			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img id="image" class="alignleft" style="left: 0px; margin: 3px 7px; width: 250px; top: 0px; height: 364px;" src="http://services.snipshot.com/scratch/raoi1oqlu.tif/size_250,364/quality_0.45/snipshot.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="364" />Good news, <strong>Moby</strong> fans! It’s just been announced that the vegan musician is set to star in <em>Suck</em> &#8212; a new vampire movie being billed as “Spinal Tap meets The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Moby plays on his vegan reputation as the lead singer of a band called the Secretaries of Steak. Come on vegans, that’s totally funny!</p>
<p><em>Suck</em> follows the misadventures of an optimistically named rock band, The Winners, seemingly doomed to obscurity. Their fortunes change thanks to a meeting with a vampire (played by <strong>Dimitri Coats</strong> of <em>Burning Brides</em>), and they find themselves enjoying their newfound fame, at least until the bloodlust kicks in.</p>
<p>You know, sometimes we veggies get a bad rap for having a crappy sense of humor, so I’m super excited to see Moby showing off those acting chops and having fun with his herbivorous status! I&#8217;ll definitely be there!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/2007/12/03/pitt-gets-more-specific-on-green-building-in-new-orleans/" target="_self">One year ago, <strong>Brad Pitt</strong> took <strong>Ann Curry</strong> on a tour</a> of what he hoped to accomplish with his <a href="http://www.makeitrightnola.org" target="_blank">Make It Right foundation</a> in New Orleans Lower 9th Ward. At that time he told the Today Show anchor, &#8220;You’re going to see life coming in. We’ll have people in homes by the end of next summer.&#8221;</p>
<p>This morning, Pitt was reunited with Curry to talk about how far the foundation has come &#8212; and, true to his word, chat a bit about those people who once more have a roof above their heads. The interview took place in front of one of the first six homes now complete. However, Pitt&#8217;s got big plans for 2009. &#8220;This time next year, you&#8217;re going to see 100 homes here.&#8221; Check out the interview below:</p>

<p>Last night&#8217;s fundraiser for the Waterkeeper Alliance was a complete success &#8212; and the Razz&#8217;s Melissa Rosenberg was on the scene to take some photographs and drop a few notes on the evening. Here are some of her observations:</p>
<p>&#8220;Many guests at the Lexus&#8217; Eco Salon benefit for <a href="http://www.waterkeeper.org" target="_blank">Waterkeeper Alliance</a> drove up to the Chappaqua home of William Wachtel and Annie Zabar in their hybrid cars. Guests mingled throughout three rooms, viewing sustainably design luxury furniture showcased from <a href="http://www.uhurudesign.com" target="_blank">Uhuru</a> and discussing ways live a more luxury sustainable lifestyle and protect our waters&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Chairman of Waterkeeper Alliance, <strong>Robert F Kennedy, Jr.</strong>, gave a passionate speech touching on his faith in our new administration, and how we must invest in clean renewable energy to save our environment and create new jobs. The highlight of the evening was Grammy nominated musician, <strong>James Blunt</strong> who captured the intimate crowd with his talent singing four songs including his mega-hit &#8220;You&#8217;re Beautiful.&#8221; For more information on log onto <a href="http://www.waterkeeper.org/" target="_blank">http://www.waterkeeper.org/</a></p>

<p>At a fundraiser for the <a href="http://www.waterkeeper.org" target="_blank">Waterkeeper Alliance</a> last night, <strong>Robert F.

Kennedy drove his own Lexus hybrid to the event and wanted to share a moment with those working behind the scenes to help make the night a success. As Remy Chevalier said, &#8220;It was nice to see the guy in a different light, loose, in an atmosphere where he felt at ease amongst friends.&#8221;</p>

Well it might have taken us a few weeks, but here at the Razz we can never tell a lie!</p>
<p>Up first are vegan authors and Eugene, Oregon residents, <strong>Beverly Lynn Bennett</strong> and <strong>Ray Sammartano</strong>. Ray and Beverly are the authors of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Vegan-Cooking/dp/1592577709/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1228238837&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Vegan Cooking</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Vegan-Living/dp/1592574173/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1228238837&amp;sr=8-2" target="_blank">The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Vegan Living </a>and<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Bites-Beverly-Lynn-Bennett/dp/1570672210/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1228238837&amp;sr=8-3" target="_blank"> Vegan Bites</a>. Along with that, Ray and Beverly run <a href="http://veganchef.com" target="_blank">VeganChef.com </a>and Beverly writes a column for our favorite magazine crush,<a href="http://vegnews.com" target="_blank"> VegNews</a>.</p>
<p>I had the chance to visit the power duo’s home, sample some of Beverly’s amazing cooking (can anyone say raw desserts?) and dish about all things veg. Check out the Ecorazzi Exclusive video below!</p>

Well, much like his career, the animals that were once cared for there have been scattered in the wind. Most have found new homes, but some &#8212; like Jackson&#8217;s giraffes &#8212; are still awaiting a new place to roam.</p>
<p>Enter <a href="http://www.peta.org" target="_blank">PETA</a>. Stage left.</p>
<p>The animal rights organization is blasting Jackson for not doing better due diligence on the care and conditions of his giraffes. Apparently, after Neverland was dismantled last year, the pop singer <a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/03/19/michael-jackson-loses-pets-to-animal-sanctuary/" target="_self">sold the four giraffes to a US couple that was getting ready to open an animal sanctuary</a>. Those plans are still being finalized, and in the meantime PETA says the giraffes are being held in cages too small. A spokesperson for PETA said:</p>
<p>&#8220;When Jackson faced recent financial troubles, the giraffes were sold to a couple in Page, Arizona, who were reportedly planning to set up a zoo. More than a year later, the giraffes are still confined to pens that allegedly each measure approximately 15ft by 15ft, and the animals reportedly have not been receiving adequate veterinary or husbandry care. If Michael could see the giraffes&#8217; plight for himself, I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;d agree that it&#8217;s bad - really, really bad.”</p>
<p>Will Jacko save the day? Or are these giraffes the same ones that Saturday Night Live claims &#8220;<a href="http://www.mahalo.com/Giraffes_SNL" target="_blank">are plotting to take over the world</a>&#8220;? Stay tuned!</p>
<p>[<strong>UPDATE:</strong> Check out Erin's comments below on a phone call she just had with the new owners of the giraffes! ]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/whitaker_sundance.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10869" style="margin: 3px 5px;" title="whitaker_sundance" src="http://www.ecorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/whitaker_sundance.jpg" alt="forest whitaker" width="213" height="293" /></a>The only thing I know really well about Newark, New Jersey is that it has an airport. That, and there are lots of &#8216;colorful&#8217; descriptions of the area online. Perhaps they are justified, as the Sundance Channel is reportedly developing a new documentary of the city and the problems it&#8217;s facing.</p>
<p>Oscar-winner <strong>Forest Whitaker</strong> is said to be on board to assist Sundance with the new series. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/arts/entertainment-us-newark.html" target="_blank"><em>Reuters</em> is reporting</a> that Whitaker might have a voice-over role &#8212; with producing credits as well.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Whitaker, the Oscar-winning star of &#8220;The Last King of Scotland,&#8221; will serve as an executive producer with the series&#8217; directors, Marc Levin (&#8221;Slam&#8221;) and Mark Benjamin (&#8221;The Last Party&#8221;).</p></blockquote>
<p>With regards to how in the world all this might relate to green, the series is said to address and seek solutions to some of the environmental problems faced by the city; as well as violence, education, and poverty. Look for it to debut in 2009 with an initial order of six half-hour episodes.</p>
