Travis Barker
Cadillac Escalade
# of Kids: 2
Why do celebrity parents drive SUVs? Two words: Birthday parties. After his son received enough gifts to stock a large orphanage, Travis Barker filled an entire Escalade transporting the gifts home. Need your own gift idea? Buy your kid a baby Escalade like the one Britney Spears' son Sean Preston drives

Brooke Burke
Cadillac Escalade
# of Kids: 2
With four kids, Brooke Burke and her husband might need to shell out for the extended version of the Escalade, the ESV. Or a bus. Relative to the money it takes to raise a child these days, the cost of springing for the extended version of the Escalade is pretty much a penny in a mall fountain

Will Smith
Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
# of Kids: 3
Here you have Will Smith, family man extraordinaire, pulling up to the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards in a Mercedes-Benz GL with his daughter in tow. If this isn't a ringing endorsement for the GL as a family vehicle, I don't know what is. Even the Fresh Prince would agree that the GL is a fly ride, kids or no kids.

Denise Richards
Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
# of Kids: 3
Certainly Denise Richard's kids must love the GL's optional dual 8" flat-panel-LCD screens, perfect for watching Dora the Explorer, Hannah Montana, Starship Troopers, etc. Or maybe Denise likes the GL's 16 cubic feet of cargo space...for transporting her 11 dogs! Who knew Denise Richards was the canine equivalent of your block's crazy cat lady?

Sheryl Crow
Subaru Outback
# of Kids: 1
Smell that? It's diapers, babies, strollers, and station wagons…also known as Sheryl Crow's life (and coincidentally the ingredients in a new fragrance from Martha Stewart, Motherhood). I know Crow owns a farm down in Tennessee, so it's possible she was just borrowing this Subaru Outback station wagon for the day while in New York.

What does fame buy? Luxury cars!
Celebrities drive luxury cars, we know, shocker. Take Sylvester Stallone, who makes sure the "Italian Stallion" theme applies to what he drives too. But do you know which socialite painted her Bentley pink (okay, you probably do). Or did you hear which celebrity bought a new Jaguar XF after breaking up with said socialite?

Bentley Continental GT/GTC
Bentley's have always had a luxurious cache, but historically they have been favored by some wrinkly old British-power broker who goes around harassing people for Grey Poupon (yeah, we know it was a Rolls-Royce in that commercial, but run with it). With the Continental GT and GTC convertible variant, Bentley is appealing to a whole new class, particularly the loaded elite of young Hollywood.
Luxury Fun Fact: It can take 14 hides to craft the luxurious trim in a Continental GT.
Yours for only: $175,900

Victoria Beckham
Bentley Continental GTC
While the "B" on the trunk stands for Bentley, it might as well stand for Beckham. Victoria is known to heavily customize her rides, and this Bentley Continental GTC is no different. DUB customized it for her with color-matched rims (complete with VB initialed center caps) and black-out chrome detailing.
Has also been seen driving: Porsche 911, Cadillac Escalade, Lamborghini Murcielago

Kim Kardashian
Bentley Continental GTC
Kim Kardashian is famous for a lot of random things, like being the God-daughter of O.J. Simpson, or dating NFL star Reggie Bush. She also drives a Bentley Continental GTC, customized by Platinum Motor Sports. Take note of the body kit integrated into the back bumper and the color-matched black rims (also complete with initialed center caps, ala Victoria Beckham).
Has also been seen driving: Range Rover, Bentley Continental Flying Spur

Paris Hilton
Bentley Continental GT
Bentley already offers many wonderful colors out of the factory like Barnato Green, Silver Lake, and my personal favorite, St. James Red. Word is West Coast Customs of Pimp My Ride fame specially mixed this paint job for Paris and aptly named it "Inheritance Pink", not to be confused with the lighter shade "Daddy's Girl Pink" or the infamous "I Told You I Danced To Pay For College But I Really Spent It All On This Car's Paint Job Pink."

BMW 7 Series
The 7 Series is your diplomat level BMW. A diplomat level car is one where you would be totally satisfied driving yourself if you had too, but you'd be equally happy jumping in back after a long day talking geopolitics at Davos. Packed with the best technology BMW has to offer, the 7 Series is a rolling showcase for what to expect from BMW. There is a new BMW 7 Series coming out in 2009 that we are really keen on checking out.
Luxury Fun Fact: The new 7 series features a night vision system that incorporates individual pedestrian detection and notification.

Dina Lohan
BMW 745Li
A minivan for a Lohan? Please. Big ups to Dina Lohan, Lindsay's mom, on her Stormtroopered BMW 7 Series. We will say that if she was stopping to ask for directions (and using the BMW iDrive system to work the Navi you almost have to), we probably would have stayed away from the dude with a gun. Then again, those Lohans like living on the edge.
Has also been seen driving: Inevitably there was a minivan somewhere along the way.

John Lithgow
BMW 750Li
John Lithgow has been successfully acting since 1980, so it's probably his right at this point in his career to demand that a black BMW 7 Series is waiting for him outside all rehearsals. Is it possible he would be just as happy seeing a hybrid waiting for him too? This voiceover he did for PBS on how plug-In hybrids work would make you think so.
