Stars and Their Cars

editorial.autos.msn.com — Us Weekly magazine might tell you that stars are "just like us." But, in reality, they aren't. We find they tend to drive better cars — much better cars, ranging from the absurd to the eco-conscious to the practical-chic. Here we highlight 10 coveted, cutting-edge or just plain weird rides and the celebs who own them.

  • chooochooo, on 07/17/2009, -0/+18What did she do to that beautiful car? PINK, cmon! Are you serious?!
  • Anaujiram89, on 07/17/2009, -3/+17Dear MSN:
    The Veyron is not the fastest production car anymore. Please stop going Top Gear and denying that fact
  • inactive, on 07/17/2009, -0/+14what a random celeb line up
  • wdw25, on 07/17/2009, -0/+13I disagree with everything you have just said.
  • Anand999, on 07/17/2009, -1/+12Beyonce's '59 Rolls Royce doesn't count as old?
  • bike4ever, on 07/17/2009, -0/+9Not all of these stars are American
  • skidork, on 07/17/2009, -1/+9I would pay a million bucks for a new paint job for that Bentley.
  • alpha88, on 07/17/2009, -1/+9It's more obnoxious and in your face about the owner being rich.
  • themastersb, on 07/17/2009, -0/+8The GM EcoJet looks like the average car in Fallout 3
  • iNiz, on 07/17/2009, -5/+13I ***** love Will.I.Am
  • Joest23, on 07/17/2009, -2/+9This. The SSC Aero have been the fastest production car in the world hitting 257 MPH, which, SSC said that it could have gone faster if the road had been longer. Give the damn company what they deserve, and that is the recognition that their car is the fastest.
  • alpha88, on 07/17/2009, -4/+11Who the ***** is Pharrel Williams and why does he have enough money for an SLR McLaren?
  • firesphotons, on 07/17/2009, -0/+7Paris Hilton, the "lucky sperm club" poster woman...
  • EdgarG8, on 07/17/2009, -0/+6That bad ass cobra those Jonas Bros. have might be the only manly thing they got going for them. With the exception of that pink abomination they're all really cool rides.
  • jseres, on 07/17/2009, -0/+6He has enough money because he is a highly successful producer. Just look at some of the songs he has made beats for and you can tell why he has enough money to buy an SLR.
  • Mithivh, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5May not be rich forever? They have a bajillion dollars.
  • Ph0X, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5Simon... Simon... Simon... driving a 1000 Horsepower car.
  • chaaree, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5paris will have the last laugh when you test positive for hepatitis
  • Joest23, on 07/17/2009, -1/+6Why have records at all if you're just going to say 'oh, we don't like you, you're not going to get the record'? That's hypocritical. The Aero went faster than the Veyron. Grow up and face the fact that it is the faster car. Also, what does it being American have to do with anything?

    Also, according to Jarod Shelby (The designer of the car and the owner and founder of SSC) '50 cars a year will be produced'.

  • snafflepaffle, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5Where's Clint Eastwood and his beat up old vega or whatever it is he rides?
  • xsecretfiles, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5Is he gay?
  • tdclark23, on 07/17/2009, -0/+4Since I was a kid the Ferrari 250 GTO has made my heart beat faster.
  • Namco, on 07/17/2009, -1/+5Jay Leno's EcoJet wins, hands down. Watch past the 6 minute mark when they fire it up: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/cars/ecojet_shell.sh ...
  • joshuaer, on 07/17/2009, -0/+4What rich actors buy nice cars? when did this start happening, what next fancy parties that honor the work they have done!
  • SweetDaddyD, on 07/17/2009, -0/+4Ralph Lauren's car collection is huge. Including a Bugatti Veyron. And there are several reports that he is actually super cool about showing it to people that follow him around to see it and letting them check it out.
  • gl77, on 07/17/2009, -3/+7America loves materialism.
  • groo68, on 07/17/2009, -0/+4If your not going to be rich forever enjoy it while you can, don't just live like you will be forced too after you stop working.
  • Vodd9, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3And still not a match for his ego.
  • BigE89, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3He's a producer and occasional rapper. Wikipedia him.
  • Cynder207, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3What about Paul Mitchell's Wifes pink Zonda?

  • blackinthmiddle, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3...said Mike Tyson and MC Hammer before losing their loot.
  • Vodd9, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3Is it really that unexpected from her?
  • drifter, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3That's not even Lauren Conrad's Audi R8, An Audi dealer gave it to her and said as long as she gets photographed atleast X amount of times in it, then she can drive it for free. It's basically a lease that can be taken away at anytime.
  • blackinthmiddle, on 07/17/2009, -1/+4Just because you don't know who he is doesn't mean he's not successful, with your snide "Who the ***** is Pharrel Williams" comment. To add to what others have already said, why not just look up Snoop Dogg's "Drop it like it's hot" video. He's in that one.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GYSei66Rh4

    He's also in Mystikal's "Shake your ass" video

    Rap may not be your cup of tea, but if you go to any club, you're sure to hear (because it has a beat and people can dance to it) and it sells in commercials the world over.
  • nipterink, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3haha, i like how the phantoms were not covered
  • ph0replay, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3Jeremy Clarkson will hold you down while Richard Hammond nubbles away at your limbs until you die.
  • phyx726, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3Something about Lauren Conrad driving an Audi R8 scares me.
  • awicks89, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3for some strange reason the EcoJet Car seems like an oxymoron
  • Jektal, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3First he made some cool music, then he punched some whiny douchebag, and now he drives a Tesla?

    Nice.
  • stealth45, on 07/17/2009, -2/+4I was in Manhattan about 2 years ago. The people I was with picked out a garage to leave the car while we walked around. Right after we got out of our car, one of the garage attendants was like "Check this out" and pointed to a covered car next to 2 Rolls Royce Phantoms. He pulled the cover off to reveal Beyonce's blue Bentley.
  • crash331, on 07/17/2009, -0/+2There's a video somewhere of RL talking to some folks about his Veyron. He just stopped on the side of the road and had a chat.
  • pstroll, on 07/17/2009, -0/+2Ralph Lauren's garage http://sportscardigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2008 ...
  • bike4ever, on 07/17/2009, -0/+2Misleading showing just Leno's EcoJet. They could have had a 1000 page (one per) article detailing all of his cars.
  • mothy, on 07/17/2009, -1/+3Can someone post a mirror that has all the pics on one page?
