“The Price is Right” Goes Green

No need to adjust the color on your TV set tomorrow when watching “The Price is Right.” The popular CBS game show is going green for a good reason—-Earth Day. In observance of the global tradition, Wednesday’s episode of “The Price is Right” will feature environmentally friendly prizes including cellphones made of recycled materials, solar charging equipment and a recycling cabinet. Adding another shade of green to the mix will be tree hugger Ed Begley Jr. The famous actor/environmentalist will introduce a showcase that includes an electric bike, golf cart and Toyota Prius hybrid car. In addition, trips offered during … Continue reading →

Celeb Goes Overboard to be “Green?”

Okay, I am all for conservation. I am willing to do my part. But, when Sheryl Crow suggested I use only one square of toilet paper in the bathroom, I was a bit put off. I mean seriously, who is she to be telling me how much toilet paper I should use? Ask me to cut down – that is fine. But to dictate how many squares I should use? She came out later to say it was a joke, but honestly, sometimes celebrities are so arrogant and self-righteous, I just wonder! Now another celebrity has come up with a … Continue reading →

Arnold Schwarzenegger Goes Green

Well… he does have teenage children. But, that may not be the only reason California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is going green this Earth Day… on MTV. The actor-turned-politician is scheduled to appear tonight on the popular MTV show “Pimp My Ride.” Before you let your imagination get the best of you, you should know that Schwarzenegger’s appearance is part of his latest promotion to boost his environmental agenda. (In other words he’s appearing on the show on Earth Day for a reason.) Schwarzenegger’s aides say their boss’s appearance on MTV is the latest move to generate attention to environmentally friendly … Continue reading →

Here Comes the Microcar

I live in a relatively small city in the Upper Midwest portion of the United States far, far away from the cutting edge “left coast” where “green” concept cars are a dime a dozen. Around here people care about the environment, but getting motorists to trade in their gas-guzzling “Ram Tough” 4×4’s for an eco-friendly vehicle that looks like a roller skate on four wheels could be a long time coming. Or is it? The big news around the state came is that motorists are one step closer to being allowed to drive new energy-efficient microcars on local streets. Microcars … Continue reading →

California Looks At A Pet Neutering Law

The state that is home to the American Kennel Club’s second largest dog show is looking at some pretty strict legislation to help curb pet overpopulation. California’s Assemblyman Lloyd Levine is sponsoring a bill that would require pet owners to sterilize their dogs and cats by the time the pet is four months old or face a hefty fine. The bill squeaked by in the Assembly, passing by a single vote. If passed by the California State Senate, the bill would be the nation’s biggest and baddest pet sterilization law. The goal is to reduce the number of dogs and … Continue reading →

Bob Geldolf vs. Al Gore

In this corner: Bob Geldolf, former front-man of The Boomtown Rats and the man who organized the Live Aid and Live 8 benefit concerts. And in this corner: former vice-president and resident greenie Al Gore. Both ready to do battle. Ding. Ding. Gore probably outweighs Geldolf by the equivalent of a dozen Sanjaya Malakars, but Geldolf is the one who has been getting in the most jabs. Most recently Geldolf has come out swinging at the politician-turned environmental activist, criticizing the Live Earth music events Gore is putting together this summer, saying they lack a specific goal. In a previous … Continue reading →

Juicy Hollywood Tidbits – May 14, 2007

The Terminator Without Schwarzenegger? Two entrepreneurs, Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson, have bought the rights to the film franchise “Terminator” and have said they are planning a fourth installment, which will hit the theaters in 2009. Of course, we all know that the original Terminator, former body builder Arnold Schwarzenegger, is currently the governor of California, so it is unlikely he will appear in the upcoming film. So what is a Terminator movie without the Terminator? Kubicek and Anderson have said this film will concentrate on the character John Connor, as he tries to save mankind. The character has been … Continue reading →

Paying More At The Pump… And For Pizza?

How much are you paying for a gallon of gas these days? According to AAA, gas prices set a record high on Monday, averaging $3.07 for a gallon of self-serve regular in the United States. In Vail, Colorado the price of a gallon of regular unleaded is hovering around $4. The spike in gas has me clutching my pizza coupons very tightly. After all, the high price of gas is bound to create a domino effect that will soon mean we will all be paying more for the pizza we get delivered to our doors via gas guzzling pizza delivery … Continue reading →

Trump Stirs Up More Controversy

With Rosie O’Donnell recently announcing her departure from ABC’s “The View” you had to know that her rival Donald Trump would not remain silent for long. (I think it took him about 2.16 seconds to issue a statement after the news of her leaving was broadcast.) I’ll get to their ongoing battle in a bit, but first I wanted to clear up rumors about Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent appearance on Trump’s TV show “The Apprentice: Los Angeles.” For some reason I allow myself to get sucked into “The Apprentice,” season after season (this year was no different). On the March … Continue reading →
