As part of its "Bold Moves" campaign, Ford's signed on to sponsor AMC's new western, "Broken Trail." Ford'll be featured in special 30- and 60-second vignettes, logo presence on print ads and some online exposure on AMC's website -- for AMC's Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church Brokeback-wannabee. So what's "Broken Trail" got to do with Ford? Well, here's the "story" from AMC's website: "The time is 1897 and the territory is the west. Veteran cowboy Print Ritter is ready to trade his life on the range for a ranch of his own. All he has to do is run 500 horses from Oregon to Wyoming to earn the money. He recruits...Tom Harte for the ride...it's not long before their path crosses with that of a low-life trafficker and the five innocent Chinese girls he's delivering to a life of prostitution in a lawless mining town." Ah, there we go. It may be a stretch, but it's like an analogy for Ford. Bill Ford is... ...Print Ritter, trying to sell his 500 (thousand) horses (cars) across the United States when he runs into the five Chinese girls (foreign manufacturing) that promise cheap pleasure (but all of the un-cureable diseases in the long run). As for Tom Harte -- well, maybe he's Mark Fields -- or maybe he's just a character from "Brokeback Mountain" who we've yet to identify.

If there's one thing the end of the Cold War taught us, it's not to mess with the Russians unless we happen to have ICBMs or mujahadeen handy. Ford didn't listen when the Rodina's honchos demanded 40% local sourcing for the St. Petersburg-built Focus, and as a result, they're losing what amounts to $700 in tax breaks on every car. Ford denies the allegations, saying that they've met the target, but as a sidenote to the boys and girls in Dearborn, it might help to recruit a few Afghan warlords and stockpile a few Minutemen, just in case things get uglier.

Flame On! A 1954 Ford Farts Flames On Woodward Avenue -- Now That's What We Call An Introduction!

Now this -- this is what we call entertaiment -- Woodward Avenue style! Here's some video Ray snagged last night of what we think is a 1954 Ford Crestline with a Chevy smallblock engine -- but the really cool part? Fire! Fire! Fire! So what, you may ask, was going on in Metro Detroit this weekend that they have cars belching fire? Well, here's the deal -- although Woodward Avenue was always a haven to the cruiser class, it's been institutionalized over the past twelve years as a classic cruiser Mecca with the creation of the annual Woodward Dream Cruise. But what's made all of us car-crazies all the more crazy... ...is the unofficial dream cruisin' that's been going on outside of non-designated Dream Cruise weekends. It's now to the point if it's a summer weekend and even mildly pleasant out -- the cars of the past will be out driving up the old Detroit by-ways -- by the droves. So we've sent our own man from the D out to document the goings-on and report back to us whenever a clear evening allows the classic pistons to be a-pumpin'. You'll be able to follow along all summer on our Summer Woodward Cruise at the mini-site we've set up -- or, if you're RSS-inclined, here's the feed. Ray's first of many reports will be a picture gallery from this weekend you'll be able to see here tomorrow. These reports will culminate with the 12th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise on August 19th -- and you just wait -- we've got some special surprises in store. For the meantime, enjoy the flames of Ford.

37-year Janesville, WI truck-plant worker David Leeder just plopped down nearly 176k on a Ford GT, noting that it's three times what he paid for his house. The 57-year-old autoworker has obviously reaped the benefits of UAW membership. Interestingly enough, the Janesville plant is owned by General Motors. We somehow doubt he'll be driving it to work.

Breaking! Ford Announces Investment In Mexico

Despite the headline above, those boys and girls in Dearborn are playing it awfully close to the chest -- especially given the documents we saw yesterday making it plain the amount of dinero Ford will be investing South of the border. Mark Fields, Ford's president of the Americas is being coy on the subject of a new manufacturing plant, claiming: "We remain committed to a new low-cost manufacturing facility. But we have made no decisions on where it will be located..." This from a press release announcing Mexican investments also discussed in the leaked internal documents. It stands to reason if they've approved these investments, then Ford's approved the rest of the plan and have already decided to build the plant in Mexico. So what's with the posturing? Are folks possibly waiting until after union negotiations are completed next year to announce it? Who knows -- this stuff's confusing enough as it is.

nu.nl/achterklap | Cindy Crawford dost zich uit als Amy Winehouse

AMSTERDAM - Cindy Crawford is afgelopen weekeinde in de voetsporen van Amy Winehouse getreden. Het voormalige supermodel doste zich voor een Halloween-feest van actrice Kate Hudson uit als de zangeres, compleet met opgestoken haar, tatoeages en wit spul onder haar neus. Dat is te zien op foto's die entertainmentwebsite X17 Online plaatste. De 42-jarige Crawford was niet de enige die alle registers had opengetrokken voor het feestje van Hudson. Zo kwamen Courteney Cox en haar man David Arquette als heks en tovenaar, en had Kurt Russell, de stiefvader van Hudson, zich in een pilotenpak gestoken. Sacha Baron Cohen Sacha Baron Cohen en zijn vriendin Isla Fischer kwamen als koe en elfje. Andere gasten waren onder anderen acteur Tobey Maguire en zijn vrouw Jennifer, Red Hot Chili Pepper Anthony Kiedis en Leonardo DiCaprio. Gwen Stefani was met Gavin Rossdale en zoontje Kingston op een ander Halloween-feestje in Los Angeles. De zangeres was uitgedost als spiegelei, terwijl manlief Gavin als bacon verkleed ging.

nu.nl/achterklap | Cindy Crawford wil nooit meer naakt

AMSTERDAM - Cindy Crawford wil nooit meer naakt poseren voor een fotoshoot. Het 41-jarige topmodel heeft nu twee kinderen, en sindsdien staat Crawford anders in het leven, zo zegt ze zelf. Cindy Crawford "Nu ik kinderen heb kijk ik met een heel ander oog naar aanbiedingen", zo zegt Crawford. "Ik heb nu kinderen thuis, en die zitten er niet op te wachten dat hun moeder bloot in een blad staat." "Ik neem mijn werk zeer serieus. Dat klinkt misschien raar, maar op dit punt in mijn leven doe ik enkel nog dingen die ik Ã©cht geweldig vind. Natuurlijk is het leuk om veel geld te verdienen, maar dat is niet meer mijn belangrijkste motivatie." Playboy Crawford poseerde in het verleden onder meer voor het blootblad Playboy. In 1988 ging ze naakt voor het blad. Tien jaar later was ze opnieuw te bewonderen in Playboy. Het supermodel heeft samen met haar partner Rande Gerber een zoon en een dochter, Presley van acht en Kaia van zes.
