This week Motorbike Insurance takes a look at some of the hottest celebrities behind the hottest wheels.
PARIS HILTON
The hotel heiress is said to be keen to marry in a double ceremony with best friend Nicole Richie in a bid to get maximum money for exclusive shots of their nuptials.
Hilton who is not even engaged to Good Charlotte rocker, Benji Maddon – wants to share her big day with Nicole and fiancé Joel.
"She's doing it all for attention, as usual, says an insider: “It's a publicity stunt, just like everything else."
The famous glamour girl is used to getting what she wants. She was recently given a pink, shiny motorbike adorned with Swarovski crystals motorbike worth £250,000 from Beverley Hill Choppers
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
The pop sensation has been helping his Ex girlfriend Cameron Diaz come to terms with the recent death of her father Emillio Diaz.
Timberlake, a big Harley Davidson fan, joined a memorial service, dubbed a Celebration of Life, at Mahe in Seal Beach, where mourners were urged to embrace the late Emilio's humour and lively spirit in their dress.
"Most people started arriving at 1.30 and hardly no one wore black. Lots of people were wearing Hawaiian shirts. It looked more like a party, says a source.
KELLY BROOK
The gorgeous star has ended her four-year relationship with 'Titanic' star Billy Zane after deciding she was too young to settle down.
“After much soul-searching, Kelly decided that Billy is not the man she wants to marry and has called off the engagement, says a source.
“The split is completely amicable and they remain good friends.”
Motorbike mad Zane has now moved out of the couple's English farmhouse and back to Los Angeles.
JANET JACKSON
Jackson - who is in a long-term relationship with producer Jermaine Dupri - thinks Alicia Keys is “wonderful” and admires both her beauty and talent.
When asked in a recent interview who she would consider having a lesbian fling with, Jackson said: "I think I would pick Alicia Keys. I think she's wonderful." Janet believes people often question the sexual orientation of Alicia and US TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey because they are such “strong” characters.
“They are strong women. Maybe they want to put something else behind it because of the strength. Like, you can't be a woman and be strong, and there has to be something else to it, says Jackson who has a penchant for motorcycle leather.
ASHLEE SIMPSON
The Singer/actress is putting her foot down and refusing to ride on the motorbike she bought her boyfriend, Pete Wentz, until he can drive it properly.
The Hollywood lovely bought the Fall Out Boy star to a Triumph Bonneville motorbike for Christmas but is reluctant to travel as a passenger.
"When we went to get it, I bought my helmet and I was like, 'You should probably buy a helmet, so we can ride together, says Wentz: “"She was like, 'I'm not going to buy a helmet, I'm not going to ride with you until you actually know what you are doing.'"
"I was riding yesterday. I didn't realize how hard a motorcycle was to ride. I'd only seen it on TV, and in movies, and I was like, 'I want to ride one!' but they're [bleep] hard to ride."
AMY WINEHOUSE
The singing sensation is in trouble again after she allegedly head-butted a guy who had hailed her a cab outside a London bar, hours after punching her alleged other victim in the face.
According to sources, Winehouse and a group of friends turned up at a pub in Camden flanked by motorbike riding paparazzi. Once inside she allegedly hit Moroccan musician Mustapha el Mounmi when he refused to vacate the pool table
Meanwhile, Winehouse’s imprisoned husband has reportedly demanded a £3 million divorce settlement.
Blake Fielder-Civil says he is entitled to £250,000 for every month he has been married to the troubled singer.
After Amy allegedly demanded a divorce, Blake is said to have told friends: “She wouldn’t even be alive if it wasn’t for me.”
“At first Blake refused to believe Amy had dumped him, but his initial devastation has been replaced by rage, says a source:” He says she owes everything to him - he inspired her music and says he saved her life.
“Because of Amy his life will never be the same again and he wants her to compensate him. He has demanded £3 million from her.”
JULIA ROBERTS
The ‘Pretty Woman’ star has revealed that she doesn’t use deodorant, relying on good old-fashioned soap and water to keep her armpits fresh.
“I don’t actually use deodorant, says Roberts: “ I don’t like to share that with a lot of people, but it’s just never been my thing.”
Motorbike mad Roberts, 40 caused an armpit frenzy in 1999 after turning up to the UK premiere of romantic comedy ‘Notting Hill’ with hairy underarms.
JERRY HALL
The leggy lovely has revealed that her drug addicted, alcoholic father John Hall hit her and her four sisters so hard he broke their bones.
“He would talk to us like soldiers, says the Texan beauty: “ He was very imaginative in his insults, and that is hard to get over. He was very violent. He took uppers (drugs) and would come home and beat us five girls. He broke bones.”
A US army sergeant-turned-truck driver, Hall’s father was so keen to have a boy that he gave his daughters all male names. Hall says her dad was driven to drink and drugs because of his own upbringing and war experiences.
A self-confessed Harley Davidson fan, Mick Jagger’s ex wife turned heads when she took the super bike out for a spin.
“Jerry Hall was sensational; she had the longest legs I have ever seen, says Patrick Harley who runs Harley Davidson tours in the US:
“We took her on a private tour of the Red Centre for two days. All the boys wanted to work on those days…for free. She loved getting away from the crowds and certainly looked at home sat on the back of the bike.”

