Daryl Hannah drives the coolest, blackest biodiesel El Camino. Madonna sparked a rumpus with animal advocates when her sheep sashayed across the grass in fashionable hues of bright pink and blue. And Batman has some Hong Kong residents up in arms with a request to keep their lights on full-force for a week. Pow!

These—and many other juicy tidbits—can be found on Ecorazzi, "the latest in green gossip." This vivacious, eco-friendly blog sprang onto the scene in August and has since attracted a crack team of contributors devoted to tracking Hollywood's green, or not so green, beat.

Rebecca Carter, of greenerMIAMI, and Groovy Green's Michael d'Estries co-founded the celebri-blog. We chatted with Rebecca over instant messenger to see how things are going...

Hey there, Rebecca! You and Michael both had thriving blogs when you started Ecorazzi. What made you join forces for a new site?

It was an instant message, in fact. Apparently, Michael had been seeing what crazy traffic gossip sites like Perez Hilton receive, and I had recently written a piece about Green Celebrities.

That day has arrived, and one sneaky Jezebel reader grew $10,000 richer while the rest of us grew a bit wiser about Photoshop foolery in the media. Compare the original Redbook cover photo to its digitally-enhanced alter ego. Did beautiful, 39-year-old country singer Faith Hill really need to have a few lines erased, a hand transformed into an arm, another appendage digitally liposuctioned, and a myriad other mutations? The outcry about this muckraking has been loud, if not entirely clear. Could this be the end of the airbrush apparent? If Jezebel keeps it up, maybe someday you can start really judging a Redbook by its cover.
