Orlando Bloom appears to be happy as a clam in Beverly Hills as he purchases his new battery-powered Lucid car. The vehicle claims to go 400 to 500 miles on a single charge and it’s a serious rival to Tesla. Lucids rev up to 168 MPH and range in price from $77,000 to $170,000 – we’re assuming Orlando got a pricey one. Looks like he can hardly WAIT to get behind the wheel and take Katy for a ride…

She’s not one to brag, but Lisa Bonet has been married to two of the hottest men in Hollywood. She became a star on The Cosby Show in 1984, and three years later when she was 20, she married rock star Lenny Kravitz. They split in 1993, and she started dating a guy who fell in love with her watching The Cosby Show and never got over it -– Jason Momoa. Her charmed life became even more delightful recently when Jason surprised her with an amazing gift: he presented her with a restored version of her very first car (that she loved) – a 1965 Ford Mustang. He documented the car restoration in a YouTube video. We love that the two husbands are good friends.
Dolph Lundgren attracted a lot of admiring glances when he left The Palm restaurant in Beverly Hills with a buddy. Phones came whipping out when Dolph hopped into his Shelby Cobra painted a delicious bright red. (If we never saw another grey car again, we’d be happy.) Since we know next to nothing about cars, we checked eBay and found a similar 1965 Cobra for sale for $120,000 or “best offer.” Why large men love tiny cars is a mystery, but it appears that Dolph could not fit his head in if the car had a convertible top!

Jennifer Lopez’s ex-boyfriend Casper Smart, 29, has a new hairstyle AND a new car! Last December he totaled his Mercedes sports car, but he’s rebounded with a $140,000 BMW i8! Last fall Jennifer caught him cheating for the SECOND time and gave him the boot. Meanwhile, he’s telling friends that he expects Jennifer to forgive him and take him back any time now. Where does this expensive car fit into the story? He’s a video choreographer and J.Lo was his boss as well as his love interest. Above, he’s arriving at Catch ALONE in Cuban heels. Love that door.

Now that she’s single, Lady Gaga seems to have more time on her hands, but she’s figured out what to do with it. She recently got her first driver’s license and she’s channeled her fashion obsession into cars! Instead of walking around in several outrageous outfits a day, she’s DRIVING different unusual cars. Sometimes several on ONE day! She prefers them flashy and/or vintage – and like her clothing, anything goes! We predict she will become as well-known for her cars as she is for her clothing. But can she top that MEAT DRESS with a vehicle?

It was a jolt to come across this photo of James Dean that Tom O’Neil posted on Facebook – it was one of the last taken before Dean’s fatal car accident. He’s filling up the tank of his Porsche and we love seeing a sunny Los Angeles gas station in the 50’s. Not to mention that Cadillac! Those were the full service days when the attendant washed your windshield and checked your oil after pumping your gas. Dean was just 24 and had only owned the car for 9 days before his death. Would a seat belt have saved his life? It’s a sad reminder of Paul Walker’s tragic accident.

Now we have at least two reasons to like Ben Affleck. He just got out of a swanky classic Chevrolet on his way to a Santa Monica studio – and he has a vaping pen in his hand. That means he’s probably trying to give up smoking, which would be a nice example for his kids. It’s hard to forgive the guy who allegedly cheated on one of America’s sweethearts (Jennifer Garner) but we’ll just have to get over it.

Jerry Seinfeld surprised the crowd and caused quite a stir at the Detroit Auto Show this week. He wanted to be among the first to see the Acura Supercar NSX at it’s big unveiling there. He’s thinking about adding it to his car collection. He remarked “It’s always exciting to see a brand new car that never existed before.” While at the show, Jerry also promoted his web series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.”

Now THAT’S a Christmas gift! Rapper Iggy Azalea gave her Laker basketball player boyfriend Nick Young a beautifully restored 1962 Chevy Impala convertible for Christmas yesterday! They haven’t stopped cruising. Nick took Iggy out for ice cream and they breezed through the drive-in Chick-Fil-A. There’s nothing better than cruising on Sunset in an Impala ragtop!

We’re astonished by this photo of Khloe Kardashian for more than one reason. First of all, her backside is ENORMOUS and not entirely natural looking. Secondly, she is wearing a skin-tight black leather skirt while running an errand at Fusion Luxury Motors in Northridge, where they buy and sell ultra fancy and collectible vintage cars. Whether she’s looking to buy a car or unload one is not known, but we’re betting those mechanics gave her plenty of attention. You don’t see people walking around Northridge dressed like this every day.
