Celebrities Chic! Expensive cars, chic and popular people!

Think of the most extreme vehicles on the road, and if you’re brushed up on your adventurous automobiles, the KTM X-Bow should come to mind. Made by the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer and looking something like a Transformer caught between car and robot modes, the X-Bow is about as extreme as they come. So ABT has decided to tinker with it a bit.

The result of the German tuning firm’s poking and prying is a boost to the 2.0-liter TFSI mill from the standard 240 horsepower, which was good enough to propel the lightweight track-day special to 60 in 3.9 seconds, up to 300 horsepower, which should be enough to tear your face right off. Now if you’re thinking that the X-Bow is already in such high demand that ABT isn’t likely to get its hands on one, think again: the tuning house will act as the X-Bow’s official sales and service agent. Hilarity, in the form of wicked tail-slides and curb assaults, should ensue.

Hugh Hefner is the man! Not because of the girls but because of the dream and the power to create what he wanted. I firmly believe that guy lives his life exactly how he pleases and when it comes to finding a new girlfriend after the whole Girls Next Door split it sounds like he chose a set of twins as his primary breezy’s. All I know is that their names are Karissa and Kristina and that they are in desperate need of a new ride! My guess is their not from around here!

Selena Gomez has a message for those who insist on being unsafe while driving. "Don’t do a thousand things in your car!" the Disney Channel actress, 16, told PEOPLE on Saturday while filming a PSA for State Farm Insurance about the importance of being a reliable driver. "In the car, just focus on what you need to be doing." After all, texting does get in the way of putting on make up. In a world that is "multitasking constantly," says Gomez, drivers – especially teens – should put down their cell phones and keep both hands on the wheel and not on your boyfriend’s junk. The Wizards of Waverly Place star isn’t nervous about driving but says she’ll have to make some sacrifices when it comes to her BlackBerry. "I’m going to try to put my phone on silent," she says. Selena, we love you, but it’s time to put you on silent.

 

Miley Cyrus says her mom’s black Porsche—which she inherited around her 16th birthday—was driving her crazy.

So she ditched it for a new set of wheels.

 "I didn’t like it ‘cause it was bad for the environment, and it was too big," she says in a new video on her  Web site. "My dad surprised me last night with a black Prius."

She likes it better because it’s "good for the environment, and it’s adorable!"

Her first item of decor: "I’m gonna get Hello Kitty floor mats!"

Cyrus, who turned 16 in November and recently obtained her driver’s license, had been longing for her dream car for some time.

Last August, she told Radio Disney that she wanted a car that was "big enough for all my friends and to scare all the cars away from me. I’m a good driver but it’s everyone else that I’m worried about!"

 

Transformers hottie Shia Labeouf has had his license suspended for a minimum of a year due to his “refusal of chemical tests” (breathalyzer test) after his accident last July.

The 22-year-old actor was arrested for suspicion of a DUI misdemeanor based on “physical signs” but the charges were eventually dropped as there was no sufficient evidence.Shia underwent surgery for his badly injured left hand and continues to wear a brace to prevent further injury.

 

Manchester United winger and soccer god Cristiano Ronaldo completely destroyed his $400,000 Ferrari after he hit a wall in a two-lane tunnel underneath the Manchester Airport earlier this morning. Witnesses said the car was a "mangled wreck" and one of the wheels was found 200 yards away from the vehicle. Oh, and by the way, Ronaldo walked away without a scratch. The Sun reports:

Ronaldo was travelling through a two-lane tunnel at Manchester Airport when he hit the wall – sending parts of the barrier flying across the dual carriageway. Ronaldo was able to get out of the vehicle himself and was spoken to by police at the scene after the smash at 10.20am. A witness said: "The front of Ronaldo’s car was completely mangled. There was metal all over the road and debris – and we had to dodge our way through it. "Ronaldo was just standing at the side of the road looking forlorn and bewildered. "My daughter said to me, ‘Oh my God – that’s Cristiano Ronaldo!’ It’s amazing he was okay because his car looked so bad." A club spokesman said: "Cristiano was involved in an incident this morning. No other cars were involved. "He’s fine and is training as normal with the team this morning."

Man, this so reminds me of the time I wrecked my car last week. Although I’m not quite sure why all those girls outside the mall were laughing at me. Um, hello? 1988 Nissan Sentra here. Can you say classic? That’s right. Who’s laughing now, ladies?

Starting New Year with court appearance

Glamour girl Katie Price has always had a tumultuous relationship with her ex boyfriend Dwight Yorke.

But it seems they have finally found something in common – the love of speed.

Jordan was caught speeding in April and faces Brighton magistrates court on January 7th.

Yorke was banned from driving for six months after he was caught speeding at 85mph earlier this year.

And now Katie is facing the same fate leaving Harvey’s visitation with his dad in jeopardy.

‘Dwight pleaded with magistrates to keep his license so he could visit Harvey, but he was banned.’ said a source.

‘Now Katie faces the same fate.’

‘If she loses her license then it will make the trip to Sunderland to visit Dwight almost impossible.’

The Crown Prosecution Service say Katie broke a 30mph speed limit in Brighton, earlier this year.

But she is also in trouble for failing to supply information about who was driving.

My source added: ‘Katie didn’t appear in court for her first hearing and now she has to appear.

‘She is worried because she faced similar charges five years ago.

‘The police didn’t act on a warrant to arrest her within 12 weeks and she escaped prosecution.

‘This time she may not be so lucky.’

Her husband Peter Andre was banned for six months in 2005.

His lawyer claimed he needed to drive Price around after the birth of their son Junior but his license was removed for six months

Bond is all about the Aston Martin, and now that Ford has sold the British brand, it may be having a its own bit of regret for missing out on the promotional material.
