about flying cars and now you can have one for around $250,000. A company called Terrafugia is now taking orders on their new prototype that they call a “transition roadable aircraft.” The pilot can literally land at a local airport, fold up the wings by pressing a button, and drive home! The company has about 80 interested buyers so far and they’re striving to bring down the price. We wonder who the first celebrity flier will be.

Billboard queen Angeline once said she didn’t want to be a movie star and really work (she’s lazy,) she just wanted to be famous. After decades of well-placed billboards in Hollywood, she HAS achieved notoriety with a minimum of effort. She can frequently be seen driving around town in her hot pink Corvette, throwing kisses out the window. Since she obviously spent a lot of time on makeup and getting dressed, why does she turn away and run when she sees photographers? She just walked out of a chiropractor’s office in West Hollywood so maybe she doesn’t feel well.
