"Green" is the new buzz word these days, and I don't mean money, although that never goes out of style.

Barack Obama is more Liberal minded and conscious of the importance of cleaning up the Earth's environment than the previous administration. This has brought about a more positive spirit towards this issue and more people are listening and doing their part.

We can all help, if even in only a small way but the big green stuff, such as building a green house or retrofitting an existing one, can only be accomplished by persons with plenty of the "green stuff."

The world of Hollywood and celebrities is rife with people of means, such as Bryan Cranston, shown above, and they are busy doing their part to lower their carbon footprints.

It has become a global phenomenon and still is not being highlighted despite a series of celebrity deaths. As per International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) annual report, the drug abuse of prescription drugs is more common as compared to abuse of illegal substances. This situation prevails across other Western countries also.

2009 witnessed the death of Brittany Murphy and Michael Jackson as a result of medication overdose. One major cause of concern is that people don't associate any kind of risk of using prescription drugs.

In the year 2008 alone, an estimated 6.2 million people abused prescription drugs. In order to curb this problem INCB has been asking countries to improve their monitoring and take action against those medical professionals which provide such medication unlawfully.

We might admit or not but we are smitten by Hollywood bodies and somewhere deep inside our heart we would like to achieve those well toned bodies and in this desire become picture perfect we end up becoming victims of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. This is a condition where a person gets obsessed with cosmetic flaws which might be real or imaginary and a psychological disorder like this tends to disrupt the quality of life of an individual.

A person suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder tends to perform several cosmetic surgeries on themselves to correct these flaws and in returns renders more harm to themselves than good. A person becomes critical of the perceived flaw even though everything is right with them. In number of cases, this obsession could lead to depression and social isolation.

People suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder are obsessed with certain body parts such as hair, nose and skin. Around 2% of the world population is believed to be suffering from this disorder. The desire to look picture perfect has given birth to Body Dysmorphic Disorder and in case it is not detected and treated at an early stage the patients could end up committing suicide.

If you feel you are suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder, waste no time and consult a LA Plastic Surgeon as they are regarded as experts for treatment of this disorder.

The Oscars are just around the corner and Hollywood is buzzing with activity to make the lavish event will go smoothly; but there are a few bumps in the road.

So far the biggest boo-boo of this year's Oscar's was the attempt by "Hurt Locker" producer, Nicolas Chartier, to influence Academy member's voting, in favor of his entry, of course.

I guess Chartier thought he was a politician for a moment.

Anyway here's the full story and don't forget that The Academy Awards is on this Sunday.

At this point one has to wonder if popular actor, Charlie Sheen, seen here praying for something, is on a quest to set the record for most time spent in rehabilitation of one kind or another.

This time Sheen's antics have not only necessitated another stretch in rehab but it is affecting his professional life.

Sheen, the star of "Two And A Half Men", will be taking a break from the highly successful show, thus halting production.

No reason was given for Sheen's rehab but it apparently has something to do with his recent fisticuffs with his wife, Brooke, is also in rehab for treatment of an undisclosed problem.

Here's the latest Charlie Sheen rehab story.
