Wentworth Miller Says Hooray for Hydrogen!

Filed under: cars-houses, red carpet, transport — mlariviere @ 10:38 am

It’s always nice to start the day with celebs using more eco-friendly transportation.

Wentworth Miller, in a BMW Hydrogen 7 Vehicle, arrived in style Monday at the Fox Network’s Television Critics Association party.  According to the BMW website it is the ”world’s first production-ready hydrogen vehicle”.  Sexy.

Miller joins Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Kristen Davis, Kelsey Grammer, Ed Norton, Jay Leno and Cameron Diaz in testing out the new BMW.

I wonder if his character on Prison Break will be as equally conscientious.

“It’s my privilege to be a part of the entertainment business, an industry that has reached out to and touched the lives of billions of people around the world. It gives me tremendous pleasure to think that many of those same people have been motivated to reach out to others in turn.

This charitable effort was conceived, organized and executed by a group of generous fans willing to donate their time and energies to a worthy cause. I’m honored to participate in this process, and I thank you for doing the same.”

The fundraising will last until next Monday, June 30th. Jump on over the official site and help make a difference! Congrats to all that have participated so far!

Kids, don’t smoke pot. And don’t ever, ever smoke fake pot. This was the message presented by actors Seth Rogan and James Franco last night at the MTV Movie Awards as they promoted their new film, The Pineapple Express. Even though the two claimed the giant joint they were smoking was fake, audience members said the sweet smell wafting through the air definitely proved otherwise. Of course, MTV wasn’t taking any chances, and as soon as the two lit the joint, the network pulled back for a wide shot. I wonder if it was Tom Cruise Purple… [Read more]

Jessica Alba, who is getting ready for the birth of her first child in June, did some last-minute green shopping at Bel Bambini in Beverly Hills last week. What’d she grab? Born Free baby bottles, a Boppy breastfeeding pillow, a Tiny Love mobile, Sage Creek organic crib sheets and organic baby clothing from Kicky Pants and Pixie Lily. Groovy. [Read more]
