Michael Jackson is apparently set on creating a fifty-foot robot version of himself that will wander the Nevada desert and shoot lasers from its eyes (yes, seriously [1]). Ecologists haven't yet assessed the threat Jackson's robot would pose to the fragile desert floor, but cacti with young offspring have already hired legal representation.

Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck has taken a stand for animals [2] and the environment, vowing to only use eggs and meat from chickens that haven't been raised in tiny cages and avoiding seafood that's in danger of depletion or is harvested in an un-eco-friendly manner. While activists applaud Puck's decision, free range chickens everywhere are protesting.

Production of a Hollywood movie starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey has been put on hold due to hordes of deadly jellyfish [3] in the waters along the Australian coastline.

Senator James Inhofe, made famous when he called global warming "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people," is fighting with all of his might [5] to prevent Al Gore from holding a Live Earth concert [5] at the Capital.
