Not too long ago, we brought you news that there would be a BugE electric vehicle which would be auctioned off on eBay within the next few weeks. Guess what? That time has come. Of course you can see the cool little widget above which allows the auction to be seen here on ABG, but alternatively, you can check out the auction page here.

Here is what their page says about the vehicle:

"The green clean zero emissions BugE, built especially by Harvey Coachworks of Knoxville, MD is an electric vehicle (EV) that draws its power from electricity stored in batteries, instead of from the combustion of liquid fuels. It is a low cost street-legal all electric personal mobility vehicle that functions in a 3 1/2 season environment. It is a super-efficient and stylish ride that costs about one penny per mile to operate, and recharges in about four hours from any home outlet."

This one's a bit different, of course, 'cause it's been signed by a bunch of celebrities and is painted a different color. That color makes it look even more Bug-ee than before, we'd say.

We always like to report on celebrities driving hybrids, and now we can add two more to the list. But, this one has a twist! The celebs are a couple, and they are sharing their Prius between themselves! What could be better than driving a Prius? Sharing a Prius, of course, and that is exactly what Hollywood couple Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell are doing. According to this article, Rebecca was the green one of the family, and she seems to have talked some green sense into her new husband. Jerry admits to driving the Prius, and he is actually filming a new movie called, oddly enough, Carpoolers. Jerry also said that he gets "angry if people don't recycle." Rebecca says of her husband, "Jerry decided to put solar panels in." Sounds like the transformation is complete!

Below, you will find a few stories of other celebrities who choose to drive green. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it is a start:

• Paris Hilton gives up her Range Rover for an Escape Hybrid, is scared for the environment
• Owen Wilson thanks Woody Harrelson for turning him on to the green
• Jennifer Aniston joins the growing list of celebrities driving the Prius
• Celebrity roll call: who's driving what to help the environment?
