Whatever the reason Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford broke up, it isn’t because he’s always hanging around with J.C. Chasez. Rumors have been going around that he and J.C. are more than friends. The couple… Pardon… the two friends deny it. Said Chasez, “It’s just stupid.” Maybe so, Chasez, but you make our gaydars buzz.

Anyway, it’s not too surprising the Underwood-Crawford era has ended. We know, Chace could try Carrie’s patience with his fraternizing ways.

So, as long as you boys are gallivanting about in such nice clothes, you might consider getting some of your pretty ties from Tãne, Executive Eco-fashion. They’ll plant a tree for every set of tie and matching cuff-links you buy. And we know you boys like to match.

Last month we told you about YSL’s Manifesto, a catalog of images from their Spring ’08 ad campaign. Printed on recycled paper, it featured Kate Moss and was distributed gratis in the chicest of cities like London, Milan and New York. As you can see, Julianne Moore and Gwyneth get their fashion pointers from Beanstockd. They both rocked the very dress we showed you. We’re not shallow like other gossip rags, so we won’t say that Co-Kate wins.

You’re welcome, S! Blake Lively got all gypsy and snatched up a pair of Natalie Portman’s “vegan” shoes last week. Te Casans are animal-free and the proceeds benefit environmental groups. We know a good one!

PS: It was leaked that one of the Gossip Girl guys is coming out of the closet when the show resumes. How typical. We’re guessing he’s pictured here, but producers remain tight lipped. If it’s not Eric, it better be better than when Luke’s dad was outted on The OC and they were exiled to Portland.

Steve Nash is already thinking about his future. He just wrote and co-directed this commercial for Nike. It’s the beginning of what he hopes will be his second career, movie making. “Training Day” is about the way Nash uses everything from skateboarding to soccer to train for basketball (check out the skateboarding and dribbling). The two-time MVP sees the end of his basketball days coming, and he’s getting ready. He and his cousin have already put together an independent movie company.

He’s also thinking about the future he’ll share with all of us. Ever the greenie (it’s a Canadian thing), he gave us a sneak preview of the Nike Trash Talk at February’s All-Star Game. Featuring non-toxic recycled rubber, reused scraps and minimal packaging, the low-tops are an extension of Nike’s Considered line of eco-friendly shoes. They’ll be available to the public on 4/22—Earth Day.

Not to bag on China, but seriously. The country’s just teeming with people who, one might think, would be slightly more rational than your average giddy American. You know, living under the harsh realities of Communism and all that. However, there’s a rash of nouveau riche buying into the advertising images and flaunting those Benjamins by investing in luxury SUVs… because, well, they can. To hell with pollution! It’s such a downer anyway.

Even we have finally been coming to our senses. True, that may be due to severe financial necessity at the moment (even if we could afford a Sport Utility Monster, we can’t afford to fuel it); or the fact that a green lifestyle sure is trendy; but overall, it’s the end result that matters most. The altruism will come in time.

Hello Bunnies, hope you had a happy Easter!

Barack Obama finally responds to attacks about his minister, says even his beloved grandma is kind of racist. GOP also-ran Mike Huckabee defends him, says: Chill out, y’all! Jim Crow was no joke! Does somebody wanna be VP? Long-time Clinton minion Bill Richardson endorses Obama. Meanwhile, Hillary pretends not to care. Obama weighs in on “food or fuel” controversy, says ethanol is not the answer.

Now that the writers strike is over, the Spears family seems to be taking over! Catch Britney back in action tonight on How I Met Your Mother. Her knocked-up little sister, Jamie-Lynn, also makes a cameo in the new ABC sitcom Missguided. Trainwrecks in action, awesome. The Hills starts up again tonight and Lauren (née LC) says that she really doesn’t feel betrayed by Audrina (nice rack, awful shoes) and Brody. Just another day in the hype of The Hills.

Finally, Charlotte Goldenblatt (née York) BJ sex tape? EWWW! Remember that episode where prudish Charlotte dumped the rich, Ivy League WASP because she didn’t like oral? Hypocrite. More SATC movie buzz: the secret behind the characters’ fabulous bags on a not so fabulous budget is revealed. The company Bag, Borrow or Steal, allows would-be fashionistas on a budget to rent out its bags on the cheap. A glam way to recycle.

True or false: Double-A Dupre is to Eliot the John as Camilla Parker-Bowles is to Prince Charles. Let’s get back to this.

Camilla is Prince Charles’ true love. Yes, Princess Diana was attractive and the mother of his babies, but love—at least to Charles—was blind. Whether relaxing in Egyptian eco-lodges or championing sustainability in Jamaica, the Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall seem happy traveling and spreading the green gospel. It’ll be three years of frumpy marital bliss next month.

