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? Click through this photo gallery to learn about the luxury cars of the stars, and then click to find out more.

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. It can take 14 hides to craft the luxurious trim in a Continental GT. $175,900

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. Porsche 911, Cadillac Escalade, Lamborghini Murcielago

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). Range Rover, Bentley Continental Flying Spur

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."

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. The new 7 series features a night vision system that incorporates individual pedestrian detection and notification. $76,800

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. Inevitably there was a minivan somewhere along the way.

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. A spaceship

What are the Hollywood A-list driving these days? If you said hybrids you'd be right...in 2006. Over the past two years, BMW has been busy handing out to celebrities the keys to its Hydrogen version of the 7 Series. Will Ferrell got one of the first, Leno had one in his garage a while back, and Jeremy Piven was invited to hop in one too (even though Ari Gold drives a Lexus LS600h on Entourage). Ford Bronco, Range Rover

The Cadillac CTS has been a real win for General Motors. Exterior styling is aggressive and refreshing in a somewhat conservative segment, handling puts a smile on your face and confidence in your hands, and the engine is more than enough to get you in trouble. Interior quality and design is among the best GM has put forward, and right now they can be found with great incentives on them as well. Wicked fast CTS-V has a maximum output of 556 horsepower. $37,240

We told you the Cadillac CTS was hot when we named it MyRide's "2008 Car of the Year", but don't take it from us, take it from Hugh Hefner. Hugh made sure this year's Playboy Playmate of the Year, Jayde Nicole, took home a brand new Cadillac CTS. To those of you that think Hugh Hefner is tasteless, Hugh Hefner 2, you, 0. To those of you who knew who Jayde Nicole was before this post, ease up a bit on the mags, will ya? In Hef's limo. // <![CDATA[
