You can have your Dreyfusses and Lohans--for our money, George Michael is the Worst Celebrity Driver Ever. This weekend, Michael hit a building after only recently getting his driver's license back from his last scuff with the law. In 2007, Michael was found under the influence of drugs in his Range Rover--in the middle of a London intersection, with the car running. That offense resulted in a two-year driving suspension. Late last summer, Michael was suspected of driving under the influence again, but was released without charges. This time, Michael crashed into a photo-developing shop in...

Dear Sean Stewart: We have a problem. That problem is you. We're not talking about your whiny sense of self-entitlement. (Although please, for the benefit of America's eardrums, STFU.) We're not talking about your "career" as a reality show contestant. (Although we understand that may be as close to reality as you're likely to get.) We're not even talking about your "career" as a model. (Although, like Cher Horowitz would say: AS IF.) Frankly, Sean, we're not even talking about the fact that you were party to the wreck of a sweet, black, $200,000 Bentley Continental GTC. Yes, that would be...
