    Beyonce Knowles
    The hairy dude from ZZ Top?
    Master P?
    Lil' Romeo?

    Patrick Swayze is a sexy actress.


    Actually, I knew that Shannon Elizabeth was from Houston, and Hilary Duff was from Houston.


    You know what, just read the bio of them at imdb.com

    That is how I learned that Eve Mendes was from Houston. Just because they are listed as from Houston, doesn't mean they live here.


    If they did, I would be one happy man, because Shannon Eliz is hottie hot.

    I don't think he's a native, but Kenny Rogers often says he is "from Houston." Dude used to work at Astroworld while playing gigs in the evenings.

    Pretty sure they're Dallasites... or Fort Worthites, possibly.