Ashley may be Eliot Spitzer’s Pretty Woman. Fact: Spitzer used her pimp service, Emperor’s Club VIP, at least eight times. When asked if she had more than one rendezvous with the governor Dupre responded: “No comment.” In other words, they were knockin’ boots on the reg. Fact: She had to take the train from New York to DC. Spitzer’s fetishes—handcuffs, leg irons and possibly giant dildos—would raise red flags, even at LaGuardia. Lessons? Spitzer doesn’t raw dog and bail & sadomasochism is green!

So is our SAT analogy true? Hell no. Look at that picture. Even Camilla never looked that hideous. This was supposed to be a nice post, but then we saw this picture today in US Weekly and no longer had anything good to say about “Ashley Alexandra Dupre.”

Looks like Guess is on its way to world domination; 2008 marks a major year for the brand in terms of product and image.

Not only has the brand launched a new furniture line, G, but Guess’ latest ad campaign features a Sophia Loren-esque rexatron photographed by famed musician and fashion photographer Bryan Adams (Yes, the Robin Hood and Three Musketeers balladeer. The man loves his swashbuckling period pics). Adams is the first major photog to step up to the Guess Ad plate—marking a checkpoint in the brand’s major revamp.

Another big sign that Guess plans to follow in the footsteps of Pinky and the Brain is its move to become the first mass fashion retailer to officially go green. The apparel powerhouse will be launching Guess Green next month, a line of eco-friendly boot cut jeans and organic shirts, and plans to donate 10% of its profits to the Environmental Media Association. We’re a little bit scared, but in a good way.

As you know, we’re an upmarket bunch that favors Depression Era light-verse over sophomoric hijinx, but this story just won’t go away. A Houston woman was onboard a recent American Airlines flight to Los Angeles and fell asleep. When she came to, she found a man seated next to her…administering an HJ…on himself. Unfortunately, he had already administered at least one other before she woke up. How do we know? Girl had “product” in her hair. She’s now decided to sue American Airlines.

She better make it snappy, the entire airline industry is getting spanked hard by the limp economy and the exploding cost of crude…oil. $111 a barrel crude. That probably doesn’t mean much to you, but this might: Ten years ago, crude oil was $25 a barrel! If you plan on flying, get ready to feel the same sticker shock Pa Joad felt at the truck stop: “Them ain’t two a penny candy…them’s nickel a piece candy!”

TheStreet.com just released a video following the Children’s Club Fashion Show in New York City’s Javits Center. According to the correspondent, Brittany Umar, you can visit the ENK Children’s Club and find costumes inspired by the likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears (isn’t it the other way around?) in sizes your Tween can wear. That’s right. Your Tween. Hit the site up and click on “Fashion Show” if you don’t believe us.

Speaking of lousy ideas: Alaskan Senators are once again trying to gut the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve [ANWR] for its potential oil supply. Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Ted Stevens are using the present surge in gas prices as their excuse, this time, even though it would take at least seven years to begin pumping. The truth? They just want to cut their constituents a big check.

Wreck a pristine wilderness to keep you lot in office? No thanks. We’d rather squeeze our ass into a tweensy Juicy suit and wade around in the Syringe Tide of the Jersey Shore.

Hey Loyal Readers, say hello to Greenhorne. She’s got a Swarovski Crystal Encrusted Pen, an organic notepad from Kate’s Paperie and razor-sharp wit. Every week, she’ll stop by to keep you current on what you care about and what you need to know. Keep up, because the last thing she ever does is look over her shoulder. All yours, Greenhorne.

Eliot Spitzer = shady. ‘Nuff said.

Speaking of those forced out of office, former English Prime Minister Tony Blair refuses to twiddle his thumbs, aims to bring about peace in the Middle East and to HALVE greenhouse gas emissions. He’s done a total 180 from being Bush’s lapdog to emulating the Texan’s original nemesis Al Gore. Next thing you know, he’ll win an Oscar.

Christian Siriano is a fierce tranny hot mess—literally, tranny. Now that he’s a household name with an all-embracing catchphrase, and his clothes have already been picked up by Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys, there’s no way we’ll see him on QVC. He’s the next boy genius Esteban Cortezar, the youngest head of a fashion label.

Britney can’t even be trusted to show up for photoshopping, so they made her a cartoon character. Think that’s outrageous? One in four teenage girls has an STD. What about the boys?

“You could be a farmer in those clothes.” Billyburg hipsters have taken ensemble-challenged Ambular’s words literally, and are now moving upstate to start organic farms. Apparently, ricotta makers are the new rock stars. Wal-Mart’s CEOs stay green, but vote red…and don’t you forget it.

On that note, HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!! Satisfy the Irish in you and go drink some green beer!
