Jessica Biel with Her Audi TT

Jessica Biel with Audi TT
While other stars prefer to drive huge cars, Jessica Biel seems satisfied with her two-seat Audi TT. In fact, the car is large enough for the actress and her beloved dog, so what more could she possibly want?

Certainly, there may be other things on Biel's list of desires but when it comes to cars, the Audi TT appears as the perfect choice for the actress. Or at least this is what we could say judging by the photo the guys from celebritycarsblog managed to get their hands on. As you can see for yourself, the picture features one happy trio: Jessica, the Audi TT and her dog, Tina. Still, where is Justin Timberlake?. However, for fans, Jessica Biel and her pitbull are no surprise as the star has been often photographed together with her beloved dog. As a matter of fact, both Jessica and her boyfriend Timberlake were spotted walking their pets in the park. But something was missing from the picture and now we understand what: the Audi TT.

The vehicle is perfect for two persons (or one person and a dog) but our question is: how does Jessica plan to crowd Timberlake, his two boxers, Buckley and Brennen and her pitbull Tina in a two-seat car? We just can not stop imagining how the whole Biel-Timberlake family will look like in the sports car. That would surely be a photo to remember...

Web's "most dangerous" Jessica Biel likes her cars green

Jessica Biel likes her cars green and topless
If you’re thinking about googling Jessica Biel, you may want to have protection – antivirus protection, that is. According to internet security software giant, McAfee, she led the world in searches that result in a virus. So what does the diva who has become bait for viruses have in her garage? The 27-year-old actress has been spotted in both a Lexus RX400H hybrid and Audi TT convertible.

More on the Jessica Biel virus risk from Associated Press: Security technology company McAfee Inc. on Tuesday reported that searches for the 27-year-old actress are more likely to lead to online threats such as spyware and viruses than searches for any other celebrity.

McAfee said fans searching for the actress have a one-in-five chance of ending up at a Web site designed to damage one's computer. Its the third annual report on the subject from McAfee, which last year found that Brad Pitt was the "most dangerous" celeb online.

"Cybercriminals are star watchers, too," said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee's product development. "They latch onto popular celebrities to encourage the download of malicious software in disguise." Following Biel in the report, in order, were Beyonce, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Brady and Jessica Simpson. McAfee noted President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are curiously safe searches, ranking no. 34 and no. 39, respectively. Learn about presidential vehicles

About the Audi TT convertible
Audi TT like Jessica Biel's

From The Car Connection: Last year Audi gave the TT a complete redesign; while the new TT doesn't make the design waves that the first-generation car did, the automaker finally dials up the TT’s performance to suit its racy profile. The 2009 Audi TT gets a few minor changes but is essentially carried over; however, 2009 brings an all-new, higher-performance TTS variant. On the standard TT are two different engine options: a turbocharged four-cylinder model with front-wheel drive or quattro all-wheel drive, and a V-6 model with quattro. Of these two, the V-6 (250 hp) is a little bit faster, but heavier, giving the 2.0T turbo (200 hp) a peppier feel. The four-cylinder engine also gets much better fuel economy than the V-6, with EPA ratings of up to 23 mpg city, 31 highway.

Very reasonably priced for a superstar, the TT Convertible can be had in the mid-$40k range.

About the Lexus RX400H (now RX450)
Lexus RX450 Hybrid similar to Jessica Biel'sFrom MSN Autos: The RX 450h is the luxury hybrid crossover SUV from Lexus, which is redesigned for 2010 and replaces the RX 400h, which has been the top trim level of the RX lineup since it debuted for the 2006 model year.

The new RX 450h designation is indicative of the updated Lexus Hybrid Drive, which delivers 295 horsepower and improved fuel economy. The 3.5-liter V6 engine adopts the Atkinson-cycle combustion system, and the 288-volt DC nickel-metal hydride battery pack is lighter and more compact. Available with all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive, the redesigned RX 450h features a new version of the Lexus L-finesse design language while retaining the distinctive RX appearance. The original Lexus RX 300 was the first luxury crossover SUV when it arrived in 1998 as a 1999 model, and the RX 400h followed as the first luxury crossover SUV hybrid.

Also reasonably priced for a celebrity, an RX450 will run in the mid-$40k range, and has a 32-MPG highway mileage rating in front-wheel drive form.





