With the buzz about Jennifer Aniston’s pregnancy with what could be twins, I thought it was important to highlight another pregnant woman, who dresses in eco-chic. No I’m not talking about Jessica Alba, although we love her green diet and style, Bones’ star Emily Deschanel is expecting later this year with husband, David Hornsby (who is hilarious as Rickety Cricket on Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia for those who have not seen it).

Despite Emily’s very talented family members, the star is very down-to-earth and constantly tries to share her Eco-Faves so others can benefit from green living. And pregnancy has not stopped Emily’s dedication to Veganism, which she has stuck to for the past nineteen years. The star says she can turn anyone vegetarian. To her credit, she has inspired Bones’ co-star and original vampire hunk David Boreanaz (Angel sucking blood, yet collecting hearts long before Edward fought werewolves for Bella’s heart) to try and eat vegetarian at least one day a week.

Deschanel’s accessories also prove to be eco-friendly. Starting with her biggest, her car! Deschanel drives a Prius, and not just because she wants to go in the carpool lane (the Prius’ stickers for the carpool lane will expire later this year). Emily’s character on Bones dons eco-friendly, fair-trade bling. You’ll never catch Doctor Temperance “Bones” Brennan in fur or leather.

We have to admit that we are a little biased in our love for Emily’s style and eco-favorites. Before the actress found out that her family was expanding, she would contribute her eco-must haves to the Green With Glamour site.
Best of luck with your first child, Emily! Keep up the great work and good luck turning the world vegetarian, one meet eater at a time!

We all love gossip. Admit it. Maybe you don’t care about the “Housewives” (I know I don’t) or the sexual exploits of whichever politician has most recently been “exposed”, but you know there’s something – be it fashion, Hollywood, international affairs, whatever… about which you like to hear the scoop. And if it’s the do-gooding ways of celebrities who care about the environment, civil and social rights, animal welfare, charitable causes – or are just all around compassionate, Lindsay’s Celebrity Low-Down is your new best friend. Check out her post on Green Is Sexy co-founder, Rachel McAdams here.

Given her latest rude role in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris,” I think it’s important to get Rachel McAdams back some of her good girl image.

McAdams & Owen Wilson in “Midnight in Paris”
Although many actresses, McAdams included, do not own a television set, McAdams also does not own a car! The Ontario native takes the bus or rides her bike to work each day, in order to reduce her carbon footprint. Not only is this a good way for her to be “green”, but it clearly helps her to stay in shape.

Pedal Power!
A vegetarian, McAdams is so devoted to the cause that she co-founded a blog with her friends, Megan and Didi, called GreenIsSexy.org. The blog’s purpose is to promote an eco-friendly lifestyle and encourage people to make a difference through small, yet effective changes in alternate transportation, veggie food choices, etc. (And we’re proud to note that Green With Glamour is listed on the site as one of the things they love!

It seems that McAdams’ commitment to a green lifestyle has rubbed off on those closest to her as well. Her boyfriend, Michael Sheen (the two have been dating since filming “Midnight in Paris” together in 2010), has recently been seen at Aberavon Beach helping the students of Sandfield’s Comprehensive School clean up the litter. And for Christmas, McAdams bought her father a composter, in order to make his eco-friendly trash-sorting a little bit easier.

It seems that this is just the beginning for McAdams. She plans on continuing her efforts even after she has passed. “I don’t want to have a tombstone,” McAdams said of her death in an interview.
“You can now be made into a reef! I was reading that they can make your remains into a reef and put you in the ocean, and the fish can feed off you! I just want to go back into the earth the same way I came.” ~Rachel McAdams
