    I was watching the show "Iconoclasts" on Sundance Channel last night and caught a great interview with Paul Newman and Robert Redford together. They were shooting from the back seat and the first thing that caught my eye was the display. I thought oh that must be the Lexus hybrid...my eyes drifed to the logo on the steering wheel and it dawned on me that he was driving a Prius! That shot my reading of his admiration-o-meter off the chart. The interview was awesome...and so are they.

    I know of only one "star" that owns a Prius for sure (other than Paul) and that's Stuart Townsend. Anyone else have the scoop on who owns and who is only rumored to own?

    Cameron Diaz supposedly drives a pimped out prius with like 20G's worth of mods including flat screens in her head rests, for her buds.

    I recall (from an interview on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno) that Owen Wilson owns a Prius, as well as a Porsche.

    Yes, and unmasked, TLR turns out to be...BILL MERCHANT! :p

    (Where IS Bill these days, anyway?)

    Ed Begley, Jr. ("St. Elsewhere") feels so strongly that he personally drove his Prius coast-to-coast last year, stopping at pre-selected cities along the way to give prearranged pro-hybrid talks.

    And like most folks in my little circle, Ed's primary vehicle is a Rav4EV.

    Neil Patrick Harris (aka Doogie Howser aka Barney on How I Met Your Mother) has one too. Read an interview blurb that he named it Judas...as in Judas Prius. Apparently very similar to a band, called Judas Priest. :rolleyes:
