Vote here in honor of Earth Day

Body

It’s hip to be green in Hollywood. Usmagazine.com rounded up the most eco-friendly celebs in honor of Earth Day. Check out what these stars are doing:

Leonardo DiCaprio, 33, just bought a condo in the solar-powered Riverhouse building in New York City. "Riverhouse is a prime example of how green technology is both accessible and achievable for new residential developments — it is a groundbreaking building," a rep for the actor said. DiCaprio, who has an environmental foundation named after himself, also made a documentary called The 11th Hour.

Cameron Diaz has appeared in public service announcements for Act Green, and also drives around in hybrid Toyota Prius. "I love my car!" she has said. "It actually saves me probably from a lot of tickets, because I like to drive fast, and the Prius goes fast enough - but it's not a Porsche, so it actually keeps me out of trouble." Diaz also purchases carbon offsets while traveling. "My travel agent just basically tallies it as I go," she says.

Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth won an Oscar for Best Documentary, the former Vice President won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize (with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Gore calls global warming, "the greatest challenge we've ever faced."

Singer Jack Johnson records in a solar-power studio made from 100-percent-consumer waste. His summer tour will also be entirely eco-friendly: he'll travel in vehicles fueled with bio-diesel, will offer earth-friendly merchandise and will try to reduce carbon emissions from concert venues.

Brad Pitt has been leading the charge for sustainable redevelopment of New Orleans following 2005's Hurricane Katrina through this Global Green USA Holy Cross Project. “What happened two years ago was a man-made disaster,” says Brad, “and this building offers a man-made solution.”

Paris Hilton traded her Range Rover SUV for a Ford Hybrid car. "I think driving hybrid cars is the new way to go, and recycling," she's said.

A warrant for Hayden Panettiere's arrest was issued after the Heroes actress interfered with a Dolphin and whale hunt. "The world and the environment are evolving and that means we must change our ways as human beings as well," she has said.

Hayden Panettiere Comes Clean: "I Don’t Have a Model's Body"

Still, she says, "I'm not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they're fat"

Body

So maybe she isn’t Gisele Bundchen or Kate Moss.

Hayden Panettiere is OK with that.

“I don’t have a model’s body,” the Heroes star, 18, admits in the April issue of Cosmopolitan. “But I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m okay with what I have. I can rock this body, you know.”

What keeps her grounded? The actress (and whale rights enthusiast) says she skips out on clubbing.

“I think people look at me as just another one of those girls who’s going to screw up, like, ‘She’s going to get into drugs, and she’s going to get into parties,’” Panettiere says. “I have an occasional glass of champagne when I’m celebrating something, but generally, I don’t drink. I’m a pizza-and-a-movie girl.”

When it comes to choosing a mate, Panettiere (who’s currently dating co-star Milo Ventimiglia, 30) wants a man equally level-headed.

“I need somebody who is very secure,” she says. “In this business, I’m constantly standing next to gorgeous people.

“My job is to make out with [attractive] men. Like, hello, who wouldn’t be completely threatened by that?” she adds.“But, at the end of the day, you have to realize that it’s a job.”

Hayden Panettiere: Why I Broke Up With Stephen Colletti

Mandi Illuzzi — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:00:42 -0500

"I just knew I wanted to breathe," she tells Seventeen

Body

Hayden Panettiere is opening up about why she ended her romance with Laguna Beach alum Stephen Colletti. (Us Weekly broke the news of their split last September.)

“I just knew I wanted to breathe," Panettiere, 18, says in the April issue of Seventeen. "I wanted to be single at the time.

"It just hit me like a ton of bricks: This is the time I need to be with myself. It takes such a secure person to be with someone like me—it takes so much confidence; it takes so much trust.”

Panettiere found a way to spend her time alone: campaigning for whales.

A warrant was out for her arrest in Japan after she interfered in a dolphin hunt last year.

"There’s very little that scares me," she tells Seventeen. "I’ve always been a physical person. And I feel like a lot of time in this industry, a lot of people loan their face to a cause, which is great, but it doesn’t do as much as getting out there and actually physically doing something.”

Panettiere doesn't apologize for being so outspoken.

“I don’t need to prove myself to anyone," she says. "I’m not that kind of person.

“I know myself much better now than I did [before]," she goes on. "And my opinions of things and my morals – I am not as easily swayed as I used to be.

"And when you learn to accept yourself, the more you learn to be okay with yourself and know yourself, the easier it is to love somebody and allow them to love you.”

Panettiere is currently dating her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia.

EXCLUSIVE: Hayden Panettiere "Waiting to Hear from Hillary Clinton"

The undecided Heroes star will "vote for whoever will help save the whales," a source tells Us

Body

Here's one undecided voter who expects to be personally wooed: Heroes star Hayden Panettiere.

The 18-year-old told Us Weekly in its latest issue (on newsstands now) that she was "not yet prepared to say" which candidate she is supporting.

"I had a conversation with Barack Obama," she told Us. "I'm waiting to hear from Hillary Clinton."

The decisive issue for the actress? Saving the whales.

A source tells Us that when she attended a February 1 dinner with Chelsea Clinton, "Hayden made it clear to Chelsea she'll vote for whoever will help save the whales."

(Panettiere also accused Us of reporting "inaccuracies" about her relationship with Milo Ventimiglia, 30. "You guys say untrue things," she told Us. "I'm not living with him. I'm not pregnant. There is no engagement." For the record, Us never reported anything of the sort.)

The Heroes stars come clean about their romance

Body

The romance between Heroes stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia has been an open secret for months – in part because of their 12-year age gap. (Check out more pictures of their first public date here.)

"They were tired of avoiding questions and of all of the effort of keeping it secretive," a Panettiere source tells Us Weekly in its new issue, on newsstands now.

Panettiere, 18, who plays Ventimiglia's niece on the hit show, was also worried about her reputation. "She didn't want people thinking she is a 'ho' because she jumped from one relationship into another," a source close to her tells Us.

Indeed, Ventimiglia, 30, had a crush on his co-star since she was dating Stephen Colletti. "He always had a crush, but really let her know the minute she broke up with Stephen," a source says.

Since Panettiere still leaves with her mom, it's a good thing, a source tells Us, that Ventimiglia has her approval. "Milo is such a good guy, honest and sweet," says a source. Besides, says another source, "She is really like a 30-year-old."

Check out the latest Us Weekly for more on Hayden and Milo as well as other Hollywood guys who like teen girls.
