娱乐新闻： Gore and Diaz team up for climate contest

Cameron Diaz

Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz is teaming up with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore to host a TV contest about saving the planet.

The unlikely duo will work with Current TV and in association with the Alliance for Climate Protection on the project, called 60 Seconds to Save the Earth.

The contest challenges viewers across the U.S., U.K. and the Republic of Ireland to create brief public service announcements offering tips to battle global warming.

Gore, who recently organised the Live Earth concerts, says of his latest green initiative, "We are asking young adults to take a stance and use their creative voices to encourage change and help fight the climate crisis."

Diaz adds, "It is an exciting opportunity for young adults from around the world to inspire change because the planet needs a good publicist."

The actress will be joined by Orlando Bloom, George Clooney, singer Rihanna, director Sam Mendes to select 20 finalists.
