Mean Green Machine: Who says hybrids have to be slow? Not Shelby, that’s for sure. [Wired]

No Smoking: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes it’s a pointlessly complex electronic device. [Crave]

Downgrade: Miranda Kerr switches from Orlando Bloom to the greasy scuzz who first called Lindsay Lohan “firecrotch.” Meanwhile, you are charming, polite, fresh-scrubbed, thin and alone. [Popcrunch]

User Friendly: Man, that Mac guy gets all the starlets—all the starlets. [D-Listed]

Lady Law: Señor ACL picks his favorite men’s style rules set down by Consuelo Castiglioni of Mari. [A Continuous Lean]

Good Idea

Tee Ball

The charitable fashion stunt is a well-worn trick, but we still like to watch it play out from time to time. Our current interest is LENY, a limited-edition tee series to benefit (or is it combat?) global warming.

The tees are currently making the rounds, but we’re more impressed by the lineup, which includes Kate Moss, Lapo Elkann, Waris Ahluwalia, and best of all, the lovely Eva Herzigova, at left. It’s enough to make any man green with envy.

A Green Blur

The Prius routine was so good, it was only a matter of time before carmakers applied it to something with a little more horsepower. And if price is no object, fuel economy gets a whole lot simpler.

McLaren’s P11 uses the same regenerative braking system that gave the Prius its extra MPGs, but now the vehicle in question is doing 0-60 in under four seconds, and topping out over 200mph. Of course, it should also set the lucky owner back more than $200,000, so it’s not all roses, but it’s nice to see hybrid tech make its way into the upper tier of the industry.

We expect to see one in Leo’s garage any day now…
