Lily Cole Joins Eco-friendly Fashion Challenge

12 June 2012 5:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Model-turned-actress Lily Cole is urging Hollywood stars to go green by recycling their red carpet outfits.

The British beauty is the latest famous face to take part in Colin Firth's wife Livia's Green Carpet Challenge by wearing an 'old' gown to the Cannes premiere of her latest movie, Snow White and the Huntsman, last month.

Cole admits it was a "relief" not to have to scour the rails for a new dress, and she's encouraging more A-listers to adopt an ethical approach to fashion by wearing their designer clothes more than once.

She tells Vogue.co.uk, "I felt it was absurd that I needed something new when I have so many nice dresses in my wardrobe. It was actually quite a relief to open my wardrobe and just pick something out. What is ridiculous is that this is interpreted as a slightly radical thought. It should be more the norm....

"You run the risk of perpetuating this myth that you can only wear things once, and everything has to be new and that nobody else can have worn them - because heaven forbid you might be photographed in the same dress as somebody else or yourself. I find the psychology of this so ridiculous... I do really believe that if you buy something, you should like it enough that you're going to be able to wear it out and in five years' time. I'm not a huge fan of trends."

Actor Sean Penn reunited with his on/off girlfriend Petra Nemcova on Friday as she was named an envoy for Haiti.

The Czech supermodel was unveiled as a goodwill ambassador by Haitian President Michel Martelly in recognition of the charity work she has done for the country through her Happy Hearts Fund.

Penn, who was appointed an ambassador-at-large for Haiti earlier this year, was a special guest at the ceremony held at the National Palace in Port-au-Prince.

The couple was first linked in 2008, and they reportedly rekindled their romance after the model broke off her engagement to British actor Jamie Belman in April.

Bill Murray Enjoys Slip And Slide At Rain-delayed Baseball Game

11 June 2012 6:31 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actor Bill Murray entertained sports fans in South Carolina on Sunday by running the bases on a tarpaulin-covered baseball field during a rain delay.

The funnyman trotted out during a minor league game in Charleston, and jogged around the field to wild applause.

When he came towards home plate, the baseball fan belly-flopped on the ground and slid in, spraying water everywhere.

His heroics were rewarded by the home team, the Charleston RiverDogs, who gathered around the Lost in Translation star to high five him and welcome the actor into their dug-out to dry off.

Murray is a part-owner of the Charleston RiverDogs, an affiliate of the New York Yankees.
