Celebs

WHEN it comes to motorbikes our hottest stars just can’t get enough of sleek, powerful action. Fast, feisty and glamorous …and that’s just the motorbikes, celebrities’ love of the motorbike shows no sign of abating. This week Motorbike Insurance takes a look at some of the hottest celebrities behind the hottest wheels.

PINK
The pop princess and her motorbike mad husband, Carey Hart have been accused of “doing the celebrity couple photo-op” by fans. “Rumours about marriage trouble for these two crazy kids have been circulating for months, says a source:

“Something about an open marriage…. that never works. When will women learn? Recent photos of them out on his and hers motorbikes is obviously a photo-op, do you really think if they were going on a serious ride Pink would be rockin’ a bikini top? That’s a lot of bare skin that could easily be torn off that manly body in an accident.”

GEORGE CLOONEY
The Hollywood heartthrob and his model girlfriend are the first to admit they have their occasional guilty pleasure. While recovering from a motorbike accident in the Autumn, Sarah Larson admits they were glued to marathons of VH1's Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.

"We caught ourselves rooting for someone or getting frustrated," says Larson And we were like, 'This is sad.' Despite dating one of the world’s sexist men, Larson says she sees Clooney, 47, as "a normal person, like anyone else. He just happens to have a well-known face."

Attending all the show business parties is "like a modelling job," she says, "smiling and greeting people." The former model says she probably would never have fallen for Clooney if he, too, had had a reality show past. "If George had been on a reality show, I don't think I'd have talked to him," she admits. "It would have been like, 'That's that.”

MARIE OSMOND
The Mormon singer has taken up a one woman crusade to clean up the Internet after discovering her two teenage daughters have been posting sexually explicit correspondence on MySpace

On her site, 18-year-old Jessica, who was adopted by Osmond as an infant, claims she is a bi-sexual who craves sex "as many times as possible," while her 16-year-old sister describes herself as a "slut" and a "whore" in correspondence and opened up about her dreams of riding a motorbike and having sex with David Bowie.

"I am saddened by some of the choices that two of our children have made, says Marie: "The insidious potential for harm from adolescent Internet sites like MySpace.com only exacerbates these kinds of problems. "If my being a celebrity figure is good for anything, let it be as a voice of warning to other parents that no matter how protective we think we may have been with our children in the past, we need to become more knowledgeable and even more vigilant now in order to protect them.”

Peter Wentz
The Fall Out Boy frontman has joked that he would like his forthcoming marriage to be inspired by Gremlins2. Wentz, a big motorbike fan, who is engaged to sexy songstress Ashlee Simpson, says the film in which green monsters try to take over a New York building – is one of his all-time favourites.

"I think we're going to have our theme based around Gremlins 2, says Wentz: “We could have it take place in a mall and there could be little green naked monsters running about! We could even have Gizmo as a guest!"

KATE HUDSON
Agents acting for the Hollywood star and comedian Owen Wilson have denied reports that the pair are engaged. Rumours were rife that the on-off pair were set to marry after Hudson was spotted on a motorbike wearing a large diamond ring on her engagement finger.

Hudson and Owen began dating two years ago after they met while filming You, Me and Dupree and split last summer. The couple reunited earlier this year, with Hudson calling Owen a "lovely person" who she loves "dearly" in January.

BRITNEY SPEARS
The troubled star has made a pledge to her little sister that she will be around to offer all the help she can when Jamie Lynn gives birth.

The teenager is due to deliver her first child with fiancé Casey Aldridge in the summer and motorbike mad Spears is determined to be there for her.

!At the baby shower, she told her little sister she wanted to be there for her the entire time,’ a friend reveals. ‘I'm not sure how Casey is going to feel about that, but Jamie Lynn seems pretty excited.’ Spears who is officially under the care of her father will have to get permission from him before going back to Louisiana. “She had to ask him if it was OK to go back for the shower, says a source: “He has to give her permission to travel, and the money to do it. It's not that he doesn't want her there for her little sister. It's just that he thinks it's best to keep Britney close to home right now.”

CHRISTINA RICCI
The Hollywood star says a cheeky monkey dangled from her breasts on the set of her latest movie Speed Racer. According to Ricci, the chimp who plays Chim-Chum made a grab for her breasts during a motorbike action scene.

‘When I went on set for the first shot of the movie, they sat me right next to a chimpanzee that was starring in the film,’ says Ricci. “Then the whole set shakes – as it was supposed to for the scene – and the monkey freaks out and grabs my left breast. It was hanging off me, so I just very slowly leaned over, so its little feet could touch the ground and take some weight off my boob before the monkey ripped the whole thing off.”
