Kanye's Car This has just not been a great week for Kanye West. After walking into a sign outside of Beverly Hills Vietnamese restaurant 9021pho and getting into a fight with a photographer the other day, his prized possession-a $750,000 black Lamborghini Aventador that baby mama Kim Kardashian bought him for his 35th birthday-was damaged upon entering Kardashian's swanky Los Angeles mansion.

After being serviced yesterday, a driver was returning the pricey vehicle to the Mediterranean pad and entering the gates. Sadly, they were going just a little too slow, and the gates began to close on it, causing some unfortunate damage. There's no word on how much the damage cost, but chances are it wasn't cheap. Considering the car is close to $1 million, every square inch on this bad boy is worth something!

Here's hoping the birth of Kanye and Kim's child is a smoother

Beyoncé Let's all just stop calling Beyoncé a humble star, especially when we have constant evidence to the contrary. Aside from her preference for $900 straws, it seems that Queen Bey (who recently demanded that everyone "bow down" to her) also has a penchant for flying in style. For her Mrs. Carter Show world tour, she has reportedly enlisted a $28.5 million private jet owned by famed businessman and host of the UK version of "The Apprentice" Lord Alan Sugar.

The jet is an Embraer Legacy 650 that he scooped up in 2010, and has a less-than-subtle "G-SUGA" written on the tail. Apparently, it reaches cruising speeds of up to 500 miles per hour and is decked out with three cabins, a luxury bathroom, and a high-tech entertainment system. A simple refuel of the plane costs up to $15,000, which should definitely make you stop complaining about how much it costs to

Charlie and Denise When celebrity marriages fall apart, the result is usually a series of acrimonious court battles involving everything from spousal support to child custody. But that wasn't the case for Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. Although there was said to be some bad blood between them following their 2006 divorce, they remain as close as can be for the sake of their two daughters. Additionally, Richards has stepped up in other ways-and has taken in Sheen's twin sons with his ex-wife Brooke Mueller, who was recently shipped off to rehab for the umpteenth time.

Keira Knightley Last weekend, Keira Knightley tied the knot in a relatively low-key ceremony in France to her musician beau James Righton, a member of popular band Klaxons. When we say "relatively low-key" we mean that in celebrity terms: Knightley wore a custom Chanel dress with a Chanel jacket over it, but she wore ballet flats-making it a more casual affair than some major A-list blowout nuptials we've seen recently.

But for the honeymoon, they're sparing no expense. The duo have been spotted in Corsica, the French island in the Mediterranean Sea. The destination is a playground for the wealthy and elite, and it's perfect for a celebrity couple as it's quite private compared to other European beachside locales. They have been taking advantage of the weather and sunning, sailing, and swimming, with a glass of wine always in hand.

When the holiday is over, they'll return to Knightley's $3 million
