The TMZ of car blogs: Celebrity Car Parade
That would be Hayden Panettiere from "Heroes" and her Porsche Cayenne
Did you know our parent company AOL also owns TMZ, the hottest celebrity gossip blog on the web? If Autoblog and TMZ were to mate and birth a baby blog, it would be Celebrity Car Parade, a very new site started by Autoblog reader Elliot Darvick who loves to see what Hollywood is driving. Who cares if Brit's a bad mom? We want to know what car she's strapping the child seat into. Has Paris turned the corner? Don't care unless she hits a parked car in the process.
We totally dig CCP, and it's not just because Darvick drives an Oldsmobile Alero (as does Hairspray lead actor Zac Efron). We're on board because we like seeing what kind of taste celebrities have in cars. Turns out, some don't have any while others could pick out our dream garage. A few words of advice for Darvick to ensure CCP becomes successful and stays that way – post as often as possible and be careful you don't get sued for using a pic you're not supposed to.

Ugh - C list celebrities. Since when did Autoblog get into shameless cross promotion?

I don't see it as cross promotion necessarily, though I suppose it is. We're just really impressed by readers who pick up a digital pen and start blogging for themselves, regardless the subject. As a matter of fact, people are always asking how they can join our team and write for Autoblog, and the quickest way is to do what Elliot is doing, which is start blogging on your own to show us what you can do. Otherwise, we've never met Elliot before and have no interest in whether or not CCP succeeds, we just get behind people who get into blogging.

A C-list celebrity who's pocketed $2+ million dollars by the age of 18.
Don't hate. Appreciate.

What is she, like maybe 4ft 6in tall?
And I'll bet she yaks it up and texts on the cell phone while driving Porsche's take on a 1956 Buick.

I don't. We don't need to see low-class celebs with an IQ of 20 driving cars they shouldn't be in.

Hawt? Bland, in my book - just another standard-issue teenage B-list celebrity famous for nothing of any substance. Pleasant looking, I suppose, but in the same way as a beige Camry - inoffensive and utterly forgettable.

Ms. Panettiere can drive my car any day of the week. Of course, she may have to sit on a phone book or two to be able to see over the steering wheel.
