A former celebrity recruiter for the Church of Scientology says it was ‘really huge’ that Apatow publicly cracked jokes about Scientology and referred to Cruise’s reported estrangement from his 16-year-old daughter US actor Tom Cruise leaves his hotel carrying daughter Suri for her gymnastics class on July 17, 2012 in New York, NY. (MEHDI TAAMALLAH/AFP/GettyImages) When Judd Apatow roasted Tom Cruise about his Scientology beliefs at the Directors Guild of America Awards Feb. 18, he demonstrated that people in Hollywood may have become less afraid to publicly criticize the actor or the controversial, cult-like organization, a former Scientology executive said.…

Lambo upped the Performante’s power and sharpened its handling to produce the most hardcore SUV on the planet. Though the concept of driving an SUV on a track might have seemed outlandish only a decade ago, Lamborghini’s latest Performante doubles down on the already potent Urus platform with a more aggressive and wider body, more power, and a pivot to steel springs in place of the original super SUV’s smooth air suspension system. The combination prompted Lambo to introduce the Urus Performante to the world on track at Vallelunga, in Italy, with a bit of circuit driving and a stint doing some rally…

The all-new Ford Mustang Dark Horse boasts everything necessary to become the contemporary muscle car benchmark for street and track performance. It’s difficult to imagine what the automotive landscape would look like without the segment-defining Ford Mustang. An American automotive royalty with one of the most loyal cult followings, Ford has done well to reinvent and redefine its legendary pony car over the last six decades – no wonder it’s one of the best-selling muscle cars ever. But just as we thought the standard 2024 Ford Mustang GT was the most exhilarating yet, Ford unveiled an even more sinister top-of-the-range iteration from its stables. The…

The modern Road Runner muscle car starts a new era for the iconic American automaker and takes on the Dodge Challenger as a custom render. With muscle cars being one of the most popular car genres today, it makes sense that digital artists want to improve upon these existing models. Or better yet, the artists can make car models that don’t even exist with the use of technology and a bit of imagination. HotCars’ very own digital rendering artist Rostislav Prokop has blessed enthusiasts with another vision of the future’s past. His recent works include such gems as the Mercedes G-Wagon Hot Rod…

Mansory’s latest Mercedes-AMG G63 SUV stars a tasteful build with a 2-door coupe body, suicide doors, and 900 horsepower under the hood. Mansory is one of the best German car tuning companies, with virtually limitless tuning options. Following the launch of the sinister two-door Lamborghini Urus last month and some insane builds last year, the Munich-based master is back with another Mercedes-AMG G63 Wagon-based build. And this time, it’s richer, brawnier, costlier, and more exclusive. Built from the ground up, this G63 is special, and Mansory will only build eight such SUVs under the “One of One” ideology. Of course, Mansory will let all eight buyers showcase…

From the importance of having a good support system to learning to “relinquish control,” here’s everything Katie Holmes has said about parenting daughter Suri, whom she welcomed with ex-husband Tom Cruise in 2006 PHOTO: KEVIN MAZUR/GETTY For Katie Holmes, “motherhood means everything.” Holmes welcomed her first and only child, daughter Suri Cruise, on April 18, 2006, in Los Angeles with then-husband Tom Cruise. The Dawson’s Creek actress and Mission Impossible star first met the year prior and got engaged after a whirlwind two-month courtship, tying the knot with their newborn by their side in Italy in November 2006. After five years of marriage, they split in 2012. While Holmes has kept…

The Indiana Jones director believed that Cruise’s antics in the run up to War of the Worlds being released cost the film $30million Cruise would gush about his then-girlfriend Katie Holmes, with a now infamous clip of him jumping on a sofa with Oprah going viral Both men appear to have put their differences behind them after embracing during the Oscars lunch last week Steven Spielberg’s glowing praise of Top Gun: Maverick, has shone a spotlight on the bitter 20 year feud between the Hollywood icons. Spielberg, 76, praised Cruise at a recent Oscars luncheon, gushing ‘You saved Hollywood’s a***,…

