Barton), perhaps you should take note of the following: There’s a reason that BP needs to be held accountable for considerable damage its caused. It’s called gross negligence, and not just in beginning a deep-water drilling operation it had no contingency plan for — but also in cases like that its Texas oil refinery, where safety protocol was treated like a joke, and subsequently, a 2005 explosion left 15… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Justin Bieber Pitches Proactiv

Justin Bieber has something in common with Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry , and Jennifer Love Hewitt. And it isn’t breast size. Instead, the 16-year old sensation has joined these beauties and other celebrities as the latest Proactiv spokesperson. Although it looks like the singer has never had a pimple in his life, Bieber says he can relate to this common teenage problem. Proactiv, naturally, is the solution. “I know that for a teenager, it doesn’t matter how many people are looking at you, you don’t want acne on your face,” Bieber says. “I’m in the limelight all the time… I’m constantly doing interviews, constantly doing photo shoots and I’m determined to keep myself clear. Using Proactiv will help that.” Added Justin: “My fans already know I’m just a regular kid, except the stuff about my life that’s not regular… like performing to thousands of kids and always being in the spotlight.” And guest-starring on CSI , and anchoring a 3D biopic about his life and writing a photo-based memoir . Except for all that stuff, Justin is just like you! Watch a behind-the-scenes video of Bieber’s Proactiv commercial below. Bieber for Proactiv

To wit: “It was the best acted movie since Reindeer Games !” Hilarious stuff.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Topless Photos: Attractive

Okay, Transformers 3 , we forgive you.

But the Victoria’s Secret model has proven Michael Bay and company correct by doing what she does best: posing seductively. In the following photos, believed to be from DT Magazine, Huntington-Whiteley sheds her top, protrudes a few ribs and makes us look forward to Transformers 3 for reasons that have nothing to do with its inevitably awful script…
