Daryl Hannah was arrested today after protesting against the construction of an extremely controversial oil pipeline in Washington D.C., and even though she was sent to jail, she was not even trippin'. LOLz
The eco-activist and actress joined demonstrators from 350.org, Sierra Club and Committed Citizens to take part in the protest against the Keystone XL project that was aimed at getting our prez, Barack Obama, to hopefully forfeit building the pipeline.
Whoa! She's the last person from which we'd expect this!
62-year-old Margot Kidder was arrested in Washington D.C. yesterday during a rally outside the White House to protest the TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL pipeline scheme!
The campaigners were reportedly trying to convince Barack Obama to nix the $7 billion project to relocate oil from Alberta to the Gulf Coast, which has already been approved by Canadian officials!
This morning, Nick Jonas and his bros were in Florida lending a helping hand to St Petersburg as part of the Disney's Friends for Change: Project Green Gulf Coast Clean Up.
What a good guy he is! And he looks outstanding while doing so!
Around noon today, oil production platform 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana exploded!
Thankfully, the thirteen people who were aboard the platform were accounted for and rescued from the site. No cause for the explosion has been identified yet, but Mariner Energy, the owners of the production platform, released a statement saying that "no hydrocarbon spill has been reported after an initial flyover of the incident."
Jay Leno will be doing stand-up on Saturday to benefit Gulf Coast residents affected by the oil spill.
He'll be appearing at The Beau Rivage Theater in Biloxi, Miss., billed as Stand-Up for the Gulf Coast: A Special Evening with Jay Leno to Benefit the Gulf Coast Community Foundation. All proceeds will go to the Gulf Coast community.
Tickets for the benefit $40, $80 and $150 each and will be administered by the foundation through its Mississippi Oil Spill Recovery Fund.
If this is true, then we stand behind her decision 100%! That would be so fucked up!
Sandra Bullock is reportedly demanding to be removed from a PSA for Gulf restoration she appears in because the organization behind it may actually be taking money from oil companies!
Awful!
The PSA (above), called Be The One, was put together by Women of the Storm's Restore the Gulf campaign, which is sponsored by the American Wetland Foundation. That group has allegedly taken money from oil and gas companies - INCLUDING BP!
Her publicist, Cheryl Maisel, claims:
"Ms. Bullock was originally contacted through her attorney to be a part of the PSA in order to promote awareness of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. At no time was she made aware that any organization, oil company or otherwise had influence over Women of the Storm or its message. We have immediately asked for [Bullock's] participation in the PSA be removed until the facts be determined."
The organization, however, denies these claims, and have asked to meet with Bullock to explain the matter.
They've also reached out to others featured in the PSA, including Lenny Kravitz, Blake Lively, and Dave Matthews, so no one else will attempt to pull out!
Founder Anne Milling explains:
"I was shocked and of course very disappointed. However, I do believe that once Ms. Bullock hears and listens to the facts and understands that Women of the Storm has had no connection or taken money from oil companies, I think that will allay her fears and I believe she will rejoin our video because she really believes in coastal restoration. She is committed to that."
We hope that she's telling the truth, and this matter can be resolved!
It would be such a shame to have what appears to be a good cause be tainted like this!
Some famous folks have gotten together for a PSA urging everyday citizens like YOU to sign a petition to get the government to act in the efforts to clean up the Gulf.
The oil spill in the Gulf is one of the most catastrophic disasters in our history and we all need to pitch in however we can.
Watch the video above to learn more and CLICK HERE to sign the petition to aid in building a stronger Gulf relief!
One of which was the first ever Milestone Award for musical ingenuity and innovation!
BUT, it seems the audience was NOT very happy that Biebs beat out Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars for the title, as he was BOOED while getting up on stage to accept the award AND when he wrapped up his VERY defensive acceptance speech!
Ch-ch-check out the cringe-worthy incident (above)!
Ooooof, and you can tell that when the booing starts, people from Bieber's camp try and cheer louder to mask it, which only makes it worse.
Hmmm we wonder if this mass negative reaction to Justin be about a certain abandoned monkey? Or are people getting tired of hearing him sing the word "baby" for the 1000th time?
And are you kidding us with this speech, Biebs? Way to NOT sound in the LEAST bit grateful... he even sounds pissed when he's thanking people!
Siiighhh. Well, whatever the reasons for JB's super strange speech, we are NOT impressed. And neither, it seems, was the crowd.
