What's Hot This Week February 12, 2008
Eco-Gifting:
EarthMoment.com
Want to get your beloved something green — along with something red — this Valentine's Day? Then log on to www.EarthMoment.com to search for the perfect present. When you buy through the site (courtesy of retailers like Apple, Barnes & Noble and others) half of the commission-based revenue that EarthMoment receives from the vendor goes to CarbonFund.org, an organization that helps support carbon offset projects. There's no extra charge to you, either. Happy Valentine's Day!
Movie:
Definitely, Maybe
Cute Ryan Reynolds stars as the divorced father of a 10-year-old girl (Little Miss Sunshine's Abigail Breslin). When she asks to hear more about her dad's life before she was born, her dad fills her in on his past loves. No wonder this flick is opening on February 14 — it's the perfect romantic treat!
DVD:
Becoming Jane Anne Hathaway stars as famous author Jane Austen who experiences her own love story (with Atonement's James McAvoy) in this adorable period piece.
On Tour:
Linkin Park
Speaking of going green, the band members of Linkin Park have their own way of helping the planet. They've already donated a half-million dollars toward reforestation, and now they plan on donating $1 from each ticket sold on their tour to go towards a tree planting initiative. And while on tour, they'll work with each venue to recycle, reuse, and renew whenever possible, even using bio-diesel fuel in trucks and buses whenever possible. Find out more about their good deeds — and their tour dates — at www.linkinpark.com.
TV:
Jericho — Season Premiere
Fans freaked out, and CBS caved in to the pressure. Jericho was given a reprieve and is back for another season. Excited? Then tune in this week to see the season premiere — and this time, CBS says if enough people aren't watching, they'll pull the plug for good. Gulp!
Music:
Laura Marling — Alas, I Cannot Swim
She's on 18, but songwriter Laura Marling already has a huge following on MySpace and now a debut album Alas, I Cannot Swim, imported from Britain. With a gorgeous voice and extremely smart lyrics, she's got talent to spare.
