Forget the limos!
| Los Angeles (AP) 2.25.04, 9:10a -- Young Oscar nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes says she'll pass on taking a stretch limousine to her first Academy Awards to do her part in helping the environment. The 13-year-old "Whale Rider" star and best actress contender is one of a handful of celebrities who will be chauffeured to the gala in a Toyota Prius. It's part of an effort to help promote the use of hybrid cars powered by both gasoline and electricity.
Charlize Theron, Sting, Robin Williams, Jack Black, Tim Robbins and Will Ferrell are among those committed to arriving at the red carpet in a hybrid car, courtesy of the environmental group Global Green USA. The group first provided hybrid vehicles for celebrities last year when splashy red-carpet arrivals were canceled because of the war in Iraq. |
