It's expensive to be famous. Primping for the public eye prompts some stars to spend on their looks what the average American makes in a year. Here's a list of the biggest spenders.
After being lambasted by the press for her wan look and too-skinny figure, Katie Holmes traveled to Japan in March 2009 for the Japanese premiere of Valkyrie - and a $42,400 makeover! The star reportedly spent $28,000 on veneers, $10,000 on spa treatments, $2,900 for hair extensions and $1,500 for makeup, all to return herself to her long haired, healthy-looking Joey Potter glory.

At 40, Jennifer Aniston has pulled off the incredible feat of looking better than the average 25 year old. How does she do it? Money, honey. Aniston insisted that her hairstylist (and good friend) Chris McMillan accompany her on her week-long trip to Europe to promote her movie, Marley & Me. McMillan traveled to and from London first class, stayed in top hotels, and billed over $2000 per day for his hair styling services - putting his total cost around $50,000.

Demi Moore stayed out of the spotlight for nearly a decade while she raised her family. And she returned for 2003's Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle looking, well, exactly like she did when we last saw her. The GI Jane star reportedly spent close to $500,000 on a head to toe surgical makeover, which she debuted to the world in a bathing suit scene, holding her own against the much younger figures of Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in the movie.

Behold, Madonna in 2009 at 50, versus Madonna in 1987 at 29. Not much of a difference, is there? Sure, she's traded a little baby fat for a chiseled jaw, and plucked her Brooke Shields brows, but Madge has clearly spent a pretty penny keeping her up her looks. We'd expect nothing less from the original Material Girl.

We are loving Katie Holmes' return to long, luscious locks. After going mad for cropped looks like Katie's previous bob, and trendsetting Victoria Beckham's short do, we suddenly crave a big, full head of hair. Time for extensions!
Remember when Katie Holmes was better known as Dawson's love interest than the taller half of TomKat? When she was more likely to dress like she shopped at JCPenney than in Paris? And when she had that long, thick hair? Well, that Katie is back! Or, at least, 
Although we couldn't find any photos of Katie not clinging to husband Tom Cruise (lame), we did think she looked supremely stunning in this sparkly gown and strappy sandals. Tom sure likes 'em tall, doesn't he?
Katie Holmes has basically built herself a whole new career out of being married to Tom Cruise -- well, that -- and shopping. In large part because of her habit, the actress has reportedly put about $14 million dollars back into our economy over the past six months.
How does TomKat sound as a label? The name has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Well, somehow we doubt that the line will actually be called that, but Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may be shopping around for a designer to help them get a fashion project off the ground -- and no,