JODIE MARSH
The glamour model will do anything to get back into the media spotlight. This week Marsh turned up at the British Superbike racing at Brands Hatch, sporting a series of less than tasteful tattoos.
The artwork included a 50’s style buxom wench on her left arm – not unlike Amy Winehouse’s own iconic vintage tattoo design. Further tattoos included the word ‘Porn’ lined vertically on her side and a bow on her right arm.
MEL B
The Spice Girl has taken girl power to new heights this week obsessing about sex.
Referring to the turmoil over the past year, caused by her former lover, comedian Eddie Murphy, denying being the father of her child, she says: “The past year has been one hell of an interesting ride, and that's putting it mildly."
Mel B, who was sponsored by Italian motorbike firm, Aprilia during her time with the Spice Girls, also waxed lyrical about her music producer husband, Stephen Belafonte, saying: "All I know is that I'm happy, and I'm thankful for that.
"Stephen is brilliant with my daughters, Angel and Phoenix. For the first time I feel like part of a family. Me and Stephen have a pretty hot sex life. We’d win an Olympic gold for sex.”
KELLY BROOK
The luscious lovely has admitted that she is back together again with Hollywood star Billy Zane.
Speaking at the film premiere of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, Brook said: "We're so happy. It's just the best feeling being with him. I really missed Billy. We realised we're at our happiest when we are together.
"We needed to get away just to have some quality time together away from England. And to have a laugh - that's important isn't it?
"We're staying with friends in a villa until Tuesday and we just want to really let our hair down and go to some fun parties - we always have a good time in Cannes."
However, according to one insider, the stars’ enthusiasm was quashed when the couple were turned away from the prestigious Vanity Fair bash.
"It was so embarrassing for Billy, says a source: “All he wanted to do was show Kel a good night but his name wasn't on the list, he had no invite and was asked for ID. Billy went red and insisted there must be some mistake.
"But he was given his marching orders and had to do the walk of shame back up the hill to the bar in the pouring rain with Kelly dragging her long dress off the floor."
However, it seems the evening ended well for the former TV presenter and motorbike model, when they were finally allowed into the A-list party.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
According to Hollywood rumours, singing sensation Justin Timberlake and his actress girlfriend Jessica Biel could be set to tie the knot.
Insiders say Timberlake has been mulling over going down on bended knees and proposing, and has been checking out wedding venues.
"Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids, says a source: “"For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica.
"He is so happy with her. They spent quite a bit of time apart recently when Justin was working with Madonna. That made him certain Jessica was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with."
According to gossip, the Haley Davidson mad star is looking at the West Indian paradise island of Mustique as a potential venue for his big day.
"Although Justin has lived his whole life in the public eye, he feels his wedding is the one day that should remain private, continues the source: "To get all his close friends and family to Mustique will cost a fortune. But he can’t put a price on how he feels about Jessica. Then there are the rumours about a baby being on the way."
ASHLEE SIMPSON
The Hollywood lovely and her rocker Pete Wentz have married at the Simpson family home in Encino, California.
"We're delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening (Saturday) in front of family and close friends, says their agent.
According to insiders, Simpson wore an ivory lace wedding gown designed by Monique Lhuillier. The show biz couple are believed to have exchanged vows during a quiet ceremony with around 150 guests present, including star pals Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.
Friends and family then enjoyed an Alice In Wonderland themed reception with a sit-down dinner and live DJ.
It is not known where the Hollywood golden couple will Honeymoon, but Simpson, who bought her husband a 2008 Triumph Bonneville has no plans to head off on to the highway with her lover.
'I'm not going to buy a helmet, I'm not going to ride with him, until he actually knows what you are doing!’ says Simpson.
LILY ALLEN
The pop sensation stunned fans this week when she nonchalantly shed her clothes on a beach in Canne.
"I've got nothing to be ashamed of about my body. We've all got them.
My manager left a message on my assistant's phone saying, 'Uh, I don't know if you know but Lily's boobs are all over the newspapers.'
"I heard I was a Page Three girl - 'Lily, 23, from London' - finally.” adds the motorbike mad singer.
KATE HUDSON
The love affair between Hollywood actress and Owen Wilson is rumoured to be over.
Hudson and her Vesper mad boyfriend are believed to have called it a day less than two months after rumours started that they had rekindled their romance in Miami.
"It was a pretty bad breakup, says an insider: “Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn't want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him."
JOHNNY KNOXVILLE
The dynamic force behind the hit MTV series Jackass is recovering from a serious injury sustained in a motorcycle stunt taped for a 24-hour marathon special.
"I decided I could back-flip a motorcycle," says the 36 year old: "I guess I should have decided if I could ride a motorcycle beforehand, because I can't. The bike goes about 15 feet in the air, comes down and breaks off the handlebar on my crotch."
Knoxville has since been treated for a torn urethra and is bedridden and in pain.
"My girlfriend was very supportive of me," he jokes. "Thank God, today I am a man again. I can resume my manly functions."
