Stella McCartney Really, Really Wants To Design Scarlett Johansson’s Wedding Dress

Filed under: fashion — michael @ 10:11 am

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are finally getting hitched. The pair announced their engagement this past week and sites lit up all around the web with the news. We all know Scarlett’s a pretty eco-friendly gal - so we were waiting for some “green wedding” details to start emerging. Fashion designer Stella McCartney, however, isn’t waiting for the Johansson/Reynolds camp to make up their minds and has announced she’s creating the dress.

Okay, she’s less insisting and more joking — but Stella is anxious to potentially be the designer of something fabulous (and green) for the actress. “I’m definitely doing her wedding dress,” she told PEOPLE Magazine. “She just doesn’t know it yet.” When pressed further over what type of gown she might design, Stella joked “You know, some kind of dodgy, black thing. Latex! Latex for Scarlett!”

Speaking for all the guys out there, a latex wedding dress for Scarlett sounds wonderful. Stella, in our minds, you’ve got the job!

Celebrities Design Tees To Benefit Rainforest Foundation

Filed under: campaigns, fashion — michael @ 11:28 am

Wednesday night, fashion designer Carlos Miele launched a series of t-shirts designed by celebrities and fashionistas to directly benefit the Rainforest Foundation. Those lending their personalized touches to the green-themed tees included Scarlett Johansson, Camilla Belle, Michael Roberts, Diana Picasso, and Alice Braga.

100% of the proceeds from the launch party will benefit the conservation organization — which was founded by rocker Sting and his wife Trudi Styler back in 1989. Said Miele of the effort, “I’ve liked the work of the Rainforest Foundation for a long time. I think Sting was a visionary when he came to Brazil and he was really concerned about Amazonia and the rainforest. For me, it’s great to support this foundation.”

You too can support the foundation — with 20% of each purchased tee going towards the Rainforest Foundation. Prepare for some sticker shock, however. I found one store online selling the main shirt for $173.00. Yikes.

[UPDATE] Apparently, the above website is selling those tees at a ridiculous, illegal price. The real price is $35. You can pick them up at Carlos Miele stores (646.336.6642) or at www.vivre.com

Fan Pays $52,100 For A Date With Kristin Davis

Filed under: campaigns, contests, donations — parrish @ 10:17 am

Remember a couple weeks ago when a fan paid 41,100 dollars to go on a date with Scarlett Johansson? Well Kristin Davis’ eBay auction just raked in even more.A die-hard Sex and the City fan has paid $52,100 for two VIP tickets to accompany Kristin Davis to the New York premiere of the Sex and the City movie. As promised, the winning bidder and a friend will get their hair and make-up professionally styled, receive a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and of course accompany Davis down the red carpet.

The $52,100 raised on eBay will go to everyone’s favorite charity, Oxfam. Davis recently said, “Oxfam’s mission is to alleviate poverty and injustice by helping people learn skills and create lives. I just got back from Africa and saw firsthand that we’re making a long-term difference. It gives me a sense of satisfaction.”

Yeah, knowing that someone would pay 52,100 dollars for a date with me would give me a pretty decent sense of satisfaction too. Thanks Kristin, eBay, Oxfam and most importantly that unidentified eBay bidder for being just a tad crazy enough to dish out all that dough for tickets to the show! Let’s all go to the movies!

Scarlett Johansson eBay Oxfam Update!!

Filed under: contests, events, film-tv, green and famous, movies — parrish @ 10:45 am

Last week Ecorazzi told you that Scarlett Johansson was teaming up with Oxfam America and eBay to auction off a date for the premiere of her new movie, He’s Just Not That Into You.  Along with some Scarlett face time, the package included two tickets to the premiere, some professional hair and make-up styling, and a chauffeured car. 

Well the auction officially ended yesterday, and a UK bidder, known only as ‘bossnour’, paid a whopping $40,100 for the gilded prize! As promised, the entire forty grand will go to Oxfam – an international relief agency that fights poverty around the world.

From everyone here at Ecorazzi, thank you to Scarlett and “bossnour” for raising some seriously awesome cash for a seriously awesome organization. Have fun at the premiere!

Scarlett Johansson Offers Up A Date For Oxfam

Filed under: campaigns, green and famous — michael @ 10:40 am

Although the auction for a date with actor Colin Firth has ended (a personalized birthday message from the actor also just ended yesterday for over $3K!), Oxfam is offering up their next prize in the form of actress Scarlett Johansson.

From today until March 12th, you can bid on the opportunity to win a date with Scarlett at the premiere of her latest film, He’s Just Not That Into You. Well, I guess it’s not so much a date as it is a “meet n’ greet” — you get two tickets as Scarlett’s guest and the opportunity to briefly chat with her. We figure, however, that Johansson will probably be quite gracious as she’s a firm supporter of Oxfam and takes the whole charity angle quite seriously.

You’ll also receive chauffeured car service to the premiere (see if you can sneak onto the red carpet!), and hair and makeup styling for one. Check out the video below for more from Scarlett!

This one speaks for itself. Regardless of who you support, if ever there was a question as to whether we can impact change, especially the green kind - Yes We Can!
