Just recently, Nicole Scherzinger jumped into a Prius after landing at LAX. We're not saying we hope Nicole buys a Prius for herself but she's so hot she really can pull anything off.
Just recently, our friend Brett Berk, a contributor for Vanity Fair had the pleasure of sitting down with actor Bradley Cooper. You might be asking yourself why would we care. Well, we care because this interview was a little different than the other interviews Bradley's been doing lately. In this interview there was one topic and one topic only: Cars.
It's no secret that the characters Bradley plays have great taste in cars but the real question is does Bradley share the same love off screen in his real life? According to his interview with Vanity Fair, Bradley confesses to owning a 2007 Toyota Prius, a 2004 G55 AMG Mercedes as well as a Vespa. Yes, a scooter. And he's in love with it! He told Brett "I cannot stop riding that Vespa. I dream about it when I’m away." Now that's what we call true love.
Towards the end of the interview, Bradley told Brett his dream car is the BMW Z8 but that he doesn't have any future plans on replacing the G55 or the Prius for it. Unfortunately he probably wouldn't replace the Vepsa for it either. We get the feeling he'll never replace the Vespa.

Last weeks "Guess Who" was Emily Blunt getting into her Prius. Tough one considering so many celebs drive Prius' around!
Kate Hudson was recently spotted picking up her son Ryder after school in her Toyota Prius. With another little one on the way now she might have to upgrade to something with a little more room. We wouldn't mind seeing Kate running around in the new Porsche Cayenne hybrid. What would you suggest?
Another celebrity, another Prius. We know, we know but actress Natalie Portman is on a hot streak lately between winning both a Golden Globe award and a SAG award for her performance in Black Swan. Maybe with the new baby on the way she'll have to spring for a larger car. Maybe a hybrid SUV?
Supermodel and super mom Claudia Schiffer was spotted outside her sons school in London yesterday with her ever so thrifty and ever so green Toyota Prius. We know we just reported on her a couple days ago but she's easy on the eyes... what else can we say!
As far as we're concerned, there are more or less 70 celebrities that we've spotted driving a Prius but we'd guess that we've only seen a fraction of all the celebs with Prius' in their garages.. This hippie car sure did make a lot of Hollywood celebrities guilty of spewing out toxic wastes from their cars, so they made sure they all rode the environment-friendly bandwagon. It would be a drag to list them all here, but here are some of them who you might care knowing.
Aside from Rachel Bilson who parades her Prius on every corner of Hollywood, there are other actresses who own and drive this car. For starters, Emily Blunt, heavy-hitters Cameron Diaz, Julianne Moore, Emily Deschanel and Demi Moore all own one. Others include Sophie Monk, british actress Carey Mulligan, Natalie Portman, Miley Cyrus, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Selma Hayek and Ally McBeal's Calista Flockhart.

The Prius seems to be working its wonders on the alpha male force of show business too. Dustin Hoffman, David Duchovny, Bradley Cooper, Forest Whitaker, Matt Damon, Zachary Quinto, Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks all own a Prius in their garages. It seems to be a huge hit among comedians as well: Will Ferrel, Anna Farris and Simpsons creator Matt Groening are also said to have a Prius.

With that kind of celeb force backing this car up, it's safe to say that the Toyota Prius is more than just a hippie car that makes celebrities feel good about themselves, it's also a wise investment. Who knows, maybe there are more than 500 Prius celebrity owners in Hollywood and all over the globe. They sure have the money for the special order tax that goes along with its price tag.

Even one of the most respected and successful actresses in Hollywood drives a Prius. Julia was spotted getting back to her white Prius after visiting a friend in Santa Monica. We're really hoping that in a years time we see Julia Roberts in a Chevrolet Volt. Fingers crossed.
It's not surprising that Hollywood up-and-comers go crazy to drive a Toyota Prius, and Beverly Hills 90210 star Shenae Grimes is no different. Meh, why can't the cars of these young actresses be more like Vanessa Hudgens' or Miley Cyrus'. Those kids roll like real millionaires.
Nicole Richie was seen having a great time inside a friend's Prius. We could only imagine what's in her head. "How dare you pick me up in this junk of a ride? Ha! Ha! Ha!"
