Nicole Richie attends a Coachella BBQ in 2011

We're going to be honest. The caption for this photo says that it shows Nicole Richie attending a Coachella BBQ thrown by Mulberry last year in Palm Springs. The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is held in Indio, not Palm Springs. So we're not sure if Nicole made it to any concerts. She did, however, look quite stylish at the Mulberry event.

Rihanna at the 2011 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Rihanna looks less than impressed with whatever she is watching onstage during Coachella 2011. Perhaps for a pop star of such serious magnitude, it's possible that seeing a show that is not up to her personal standards is difficult to endure. Or maybe she just doesn't care for the band. Or the song. Or it's just been a long day and she wants to go back to her hotel. We're going to stop now, because we really have no idea what the lovely and talented lady is thinking.

Kirsten Dunst at the 2011 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Much like Katy Perry, Kirsten Dunst was right there with the throng of regular folks, dancing the night away at Coachella 2011. Frankly, if you're going to go, you may as well have the full festival experience, right?

Kelly Osbourne at the 2011 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Kelly Osbourne, daughter of Sharon and Ozzy, likes Coachella so much that she came back in 2011. Here's a question: Her father is known as the Prince of Darkness; anyone else think that perhaps this influences Kelly's fashion choices? Look at this outfit—it is perhaps the opposite of what you might think the Daughter of the Prince of Darkness would wear. So would that make Kelly... the Princess of Light? Let's not overthink this one.

Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton at the 2011 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Remember Nicky Hilton? She's Paris Hilton's sister. Paris gets a lot more press, what with her steady stream of reality shows and other activity. Nicky is, by comparison, the quiet one. But she's no wallflower, and neither is Paris. Here both sisters are right up front, possibly more in front than the average audience member—being a Hilton has its privileges.

Katy Perry at the 2011 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Katy Perry is becoming increasingly difficult to dislike. Whether or not you enjoy her music, she seems like fun, someone who knows how to enjoy herself. For example—this pic of Katy checking out the Sleigh Bells show at Coachella 2011. She's down in the thick of the crowd, having fun, and waving what appears to be a lightsaber. Life is good for Katy.

Beyoncé at the 2010 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Here is the always beautiful and impossibly talented Beyoncé mingling with the regular folks while sipping a can of Red Bull at Coachella 2010. We don't think the no-longer-single-lady will make it this year, though, since she and Jay-Z are enjoying their time with new baby Blue Ivy. Bonus video: Here is Beyoncé's beau performing at Coachella 2010.

Dita Von Teese at the 2009 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese is a fashion icon; it is said that she never appears in public unless she looks her best. This shot of Dita at Coachella 2009 is probably about as dressed down as she gets. Well, except for when she's undressed. But that's different.

Actor Adrian Grenier at the 2009 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Entourage star Adrian Grenier soaks up some sun and an admiring gaze from a lovely gal at the Coachella 2009. In addition to acting, Grenier plays drums in a band called the Honey Brothers. You know the name of their keyboardist/ukulele player? Ari Gold. We kid you not.

Actress Kate Bosworth and Model James Rousseau at the 2009 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Here we have Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns) and model James Rousseau looking a bit too cool for school at Coachella 2009. That was back when they were an item, which it appears they no longer are. (Here's our source for this information. Best we could do.) We have no idea if they broke up because of a musical disagreement. You know, she likes rap, he likes indie pop... we're going to keep pitching this Coachella rom-com idea until somebody tells us to stop.

Drew Barrymore at the 2009 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Drew Barrymore not only went to Coachella in 2009, she looked like she belonged there! Check out the eye makeup... well, face-painting... something in between the two. Either way, Drew looks like she's enjoying herself.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon at the 2009 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Could these two be any cuter? Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon were at Coachella in 2009; here they are checking out a Jenny Lewis performance. Couldn't this pic have been pulled from a movie? In fact, that could be a movie—Jake and Reese play two young people who meet at Coachella and discover their shared passion for music. But then one of them wants to go hear some rap, the other prefers indie pop... what will they decide? C'mon, you've seen worse at your local multiplex.

David Hasselhoff and Kelly Osbourne at the 2008 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

It almost sounds like the start of a bad joke—"David Hasselhoff and Kelly Osbourne walk into the Coachella Festival..." But there they are, the Hoff and Ozzy and Sharon's daughter Kelly. Kelly joined Mark Ronson onstage for "Stop Me"; we found a fan clip on YouTube. No word on what the Hoff was doing, besides not being hassled. Because (wait for it) you don't hassel [sic] the Hoff.

Photographer Brantley Gutierrez and Cameron Diaz at the 2007 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Yeah, Cameron Diaz looks great no matter what. Seriously, how lucky is photographer Brantley Gutierrez to be hanging out on a lawn with her? And he's looking at his camera! Dude. Seriously? C'mon. We'll go ahead and assume he took a few pictures to remember the moment.
