Hollywood Sign Going Green!
Don't panic, Angelinos!
As part of the effort to save the Hollywood sign, a conservationist group has permission to cover the iconic hilltop letters and display the message Save the Peak.
The nonprofit Trust for Public Land are hoping to save the Cahuenga Peak, which consists of 138 acres adjacent to the Hollywood sign that sits on government property. The group needs another $6.2 million to save the landmark from becoming the plot for four oversized homes, which would eff up the view and a bunch of hiking trails.
The temporary environmental message will be put up on Wednesday and last till the following Monday.
Devoted celebrity followers of Trust for Public Land include Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Virginia Madsen, Tippi Hedren, John Slattery, Aisha Tyler, Julian McMahon, James Kyson-Lee, Beau Garrett and Katherine Morris.
Every bit of celebrity begging helps!

Why not "Hope and Change"?
Would suck to be a tourist in Hollywood for the first time and NOT get to see that iconic sign. Don't get me wrong, great cause. Just saying that if I was going to be H'Wood during that time, I'd be a little disappointed…
I can't believe they want to destroy 138 acres for four homes. FOUR homes? wtf. So sad in this economy when people can't afford much that anyone would want to build enormous homes that just waste even more money. Who the heck would even buy these expensive things? Ugh!
I THOUGHT IT WAS CALLEDD KE$HAWOOD BECAUZ OF THAT LOL VIDEO THAT SHE DONE A COUPPLE DAYZ AGO LOL
just say no, dont let the
mansion houses be built,
it will ruin the neighborhood, ruin it all for L.A , FOR Hollywood .
at least built proper houses that go in with the original houses in the area from the 30's 50's . dont allow mansions, they will attract hummers and
other crap that comes with posers in huge houses, so ungreen .
i'm all for saving the peak, but covering the sign is sacreligious.
I'm thinking of a few folks in Haiti who could use that $6.2 million dollars A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN A GODDAMNED FUCKING SIGN!!!
And don't give me arguments about "scenery" and "heritage" - I happen to think that FOOD AND SHELTER are more important than vanity, and that's the only fucking issue here - VANITY.
"We have to have the sign LOOK good! We're Hollywood, after all! We deserve it! No, we shouldn't give that money to fellow human beings starving in the street! Let's be delusional and ignorant! Let's have a BENEFIT concert for the HOLLYWOOD SIGN!"
And the rest of the world watches as the richest country in the world WASTES money on itself and praises Jesus for making a perfect heaven for them to go to when they die…

Good lord, and y'all think the Middle East is fucked up.
wait theyre getting rid of the hollywood sign? why the hell would they do that? btw julia louis dreyfus is awesome
i wish i had money to donate to this shit. i don't live in LA or anywhere near it and it pisses me off that a bunch of rich motherfuckers don't care about tearing down a natural landmark for their houses.
Re: Brainiac – did you really read the article at all?? seriously? they aren't trying to raise money for this fucking sign, they're trying to save an actual peak that's in the city that some people want to have torn down so they can build their ridiculously large houses.
Where are the city's and folks priority? I can think of dozens of better uses for the money. The sign will always be there, but is it really necessary to have all that land at that price.
Re: Brainiac – whoa? what about starving jobless Americans? you do know any aid we give to other countries comes outta your income tax with interest because that money was borrowed from the fed.
So all the rich celebs will beg the poor everyday person for money? WTF? With all the celebs living in LA, why can't they pony up the dough themselves? Effing cheap celebrities. Perez - you could save the sign all by yourself!
Re: Brainiac – Love you man, you're awesome. It's people like you who should actually be running the fucking country. too bad all the politicians have their heads up their gold-rimmed assholes.
Leave it to a bunch of leftard uneducated global warming idiots to want to cover the sign. Hollywood is filled with leftist idiots!
