Pat Sajak on global warming, Michael Jordan’s green sneaks, and Oy, Madonna – $10,000 on bottled water?

Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak isn't buying the theory of global warming. Vanna White's partner in constonants and vowels writes on his web site that people worried that an environmental disaster is imminent if we don't make big changes should give up our cars and form communes instead of merely "recycling Evian bottles." Ripping Al Gore, he nominated the environmentalist as the leader of the commune, saying if he could give up large homes, gas-guzzling cars, private jets and the consumption of meat, millions more would likely do the same. You know what Pat Sajak? I always liked Jeopardy and Alex Trebek more than I liked you. So there.

CSI's Eva LaRue, who is still mostly famous for her soap opera days on All My Children, is the new spokesperson for the Sierra Club. In a new ad, she appears with her super cute look-alike daughter Kaya, and calls for people to make a 2% reduction in their carbon emissions each year – with a goal of 80% by the year 2050 -- as part of their 2% Solution Campaign. Well, sign me up, Eva –2050 will be here before we know it… so will the gray hair and wrinkles. Sigh.

In Touch magazine reports that Madonna spends $10,000 on specially blessed, bottled Kabbalah water. A source told the mag: "Madonna drinks a lot of water -that's one of her fitness secrets. And Kabbalah water is the only stuff she will touch. She makes sure she always has some, and has it shipped to wherever in the world she's staying at the time." Madge, you're breaking my heart. Tell ya what – I'll give you my gallon size Brita water filter and you can just travel with it. Throw it in a Louis Vuitton bag, and whatever city you're in, just bring it to your local Kabbalah centre, fill up that bad boy with some tap water and have a rabbi bless it. See how giving I am?

Lastly, can you believe Nike is launching their 23rd edition of Air Jordans? Michael Jordan's sneaker franchise has come a long way since they were first released in 1985 – the AJXX3 will be the first shoe in the company's history that incorporates environmentally-friendly materials. Like what? Well, they use a small amount of glue and adhesives, relying instead on a system of interlocking panels. “We pissed off a lot of people at the factory because this wasn’t business as usual,” a spokesperson for the company told Brandweek about the design. Hey – if you're helping the green movement, piss, piss away.
