Global Green Adds Damien Rice, Couple From Once, For Oscar Bash

I just caught the musical ONCE last night and was blown away by the music. Since I’m a fan of Damien Rice (one of the few musicians that can communicate the pain of heartbreak through song), I thought the lyrics and tunes were brilliant. Now it appears I’m ratcheting up my ‘envy’, since both Damien Rice and the stars of that film — artists Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova — will be performing along with Michelle Branch next week at Global Green’s 5th Annual Pre-Oscar Party. Our lucky Ecorazzi field reporters are in for a treat.

But it’s not just the music that will be making the evening. According to GG’s latest media alerts we can expect Salma Hayek, Adrien Grenier, Alicia Silverstone, Val Kilmer, Sophia Bush, Ginnifer Goodwin, Dana Delany, Balthazar Getty, Josie Maran, Chris Kattan, Nia Vardalos, Q’orianka Kilcher, Vanessa Branch, and many others to make an appearance. No word yet on Bloom or DiCaprio — a couple Global Green regulars — but keep your fingers crossed.

Saving Oscar week from completely being overtaken by GM’s fleet of pseudo-green SUVs, the organization will also have on hand the latest green cars –from those on the road today to those pushing the envelope. Line-up includes the Tesla Roadster, Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid (one of only two production vehicles), other plug-in Hybrids, Compressed Natural Gas Vehicles and more. They’ll also have a lineup of green design showcases that demonstrate the latest in sustainable building that “improve the health of families, lower energy costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

Should be an exciting evening. We look forward to bringing you all the what-went-down details.

The Fortune Forum Summit Brings Out Hannah, Gore And Many More

Filed under: events, green and famous — parrish @ 9:00 pm

Ever thought about grabbing a brew with Al Gore or playing canasta with Daryl Hannah? Well if you were in London this week you could have (no promise about the canasta) at the second ever Fortune Forum Summit. Never heard of it? Well, the Fortune Forum Summit is basically an event for people who have way more money than you and I will ever see to get together and donate, donate, donate in the name of c-h-a-r-i-t-y. Exactly how much cash must you have to play with the big boys? Well, just to get in the door you would have paid £1,000 and if you’d like to have seen Al Gore in the special V.I.P room, that would have set you back an additional £10,000. By the end of the night it was calculated that the 400 or so guests were worth over £100bn. You get the point.

Never afraid of big spending, this year a slew of the generous and famous came out to show their support. Some celebrities included: Daryl Hannah, Damien Rice, Jerry Hall and Christian Slater. And who exactly got the loot? The good folks at The British Red Cross, Cancer Research, African Renaissance, Water Aid and clean energy promoters Ice Circle all benefited from the night of fun.

Now there’s only one question left. Where can I sign up my charity, The Parrish Monthly Room And Board Allowance, for next year’s big show down.
