Jennifer Aniston’s Shower Secret

Al Gore’s earth preaching has prompted all sorts of worldly wisdom to emerge from the mouths of stars.

Jennifer Aniston offered an earth friendly pearl. She revealed her formula for safeguarding the planet’s future, which involves a special form of whole body hygiene, according to “The Green Book” by Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas Kostigen.

While taking a shower, Aniston also brushes her teeth.

“I take a three-minute shower. I even brush-wash-brush my teeth while I shower,” Aniston announced.

The actress explained how shower multitasking helps people in Africa.

“Every two minutes in the shower uses as much water as a person in Africa uses for everything in their life for a whole day.”

Perhaps next Aniston can figure out a way to include in her shower a few loads of laundry and a day’s worth of dishes.

Greenpeace Slams Live Earth

Al Gore’s enviro-gelical concert campaign has received the usual criticism from Right-of-center sources, but disapproval is also coming from some unexpected places.

Matt Bellamy of the band Muse described the concert as “private jets for climate change.”

John Buckley of Carbon Footprint, an organization that helps companies reduce their carbon dioxide emissions estimated that Live Earth would produce about 74,500 tons of carbon emissions.

Greenpeace, perhaps the best known environmental activist group in the world has slammed Live Earth because automobile manufacturer DaimlerChrysler was a sponsor of the Hamburg portion of the event.

The name of the maker of one of Hollywood’s favorite rides, the Mercedes, brought Shakira, Snoop Dogg and Enrique Iglesias to the Gore-fest.

“We think the concert is good, but it’s absurd to have a company like that [DaimlerChrysler] as a sponsor,” a spokeswoman for Greenpeace Germany, Sonja Koch, told Reuters.

Greenpeace has yet to object to a sponsor of the Live Earth Web site, Chevrolet.
