Green Celebrity: Katy Perry lights up the night for Red Cross Relief

Green Celebrity!

Katy Perry lights up the night for Red Cross Relief —

[Mar. 23]

Ever the eccentric, quirky green celebrity pop star, Katy Perry, is helping out the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan in her own crazy way. The Glow Company reports Perry is selling glowsticks at her concerts on her California Dreams tour across the UK and the funds will go to the Red Cross Relief to assist earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan.

“When I play Firework, let’s ignite the light for them tonight,” Katy Perry said of her hit single, encouraging fans to purchase the glowsticks and wave them while she plays the song at concerts in the UK on her California Dreams tour.

According to Fox News, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan have devastated the country, killing a reported 8,133 and leaving 12,272 more missing following the catastrophe. Miyagi prefecture was the worst hit, with 4,882 confirmed dead. Numbers may continue to rise.

Tsunamis — sometimes referred to as tidal waves, though they have nothing to do with tides — are enormous bodies of water (usually oceans) disturbed by a massive disruption in the earth or a large underwater explosion. Japan is particularly susceptible to tsunamis because of the number of earthquakes that hit the nation. Tsunamis add to the devastation caused by earthquakes as the water continues to crash ashore, carrying away tons of earth, cars, boats, buildings, and people.

Celebrity Apprentice 2011: Who is David Cassidy and why is he famous?

Celebrity Apprentice 2011!

Who is David Cassidy and why is he famous?

[Mar. 16]

Green celebrity David Cassidy is best known for his role as Keith Partridge from the 1970s television show The Partridge Family. At his peak, he was the highest paid live performer of his time. He still occasionally sings songs from the show. Cassidy submitted a doodle for National Doodle Day in 2008 to raise awareness about the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis, which can lead to a host of disfigurements and other conditions. He was hoping to benefit the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation, but was fired in the first week of Celebrity Apprentice 4.

Radar Online reports:

In the end, the women’s team sold more pizza — $170,000 worth, and that was enough to make them the winning team. That meant the men lost, and among the guys, Cassidy brought in the least money; in fact, his big ‘get’ was a $1,000 order made by his own daughter, Gossip Girl actress Katie Cassidy.

Awww, David Cassidy, c’mon. Did you pay her to do it too? We know that you’re a green celebrity and friendly to the environment and people around you, but business is a little more cut-throat, you know?

Cassidy unfortunately was a little too soft for The Donald (Donald Trump) even though he didn’t earn the least amount of money for the pizzaria. [Jose Canseco earned nothing, though that may be less than “least”.] Green celebrity David Cassidy just couldn’t come to terms with the backstabbing that is inherent in big business (or with the other famed celebrities on Celebrity Apprentice 4). Donald Trump saw Cassidy as a liability in business, apparently, and gave him the axe. At least he had the distinction of being the first one fired.
