Leonardo DiCaprio says he's going to back off his pitches for all things green. |
B RITNEY SPEARS
According to The Sun, Britney tearfully admits in a documentary that her life, at present, is a sham.
In her confession, Brit likens her "situation" to the movie "Groundhog Day," in which the main character experiences the same day over and over till the audience finally accepts that someone like Bill Murray could actually land someone like Andie MacDowell.
Britney is referring to the conservatorship that resulted from her teeny tiny breakdown that led to her shaving her head and losing custody of her kids.
She claims her life is too controlled and believes she's a prisoner paying for past mistakes. I could not agree more--people need to back up off her and let her be free. Ever since she started wearing underpants again and stopped running over people, life has been unbearable. Ever since she started feeding her kids three square meals a day and wearing shoes in public bathrooms her world has been a disaster. People were never meant to live this way.

A spokesperson for PETA Europe said this: "Lindsay Lohan might be able to ignore images of bloody animals skinned alive for their pelts, but we hope a dash of flour will help her rise to the occasion and forsake fur once and for all."
Yes, PETA, what animals go through in the name of food and fashion is an atrocity. It's a tasty, cozy, timeless, glamorous atrocity. You guys have been doing these same tactics for decades and it's not working. Try being nice for a change.
Once upon a time, no one cared about recycling--the earth was our trash can. But, instead of throwing sewage on celebrities, environmentalists just said, "Hey man, littering is not cool." Forty years later and we're all rifling through our own trash to separate it into less permanent trash.
LEO EASING UP ON GREEN?
Speaking of the environment, Leonardo DiCaprio announced that he will cut back on his "go green" speeches.
According to OK! Magazine's British site, Leo is concerned that his constant pushing of environmental issues may come off as "patronizing."
"They feel like they're being told what to do when somebody like me talks about the fact I have solar panels," he says. The actor states that he realizes not everybody can afford solar panels and hybrid cars.
Other celebrities take note: We commoners do find your enviro chit-chat to be mind-numbing and patronizing. When did being green become a platform of the rich? Growing up, it wasn't called being green, it was called being poor!
Green was a revolution for the poor, by the poor and we'd appreciate it if you didn't hold it over us like we're the bad guy for not putting $20K worth of sun magnets into our devalued homes.
