I think it depends on the model, not the brand itself. F430s are pretty much accessories, every celebrities got one as their Ferrari. Same with the Gallardo, and definitely true for a lot of the 911 range.
But then, you get models like the 430 Scud, Murcielago, & GT 911s. There are barely any celebrities dishing out the cash for such cars because they're not anywhere as usable everyday. Patrick Dempsey, in fact, is the only celebrity who seems to actually use such a car every day.
But I also think the reason Ferrari gets such a "rap" is because they don't really produce anything anymore that's hardcore, thus any show-off can drive one. 430 Scuderias & 16Ms are about the most unfriendly Ferraris around right now, and I've seen more of those than the base models themselves recently. The reason Lamborghini usually isn't seen as much of an accessory is because well, the name Ferrari is still wanted more. A lot of people do believe you've made it somewhere in life once you have a Ferrari, that Ferrari represents success.
It's not a common thought within Porsche or Lamborghini. People like to see them as something else.
