I'm perplexed... Riddle me this Batman-exactly how are celebrities saving the planet? Is there some celebrity superhero league that I am not aware of? Are Heidi Montag's ginormous breast implants really surface to air missiles? Does Kiefer Sutherland come from a planet far, far away? (Although that would definitely explain Tom Cruise). And is alcohol his kryptonite?
Why would celebrities set aside their obscene per diems to address the planet's impending demise? Once the photo op passed would they be capable of having a truly altruistic moment? Would we even want them to?
Celebrities are like the living room furniture-appropriate for entertaining but otherwise have no functional use. Why would the media attempt to inject substance into a phenomena totally devoid of such? If anything celebrities have shown us that someone with the most advantages and every available resource can still...fuck it all up. Tiger Woods anyone?
So knowing (and appreciating) their penchant for attention-seeking behavior and access to gross amounts of money, drugs and influence would we freely hand them this responsibility of "saving the world"?
I'm actually kind of offended. Amused, but still offended. I know most Americans read at a sixth grade level but the idea insults my intelligence. World-renowned scientists and heads of state have yet to accomplish what perhaps Hugh Grant could do with one self-effacing joke about his tendency for tardiness? All this time we've been studying the effects of global warming, trying to remedy our rape of mother nature's natural resources when all we had to do is send Kim Kardashian to fanny about in a mini while Britney shaves her head.
Now...who wants to break the news to Al Gore?
