Top 3 Celebrity SUVs

January 26th, 2011

There are tons of celebrities who choose to drive sport utility vehicles rather than compact sports cars and convertibles. Owning big rides is a part of Hollywood's materialistic culture, especially ones that patent their status symbols and swag. Here are the top 3 SUVs celebrities drive:

3. Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon

You might think that the boxy body would attract mostly the younger male celebrities, but it's the up and coming female stars who are seen around driving the Mercedes G-Wagon. Disney starlets seem to be in awe of this car because most of them own one including Ashley Tisdale, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus and Brenda Song. Fashionable A-listers Ashley Olsen, Emma Roberts, Hilary Duff and Audrina Patridge were also spotted driving a G-Wagon, and it definitely adds a touch of edginess to their sweet and classy images. Other stars who proudly own a G-Wagon include Britney Spears, Joe Jonas, Nicole Richie, Megan Fox, Kanye West and Joel Madden. One last thing, Arnold Schwarzenegger owns one too.

2. Cadillac Escalade

It's been mentioned on rap songs, shown in movies, and has become a celebrity car stereotype because of its luxurious and expensive vibe. Athletes, musicians, actors old and young as well and public figures go nuts about this car and here's proof: superstar athletes Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Brett Favre, Tiki Barber, David Beckham, and Anna Kournikova has one. Talk about being a Sport Utility Vehicle! Veterans such as Dennis Quaid, Teri Hatcher also drive one, and reality star Whitney Port,  punk drummer Travis Barker and legendary actor Andy Garcia all own one-- not to mention the huge number of rappers who have gleaming Escalades in their garages. Oh, and how could we forget Paris Hilton and her Escalade Hybrid.

1. Range Rover

With over 100 spotted in Hollywood alone, it's no doubt that this popular ride is the number one celebrity car not just in the SUV category, but overall.  I love to hate them and the truth is I really like the looks.  Personally I would never buy one since the prices drop like a rock and I actually like the G-Wagon and the Cayenne GTS far more.  If you want to know which celebrities own and drive a Range Rover, here are some of them and boy the variety of their chosen fields overwhelming: host Ryan Seacrest, Aaron Eckhart, Jeremy Piven, Nicky and Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Michael Phelps, Olivia Wilde, Angelina Jolie, Kiera Knightley, Daniel Craig, musician John Mayer, Nicole Richie, Kate Walsh, Brody Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, Pamela Anderson, David and Victoria Beckham, Miley Cyrus, rapper Bow Wow, Grey's Anatomy stars Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl, and yes, even legendary NBA players Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant seem to nod on this vehicle. We guess anything that's good for Michael Jordan and Kobe is good for anyone else.

Amber Rose Holding It Down at Platinum Motorsport

January 16th, 2011

We've got no idea if Amber Rose even owns a car and after seeing her in a couple interviews we don't even think she has the brain power to drive a car but if she did we're sure it would have a sick look. Either way we're sure she's up to something with the crew down at Platinum Motorsport!

The Govenator Gets A Ticket On His G-Wagon

January 6th, 2011

Now that Arnold Schwarzenegger is done being California's
governor, he should expect things like this to happen more often.
His Mercedes-Benz G550 was parked way over the 5-minute loading
area, and the ticket guy was there to give the legend a souvenir.
No worries though, it seems that he'll just brush it off like the
rest of us would do. As a side note, he needs to get that G-Wagon
to target="_blank">Platinum Motorsports for a nice presidential treatment!

Buzzin Music Video Repping Plenty of Platinum Motorsport

December 11th, 2010

I'm not familiar with this artist but the video is not too bad.  My favorite part is 50 Cent rolling in the Platinum Motorsport Lambo.

Kim Kardashian Bangs Up Her Bumper on a Speed Bump

August 17th, 2010

So we've all driven through parking lots before and understand what a speedbump can do to our cars but if you're Kim Kardashian what does it matter it you bang the crap out of the front end of your Bentley. After all if you are Kim Kardashian you can just call the boys over at Platinum Motorsport and they will be there in no time to give you an estimate. Shit who knows, maybe they told her to go pile drive the car through a parking lot filled with aggressive speedbumps just so they could get some PR.

Rob Dyrdek Cars are very distinct. While he used to do matte black murdered out cars, he now seems to be more into having his cars all white. Rob Dyrdek cars also seem to be extremely unique. From their matte paint jobs to having racing stripes with his companies logos, Rob Dyrdek cars have their own unique flair.

This Is Exactly The Tip We Needed

June 3rd, 2010

They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words so we all know that means a video is worth a milli! We finally have scored some more "media" of Rob Dyrdek's Porsche Panamera.

With that said I also want to make a public apology to for neglecting to recognize Sean Malto on our celebrity radar. Go check him out and support him and his sponsors! (he's not your average schmedium wearing hoodlum manualing his skateboard into your parked car)

As for will it happen again... we can't say we're perfect. Asking us to recognize every person who jumps in front of a Porsche Panamera like that is asking us to recall the shoe size of the first dime-piece stripper we got a lap dance from...

And now we're going to reach out to every contact we know to see if we can get a sneak-peak photo shoot of this thing in real life ;)

The Hunt for More of Rob Dyrdek’s Porsche Panamera

June 1st, 2010

Part of the fun in writing and updating this blog is the hunt for more great photos and with that I find myself creeping around in odd places looking for photos but of course I love it and that's why I do it.

With that said... I'm dying for more photos of Rob Dyrdek's Porsche Panamera. If you have any photos of this car please send them to me at photos @ celebritycarsblog.com.

As for the latest, here is one I just came across.

I realize this kid just wanted a photo with the car but next time you take a photo with a car, get the whole car in the photo.
