I’m not a vegetarian. I happen to love meat; I even dated a guy for his selection of beef until he caught on. Tonight, I was thinking of making juicy pork tenderloin, of course that was before I checked out the gossip for this week over at Ecorazzi. A cute little post, by my brother, Mike d’Estries spoke of the SaveBabe initiative out of Australia. Celebrities, including James Cromwell and Jessica Napier support the project. On the site, they seek individuals, “committing not to eat factory-farmed pork, bacon or ham – or by resolving not to eat these sensitive, intelligent animals at all - you will be lodging your vote against the cruelty of factory-farming. By leaving pork products on supermarket shelves, you will empower our call for change.” After I browsed the website, my taste-buds and heart rejected tonight’s dinner plans. Thanks Mike.

Sir Philip Green is a British billionaire businessman who owns some of the United Kingdom's largest retailers and also happens to be their 4th richest man decided to throw himself and a birthday bash with 100 of his closet celebrity friends, the likes of Simon Cowell and Kate Moss will be in attendance. He’s flying everyone out to the Soneva Fushi Spa, a community offering ‘Intelligent Luxury’ and an eco-experience on this private island in the Maldives, complete with treehouses. It sounds incredible and beautiful, but his latest extravaganza will leave a heavy carbon footprint; each of his guests will generate 1.9 tonnes of carbon dioxide on their 17,000km round trip. Or he could invite all his friends, drink loads of wine and pretend they're far away. Come on Sir “Green”!

Also, Ecorazzi ran a story this past week about M. Night Shyamalan’s new flick, The Happening. The New York Times article is picking up on a trend in Hollywood villainy.

From the article:

“The Happening” will not be the only big-budget studio film to test a new kind of villainy, in which the real victim is the environment, and, whatever the plot variations, the enemy is all of us. Beginning this summer and for months after, movies as diverse as the “The Simpsons Movie,” “Transformers,” a remake of “Creature From the Black Lagoon,” and James Cameron’s “Avatar” will take on environmental themes.

Everyday people play the real monsters — not being eco-friendly will be the equivalent of the modern day slasher movie. It’s up to you if you choose to play along. Check in for gossip next week and if you have any ideas for dinner tonight — let me know.