With 919 horsepower, improved exhaust and stiffer suspension Novitec turn the dial up on McLaren’s extreme roadster. Car tuner Novitec takes a look at the ultra-rare McLaren Elva. Novitec has a reputation for making already brilliant supercars better with improved stance, a bit more power, and a louder exhaust. Novitec now offers this for the McLaren Elva, the windshield-less and roof-less hypercar from Woking, England was one of the past few years’ ultimate track toys. With siblings found in the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, and Aston Martin Speedster the Elva formed the holy trinity of historically inspired roadsters of the modern era. McLaren says their…

This render concept provides a large, spacious sedan and big power up front for effortless cruising, with inspiration from modern premium sedans. The Chevrolet Impala gets its name from an antelope native to Africa, a slender and delicate-looking wild herbivore. In contrast, Chevy’s seventh-generation Impala sedan wasn’t delicate in its design – which was like the Caprice – but it was still a sleek thing by today’s standards. That rounded front end, spacious interior and long rear trunk is iconic, and it’s also the kind of shape we probably won’t see again although the Impala nameplate ran until around 2020. In 2023…

Katie Holmes was pictured alongside her rarely seen daughter Suri, 16, shared with ex-husband Tom Cruise as the pair headed on the travels for Christmas Katie Holmes was snapped alongside her rarely-seen daughter Suri, 16, shared with ex-husband Tom Cruise while on their travels this Christmas. The Dawson’s Creek actress, 44, looked expressive next to her smiling daughter as they were pictured in Newark Airport near their home in New York City. They were wrapped up warm in big coats as Katie was seen sporting a large festive-coloured scalf alongside her bright face covering. The outing comes amid Katie’s big return to the New York…

The Ford GT is no more, but an electric version of the supercar would bring bundles of power, and keep the iconic Ford supercar alive. The idea of an electric Ford GT is something we explored in a render last year, thanks to our very own Timothy Adry Emmanuel. But with virtually every car in the world going electric in some form, it would make perfect sense. One of the most iconic names in Ford’s history would make its return, while also showcasing the power of the future. It might never happen, but we think it definitely should. An Electric Ford GT Would…

Here’s how the Mercedes SL55 AMG provides luxury and performance to reach 200 MPH at an affordable price Owning a car that can reach the speed of 200 mph is a significant accomplishment. It represents the ultimate achievement in the world of automobiles, elevating your vehicle from a mere mode of transportation to a symbol of status. In the past, only the Ferrari F40 was capable of reaching this impressive speed, but in recent years, numerous manufacturers have produced their own 200-mph cars for a reasonable amount. If you’re wondering about the cost of reaching the coveted 200 mph speed, we’ve got you…

Tom Cruise revealed that he wasn’t close to playing Iron Man before the role went to Robert Downey Jr., during a recent interview on the Phase Zero podcast. The 60-year-old Top Gun actor has been associated with an oft-repeated, yet evidently untrue rumor, that he was nearly cast as Tony Stark before the 2008 movie Iron Man. ‘Not close,’ he said during the interview. ‘I love Robert Downey Jr., and I can’t imagine anyone else doing that role, and I think it’s perfect for him.’ Cruise doesn’t seem to be speaking modestly either as he isn’t the first person to dispel the rumor. Doctor Strange…

While very unlikely, if Lamborghini makes a pickup truck, it would probably look like this. At one point, Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini wanted to supply a military vehicle, which they codenamed the Cheetah, mostly to the oil industry for exploration and production purposes. They even trialed it for the US Army, but the Army itself never actually tried it out. After this plan fell through for Lambo, they simply decided to put together a production SUV with what they learned while developing the Cheetah. The resulting LM002 was a truly ridiculous SUV; it used the V12 from the Countach, it had locking differentials, permanent…

The second-gen Ford GT started life based on a Mustang as Project Silver. We’ve turned the tables in this mid-engine Mustang on steroids! The story of how the second-generation 2017 Ford GT came to be is pretty wild. It was first planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Ford Le Mans victory with the original Ford GT40. The idea began a few years earlier, with a race car based on the humble Ford Mustang. When Project Silver as it was known was killed off by top brass, a group of engineers went rogue and came up with the mid-engine formula. It…

Tom Cruise was honored with the 2023 David O. Selznick Achievement Award at the Producers Guild of America Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday night. The award is the PGA’s highest honor in film, acknowledging a producer or team for exceptional filmography. The 60-year-old superstar joins an illustrious pantheon of previous honorees that includes Steven Spielberg, Mary Parent, Barbara Broccoli, David Heyman, Brian Grazer, and Kevin Feige.

