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.

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.
