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.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
The pop God and his former girlfriend, Britney Spears are to perform with Madonna at a concert held at Los Angeles' Dodgers Stadium.

Harley Davidson mad, Timberlake recently teamed up with The Material Girl for the hit song 4 Minutes, while Spears is a long-time friend of Madonna’s and has recorded a short film with the superstar for her Sticky + Sweet concerts.

The last time Spears and Madonna shared the stage together they famously kissed at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

Spears planned to make a surprise appearance at the MTV European Awards but cancelled the trip, telling organisers she wanted to stay in Los Angeles, so she could spend time with her sons Jayden James and Sean Preston.

"Britney is gutted but she has family commitments, says a source: “Due to the ongoing court case involving her sons, Britney has to remain in the U.S. to show she's available for her kids as often as possible, and she has to be around this week."

AMY WINEHOUSE
The troubled star's newly free husband Blake Fielder-Civil has vowed to "get sorted" so he can resume married life.

Fielder-Civil was released from Highpoint Prison in Suffolk last week after being convicted of causing actual bodily harm (ABH) and perverting the course of justice.

He has since been spotted on his motorbike checking into a drug treatment centre in Surrey, in a bid to kick his addiction to narcotics as part of the bargain. And has pledged to get clean to save his marriage.

He says, "I'm glad to be out. It's tough inside - bloody horrible. But I'm out now and it's bloody brilliant. I'm gonna get myself sorted. Get my life back."

"It's a welcome to the free world for me and Barack Obama. I heard about the U.S. election on the car radio - it's got to be good news.

BEYONCE
The Crazy In Love singer cancelled a promotional trip to Japan so that she could be at home to see the Democrat win the vote.

She says, "I said, 'What am I doing? I'm completely making a bad decision. I have to go home, I'm gonna kill myself if I'm not home in America.' I knew I needed to be here."

Beyonce says she was overwhelmed by the historic event: "I fell asleep crying and smiling at the same time. I woke up with mascara running and a smile on my face! she says.

In other news, The “Magic Group of Companies”, owners of four Harley-Davidson dealerships, gave the multiple award-winning Harley-Davidson V-Rod the superstar treatment with a painting of Beyoncé, selling it for £65,000 in a charity auction.

Painted by Essex-based artist Paul Karslake, the “Beyoncé V-Rod” – featuring a stunning picture of the star in a striking white dress – was completed in just 48-hours.

“It was like a match made in heaven, the spectacular looks and performance of the V-Rod together with the sexiest performer around, and all done in just 48 hours!, says a spokesperson: “The reaction to the bike was phenomenal and there was some heated bidding going on before the hammer fell for a staggering £65,000. This is certainly a motorcycle like no other.”

HILLARY DUFF
American censors have slammed the pop princess’s new video - claiming the promo too saucy for U.S. TV.

The promotional film for Duff's latest single, Reach Out, sees the pop star posing in a variety of sexy clothes including bondage gear and a Balenciaga motorcycle bag Officials deemed footage of Duff licking a male actor's finger like a lollipop is too racy.

Duff has now deleted the clip from the video and inserts less controversial footage into the final version.

MYA
The R+B star’s love of motorcycles has been tempered after her brother Chad was almost killed in a road crash. Myer, who has been obsessed with power bikes since childhood, is now considering giving up biking after her 23-year-old brother nearly lost his life in the saddle.

She says, "He almost died. His aorta was severed... The only thing that kept him alive was a blood clot. He was on his way out."

PINK
The Pop star has revealed she has a big crush on Lewis Hamilton. The singer, who split from her motocross star husband Carey Hart, admits she is looking out for a new man now that she is single.

And she says the motor racing ace - who is dating Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger - is top of her list.

She says, "Lewis Hamilton is hot. He's incredibly good-looking and pretty sexy. I fancy him. Can you fix me up with him? I didn't realise he had a girlfriend though - how annoying!"

In other news, Pink’s ex husband Carey Hart is mourning the loss of his younger brother Tony, who died last week in a motorcycle accident in Connecticut.

This week Motorbike Insurance takes a look at some of the hottest celebrities behind the hottest wheels.

COLIN FARRELL
The Hollywood star has confessed he was high on a mix of drugs and alcohol when he agreed to film a steamy sex session with Playboy model Nicole Narain.

