EACH week Van Insurance scours the country in search of van driving super stars. We are sorry to report; yet again we have drawn a blank! But while our search has proven fruitless, Van Insurance can reveal the hottest celebrities behind the hottest wheels. EVA LONGORIA PARKER
The sexy star’s basketball playing husband, Tony Parker, has denied his wife is pregnant, insisting they would be unable to keep the happy news a secret from anyone if it were true.

Parker is furious over speculation that his wife is pregnant because of her recent weight gain. "We don't wanna hide it, says Parker: “I don't know why people keep asking us." Meanwhile, Longoria was left shaken up on a West Hollywood street after her new Range Rover was involved in a collision.

The actress was leaving celebrity stylist Ken Paves' salon with a friend when her vehicle collided with a Ford Taurus.

However, the plucky star insisted the show must go on after the car smash and attended a T-Mobile launch party for the new Sidekick phone three hours later, where she posed with another one of Paves' customer’s Jessica Simpson.

AMY WINEHOUSE
The troubled star says she is "so sad" about the way things have turned out with her life.

Winehouse says her life is a "mess" and claims her dreams were crumbling around her.

"Look where I am now, says Winehouse: “Look what happened to my dreams. This isn't a life - I'm a mess, look at me. I can't believe what has happened to me. I am so sad."

Meanwhile, a mysterious bag of white powder has reportedly been spotted in the star’s car. Paparazzi shot the package in the singer's boot while she was unloading her belongings.

RYAN REYNOLDS
The Canadian star had an inauspicious start to his new life in Los Angeles, when his car was stolen within the first few hours of arriving in California.

The Amityville horror star drove the Jeep all the way from his native Vancouver to Hollywood when he was a teenager. But, after parking his vehicle for the night outside his apartment, Reynolds woke up to find the Jeep stolen.

“My Jeep got stolen the first hour I was in LA, says Reynolds: “My Jeep was stolen, but then it was just rolled down a hill around the corner. They removed the doors, took the stereo and I was left with this shell that was my car. I spent four months in L.A. without doors on my Jeep -- in the rainy season. So I was slugging my way to auditions in the freezing cold. Contrary to popular belief, L.A. is actually kind of cold in the winter. “ SEAN PENN
The Hollywood actor was so taken with his first man to man kiss with Milk co-star James Franco - he quickly texted his ex wife Madonna to boast.

Penn stars with Franco in the biopic of San Francisco's first gay Mayor Harvey Milk. After they amorous clinch, Penn was keen to tell his gay icon former wife Madonna about his risqué antics.

"After our kiss, Sean texted Madonna and said, 'I just popped my cherry kissing a guy. I thought of you. I don't know why” says Franco. Meanwhile, Penn’s car was recently stolen as he enjoyed lunch in downtown Berkeley.

“Someone stole Penn's black 1987 Buick Grand National while it was parked in the 2300 block of Shattuck Avenue, says a police spokesperson: "It was a bold theft in broad daylight. Also taken were two of Penn's guns -- a loaded 9mm Glock handgun stashed inside the car and an unloaded 38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver in the trunk.”

KIRK CAMERON
The Hollywood star says he can empathise with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie growing brood, as he ten children of his own. Cameron, a car fanatic, has six natural children and four adopted - and he agrees with the Pitt-Jolies when they admit they can't see a difference between the three children born to them and their three adopted siblings.

Cameron says, "You forget who's adopted and who is not. The kids are 11, 10, nine, eight, seven and five-and-a-half. We feel like the Brady Bunch. There's never a dull moment.

"Everybody's got a friend at the house. For birthday parties you don't have to invite anybody else because everybody is there. It can be a bit harrowing at times because we don't have a nanny, so it is a commitment for my wife and me to raise these kids properly.

"But family is our highest priority. My wife even teaches classes at my kids' school on being a mom and being a wife."

BRITNEY SPEARS
The troubled stars ex boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib is attempting to cash in on his relationship with the singer - by reportedly selling off sexy video footage of the couple having sex.

The two-hour long tape, in which Spears wears nothing but a pink wig, was allegedly recorded while the couple were holidaying in Mexico, days after Spears was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

"There is such a tape, says Ghalib: “but I won't discuss prices for hypothetical enquiries. Unless there is a locked-in deal, I will go no further."

GWYNETH PALTROW
The Hollywood star admits she finds driving in the UK difficult and spends most days trying to remember which side of the car her steering wheel is on.

Paltrow, who divides her time between homes in New York and London, says it’s the only part of her trans-Atlantic life that she still hasn't mastered.

"When I'm walking to my car in either country, I don't know what side the steering wheels on, says Paltrow: “It is embarrassing if there are paparazzi following me. I have no problems driving on opposite sides of the road, but I always struggle with the steering wheel placement, which is on the right in the U.K. and the left in the U.S.”

JANET JACKSON
The pop star has returned to the stage after a bout of vertigo forced her to cancel a string of shows.

Jackson’s performance at the Verizon Centre in Washington, D.C was her first concert after being hospitalised ahead of a gig in Montreal last September.

The star, who drives a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, cancelled a further eight shows on her first tour in several years after doctors ordered her to take it easy until they diagnosed her "mystery illness".

