And he doesn't even drive! Back in 2019, Noel Gallagher admitted that he made the "most expensive mistake" of his life in 1997 when he dropped around $130K on a 1967 Jaguar. "[It] just sits in the garage. It's been there since the '90s. I thought when I became a fully blown rock star, I was gonna need a car. So I got a MkII Jaguar from 1967, the year I was born. I thought I'll easily have learned to drive," he said at the time. But the Oasis rocker did not, in fact, learn how to drive… On Aug. 8, 2022, The Sun reported that Noel finally sold the expensive whip for around $150K.

Typical Tom! In late July 2022, Tom Cruise made headlines for interrupting a couple's peaceful hike along England's High Crag mountain by rolling up in a helicopter and then quickly paragliding away. "Sorry for disturbing your peaceful walk with all the noise — I like your dog," the A-list actor told the couple, according to The U.S. Sun. "He was as cool as a cucumber," the couple noted of the "Top Gun" star as he ran toward the edge of the 2,440-foot summit. It's believed Tom was shooting (or practicing) a stunt for an upcoming installment in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise. Just another normal day in the life of Tom Cruise!

Christmas isn't all about you, Mariah Carey… The iconic diva is behind one of the biggest Christmas songs of all time: 1994's "All I Want For Christmas Is You." But does that make her the official Queen of Christmas? She seems to think so! In March 2021, the superstar filed an application to trademark the term "Queen of Christmas" for use in various projects and products. Her bid went public in July 2022, infuriating other women who've been called the Queen of Christmas over the years. Singer Elizabeth Chan, for example, dropped an album titled "Queen of Christmas" in 2021. Variety reported on Aug. 15, 2022, that she recently filed a declaration of opposition to Mariah's trademark request: "Christmas [came] way before any of us on earth, and hopefully will be around way after any of us on earth. And I feel very strongly that no one person should hold onto anything around Christmas or monopolize it in the way that Mariah seeks to in perpetuity. That's just not the right thing to do. Christmas is for everyone. It's meant to be shared; it's not meant to be owned," Elizabeth said. We couldn't agree more!

Earlier this year, he listed his home in Beverly Hills for $87.5M.

Naturally, she took to social media to show off some of the uber-expensive gifts she received including a super-rare Birkin bag from mom Kris Jenner. "I've never even seen anything like this before!" the makeup mogul gushed of the piece's unique rust-colored hue.

"Waterpark to ourselves!!! It's the Roc & Roe Takeover!!" the father of eight captioned a video from their day of family fun.

"Teresa said, 'My hair has to be over the top,'" Lucia recalled, adding that they "needed hair that was fit for a queen" because the reality star is "the queen of Jersey." The look — which Lucia designed around the bride's massive crown — was comprised of seven bundles of custom keratin fusion extensions, plus one pack of clip-in extensions to add volume, as well as three pieces of mesh and more than 1,500 bobby pins to hold everything in place. At the end of the evening, Lucia said, it took two hours for Teresa's makeup artist to remove the pins. The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star and Louie Ruelas tied the knot on Aug. 6, 2022.

During an Aug. 11, 2022, interview with USA Today, Brooklyn Beckham revealed that he has around 100 tattoos including around 70 dedicated to his wife of just a few months, Nicola Peltz. "She always cries when I get her another tattoo. I always love to surprise her with new ink," he said. The aspiring chef's inked tributes to the "Bates Motel" actress include her eyes on the back of his neck, his wedding vows on his arm, her name on the side of his neck, the letter N on his ring finger, the word "married" on the side of his hand and her late grandmother's name on his wrist. We hope their marriage lasts as long as Brooklyn's collection of body art…

During an interview with AARP The Magazine that debuted online on Aug. 2, 2022, Tyler Perry revealed that he once paid the late, great Cicely Tyson "a million dollars" for "one day of work" on his 2007 dramedy "Why Did I Get Married?" Said the actor-filmmaker, "I took care of Ms. Tyson for the last 15 years of her life. She was a proud woman, and the only reason I mention this is because she wrote it in her book. This woman had done so many amazing things, but she wasn't well compensated for it. She made $6,000 for 'Sounder,' you know? I wanted to make sure she knew that there were people who valued her. … I loved working with her. And it makes me feel great that I was in a position to give this incredible woman some security in her latter years." Cicely — whom Tyler directed in several films over the years — scored an Oscar nomination for her work in the 1973 period drama "Sounder." She died at 96 in January 2021.

On Aug. 17, 2022, Khloe Kardashian took to Instagram to share a slideshow of photos of her 4-year-old daughter, True Thompson, posing with a custom Louis Vuitton handbag that retails for $1,760. The reality star dropped even more dough to have her little girl's purse customized with True's name in big pink letters on one side and a small portrait of the "Sesame Street" character Abby Cadabby on the other. We just want to know why a 4-year-old needs a customized luxury handbag…

On July 16, 2022, DailyMail.com reported that Pete Davidson has been staying in the five-star seaside Crystalbrook Flynn hotel — where a two-bedroom suite will set you back $1,650 per night — while shooting "Wizards!" in Cairns, Australia. That's quite the bill considering the "Saturday Night Live" alum started shooting the comedy in mid-June, and as of mid-August, had yet to wrap his part in the project! But that wasn't the only thing about Pete's time in Australia that made headlines…

On July 20, 2022, DailyMail.com shed some light on the extreme measures Kim Kardashian took to fly under the radar while visiting Pete Davidson in Australia earlier that month. "This is the one percent of time that she doesn't want to have to worry about getting glammed up and just wants to switch off. She's just here to spend time with Pete and has no plans on leaving the hotel. It's a very low-key trip and she doesn't want to be bothered. Kim is happy to say 'hi' to you if you bump into her, but she definitely doesn't want to get her photograph taken on this trip," a source said. Before the mother of four arrived in Australia via private jet, the production company behind Pete's film reportedly asked hotel employees to sign NDAs ensuring that her visit would be kept top-secret. (They also warned that asking Kim for selfies was strictly prohibited.) Kim reportedly used a decoy car — a dirty and decidedly unglamorous 2020 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Wagon with tinted windows — to evade prying eyes while traveling to and from the hotel, which she exited via a loading dock that's typically off limits to guests. (Kim "wasn't pleased" with her basic ride but reportedly "settled" out of necessity.) DailyMail.com reported that while traveling outside the hotel, Kim's security detail took steps to avoid being followed including driving slowly down narrow roads and circling roundabouts multiple times. Perhaps all the hoopla was too much for Pete to bear: He and Kim called it quits just weeks later.

On July 19, 2022, TMZ reported that Floyd Mayweather recently dropped $18K on a custom mink fur-lined car seat so that his grandson can ride with him in his new $345K 2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which features mink fur-lined seats and floors. The car seat features Kentrell Jr.'s name stitched in lime green on the headrest and two cupholders — though we imagine it's probably for the best if the 1-year-old doesn't have access to beverages while inside the extremely pricey whip. Obi Okeke, who's known professionally as Doctor Bugatti, took to Instagram to share a video showing off the lush interiors… for which many minks lost their lives.
