According to this site: http://celebritycarparade.wordpress....was-glamorous/

Ben Affleck reportedly sold the Bentley Azure given to him by J-Lo. He's been photographed in an Aston Martin, Bentley, etc. before, now apparently he has an LS 600h (and probably other cars too).

Here's the thread:

I just discovered that the Danish Royal Family has gotten an LS 600h, adding it to the reactivated "LS 600h in official service" thread:

^^^ Thanks you are awesome....

Isn't it used by some Asian officials as well? Maybe we should collect what countries use it? It seems to be very popular with high ranking ones.

The LS600h L used by Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen



It's the only vehicle in the territory without a standard number plate. It also lacks the LED headlamps.

How about the UK and Japan JDM? Is it a blanket RHD equipment issue?

Interesting that the flagship would be missing these cutting-edge items. Are they available as options, at least in the places where regulations don't prohibit them?

No, they have the LED's for the 600hL in both UK and Japan, I think it's a local regulations issue ...

The LS is the peak of Lexus luxury and design. I love it. No matter what you do for a living it will treat you like a king and make you feel like a king

Arrow Mark Salling


There’s at least one cast member of Glee who’s singing the blues.

Glee stars Mark Salling and Naya Rivera were rumored to have had an off-camera fling and according to Us Weekly, it ended with Rivera vandalizing his pricey Lexus.

According to the report and confirmed by RadarOnline.com, Rivera egged and keyed Salling’s car after she became extremely jealous and “went crazy when she read about other girls.”

The source says when Rivera found out “she and some pals trashed his Lexus.”

“He’s on top of the world right now and living it up,”
Salling’s friend Samantha Marq told Us. “Besides, it’s hard to call it infidelity when they weren’t officially together!”

Salling plays hunky bad-boy-turned-glee-clubber Puck on the hit Fox show while Rivera plays Santana, a snotty cheerleader forced to join the glee club.

How many of these celebrities actually bought their Lexus' with their own money though, and how many were given them free by Lexus? Audi have a whole VIP department that hands out cars to well known actors, TV presenters and sportspeople in return for them becoming brand ambassadors. I know Lexus has a department that works to get their cars featured in movies and TV programmes so it stands to reason they have a similar VIP dept.

Post Bree Olson


Bree Olson -- one of Charlie Sheen's infamous **** friends -- was arrested on Thursday in Fort Wayne, IN on suspicion of driving under the influence ... TMZ has learned.

According to law enforcement sources, Olson was driving a black Lexus when she was involved in a single car accident. We're told she was not hurt and received no medical treatment.

Law enforcement sources tell us the officers on scene noticed a strong smell of alcohol on her breath and bloodshot and watery eyes. We're told she took a breathalyzer test and blew a .19 -- though she told cops she only had 2 beers.

She was arrested by the Allen County Sheriff's Department and eventually released on $750 bail.

Olson, an adult film star, was partying with Sheen during his second most recent bender ... that we know of.
