PETA Asia-Pacific have launched their annual Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity contest on their web site PETAAsiaPacific.com and Isabel Lucas is in the running for the title of Australia’s Sexiest Vegetarian. You can view the contest (and vote!) RIGHT HERE. Fads are a dime a dozen among red carpet regulars, but being vegetarian is one Tinseltown trend that won’t be fading away any time soon! More and more stars are taking on a new role—as models for a compassionate, healthy, and Earth-friendly lifestyle. – Thanks to Ashley for this information. |

MTV SOTSK Documentary – Screencaps Pt.1
Filed in: Gallery Update, Mt Kilimanjaro Climb 2010, The Pacific Posted by: Jess Comments: 1 Comment Mar 18 2010
As reported, the MTV documentary of the SOTSK climb aired on Sunday night, and thanks to the awesome Kimberly we have exclusive videos of the show! Today I have added screencaps from the 1st half of the show, and the 2nd batch will follow over the weekend. So far the documentary is really interesting – it’s fascinating seeing the landscape of Mt Kili and seeing how they all cope and are affected by the climb, and quite inspiring to hear them talk about what they’re doing and how passionate they are about it. Plus, there’s the sweetest quote about Isabel from Kenna:
Videos will be added when our Video section is started. The Pacific also aired on Sunday night, but I don’t think Isabel appeared in this episode. And from the sounds of this article, it seems she may only appear in the 3rd episode, or at least, the majority of her part is in that episode. I’ll keep you posted… • MTV’s Summit On The Summit: Kilimanjaro Documentary – Screencaptures x182 (1st batch)          |

HBO have posted 17 videos from The Pacific at their video website here. I haven’t watched them yet so I can’t tell you which, if any, Isabel is in, so you’ll have to browse. The Official website has lots of new content, including a list of episodes (there are 10 in total). I find the site quite hard to navigate, but if you’re patient you might find some good stuff there.

Emile mentioned Isabel a few times in this new interview with Vanity Fair about the Mt Kilimanjaro climb. The mentions of Isabel are below, and you can read the full interview with him here. Mike Ryan: After the initial adrenaline rush of the idea of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro wore off, was there ever a moment in the weeks leading up where you thought, “Holy shit, I actually have to climb Mount Kilimanjaro”? Emile Hirsch: Yeah. The way I got involved is that I was friends with Isabel Lucas, and I called her when she was working on a movie in Michigan. She told me all about this climb. I said, “Wow, that sounds amazing.” Isabel’s very sweet: she didn’t make climbing Kilimanjaro sound very scary or hard. And I didn’t actually know that much about Kilimanjaro up to that point. So it sounded like this almost glorified hippie hike. It could have been a hill to me for all I knew at that exact moment. So Kenna called me and talked to me about it. I had a series of conversations with him. Each time I asked him more about it, is started to sound like a much harder endeavor. When I found out it is 19,340 feet and that Mount McKinley was just a couple of hundred feet higher, that really blew my mind. I’d seen Mount McKinley when I was in Alaska shooting Into the Wild. You could see McKinley from about 100 miles away, and it was huge. And I always wanted to climb McKinley. We’d be going to set and I’d be looking at it, wanting to run over there and climb it. This was an opportunity to make up for missing out on McKinley. In doing research for this interview, I spoke to a friend who climbed Kilimanjaro a couple of years ago. I now know the definition of “scree” [broken rock fragments on mountain cliffs]… Yeah! I “screed” all the way down. Once I actually got to the summit, I had this realization that I was running pretty low on water because I had given Isabel a good amount of my water—she was really in bad shape and really thirsty and had already finished all of hers. She ended up drinking quite a bit of it. So I had a near empty water supply and realizing I had about four miles of really, really steep terrain and scree. And I had to just kind of scree down the mountain really fast. It became fun, it became like skiing. |

In 2005, Kenna — who had long heard stories of the majesty and mystery of Mt. Kilimanjaro from his father — decided to climb the peak. He made it to Kosovo Camp, a clearing located some 16,000 feet above sea level (and still 3,000 feet from the summit), and then pushed onward toward the top of the mountain. He didn’t make it. Five years later, he decided to make the trek again, this time in the hope of calling attention to the global clean-water crisis. Both the trip and the cause were personal to Kenna, because when his father was a child in Ethiopia, he lost his brother and friends to water-borne diseases and, as he put it, “I could have been one of those kids.” So, in January, with a crew of nearly 300 backing him up — including fellow musicians Lupe Fiasco and Santigold, actors Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas, plus a team of scientists, United Nations ambassadors and skilled guides — he headed back up the mountain. (His friend Justin Timberlake intended to join the trek but couldn’t due to scheduling conflicts; Justin introduces the film.) And their trip is documented in “Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro,” a 90-minute film that premieres Sunday (March 14) at 9 p.m. ET on MTV. And apart from detailing the group’s massive scaling of Africa’s tallest mountain, the film also contains a symbolic message, one that applies not just to the trek, but to tackling seemingly insurmountable issues like global clean water: that together, we can accomplish great things. |

“Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro” doesn’t premiere on MTV until Sunday at 9 p.m. ET, but you can get a sneak peek of the documentary, which follows Kenna and his team’s treacherous trek up Africa’s highest mountain, right now. In February, Kenna, along with fellow musicians Lupe Fiasco and Santigold, actors Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas, and a team of scientists and experienced mountain guides, climbed to the peak of Kilimanjaro — some 19,000 feet above sea level — with the goal of raising awareness about the global clean-water crisis. It’s an epidemic that hits close to home for the Ethiopian-born artist. “When I was younger, my dad pointed out Kilimanjaro on a huge atlas. It stood in my mind as one of the wonders of the world,” he said. “This climb is dedicated to my father. As a child in Ethiopia, he lost his brother and lost his friends and family to water-borne diseases. A billion people in the world don’t have clean water. I had to do something about it. For me it’s personal. I could have been one of those kids. I needed to come up with something that would command attention. And the only thing I could think of that was that massive was climbing Kilimanjaro.” |
