Looks like Neve Campbell’s television mini-series called Burn Up is pulling in some eyeballs. Part I of the eco-thriller drew 2.4 million households during its debut last night. The plot deals with Big Oil clashing with an environmentalist (played by Campbell) who’s brought on for what’s eventually revealed to be a massive greenwashing venture. I’m sure Big Oil is loving it.

US Magazine is devoting a several page spread in their July 28th issue to what celebrities are doing to be more green — but they’re not letting the gloss distract from the real issue: these people have huge carbon footprints! They break it down in a handy graph (scanned in here) and also call some celebs on their hypocrisy. Most surprising? Grey’s Anatomy star Kate Walsh flew to a sustainable living event in San Diego on June 14th — in a private jet.

Kate Walsh actually flew to the US Open golf championship. The fact that one of the sponsors of the US Open was a sustainable living group, doesn’t necessarily mean that the two were linked in any way !!

Thanks for that update, Matt. US Weekly really stretched the truth on that one…
I just want to go to Josh Dorfman’s new store. I’d be in eco heaven!
