Celebs Going “Green”

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

As most of you know the term “green” usually refers to the maybe, and I say maybe because do we know of the long term effects of these current alternative fuels and energies?, better alternative fuels and types of energy. To me most are just band aids of what I have read and heard of environmentalists talk about. They say we need to find alternative fuel sourced and energies, which I’m all for, as long as it’s cheaper and becomes practical and easy. But then I see hybrid cars and other things in that nature that to me are just basically the same thing as normal cars, just do not have to go to the gas station as much, and shouldn’t it release the same about of “harmful” carbons but just take longer? Then there are electric cars, I guess its “green” but how do you get most of the electricity, or enough electricity if everyone had those types of cars. Also it is just too new; the batteries alone just cost way too much and are not efficient enough form to take the plunge into those cars. I’ll try to do my par, in other ways.

Anyways as the title reads many celebs have taken the plunge into going “green”. Also since they are celebs and in the media’s attention all the time, along with millions of people who look up to them they can make a huge impact and even get some of their fellow celeb friends into going “green” as well. Hey millions of people take after their fashions and whatnot why not this? One of these celebs that have gone “green” is Owen Wilson, from “You, Me and Dupree” and “The Wedding Crashers”, has done many things, and continuing to do more things to help out in the cause. One of the first things he did was he got a Prius, which is a hybrid car. After he read and heard more about what is going wrong with the environment and how serious it was he decided to do a few more things to help out. He decided to add some solar panels do his house to power things up. And I’m sure he will continue to spread awareness and continue to do his part in saving our environment. He also wrote a piece for a book entitled “The Green Book: The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time”, as you can read from the title it is about going “green” and what you can do to help out.

But you know Owen Wilson is not the only celeb to have gone green, so siry. Here are just some celebs that I found that have gone “green”, in no order either, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Leo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, that NSync singer Justin Timberlake, that super hilarious son of a gun Will Ferrell, and none other than George Clooney. Most of those people drive the hybrid Prius. But one stands out to me, and that person is George Clooney since he drives the electric car, which is kind of cool. I’m sure there are more, and will be more but those are the ones I found.

Now it’s your turn readers, what do you think about this environmental talk? Do you agree or disagree, and why. Do you know anymore celebs that are “green”, or are yourself gone “green”?

George Clooney in Italy

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Many celebrities do this for others out of the kindness of their heart, also it makes them look good, well George Clooney, may know him from Ocean’ 11, 12, and 13 and many other movies and if your a chick you most likely know this man :lol: , is no exception. But Clooney’s work was a bit different than normal good deeds celebrities participate in.

What Cloony participated in was a protest in some building contracts that were going to build more parking lots, you may be think so what more parking lots, but first let me tell you where this is all taking place. It is at Clooney’s house in Laglio, Italy; it is a small town near a harbor. One of the main reasons why they are thinking of building new and more parking lots along with other structures is because Clooney’s presence there has increased the tourism in the small town.

So what Clooney, along with many of the other townsfolk did was they protested and signed a petition, he was one of them, he did not want this lovely town to be destroyed because of him. Also might have been because he may want privacy when he goes there, which is very understandable. With three fourths of the town’s signatures on the petition the mayor throughout the plans to build most of the construction plans and harming the harbor. So for now the town is saved till more plans, or the left over plans get back into the works again. Even though the problem might have been caused by Clooney at least he did his part in trying to stop the problem, and it looks like he succeeded.

Ben Stiller “In Deep”?

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Ben Stiller has been reported to be working on a new movie entitled “In Deep”. Right now he is only producing the movie, but he may just star in it as well. The movie is basically about a man who gets a parking ticket, and tries to get out of it, along with all the other nightmares that go along with it. And during the whole time after getting the ticket he finds himself in more, and more criminal allegations.

I’m hoping this will be another great comedy from Stiller, but if not, it sure will hopefully be a great movie in general.

Steve Carell

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Steve Carell, or better known as Brick from “Anchorman”, Was one of the lucky few to be invited to be a voter for the prestigious Academy Awards. Reason why is was one a lucky few is because only 150 people are elected into it, and they want to have less and less because there are about 6,000 in it. Steve completly deserves the invite mainly because of all the hilarious movies he was in, and the unparalleled acting he did in “Anchorman”, “40 Year Old Virgin”, and many others, along with many more to come, like “Even Almighty”.

Also they just don’t accept A’ list celebrities and movie stars, they also accept directors, producers, graphic designers, editors, basically anyone that works on movies or on a set. So just to be selected out of all the people eligible is a huge honor. You can also basically say who gets to carry home one of those coveted golden man.

Steve Carell was not the only A’ lister celebrity to make it on the headlines and make it in the Academy, Jennifer Aniston, or Rachel Green from “Friends”. She again is one of the lucky few. She also to me deserves it for her phenomenal job in “Friends”, along with many other great movies, like “Office Space”.

Depp and Fourth Pirates of the Caribbean?

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Johnny Depp said he was up for another Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Which would put the series at four if they make another one.

depp pirates doing things right

That is what Depp said, and its true. But maybe making another one might ruin the already great series, and I don’t think a lot of people would like that, but on the other hand it might make the series just that much better.depp pirates new story

The stories already have been good and funny, maybe one that would be even more funny and insane might make the series even better, hopefully they don’t take it over the top.

Anyways thats just what Depp said to Entertainment Weekly magazine. Be pretty cool if they continued with the series, but if not that still cool to. If you would like to read more about the story go here.
