Check out a preview: The show also includes an update on the work of th ... |

| Playing hard-nosed Executive Assistant District Attorney Jack McCoy, actor Sam Waterston has thrown the book at the bad guys for years on TV's Law & Order. Bad guys on boats and beaches better watch out now, too, because Waterston recently joined Oceana's Ocean Council, a panel of academic, business, and philanthropic leaders who represent and support Oceana's efforts on the global stage. Also on the Ocean Council are actors Pierce Brosnan and Kelsey Grammar. ... |

So here goes:Leonardo DiCaprio announced this weekend during press for his documentary 11th Hour (which I've heard, ps, is not awesome, though I hope I misheard) that he arrived at Cannes via commercial jet and tries to fly commercially as much as possible.

| Your TV just got a little smarter. As Amanda mentioned last month, the Sundance Channel has launched 'The Green,' a weekly primetime destination that showcases original series and documentaries based on the earth's ecology and 'green' concepts for living in better harmony with the planet. I'm personally excited about this project now that my favorite Seafood Contamination Campaign spokeswoman, Amber Valletta, has her very own spot. She joins the ranks of other th ... |

A moment of silence for Veronica Mars
Network TV's best show is cancelled |

| It's no secret that we have a Grist-wide crush on Kristen Bell (the world's sexiest vegetarian!). So I feel obliged to take a break from the green and note with great sorrow that CW has cancelled Veronica Mars, Bell's sharp, sassy, criminally underappreciated star vehicle. It's a cliche at this point that females are bombarded with unhealthy messages in pop culture, but it's true nonetheless. I'm honestly surprised women can stand to watch network TV. It's filled wi ... |

| 'The Democrats' Global War on Weather' and 'Jack Bauer, Climatologist???' are the headlines conservatives are using to mock efforts by progressives to finance a National Intelligence Estimate to study global warming. But climate is clearly a national security threat, as made clear in a recent CNA report from a distinguished group of former military leaders (PDF). As but one example, a 'ferocious drought and famine' were the driving forces behind the crisis in Darfur, ... |

Travolta, you see, recently opined on the subject of global warming, just after driving a Harley down the red ... |
