The truth? Even B-listers get to skip the lines at the DMV. Like, every day. Clay Aiken has skipped lines at the DMV, for the love of Pattz! Yes. Really.

Stars do still have to take (and pass) the same tests, though, which apparently surprised and weirded out Selena Gomez. They just do it way faster.

Want some more celebrity line-skippers? Here...

Castle's Nathan Fillion just last month told a reporter that "[he doesn't] have to wait in line at the DMV. That's a big thing."

And hey, look over there! Heroes shrieker Masi Oka just cut in line in front of you at the DMV, and he didn't even teleport or anything! "I don't have to wait in line at the DMV," he recently said. "I'll cut in front of people for a bowling lane or a table at a restaurant. OK, that might be obnoxious for people who've been waiting an hour." Well, Masi, at least they got to bask in your thrilling, time-jumping presence.

Katherine Heigl has reportedly skipped the line at the DMV via a VIP door that's also been used by Madonna and other big shots.
