SAVE THE PLANET

HOLLYWOOD RALLYING FOR EARTH

The Hollywood Goes Green summit, which begins tomorrow at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, comes at a pivotal time: Environmental activism is fractured into "light" and "dark" green: the light side advocating eco-chic consumerism as a means of gradually effecting change, and the dark seeking an immediate shift. Organizers say attendees — from TV, film and music — will seek ways to curb the industry's vast consumption of resources and make (or, more likely, save) some money in the process.

FINAL WORD

"The beard. Ryan has so much confidence in that beard. Whenever he feels insecure, he strokes it. The beard says he's trying to be a man, and he thinks he's there — but he's not."

B.J. Novak | of "The Office," on how his character, Ryan, was able to pull off the transition from bemused, likable temp to corporate jerk, in TV Guide
