La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! It’s time to sing for Mother Earth.

On Wednesday, May 20th, actors Jason Mewes, Andrew Keegan, Kate French and many more will head down to the Key Club in West Hollywood to attend the Surfrider Foundation’s inaugural Blue Note Karaoke Experience.

Unlike traditional karaoke, at Blue Note you get up on stage and sing with a live band!! Basically the coolest idea ever!

The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches for all people.

Having lived in Florida for the first 18 years of my life, I have a special appreciation for the glory that is an awesome beach! Therefore, I am extra pleased as punch to hear that a slew of eco-minded celebs are auctioning off their shoes for the Surfrider Foundation – an organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches for all people, through conservation, activism, research and education.

The Barefoot Wine Rescue Project is a part of eBay’s Giving Works program and will feature shoes donated by Jack Johnson, Cameron Diaz, Matthew McConaughey, Kelly Slater, Sophia Bush, Andrew Keegan and many more!

“Barefoot Wine is committed to helping make beaches ‘barefoot-friendly’ through the Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project,” said Jeremy Soine of Barefoot Wines. “We’re donating 100% of the proceeds from this charity auction to support the Surfrider Foundation’s ongoing efforts to keep our world’s beaches healthy for generations to come.”

So if you just gotta, gotta, gotta own a pair of famous shoes, make sure you visit eBay before December 12th and get involved. Happy Bidding!

Andrew Keegan to Host Hollywood’s First Green Charity Event

This is one party that I would sooo love to attend. Hosted by Andrew Keegan, Humanitaire will be benefiting Global Green USA, a nonprofit that works to create a sustainable planet. Global Green will be getting 100% of the ticket sales. But not only is Humanitaire for a green cause–it’s actually a green event itself.

On August 29 this mean green scene will include a green carpet made by bio cell technologies, a grassroots garden for green sponsors, a green gallery of local artists, and services to promote eco-friendly awareness to event goers. Even the “Battle of the DJ’s” at the event will be run on bio-diesel generators. Sounds like a standard the Academy should adopt to me.

“It’s such a necessity for every individual to take responsibility for what surrounds them. I’m proud to be involved with a project that brings so much environmental consciousness,” says Keegan. Word, Andrew.

To get in on this green charity event, click here. VIP folks even get organic beer and and a vegan/vegetarian buffet! You can’t beat that.

VIP guests can arrive at 7:00 p.m. for a pre-party and an hour of free organic beer. In addition, VIP guests will be offered a vegan/vegetarian buffet.

[Editor's note: This is a great, green event -- but listing a "flat of Fiji bottled water" as an eco-friendly prize in their press release has me laughing. Who organized this and thought that would be considered eco-friendly?]
