They might  be as rich as Bill Gates on one hand or as desperate as George Bush  (after presidency) on the other hand. They live a life of their own  likes and dislikes. Quite choosy about the life styles, stars are way  different from the normal people’s choices. See the top 10 stars of  Hollywood with their own chosen fantastic cars. 10 – Pharrel Williams and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Pharrel-Williams-and-the-Mercedes-Benz-SLR-McLaren.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Multitasker Pharrel Williams — one-half of the producing duo the  Neptunes, front man for the band N.E.R.D and co-creator of the fashion  lines Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream — is known for his distinct  personal style at least as much as for his musical prowess, and said  style extends to his rides. Not only does he have a  $455,000 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLarenwith a supercharged 5.5L V8 engine  parked in his driveway, he also counts a $1 million, carbon-fiber,  Formula 1-inspired Ferrari Enzo(top speed: 221 mph) for his daily  errands about town. 9 – Lauren Conrad and her Audi R8 <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Lauren-Conrad-and-her-Audi-R8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Lauren Conrad is a TV star from the MTV shows “Laguna Beach” and “The  Hills.” While you can easily say her roles lack, well, substance, you  cannot say the same for Conrad’s ride. It is full of it, in a good way.  She rides around Los Angeles in the incredible Audi R8 supercar. The  midmounted monster — which goes zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, delivers  317 lb-ft of torque and has a top speed of 187 mph — is also favored by  macho types such as English soccer ace Robbie Fowler and actor David  Hasselhoff. So, while seeing a tiny, blond, SoCal reality TV star  tooling around in this powerhouse is a bit disconcerting, it’s also,  dare we say it, totally awesome! It sure beats Paris Hilton’s  cringe-inducing pink Bentley. 8 – Nick Jonas and his vintage 1968 Ford Mustang Cobra <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/1968-Ford-Mustang-Cobra.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> While the Jonas Brothers’ music may appeal to the tween girl set, the  car Nick Jonas drives comes straight out of a ZZ Top video. As soon as  he turned 16, the Disney-produced guitar player and vocalist was spotted  cruising around his Toluca Lake, Calif., neighborhood in a shiny black  1968 Ford Mustang Cobra with white racing stripes. Although we doubt the  young crooner spent hours rehabilitating the classic muscle car getting  grease under those manicured nails, we have to give him credit for one  badass ride. 7 – Reese Witherspoon and the GMC Yukon Hybrid <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Reese-Witherspoon-GMC-Yukon-Hybrid.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> For at least one nod to practicality on this list, we turn to “Walk the  Line” actress Reese Witherspoon and her vehicle of choice. Rather than  the ever-popular Toyota Prius favored by Hollywood’s eco warriors, or  the MINI Cooper(a hit with “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart), this petite  thespian and mother drives to and fro in a massive GMC Yukon Hybrid.  And while the SUV’s gas mileage is not exactly at Prius levels (it gets  about 21 mpg on the highway), it sports a monster V8 engine and can tow  up to 6,000 pounds. What a famous Hollywood actress commanding $15  million to $20 million per picture needs with that kind of power is  unclear, but it’s pretty cool nonetheless. 6 – will.i.am and the Tesla Roadster <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/will.i.am-and-the-Tesla-Roadster.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> While Fergie is probably the most recognized member of the Black Eyed  Peas, will.i.am is definitely the most politically minded, as proven by  his bizarre “hologram” in a ratings stunt with CNN’s Anderson Cooper  after the 2008 presidential election. Nonetheless, the musician puts his  environmental politics into action with his choice of car, the Tesla  Roadster. Based on the super-sporty Lotus Elise, this pure electric  racer does zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. It develops 248 horsepower and  gets 244 miles per charge. It’s so sporty, in fact, that another famous  musician and Tesla owner — Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers —  has said that it makes his Porsche feel “like a golf cart.” 5 – Beyoncé and the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Beyonc%C3%A9-and-the-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Normally, music superstar Beyoncé Knowles is spotted with the type of  entourage that suggests she doesn’t spend too much time actually driving  herself anywhere. And that’s a shame, considering that on her 25th  birthday, her then-boyfriend (now husband), rapper and music mogul  Jay-Z, surprised her with a 1959Rolls-Royce convertible. No definite  details as to model — though as a convertible it’s most likely a Silver  Cloud. Regardless, it’s hard to argue with a classic luxury automobile  reported to be worth a cool million bucks as a “congratulations for  being one year older” gift. 4 – Simon Cowell and the Bugatti Veyron <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Simon-Cowell-and-the-Bugatti-Veyron.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Who knew being obnoxious on overhyped network TV contests was so  lucrative? One look at the Bugatti Veyron that “American Idol”  judge Simon Cowell ponied up $1.7 million for tells us everything we  need to know about the financial prospects of pomposity. With a top  speed of more than 253 mph, the Veyron holds the title of the fastest  (and most expensive) street-legal car on the road today. Consequently,  Cowell can sit in judgment of all other motorists around him, anywhere  in the world. Even more proof that nice guys finish last: Cowell  purchased the Bugatti within a few days of picking up a $434,000  Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. 3 – David Beckham and his Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/David-Beckham-and-his-Rolls-Royce-Phantom-Drophead-Coupe.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Noted black-on-black (aka “murdered out”) luxury vehicle enthusiast and  sometime-international soccer star David Beckham has been spotted  driving around Los Angeles in a sleek, blacked-out Rolls-Royce Phantom  Drophead Coupe. The ride’s color scheme matches his $400,000  customized Porsche 911Cabriolet Turbo and jacked-up Jeep Wrangler, and  rounds out the luxury lineup in his garage, which also includes  a Ferrari F430 and a V10 Lamborghini Gallardo. His wife, Victoria — aka  Posh, former Spice Girl turned Marc Jacobs muse and international  fashion plate — plays the ivory to Becks’ ebony in a white Porsche 911  Cabriolet. 2 – Jay Leno and his turbine-powered EcoJet <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Jay-Leno-and-his-turbine-powered-EcoJet.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Jay Leno isn’t your typical celebrity car owner. He is actually a true  automotive enthusiast extraordinaire. His collection of rare and odd  vintage rides is legendary. But, as a true gearhead, Leno is just as  impressed by speed and power as by quirk and collectability. Take his  EcoJet prototype, for instance. Leno helped design the one-of-a-kind  supercar (with help from his own Big Dog garage team and the design  gurus at General Motors). It is essentially a modified Corvette Z06 that  runs on biodiesel and is powered by a 650-horsepower LT-101 jet engine,  similar to the ones found in Coast Guard helicopters. The team is still  working out the kinks to get it on the road, but in the meantime you  can see (and hear) Leno and team firing it up at hisofficial car Web  site. 1 – Ralph Lauren’s 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO <img src="http://mucy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Ralph-Lauren%E2%80%99s-1962-Ferrari-250.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> American fashion icon Ralph Lauren’s car collection has everything from  the ultraclassic (Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coupe) to the iconic  (Porsche 550 Spyder) to the bizarre (Jaguar XKD) — and those are just  some of his cars from 1955! It’s hard to choose favorites among such a  select stable, but if we could abscond with one of his incredible rides,  chances are it would be the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. Only 39 of these  unmistakable Italian beauties were produced between 1962 and 1964, and  they are widely considered to be one of Enzo Ferrari’s greatest  achievements — if not the greatest. And they’re priced accordingly: 250  GTOs (top speed: 170 mph) have sold at auctions over the years for  anywhere from $2 million to more than $15 million. භොඳනම් රෙපක් දුන්නට අවුලක් නෑනෑනෑනෑනෑ<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> </blockquote>
