Heroes star and dolphin crusader/leather handbag designer Hayden Panettiere’s father was charged with misdemeanor battery yesterday, following his drunken assault on his wife.
Alan Panettiere faces up to a year in a Los Angeles County jail if convicted. He was arrested on Aug. 11 on suspicion of striking his wife, Lesley.
At the time, a sheriff’s spokesman said Panettiere was accused of hitting his wife three times with an open hand. The 49-year-old was later released on $50,000 bail after the arrest. His arraignment will be held in October at a Beverly Hills courthouse.
Jail records did not indicate an attorney for Panettiere.
First of all, how odd is it that Hayden hasn’t ponied up for a lawyer for good ol’ Dad.
Unless maybe she no longer believes her dad beating up her mom was “absolutely nothing.” Which, duh.
That’s not coming from me. It’s coming from The Guardian:
People who believe they have the greenest lifestyles can be seen as some of the main culprits behind global warming, says a team of researchers, who claim that many ideas about sustainable living are a myth.
According to the researchers, people who regularly recycle rubbish and save energy at home are also the most likely to take frequent long-haul flights abroad. The carbon emissions from such flights can swamp the green savings made at home, the researchers claim.
Stewart Barr, of Exeter University, who led the research, said: “Green living is largely something of a myth. There is this middle class environmentalism where being green is part of the desired image. But another part of the desired image is to fly off skiing twice a year. And the carbon savings they make by not driving their kids to school will be obliterated by the pollution from their flights.”
So, just as a hypothetical, let’s say you’re an aging, multimillionaire pop star who babbles a lot about how WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE FROM GLOBAL WARMING, but you can’t get enough of traveling in private jets to get to one of your many palatial homes after touring with the most pollutionistical band in the world. Great news: You’re just like the rest of us! Literally. Your wastefulness equals all the rest of us put together.
