According to Ecorazzi, Kelly Osbourne became a mite confused last Thursday night en route to a party for Dita von Teese. Said party was being held at the same venue as Elle magazine's "Green Bash," and the Spawn O' Ozzy ended up on the wrong red carpet.

Her reaction when she realized her mistake? "Screw the environment."

Get in line, Kelly. Get in line.

but from this heretic's view . . .

Sadly I'm not too excited by what the A-list celebrities have done by associating with and promoting the big wealthy mainstream enviros who have supported controversial policies at odds with the grassroots -- for example NAFTA, utility deregulation, green-coal, global warming credit for nuclear power, and more -- while being intertwined with corporate interests that benefit from weak environmentalism.

I realize this may seem very strange in that these views aren't well articulated and explored by the mainstream media, which in my view has a preference for watered-down environmentalism which won't confront them or their sponsors. Or as one activist put it, certain groups have "press protection."

However when an environmental group is advocating for contested policies beneficial to Enron while it's vice chair is comfy having Ken Lay over to dinner, or a group adopts a stance counter to grassroots groups regarding a major heavily-protested development project while its donors and board members have ties to development interests, something is seriously conflicted if not corrupted -- at least so it seems to me.

If you are interested in this matter, you may peruse some of my past writing at http://www.NonprofitWatch.org , but I plan to soon release some new materials which I find quite disturbing.
