Mischa Barton And Others Support Burberry’s Cruel Fashion Sense

Filed under: fashion, not green — parrish @ 11:45 am

As much as we love writing about all the awesome things celebs do for the world, sometimes we must bring you less than groovy news…and I’m afraid that now is one of those times!

This week a bevy of famous faces came out to support the re-opening of Burberry’s store in Beverly Hills. Not to be a Debby Downer, but Burberry is one of the least eco-aware fashion lines out there, and still stubbornly insist on using fur – a material that most A-list designers have agreed to stop selling.

And yet still, stars like Mishca Barton, Kate Hudson, Liv Tyler, Kate Beckinsale, Maria Bello, Molly Sims and Mena Suvari showed their support for Burberry and helped contribute to the cruel company’s 13 percent rise in first half revenue. What I’m most surprised at, is that Proposition 2 supporter and one of our favorite green gals, Amy Smart, also attended — even after she publicly declared her commitment to living a fur free life! Ames, you’re breaking my heart here!

I know it’s not always easy to avoid suffering in this world, but to stop wearing fur is an easy decision that we all can make, and I certainly hope these public figures will reconsider what companies they support in the future.

The Green Quote: Liv Tyler’s Son Wants To Be A Farmer

“He’s obsessed with cars and tractors. During my days off I have to drive him around in this little golf cart, which he calls a tractor. It’s really funny.”

-Liv Tyler talking about her 3-year-old son’s farming ambitions. Could Milo Tyler have his own organic farm one day? Here’s to hoping!

Edward Norton’s Hulking Organic Diet Making The Ladies Swoon

Filed under: film-tv, food & drink, movies — michael @ 10:12 am

Liv Tyler was excited to be working with Edward Norton on their new film The Incredible Hulk, but didn’t realize she would develop a complex over the star’s super ’secksay’ bod. ”There was actually a moment there where I said, ‘Wait a minute, we can’t do this love scene because your body is so much more beautiful than mine.’” Faced with such a compliment, Norton quipped during the interview, ”I often get compared to Liv Tyler’s body.”

What’s the secret to Ed’s physique? Obviously, your standard Hollywood exercise regimen, but the 38-year-old actor is also big into the organic scene. According to the source, during shooting, Norton was often found munching at a joint call the The Organic Bar — a supposed “raw-food Shangri-La” in Toronto. Yum. The place prides itself on its dining experience and the idea that “vegan foods are just a different palette with which to create a gourmet dining experience!”

Hey, if it’s good for the Hulk, it’s good for us.
