U2’S THE EDGE IS NOT THE ENVIRONMENTALIST HE CLAIMS TO BE

U2 guitarist the Edge is the most hated man in Santa Monica, California, these days. He plans to build FIVE multilevel mansions on precious undeveloped coastal habitat land in the Santa Monica mountains, overlooking Malibu. Experts and neighbors are concerned about the visual and biological impact because the homes will break up a large block of treasured and nearly pristine wild life. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy board objected loudly UNTIL Edge changed their mind. How? He donated a million dollars to the conservancy and now they don’t object. The really nauseating part is that the Edge insists his houses will be “environmentally sensitive.” That is supposed to make everything all right.

JESSICA SIMPSON IS LEARNING A FEW THINGS FROM FOOTBALLER ERIC JOHNSON

Eric Johnson is attempting to contribute more than just his charming sportive persona to Jessica Simpson’s life. He’s made up his mind to turn her green. Eric drives a hybrid car and he’s made it clear he’s not thrilled with Jessica’s souped up Range Rover. He already replaced all the light bulbs in her house with the watt savers, he’s cut their water consumption, and is devising new recycling methods for her. Thanks to Eric, Jessica is cultivating an environmental conscience.
