* The New York Film Festival goes 3D – debuting the new Ang Lee movie, Life of Pi, as its opening movie this September.

* Nine Nobel Laureates, including Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, have called on NBC to scrap the new TV show, Stars Earn Stripes, because it glorifies war and combat training, pitting so-called celebs against each other.

* Taylor Swift has released her new pop-centered single, We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together, in which she promises to never get back together with an ex. Ever.

* After his split with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson is heading into the public eye to promote his new movie, Cosmopolis, this week. He ate ice-cream with Jon Stewart on Monday night, and rang the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday.

* And, in spite of the #NBCFail hashtag, the channel has reported the 2012 London Olympics were the most watched event in US history.

The Lorax Stars Help You Go Green

Posted on March 30, 2012 | Leave a comment


 
Dr Seuss, aka Theodore Geisel, is an author loved by children and adults alike. My favourite story-book from him is Oh, The Places You’ll Go. Until that gets made into a movie, I found myself really enjoying The Lorax – and its main message.


I spoke to the cast, and when Danny DeVito wasn’t talking about Die Antwoord, got some great insights from them on going green and being environmentally friendly. What I like about the story is that Dr Seuss came up with it while he was in Tanzania, and was overcome by the beauty of the Serengeti. He wrote 90% of the story, there and then, and it’s just as relevant now as it was 40-years ago.

Take a listen to Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Danny DeVito, Ed Helms and director Chris Renaud.

The Hoff appeared during Party Rockers from LMFAO. With glow-sticks. So not cool that it might just be really cool in the whole circle of irony. Go figure.
