Shaquille O'Neal was on hand at the 3rd Annual GM All-Car Showdown in L.A. to present his Miami Heat teammate Dwayne Wade with the title of "King of Bling" for his 2006 HUMMER H2 SUT. Twelve celebrities comprised of athletes and actors showed off their respective GM ware that ranged from Cedric the Entertainer's 1952 midnight blue candy Buick B52 to Travis Barker's 2007 Cadillac Escalade.

A $2,500 donation was made in each celebrities name to the charity of their choice and a $10,000 donation will be made to the Dwayne Wade Foundation in his name. The vehicles were competing for several titles including "Best Exterior" won by Ludacris for his 1954 Chevy Bel Air, "Best Interior" won by Snoop Dogg for his 1966 Cadillac Deville (with three chandeliers!), and "Best Old School Car" won by Cedric the Entertainer for his aforementioned '52 Buick 52.

This week, General Motors hosted its GM Ten, which celebrates GM’s vehicles and concepts by pairing them with the fashion and entertainment world.

Twenty-two of GM’s hottest vehicles were on display, many paired with celebrities.

Some of the vehicles and their partners included:

• A Pontiac GTO modified with a 6.3 liter V-8 rated at 500 horsepower, was served by former tennis star Anna Kournikova.
• Actress Carmen Electra heralded the stunning new Pontiac Solstice GXP.
• Cadillac's STS nearly stole the show from 'With the Stars' participant Stacy Keibler (pictured).
• Actress/singer/party grrrl Lindsay Lohan strutted next to the Saturn Sky. Fortunately(?), there was no repeat of the wardrobe malfunction that marked one of Ms. Lohan's earlier appearances within the event.

A full listing of vehicles and some of the attending stars can be found at the link. Proceeds from the GM Ten benefitted various charities.
