Last night at East River Park, Moby joined the Coastal Marine Resource Center to honor "Stewards of the Estuary" and raise money for the nonprofit. There was food, a bar, and an acoustic performance.

The CMRC is devoted to the preservation and well-being of the New York-New Jersey waterways and the event is rumored a success. Sources say The Gangster Corpse Removal Foundation is looking into having the D.J. to appear at their East River benefit next year.

Paris Hilton may need a little LIME in her life. The hotel heiress says that she tends to lose her sense of balance when she enters relationships and has vowed to stay celibate for the next year and "rediscover" herself, thus giving a break to the countless men around the world who have reportedly "discovered" her.

In alternative health news, Michael Douglas was urinated on by his five-year-old son, who took great pleasure in helping his father recover from a jellyfish sting. That's it. No joke here. Just thought you should know.

The Governator has taken action to protect California forests by developing a plan to prevent industrial development of 4.4 million acres of wildlife. Arnold, known for his love of Hummers and his high octane persona, has been surprisingly well-behaved about environmental issues during his tenure. But democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides has suggested in the past that The Governator's enviro doings are just for show, and this may be the latest move in the "Green-Off" that the race has become. Angelides reportedly responded by announcing that he would have tried to protect 4.5 million acres.