When she finally made it back on stage, the superstar was a sensation, wowing fans when she appeared in a blaze of fireworks and smoke, wearing a Mohawk and yellow body-suit.

"It feels so good to be back after being down just a little bit, Jackson told her fans.”

JAY LENO
The American talk show host is being sued by the estate of an heir to the famous U.S. department store Macy’s. Two antique cars, the property of John Strauss, were held in a Manhattan garage for 50 years until they were allegedly auctioned in 2005 without his knowledge.

A lawsuit filed by the estate shows Jay Leno purchased one of the cars at the auction.

The garage owners claim they auctioned the cars because Strauss owed £17,500 in parking fees – a claim Strauss' estate refutes, insisting the fees were an excuse to sell items not belonging to them.

Trustees for the estate of the Macy's heir, who died after a battle with dementia earlier this year, are ordering for the return of the cars, plus unspecified damages.

ED HARRIS
The Hollywood star hopes to help World War II veteran's fight to clean up the site of one of the deadliest Pacific battles for U.S. Marines by narrating a new film.

The actor will provide a voice over on documentary Return to Tarawa: The Leon Cooper Story, which records the veteran's battle to have the neglected hallowed ground - where thousands of U.S. troops lost their lives – become a permanent war memorial.

"The piles of garbage, such as plastic bags and bottles, food wrappers, soiled diapers, and other trash are continuing to pile up says Harris: "It's an insult to the memory of all who fought and died there for their country."

Meanwhile, Harris reportedly lost his temper with a paparazzo and threw a rock through the back window of her car, after he claimed she was hunting him. The police were called but no charges have been made against him.

LISA BONET
The sexy star is expecting her third child.

The High Fidelity actress and actor boyfriend Jason Momoa, who were spotted at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Show, say they are to become parents for the second time - they already have a 14-month-old daughter, Lola.

Bonet also has a 19-year-old daughter, Zoe, with her former partner, rocker Lenny Kravitz. "I'm seven months and I feel great. I've had a tremendous amount of energy, which is lucky, because I have a 14-month-old, says Bonet.

And Bonet, who was recently voted one of the top 25 sexiest movie stars in history, doesn't want to know if she is expecting a boy or a girl.

"When my friends ask me, I say, 'I really don't know. I love the mystery and I trust the mystery about it. It adds a whole other component at the end, she adds.

KEVIN COSTNER
The actor and his wife Christine Baumgartner are expecting a second child together.

Costner, who has three grown-up children from his first marriage to childhood sweetheart Cindy Silva, already has a son to Baumgartner "For years, fear kept me from marrying Christine, says the Hollywood heartthrob: “Christine wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn't be an effective father.

“She said, 'I'm about children. If you want to be with me, if you want to get married, you should know that's part of my make-up.

"I woke up and thought, 'Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child?' That's all it took. I decided I was not going to miss out on love."

Meanwhile, Costner has been shopping for a new family car and recently purchased a new Audi S8 and new Audi Q7.

MARK WAHLBERG
The Hollywood star is still seething from a fan-charging incident during a guest appearance on MTV's TRL four years ago.

The actor was promoting a movie on the show when a screaming fan ran towards Wahlberg and had to be pulled off him by security guards - and the star fears her intentions might not have been altogether good.

"The only thing that was a bit disturbing was she had a pin (badge) on that said 'God is not real' and that was upsetting to me, says the devout catholic who has built a chapel in his Hollywood mansion: “But I still pray for her to this day. Hopefully she's changed her mind."

The star also admits to being a cocky thief in his youth, who once stole the same car 15 times.

"We'd pop the tilt steering and he (owner) never got it fixed, says the Planet of the Apes star: “We're hanging around, we're hooking school... and we'd go take the car, we'd drive around and we'd hide it by my house for a couple of days and they'd find it, he'd get it back, we'd go an take it again.

"There was no radio or anything... but it was a good means of transportation and most of the time, when he found it, there was more gas (in the tank) than when we took it.

"One time he actually came out in the morning... and the poor guy tries to block the driveway and I'm not gonna stop and I'm not gonna get out because the guy's upset and obviously this has been going on for a while."

The car stealing is one of many incidents Wahlberg regrets from his troubled past.

He adds, "A woman asked me, 'Would you like to pay all the people back for all the stuff that you stole, all the damage that you caused?' I said, 'If I did, I'd be broke, my kids wouldn't go to college.'"

PARIS HILTON
The hotel heiress is giving film direct Guy Ritchie her full support during the breakdown of his marriage to Madonna, as she is a big fan of his London pub.

Hilton visited The Punchbowl, the Mayfair pub Ritchie bought earlier this year, and says she is a big fan of the place.

"It was cute. I even met Guy Ritchie there, and he was such a gentleman, says Hilton.”

Meanwhile, the heiress admits she's enjoying the London life while she shoots a British version of her My BFF TV show. "I'm staying at the Sanderson hotel. It's so modern, and the style is so amazing. It doesn't hurt that I'm in the penthouse, where I have the whole floor to myself. It's so fabulous; there's enough room for all my racks of clothes!"

She has also been spotted outside The Ivy driving a $400,000+ Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren after trading in her Bentley Continental GT.
