Ross Hetherington | May 14, 2008
50 Cent - aka rapper Curtis Jackson, silver with cream interior. He is thinking about making it a convertible
Fat Joe aka Joseph Cartagena, sky blue. He bought it after the success of “Lean Back”.
Ben Affleck - silver. He bought it for then fiancee Jennifer Lopez. When the relationship broke up, she returned it — and he was photographed taking it to McDonalds
Christina Aguilera - white. Was used at her wedding in Napa Valley
David Beckham - silver. Bought for him as a birthday present by wife Victoria Beckham.
Johnnie Cochran - black on black, with the plate “JC JR”
Simon Cowell - ordered a Maybach. He then took a ribbing from Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear. He was in Hollywood, and his Bentley needed a service — they gave him a Phantom as courtesy car, and he loved it. He telephoned Rolls-Royce and found the Beverly Hills dealer had three in stock, including one with his preferred ‘piano black’ paint and triple black interior — black leather, black carpets and black lacquered wood dashboard. An hour later his Maybach order was cancelled, and he had ordered a second similar Phantom for London. He has a 100EX convertible on order for American delivery. When Cowell was Punk’d Ashton Kutcher pretended to have the car stolen.
Bishop E. Bernard Jordan - given to the prominent New York Bishop by former Run DMC rapper Reverend Run in March 2004, for saving his life
Jay Kay - black on black with piano black
Jay Z - white
John Kerry - black for the former Democratic presidential candidate: or more correctly, owned by his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry. Driving it in Detroit during his campaign brought derision from local auto workers
Brittany Murphy - after seeing one in a Snoop Dogg video
Shaquille O’Neal - silver
Nelly - Despite a trip to the customizer for new rims, Nelly felt his Rolls-Royce Phantom still lacked a certain discreet charm. So he had the interior totally re-worked in mink fur
