Beyoncé It's truly hard to ignore Beyoncé's name in the press these days. The 31-year-old singer has been making headlines for her potential pregnancy (her hubby Jay-Z denies it, but many media outlets are still claiming it's true), her Mrs. Carter Show world tour, and of course her lavish vacations. As a known lover of yachts, it's no surprise that the second she had some downtime on her tour, Beyoncé flitted off to the South of France for some fun in the sun onboard a massive yacht with her husband Jay-Z in tow.

Just last week, she cancelled a show in Belgium citing dehydration and exhaustion, but our guess is now that she's living the high life again she's probably feeling a lot better. The power couple were joined by Beyoncé's younger sister Solange and her boyfriend, music video director Alan Ferguson.
Just to give you a sense of how much this vacation must have cost,

The Biggest Celeb Tax Cheats Another day, another rich person who has failed to pay their taxes. It seems that the wealthy-no matter how much money they have earned in their careers-are always finding themselves behind when it comes to properly filing taxes. Yes, we know that it can be daunting to log onto TurboTax when you could be getting bottle service at a hot club or buying a medieval castle, but frankly it's a bit baffling when someone has so much money, that they can be so irresponsible.

Just yesterday, news broke that legendary R&B singer Mary J. Blige, who has always lived a life of excess, mansions, and high fashion, owes a staggering $3.4 million to the state of New Jersey-in addition to $900,000 she already owes! She obviously isn't the first wealthy star in hot water. Read on to find out others who are notorious tax offenders despite their big bank accounts!

Taylor Swift Last month Taylor Swift paid $17 million in cash for a gigantic Rhode Island mansion. The house is a 11,000 square feet seaside home built in 1930 that sits on an enormous 5.23 acres and has eight bedrooms and 10.5 bathrooms. It is just 65 feet off the water, with views of the surrounding areas, including the picturesque Fishers Island Sound, Little Narragansett Bay, and the Watch Hill Light House. Clearly this isn't the average pad of a 23-year-old.

Last night a fan of Swift's decided that he wanted to meet his favorite star, and do that he decided to swim to her house. When he got there he saw her security detail and decided to swim back (the round trip distance of this is two miles). Around 2:20 a.m. cops spotted the man getting out of the ocean about one mile away from Swift's house. Cops asked him what he was up to, and then he was taken to a nearby police station where he

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

When it comes to celebrities, it's nearly impossible to pin them down. After all, they're usually jet-setting around the world, attending movie premieres, high profile events, or simply vacationing. Regardless of where they are in the world, they're living in style-eating at the best restaurants, staying in the chicest hotels, and of course participating in the best shopping the world has to offer. Each week with Celebrity Tracking we bring you a new star and show you the ins and outs of their favorite spots around the world!

Oh, Leonardo DiCaprio. The 38-year-old actor has been making people swoon at the mere mention of his name since his star-making turn in "Titanic" back in 1997. Now, he's one of the highest-paid actors in the world, and breaking hearts from New York to Milan.

Leo's been linked to some of the most famous (and gorgeous) stars around, from Blake Lively and Gisele Bundchen to Bar Refaeli-and frankly, it doesn't seem like he'll be
