Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter's home run is a venti java chip frappuccino and once-upon-a-time rapper Vanilla Ice orders nothing other than a dry grande vanilla latte, the workers report.

While some of these orders may pack on the pounds, your typical cup of coffee speeds up metabolism and breaks down fat by freeing fatty acids that are immediately burned, according to fitwise.com. Hence, the appeal among Hollywood's hottest.

"Caffeine acts directly upon the central nervous system. It brings about an almost immediate sense of clearer thought and lessens fatigue," added Dr. Earl Mindell, author of "The Vitamin Bible for the 21st Century."

"But these benefits may far be outweighed by side effects such as depression, anxiety, insomnia and headaches," he added.

So while drinking copious amounts of coffee might not be the healthiest habit, it's still hip to sip in the Hollywood Hills.

But it's not only the famous and fortunate who are fond of the fat cup.

"A coffee cup is certainly a fashion must-have," Yanoshik said. "And the bigger the better. It adds a bit of bling to the outfit."