The Oscar winner took Narain to court to try and stop the distribution of the sex tape three years ago, but now believes the footage didn’t adversely affect his career.

However, he concedes he wished he'd been sober when Narain put the idea of a sex tape to him.

"I think I was high... It seemed like a good idea at the time, says the Harley Davidson freak. And the Irish actor says he fought to keep the footage off the Internet for fear of comments his mother would make:

"God forbid, she'd tell me something like, 'Oh you remind me of your father at certain angles'."

GEORGE CLOONEY
The Hollywood hunk says he was descended upon by press at his home in Italy - when rumours spread that it would be the venue for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s nuptials.

Clooney says the untrue reports of his friend’s wedding led to a media scrum outside his fabulous residence at Lake Como. Journalists descended upon the town for a fortnight - and there was even a fleet of helicopters zooming overhead on a daily basis.

"Two years ago, there was a story that he (Pitt) was going to get married at my house in Italy in February, says Clooney who is often spotted zipping round the beautiful Italian resort on his Vespa: “You would never go to Lake Como in February. It's kind of rainy. You certainly wouldn't have an outdoor wedding.

"But once the story started, hundreds of press people started filling up the hotels. So I ordered high-top tables and had them put out on the front lawn because helicopters are flying over. It went on for about two weeks." ANGELINA JOLIE
The sexy superstar and partner Brad Pitt say they may add to their family brood.

Jolie, who has just given birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, already have four children with Pitt - adopted children Maddox, seven, four-year-old Pax Thien and Zahara, three, and biological daughter Shiloh, 22 months.

But despite the twins' birth, the couple say they won’t rule out the possibility of more children.

"It depends," says Jolie: "I mean it's important... you can't adopt, you can't even start the process until any new children are six months old to understand how the new family has settled."

She explained the children "are not really stunned anymore when kids come home".

"You know, somebody asked how Mad was doing and you know he's just, he's a professional big brother, he's done it so many times," she explained.

"And we prepared them, we talked to them about it, they knew it was coming, and they are all just at that great age that they aren't threatened, that they are independent enough not to need mommy and daddy all the time."

Meanwhile, Jolie has splashed out $100,000 for a new custom-made motorcycle for Pitt’s birthday.

The front of the cycle is engraved with a quote from one of Brad’s favourite singers, Jeff Buckley: “My Sweetheart, the Drunk.”

HAYDEN PANETTIERE
The sky’s the limit for the Heroes star when it comes to flirting with men.

Panettiere has already been spotted swapping telephone numbers with Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Lamar Odom last week.

The motorbike loving pocket venus was spotted leaving rapper Jay-Z concert in Hollywood when the 6ft 10ins sports star met up with her outside the Palladium.

"She seemed thrilled to see Lamar and flirted up a storm with him, says an onlooker: “He spent much of their chat almost bent double, so he could hear what she was saying.

"I thought she was dating Milo Ventimiglia, but that didn't seem to stop her exchanging numbers with Lamar. He seemed very fond of her."

HALLE BERRY
The new mother has set pulses racing with her frank comments about her sex life in a man’s magazine.

The actress, who has just been voted the Sexiest Woman Alive, admits she's red hot in the bedroom.

"You know that stuff they say about a woman being responsible for her own orgasms? says Berry: “That's all true, and, in my case, that makes me responsible for pretty damn good orgasms.

"(They're) much better orgasms than when I was 22, and I wouldn't let a man control that. Not anymore. Now, I'd invite them to participate.

"I've learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I'm not all about frequency; I favour intensity."

Berry, looking lovely in motorbike leathers, also reveals she felt inspired to talk openly about her sex life after being voted world’s sexiest woman.

"I was astonished, she adds: “I was like, 'I've just had a baby. Don't you guys know..? This isn't the year to pick me for this.

"I thought, 'Well, you know, it might be a really good year to talk about some things and talk about what sexy really is.'"

"When I mentioned the big 'O' I'm sure when people first read it (article), they thought I was about to talk about Oprah."

Berry admitted that if her romance with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry ever ended, she wouldn't be looking for a toyboy to satisfy her sexually.

She confided, "Men in their 20s? Forget it."
