Mary-Kate Olsen already issued a statement on Monday claiming she’s told all she knows about the shady circumstances surrounding Heath Ledger’s death. As of yesterday, the Feds remained unconvinced. They were so unconvinced that they subpoenaed our girl MK, requiring her to testify in front of a grand jury. Now, throughout the past few days we remained neutral like Switzerland, but we’re happy to report that MK’s off the hook!

Hooray, because we love us some MK. For starters, sister has personal style coming out her yum-yum; she rocked her role in The Wackness; and who can forget Full House? We know we can’t. Even though the best show of our childhood ended over ten years ago, we still watch the reruns. Michelle Tanner has come so far since the end of Full House in 1995…and so have we! (And by ‘we,’ we mean society in general.) To think that back in 1995, MK would have had a hard time finding eco-friendly clothing that didn’t look like a droopy sandbag. Now, while MK herself dabbles in fashion design with sister Ashley, she can purchase green goodies from the likes of fashion giants Stella McCartney and Rogan Gregory. And while we can’t necessarily afford all the eco-friendly fashion we covet, we love that MK shows us how to repurpose our big bro’s hand-me-down plaid flannel from 1995.

The ever-present face of The Hills, Lauren Conrad, just scored another big deal. No, she’s not getting yet another reality tv show – she’s designing the dresses for the women who hand out the Emmy Awards. (I wonder how Heidi Montag is taking the news.) Conrad seems determined to turn her reality tv fame into something a little longer lasting and, hopefully, she’ll pair her creations with some items to make the environment a little longer lasting too, like Vegetarian Shoes & Bags. That way, even if Conrad’s career can’t survive, these accessories will still be here after 15 minutes.

If you’re on the Internet—and you probably are—you’ve already seen Paris Hilton’s "response" to John McCain’s attack ad comparing Barack Obama with her and Britney Spears.

While we’re not quite sure about Paris’ leopard-print bikini (the suit is almost definitely not real leopard skin, but it’s also almost definitely not 1983), we’re even less confident in her writers’ speech. While offshore drilling with "strict environmental oversight" might sound good, unexpected natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina have caused massive oil spills.

And while we’re all for giving government funding to car companies to develop more effective hybrids, waiting lists for energy-efficient cars such as the Tesla and the Smart Car indicate that supply and demand is already taking care of the job.

See us at the debate, bitches!

Beanstockd hits the MGMT concert at Williamsburg’s McCarren Park Pool and asks the question: "How can a band rock out a little bit greener?"
