Madonna...Still the Material Girl

Madonna urged us all to save our planet at Live Earth. But, obviously her claim to care doesn't apply to her own material needs. ...Not much eco-friendly noise on Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour. Her crew released the goods needed on her 45-day world tour on the singer's website. ...Among the items: 3500 pieces of clothing, 120 powder puffs, 100 pairs of kneepads, 12 traveling trampolines, 200 makeup sponges, 69 guitars. ...AND 4 YSL lipsticks. ....Only 4 lipsticks to cover entire tour?

...Alas, Johnny Depp is going public with his eco-lifestyle. A few years back, the super-private actor and hater of Hollywood excess bought a 35-acre Caribbean Island he endearingly named "F*ck Off Island." Now he's planning to have his "leave me alone" paradise run on clean energy. According to the Huffington Post, the actor is third in line to receive a grid-independent solar hydrogen system from Mike Strizki, the man who created the first solar- hydrogen house in the United States.

Unlike some "green grand-standing celebs", Demi and Ashton keep their do-good work low-key. According to ecorazzi, the power couple quietly slipped off to Guatemala to help build houses for Habitat for Humanity. The charity group is supporing the countries' indigenous organic farmers. ...And these two did seroius hands-on labor. "Demi and Ashton were actually building houses with tin roofs and schlepping breeze blocks in the midday sun. Ashton's father is carpenter so he has some experiences," reports a British media source.
