...expect our movie stars to drive sleek, high-end automobiles. So why have Cameron Diaz's Porsche and Mercedes been gathering dust in her garage for the past four months? Because these days the stylish actress tools around Tinseltown in a $20,000 Toyota Prius--a hybrid car that swings both ways, alternately guzzling climate-heating gasoline and sipping environmentally friendly electricity. What the car lacks in class it makes up in fuel savings and reduced emissions. "I love my Prius," says Diaz, 29, who reports that the batteries on her luxury cars have both died from neglect.

...that Raitt has much opportunity for courtship in her current schedule. On tour, her days begin with a morning walk or bike ride in whatever town she's performing in--her trusty Bianchi hybrid bicycle travels with her.

...Metheny’s solo work is more artistically complete, it is with the Pat Metheny Group that he has obtained and maintained his greatest popularity. Metheny and the Group worked their way through 20 years worth of repertoire and a seemingly endless line of guitars, including a mutant hybrid monster that fused the bodies of a standard six-string guitar, a lute and a zither. While Metheny adeptly negotiated his way through a minefield of special effects pedals, the sheer variety of guitars he handled bordered on sensory overload. To mix textures while keeping musical flow...