Before Supra and 2000GT, there was a Toyota that started the “fun” Japanese sports car revolution – the Sports 800. We give it a befitting revival! Toyota has given us some of the most iconic JDM sports cars ever made. From the beautiful 2000GT to the legendary Mk4 Supra and the humble hoot in the GR86. But there is one car without which all of these icons wouldn’t exist – Toyota Sports 800. The 1960s S800 was Toyota’s first-ever sports car. It was a Kei car confined to Japan, and so the rest of the world didn’t get to enjoy this gem.…

Tom Cruise appeared as one of the special guests on Friday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The 60-year-old performer, ‘whose Ray-Bans and body oil saved the movie business,’ according to Kimmel, used his time on the program to promote the production of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. At one point the A-lister admitted to watching his own movies in the theater, telling Kimmel: ‘I go opening weekend. I love seeing movies that are made for the screen on the big screen.’ The actor, who recently flew himself to London, also spoke about working on Top Gun: Maverick, as well as well as his reunion with…

The Veilside brand became more famous due to Tokyo Drift. But their history didn’t start with making over-the-top body kits for JDM cars. Many people will agree that The Fast and Furious saga took a huge turn after they released the fourth installment. That’s why many car enthusiasts consider the first three as a huge influence on the entire car tuner scene. Besides Paul Walker’s striking orange Toyota Supra and silver Skyline R34 GT-R, one car definitely stood out from the series. Han’s orange Mazda RX-7 grabbed the attention of viewers as it was something new during the rise of the car tuner…

Believe it or not, this one-of-a-kind concept car changed Range Rover’s design language forever. Alongside afternoon tea, and fish and chips, Land Rover sits at the very top of things most British. The brand has a rich history steeped in military service and royal transportation. The Range Rover has been synonymous with wealth and luxury for many years. It’s hard to look at a Range Rover and mistake it for anything else, the brand’s design language is tight and thorough. However, there was a time when these cars were not as sleek and luxurious but more utilitarian and rugged. Land Rover has…

Does Suri look more like Katie or Tom? Katie Holmes has proved that Suri Cruise is her mini-me. The actress celebrated her 44th birthday on December 18th, and she shared an adorable throwback on Instagram to celebrate. Holmes is a little girl in the pic and she looks just like Suri! “Thank you for all of the kindness on my birthday. I do love being a December baby,” she wrote in the caption. Suri is now 16, but she rocked the same haircut as Holmes in the pic when she was little. The NYC teen has been spotted out and about, occasionally rocking…

Forged 4×4’s modified TRX pumps out 742 HP and has the best mods money can buy. The best part is it’s being given away for free! There’s something just a little unbelievable about a 6,800 pound pickup truck being able to out accelerate sports cars. But the Hellcat-powered 2022 Ram 1500 TRX does exactly that. The TRX’s 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds claimed, and 3.7 seconds as tested makes it one of the quickest pickup trucks in the world. And California-based Forged 4×4 has given it more power! The modified Ram 1500 TRX Level 2, named Cerberus, now puts out 742 hp thanks to…

The 2024 Aston Martin Valhalla will be a 937 hp beast leaving the Ferrari SF90 in its dust. However, Aston Martin will only produce 999 cars. At the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, Aston Martin revealed a particularly exquisite concept car that drew the event’s spotlight. A couple of years later, the British manufacturer provided a glimpse of the concept’s production version that’s ready to take on the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, the Aston Martin ‘Valhalla’. The futuristic coupe fueled much excitement among fans of the automaker, and a glance at the specs justifies the hype. Despite being a supercar, the Valhalla will exhibit the boundary-pushing…
