As expected, Leonardo DiCaprio is bringing ‘em in over at Riverhouse. Let’s hope he gets a commission.

Since his announcement back in April that he had purchased a multi-million dollar condo in the eco-friendly apartment building, the 33-year-old actor has influenced the Hollywood crowd to take a closer look; with Tyra Banks most recently throwing down cash for her own green pad. Now it appears that America Ferrera, star of ABC’s Ugly Betty, is also ready to call Riverhouse home. From OK! Magazine,

“The actress, 24 , is spending her summer hiatus looking for the perfect love nest, and it’s no easy feat! ‘She really loves the eco-friendly building that Leonardo DiCaprio lives in,” a pal close to America tells OK!. “That’s her top choice. She’s very envrionmentally conscious.’”

Last August, Ferrera won a bid of $35,000 for a new Toyota Prius during the Hot For Hollywood variety show to benefit AIDS research. Her character Ugly Betty was also recently spotted on a episode sporting an eco-friendly, recycled bag from Rebagz Tie-Tote.

At this rate, the parties down in Battery Park are going to be legendary. America, let us know if you need help moving in!

By all accounts in the media, American Idol’s second-annual “Idol Gives Back” appears to have been a complete success. Last year’s show raised a staggering $76 million — and producers are expecting last night’s event to be even larger. “We’re going to make over $100 million this year. I can feel it,” American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe told the audience at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre. Final numbers are expected shortly.

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera has been tapped to host the third annual Hot in Hollywood charity event in LA August 16 to benefit the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and Real Medicine, a disaster relief organization. Ferrera told US Magazine, “I bought a table the first year with friends and had so much fun watching the performances. Performing in the second year was an honor and a ton of fun… I can’t wait to host this year’s event. This is a cause dear to my heart.” [via US Magazine]

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow was in attendance Monday night at the 2008 Can-Do Awards Dinner for the Food Bank for New York City. The gala couldn’t come at a better time for the organization — which is struggling to keep shelves stocked. “What that means is that there’s less food in food pantries and soup kitchens around the city, and you literally have people standing in line for hours at a time waiting for food, only to be turned away because the food runs out,” said a spokesperson.

If you swear around Abigail Breslin, prepare to part with your cash. The Little Miss Sunshine star created a “swear box” on the set of her new film Nim’s Island and gave the cash to the charity organization called Royal Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals (RSPCA). She said: “All together, with everybody contributing to the swear jar, we made $150 and we donated it to the RSPCA.” [via msn]

When Ugly Betty first premiered, I was steadfast against watching it. Much in the same way I suppose that I railed against Grey’s Anatomy. However, much like Grey’s I was quickly won over by the writing and humor. It’s a hilarious and self-mocking view of the fashion industry that ridiculously twists and turns in more ways than some soap operas could ever dream of. Highly recommended — but I digress…

On a recent episode, character Betty Suarez (played by America Ferrera) carried a large multi-colored Rebagz Tie-Tote. Much like the Ecoist brand we love to promote, these bags are made from recycled materials; specifically juice packs and nylon rice bags. Other celebrities that enjoy the line include Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Heidi Klum, Halle Berry, Sheryl Crow and Serena Williams. Needless to say, the owners of the company are thrilled that so many people are going the recycled route when it comes to fashion acccessories. From the release,

“‘We’re so happy that our Rebagz bags are gaining recognition,’ says Stevens-Heebner. ‘We were both thrilled and surprised to see America Ferrera with her bag on ‘Ugly Betty’ and to be invited to participate in the Pasadena Museum of History’s exhibit.’ The response to Rebagz’s introductory line last summer, ‘…was amazing,” she says, ‘and we’ve added even more exciting eco-friendly designs for 2008.’”
