			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/liev_liev.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-9436 alignleft" style="margin: 3px 5px;" title="liev_liev" src="http://www.ecorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/liev_liev.jpg" alt="" width="219" height="200" /></a>You know something <em>has </em>to be wrong with you when a handful of celebs <a href="http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/10/27/18546848.php" target="_blank">don&#8217;t want publicity</a> associated with your name. That&#8217;s the case with Lev Leviev, the Israeli billionaire denounced by <a href="http://www.oxfamamerica.org/">Oxfam America</a> in January for his unethical diamond mining practices and settlement construction. Famous Hollywood photographer <strong>Timothy White</strong> gives thanks to Leviev in his new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Pinups-Timothy-White/dp/0061349593"><em>Hollywood Pinups</em></a>, released today; Leviev&#8217;s diamonds are being featured in the book. In an ironic twist, the book names Oxfam America as one of the recipients of its proceeds&#8211;and Oxfam isn&#8217;t happy.</p>
<p>Neither are the celebs featured in the book. The PR company that represents <strong>Tea Leoni</strong>, <strong>Kate Walsh</strong>, <strong>Felicity Huffman</strong>, <strong>Mary-Kate Olsen</strong>, and <strong>Melissa George</strong> has asked for their names to not be associated with the Leviev, and Oxfam Ambassador <strong>Kristin Davis</strong> has had her photo removed from Leviev&#8217;s website. New York rights coalition <a href="http://adalahny.org/">Adalah-NY</a> has contacted others and asked them to renounce the company as well, including <strong>Susan Sarandon</strong> (who wrote the book&#8217;s introduction), <strong>Vanessa Williams</strong>, <strong>Kate Hudson</strong>, <strong>Molly Sims</strong>, and <strong>Gina Gershon</strong>.</p>
<p>An Oxfam America spokesperson, Adrienne Smith, said, &#8220;Oxfam reiterates our policy that we are not and never will be partners or beneficiaries of Leviev because of both his mining practices and his support of Israeli settlements on Occupied Palestinian Lands which is in contravention of International Law and a major obstacle in the road to peace… Oxfam is disturbed to find ourselves used in this way and we intend to be proactive in informing those in our community about the deliberate strategy of Leviev Diamonds to connect itself with unwitting charities and celebrities.”</p>
<p>What do you think? Did Leviev redeem himself at all by trying to work with Oxfam? Or is everyone right to continue denouncing this corruption?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="vertical-align: top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;" src="http://www.ecorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/bilson.jpg" alt="bilson" width="500" height="246" /></p>
<p><strong>Rachel Bilson</strong> has joined up with a whole bunch of other celebrities to get Americans drying clothes on the line &#8212; and saving cash and energy at the same time. The campaign comes from <a href="http://LineDryIt.com" target="_blank">Hills</a>, an iconic Australian brand of clothes lines.</p>
<p>According to their release, the use of clothes lines and drying racks in the U.S. has declined steadily since the 1950s as adoption of appliances went mainstream. This has led to the drier becoming the the largest energy sucker in American home next to the refrigerator.</p>
<p>Other celebrities lending their support include  <strong>Matt Rhys, Olivia Newton-John, Kimberly Joseph, Dannii Minogue, Amanda Detmer, Radha Mitchell</strong>, and <strong>Melissa George</strong>. Said <em>Lost&#8217;s</em> Kimberly Joseph, &#8220;I grew up in Australia helping Mum hang washing out to dry on the Hills Hoist (and going for the odd swing as well)&#8230;nothing like the smell of sun dried t-shirts and linen. With great weather being the #1 draw card here in Los Angeles, clothes dryers should be a thing of the past. Bring on the Hills Hoist, I say!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Spring is here! Get your clothes outside!</p>
<p>You can check out the <a href="http://www.linedryit.com/skin/home.html" target="_blank">official campaign website here</a> &#8212; but keep in mind that things won&#8217;t truly be going live until the end of next week.</p>
