Just for fun....celebrity mini owners!

Did you know that Madonna, Goldie Hawn and Sting own minis? I thought it was fun that Sting owns a mini because I'm playing one of his CDs in my mini right now!! Just a bit of fun, "fluff" mini talk! Oh and I wonder what kind and color minis they drive?

Brian K. Vaughan owns one.
He's not a movie/music celebrity, he's sort of a comic book celebrity, with potential to become a movie celebrity. He owns a MCC not sure if it's an S or not. Very cool guy.

Anyone into comics, he writes "Y the Last Man", "Ex Machina" and "The Runaways" all very good books.

Penn Gillette owns 3 MINIs, and I know that at least one of them is what he calls "stripper pink!" LOL! I met him at the first AMVIV...very nice guy and he was very much into MINIs and happy to see us all there.

I don't know if she still has one, but Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's wife, who shares my exact date of birth, including the year, had a Jet Black MCS, exactly like mine.

And of course, Ms. Britney Spears has a MINI Cabrio...which we all know after the paparazzi shot her zooming along with her baby installed improperly in the backseat of the MINI.

And I think Whoopi Goldberg has one, too!

I think improper installation voids warranty -- and boy am I glad I don't have that option

Whatshername -- the woman who won America's Top Model a couple years ago and who is on that silly show about her wedding/marriage to Christopher Knight (Peter Brady): she drives one. It's Hyper Blue, I think.

Alan Jackson HAD one...I saw it for sale in Nashville (not at the MINI dealer) and it was a replica of the one I ended up buying. They wanted a little too much for it though IMO, but only had like 3K miles on it.

Bob Snodgrass, owner of Brumos Racing, drives this very nice MINI. I got to chat MINIs with him at MidOhio.

I saw Goldie Hawn driving a MINI in Santa Monica about a year ago.


Heather Locklear had one but she sold it to Mickey from SCMM.

My guess is that most celebrities don't own a MINI very long. Just a passing fancy until the next one comes along.

Neil Gaiman (Writer) has a convertible of some sort. I don't think it's black though.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Jennifer Love Hewitt "incident" where she ran out of gas and had to have several paparazzi help her push her MINI to a gas station.

Edit: Looks like BocRon beat me by a minute!

Trot Nixon (right fielder for the Red Sox) has owned one for a few years. I've seen him zipping away from Fenway in it several times. It's Chili Red, natch.

Peter Egan from Road & Track owned one, and I think it was bought by a fellow NAMer.
