I don't know why Gwen Stefani, George Clooney, and Julia Roberts are in the same Chevy Tahoe, but this video just made the internet a little funnier. They say that the average attention span of an internet troll is a few seconds, there's one exception: putting a new twist on famous songs you grew up with.
James Corden's Carpool Karaoke segments have picked up a lot of steam after successful episodes featuring Adele and Jennifer Lopez. Not only does Gwen Stefani have better rhythm in our book, but she's joined by two of the biggest names in Hollywood (10 years ago), Clooney and Julia Roberts.
To start things off, James Corden perfectly nails his part of karaoke, which is amazing for a guy singing "Don't Speak." My favorite part of the whole episode is when Stefani explains how the lyrics work on "The Sweet Escape." She makes it sound like it's easy, but we know it's not.
The fun actually starts after the actors arrive. When Clooney gets in, Gwen realizes she has red lipstick on her teeth, which she cleans with her finger right as a camera zooms in on her. Perfect! We didn't know this at first, but it seems Julia Roberts is a fan, as she knows the words to the songs and is wearing a Gwen Stefani shirt. Yes, that's right!
From an automotive journalism point of view, there's not much going on in that 7-seater Chevy. Everybody seems comfortable, and there is even more room than in the Range Rover. But GM might have to do another recall because the seatbelts aren't working like they're supposed to. Julia is sliding every which way, and the belt on Clooney is slacking off. If they got involved in a crash and one of them died, it might have been the biggest scandal ever! Fortunately, James Corden has mastered the art of singing and driving at the same time, so CBS has picked the right man for this job.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
