Celebrities Who Own/Have Owned Corvettes

For something different, please list celebrities you know of who have owned or currently own a corvette. Be as specific as you can about the corvette, what year, color, etc.

I'll start with Jay Leno's navy blue metallic 1999 6 speed coupe. http://www.corvettemagazine.com/2000...eno/lenop1.asp

Really, I didn't know that.

I knew he was in a car accident but had no idea it was a Vette he was in.

BTW....Def Leppard is great.
