No new Top Gear until 2013!

This is absolute rubbish news coming from the U.K. Some say that it just can't be true, but Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson (shown here in a file photo) has confirmed via Twitter that outside of an annual Christmas special, there will be no new Top Gear episodes until sometime in early 2013. Why no new episodes? Well, Jezza is blaming that on Simon Cowell and one of his TV shows. I guess this is what happens when two BBC TV powerhouses go head to head. Or could it be that the Stig has been asked to be a judge on one of Cowell's shows? And on that bombshell, we'll keep vigil and enjoy our hard drive of prior seasons shows.

Finally! Top Gear launches official YouTube page.

There's no denying how popular Top Gear has become worldwide. Through it's monthly magazine and the hugely sucessful TV show. The BBC has a winner. Well now the BBC and YouTube have made an agreement to have exclusive Top Gear TV clips hosted on YouTube.com.

So now you don't have to worry about posting your favorite clip and having it removed. So sit back, relax, and watch The Stig, Clarkson, Hampster, and Captain Slow do what they do best.
