Will Kimi be tempted by rally offer?

World Rally team boss Malcolm Wilson has offered Kimi a test in one of his team’s Ford Focus cars. Raikkonen has said several times he would be interested in rallying after he quits F1, perhaps in 2010.
“I’d offer him a test,” Wilson told Eurosport. “It’d be a great opportunity for us.”

Australian actress caught up in Transformers star’s crash

You may already have read about Shia LaBeouf’s alleged drink-driving incident, which saw the actor flip his Ford F-150 truck after allegedly (yeah, we have to use the word “alleged” a lot, just to be safe) making a left turn and then being hit by another car.
The authorities are now saying that LaBeouf was not at fault, and that the other driver involved in the prang ran a red light. Still, the star of Transformers and the recent Indiana Jones sequel, was charged with DUI (driving under the influence), so he’s not blameless in this.
Reports say that LaBeouf badly injured his hand in the crash, and required extensive surgery to patch it up. More interesting is the news that Shia’s female passenger was Isabel Lucas (pictured above), currently shooting Transformers 2 with LaBeouf. The not-unpretty Aussie actress suffered minor injuries in the accident.
More pics of Isabel after the jump, and a bonus video (’cause that’s what this post is all about)…

Guess which hell-raising British star matched Clarkson…

Earlier today we told you about fathead Jeremy Clarkson, who admitted to driving 186mph on a public road in Britain. Now we bring you news of another British celeb who likes to speed, only without clothes.
Full marks if you can guess which TV personality - and we use the word personality in the loosest sense - admitted to driving his Ford GT40 at 186mph (the same speed as Clarkson) – but in the nude! Answer after the break…
