If LC’s really super concerned about the whole paparazzi following her thing, she could always try changing up her look to throw them off with Morrocco Method hair dye. This completely natural dye made out of henna means no chemicals for your hair or for the environment, which means fewer damaged ends and ecosystems. Lauren’s “love for dogs” (or her publicist’s) would also be pleased with Morrocco’s refusal to test on animals. And of course, the 100% recyclable bottles (because of course she should order shampoo and conditioner at the same time so less gas would be used) would arrive in a recycled box filled with recycled styrofoam on LC’s doorstep—though if the ‘razzis see the package, they might anticipate the makeover.

Did you hear? Scientists at MIT have come up with a breakthrough so revolutionary that it might actually make widespread use of solar power possible! Enough solar power hits the planet in an hour to power the whole planet for a year, the problem has always been how do you collect it and how do you store it for nighttime? Scientist may have figured it out by using solar energy to make oxygen and hydrogen for fuel cells, which could mean that before long we can use solar power for just about everything.

Who cares, though, right? Brangelina’s first baby photos of the twins, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon are out! It’s a 19 page "family photo album" in this week’s People Magazine. The couple were paid $14 million which, of course, they gave to charity. Such nice kids.

If that’s not enough baby porn for you, E! Online has an archive of famous celebrity baby photo covers. (Thank God, right?) It’s too bad the mainstream media can’t focus more on really important news—like which famous lady got knocked up this week—rather than these absurd tidbits about revolutionary alternative energy technology that always seem to make the top headline.

Justin “Dick in a Box” Timberlake is supposedly being lined up to host next year’s Oscars. Now, there are many things JT’s good at: He can sing, dance, and even act (Black Snake Moan anyone?). We’d love his D in a B for Chrismukkah any day—but is he funny? We’re not so sure. Granted, the Timberlake-induced Janet Jackson nipple flash back in the day was interesting, and the Dick in a Box skit gave us the giggles. But any nipple flash elicits excitement, and the SNL short was due to the genius of Andy Samberg.

Apparently, Oscar bosses disagree. They thought JT was hilarious at the ESPY Awards last month, but unless hilarious has suddenly become Hollywood code for one sexy beast, we’re voting nay. That is, unless Justin a) stops driving monstrous trucks that do nothing for the environment (see above picture) and b) gets his hands on these great green jeans, in which case we’ll just press the mute button and enjoy his sexy back(side).

PS: We’d vote yay for Seth Rogen. Don’t know if he’s green, but he definitely enjoys green, and that makes everything funny.

Before Angelina Jolie cared about refugees and Al Gore found the truth inconvenient, Robert Redford worked to raise awareness about environmental and social issues using art. Out of his activism, the Sundance Film Festival was born. Now, Redford turns his sights from film to poetry. Working with Youth Speaks, Redford is calling all young poets to write about their concern for global warming. Finally, young writers are given the chance to join the ranks of such esteemed poetic forbearers as Charlie Sheen, Leonard Nimoy, and (who can forget?) Jewel’s A Night Without Armor. (Thanks to lack of interest in these previous poetry volumes, a slice of rainforest remains alive.)
