Celebrity style: bulletproof cars

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


For whatever reason, Tom Cruise decided that his fleet of luxury vehicles weren't safe enough. So he decided to get them all decked out with the latest in armored technology. Tom's fleet is now equipped with bulletproof glass, bombproof armor, and his drivers have all been trained in self defense. Is Tom Cruise cracking up? Or is this the new hot trend in pimping celebrity rides?

It's easy to imagine lots of celebs all of the sudden waking up and realizing that they're too important to be riding around in some un-armored hooptie. Then, all of the sudden, stars are wearing body armor on the red carpet. We wonder if this newfound love of safety is creeping Katie Holmes out at all? Does she trust his psychic Scientology powers? According to an insider:
"It sounds like Tom has taken a page out of one of his action movies. A-list celebrities know they can't be too careful. Tom's vehicles look perfectly normal, but in reality they are more like armoured trucks"

Celebrity Obsession: Katie Holmes

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


She's like a real life character in the world's craziest soap opera. Her marriage is a total sham and she's having a mental breakdown right in front of our eyes -- but we'll be damned if she doesn't look good through it all.

Going from fashion victim to having one of the most enviable wardrobes on the planet, we've all been watching as Katie Holmes was brainwashed by Scientology matured and grew up in the public eye.

Did Will join a cult?

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

When Will Ferrell rolled up to the premiere of his new film Semi-Pro donning this bizarre outfit, it caused quite a wave of confusion. Now, in the aftermath, everyone seems to be trying to come up with reasons why he would wear such a freaking weird ensemble.

I'm going to have to go with the theory that he borrowed the suit from Charles Barkley, who got sick of wearing turtlenecks and sleeveless suits in the mid 90s. It's all a big inside joke for Will, who is getting a kick out of trying to pull it off without breaking character.

This could be wishful thinking, but as long as Will's ensemble was meant to be a mockery of NBA off-the-court fashion, I can rest easy knowing that he's still the weird guy he's always been. If not, I'm going to have to believe that he's joined some kind of Scientology cult -- or worse. Look at the way those pants swallow up his shoes. Classic.

Scientologist style: Get the look

Filed under: Celebrities with Style



As anyone who saw Tom Cruise's freaky, possessed-by-aliens recruiting video is well aware, there's a hot new world religion -- and it's stealing money from followed by an ever-increasing list of top notch celebrities. Unfortunately, some of you may be constrained by the rules of your boring, old-school faith (or just your sanity) to fully embrace the ideals of Scientology, and accept that aliens are coming to whisk you away to magical land of intergalactic fancy. But never fear, with a few simple modifications to your appearance, you can get in on the Scientology trend by dressing the part.

Step 1: Look sharp. From Tom Cruise, to John Travolta, to Danny Masterson, every member of the "Church" of Scientology is dressed to impress the cosmos whenever they're in public. That means well-trimmed facial fuzz (or clean-shaven), neatly-cropped (or at least well-kept) hair, and fitted, no-frills clothing. Remember, you're on a mission to keep humanity from destroying itself -- look like you care, please.

Step 2: Grow a porn star stache This may only apply to younger members of the church, as senior members like Tom Cruise and John Travolta have opted to shave. That said, it's possible that once you reach a certain status, you're required to drink weird blue liquid from Neptune that prevents your body from producing facial hair, and thus younger members don 70s cop mustaches out of respect for their furless elders. But that's only a theory.

Step 3: Cultivate a creepy, "I might be a robot" expression Potentially a challenge, considering you, unlike your celebrity counterparts, probably aren't a trained actor. Yet, it's essential that you master the Scientology stare if you're going to be believable. You're looking for big, warm smiles coupled with a dead, yet determined look in your eye that suggests there's someone else behind the wheel.

Master these steps, and you'll be the envy of your friends/the galaxy at large.