Peugeot 3008 Crossover Spied without any Camouflage

Peugeot 3008
Once again, the forthcoming Peugeot 3008 crossover that will debut at the Geneva motor show this March, has been caught completely undisguised. These photos, courtesy of the members over at 'Forum-Peugeot', reveal that little has changed from Peugeot's Prologue concept car that was unveiled at the Paris show last October. The compact crossover is based on the Peugeot 308 hatchback and it's supposed to combine the practicality of an MPV with off-road ability of an SUV. Just like its most apparent rival, the Nissan Qashqai, the 3008 will be offered in front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions.

Powertrain options will include naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants of the PSA - BMW Group co-developed 1.6-liter petrol engine as well as a wide range of HDi diesel powerplants. The 3008 is expected to hit European dealerships in the second half o 2009.

Mr. Bean's Car

Mr. Bean's Car
Mr. Bean's car, an early 1970s MK IV British Leyland Mini 1000, developed a character of sorts. At first, an orange 1969 Morris Mini MK II (registration RNT 996H) was M Mr. Bean's vehicle of choice, but this was destroyed in a crash off-screen at the end of the first episode. From then on, the car was a 1977 model (registration SLW 287R), lime/yellow in colour with a black bonnet. It made its first appearance in 'The Curse of Mr. Bean".The Mini was central to several antics, such as Mr. Bean getting dressed in it while driving or steering it while sitting in an armchair strapped to the roof.

It also had a number of innovative security measures; Mr. Bean fitted the door with a bolt-latch and padlock, rather than use the lock fitted on the car, and he always removed the steering wheel instead of the key, which formed a running joke in several episodes, at one point deterring a car thief. The car, confused with another demonstration car of the exact same model and colours (but no padlock) (registration ACW 497V), which was crushed by a tank in 'Back to School Mr. Bean", but returned in later episodes, perhaps having actually been the identical demonstration car from that point on.

The Mini is often seen in conflict with a light blue Reliant Regal Supervan III (registration GRA 26K), which will usually get tipped over, crashed into, bumped out of its parking space and so forth. This conflict originated in the first episode, when the three-wheeler held his Mini up on the way to a mathematics exam, and subsequently became a running joke throughout the series.

One of the original Mr. Bean Minis is on display at the Cars of the Star Motor Museum in Keswick, northern England. Both the Mini and the Reliant re-appeared as characters in the animated Mr. Bean cartoons. In the film Mr. Bean's Holiday yet another Mini appears – a lighter yellow/green than the original, registration YGL 572T. Also seen is a French version of his Mini, owned by the character Sabine which wears a Paris registration and is left hand drive. In the animated series his Mini's registration plate number is STE 952R.

Kennedy Pleads Guilty Over Car Crash

Kennedy Pleads Guilty Over Car Crash
Senator Edward Kennedy has pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of a crime and has been sentenced to a two-month suspended jail sentence. The verdict follows a tragic car accident on the island of Chappaquiddick, east of Martha's Vineyard, a week ago in which 29-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne was drowned. Ms Kopechne was a former secretary to Senator Kennedy's late brother Robert.

Senator Kennedy was driving back to Edgartown, the main town on Martha's Vineyard, from a party on Chappaquiddick when his car careered off a narrow bridge and into a creek. He managed to escape from the vehicle but Mary Jo was killed. He did not report the incident to Martha's Vineyard police until the next morning, some eight hours after the accident. Police found her body in the back seat of the overturned car.

TV confession

This evening, the Massachussetts Democrat senator made a speech on national television defending his actions on the night of 19 July. He denied any improper relationship with Mary Jo and said he was not driving under the influence of alcohol. He said he was in a state of shock when he emerged from the creek and confused by "a jumble of emotions". He added that he made several attempts to find Mary Jo by diving down into the water.

He gave up and said he remembers little of how he got back to his hotel in Edgartown except that he swam the narrow channel because there were no night ferries and nearly drowned in the process. He acknowledged that he must now decide whether or not to resign as senator. Mary Jo's bereaved mother said she hoped he would not resign. "I am satisfied with his statement and hope he decides to stay in the Senate," she said from her home in New Jersey.

In Context
Ted Kennedy was the brother of President John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, both assassinated in 1963 and 1968 respectively. He became Massachusetts senator in 1962.

After his brothers' deaths he was widely tipped as the next US President. But the Chappaquiddick incident severely damaged his political reputation. Nevertheless it recovered enough to allow him to continue as senator and advocate reform of public health, education, immigration, housing, capital punishment and abortion laws. He withdrew in 1974 from the presidential race for 1976 and failed in a 1980 primary challenge to Jimmy Carter.
