Celebrities with CLK's

Just curious as to what celebrities have CLK's. After all, they could have anything they want, but they chose the MB CLK because they like the car.
People say different things about different cars, but I chose the CLK, like many of you, because I like that particular car, and not because that was all I could afford.
Some may view this as silly, but I thought it would be a different twist to the usual posts.
Add pics if you can of their rides.
For starters, I know of Jessica Simpson and my hero Roy Jones Jr.

Featured in a B.I.G. Video!

The CLK was the prominent car the 1998 B.I.G. video "Sky's the limit" in where the little kids play Biggie and Puff.

Also, Bad Boy Records must have loved the cLK as it was also in Mase's "Bad Boy" Video in 1998.

Note that at that time the CLK was a brand new model and was generating a lot of excitement as a 2-door Mercedes.

P.S. Ashanti bought one in 2002 (Cabriolet).

Not sure if they own them in real life but Eddie Murphy drove a cab on "Daddy Daycare" and it was funny because when his wife first took it to work he was all scared and was telling her the "rules" and stuff before she took off.

Also saw one in Beyonce's video recently, also a cab.

CLK 430
he had a booster seat and extensions. I saw him on celebrities uncensored on E! channel. Same car. Basicall here's the windshield of the car ===> /o <=== and that is his head way up there. But I'll give it to him, he can drive without any real problems. But he has an ugly sticker on top of his front windshield.

Jessica Simpson had silver Cab on one of her episode where she buys $500 underwear and got her husband mad.

He told her to return it and she says it's too late while standing right front of the store. So stupid..
