    Forbes on Celebrity Vehicles

    The Forbsies, through their vast network of resources, have brought you, dear reader, a list of vehicles driven by some of the most renowned names in the world of fame. Watch us, armed with only the resources provided by Forbes, applaud or ridicule their vehicular choices after the jump.

    Paris Hilton: Bentley Continental GT
    We get the feeling that Continentals are disposable for Paris. She might feel bad if her boyfriend ran an Arnage into the back a truck, but the Continental? Pffft. NBD.

    Anna Kournikova: Cadillac Escalade EXT
    Perfect for a Russian-expat Floridian retired tennis star. Does it get any more trash-with-cash than the EXT?

    Britney Spears: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
    Stands to reason. After all, she's gotta remind Kevin who really wears the pants in the family. Plus, the automatic trans makes it easier to breastfeed in LA traffic.

    Julia Roberts: Toyota Prius
    We don't like Julia Roberts. We don't like Prius drivers. 'Nuff said.

    Madonna: Maybach 57
    Madge, Madge, Madge. We know you feel a Michigan connection toward the Maybach because the Chrysler in DaimlerChrysler is based in your home state. If you're gonna go to the trouble of moving to Blighty and affecting an accent, well, that's silly, but it's fine. But do you have to flirt with the British fascination with fascism, as well? Trade it in for a Phantom, babe. German-owned, built in England. Having your cake and eating it too goes great with that new Kabbalah energy drink, we hear.

    Charlize Theron: Land Rover Range Rover
    The first girl we ever kissed reminds us of Charlize in a way, and for years she owned a red Rodeo. Girls like this belong in SUVs. Girls as rich as Charlize belong in Range Rovers.

    Lindsay Lohan: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
    She's obviously proven that she can't handle this car. Put her in a New Beetle with a red, white and blue stripe, slap a roundel with the number 53 on there and yank the motor. Chock the wheels while you're at it.

    Shaquille O'Neal: Rolls-Royce Phantom
    Yes.

    50 Cent: Dodge Charger
    No. Fitty is emphatically not a Charger driver. We see him in a C-Class with 26-inch spinners and glass tinted to look bulletproof.

    Leonardo DiCaprio: Toyota Prius
    DiCaprio. Good actor we've never warmed to. Prius. Good car we've never warmed to. Perfect.

    President George W. Bush: Cadillac DTS limousine
    We, the nation's taxpayers, should repossess this thing and give him a surplus Shriner's go-kart to motor around in instead. We'd insist that he wear the fez, too, but we don't wanna insult the Shriners.

    Tyra Banks: Lexus SC
    Tyra doesn't seem like the kind of woman who cares much about cars. This is a luxury convertible that won't break down for people who don't care much about cars.

    Tom Cruise: Porsche 911
    What? You expected a VW? "Phaeton" sounds too close to "Thetan" for the Scientology evangelist's taste, we suspect.
