SETH GREEN - GREEN'S TIGHT-WALLET LED TO PRIUS PURCHASE

Actor SETH GREEN is the proud owner of an environmentally friendly car - but only because it's cheaper than a gas guzzler.
The Austin Powers star insists he didn't buy a Toyota Prius to follow in the footsteps of other Hollywood celebrities going green.
He was motivated by his desire to save money - as well as his hatred of carpooling.
Green says, "I bought a Prius because gas was just outrageous and I'm cheap. And I was commuting a lot in L.A. driving to and from work. It's horribly ugly. It's not an attractive car at all.
"I had that thing going 111 miles per hour out to San Diego so it goes fast. And the best thing about it is I have those stickers on it so I can drive single-passenger in the high occupancy vehicle lane."
