| Live Earth Sequel? Nobel Peace Concert To Honor Gore and Co. Filed under: honors, music — michael @ 12:26 pm It has been announced that Uma Thurman will join Tommy Lee Jones in co-hosting the 2007 Nobel Peace Concert honoring winners Al Gore and the U.N.’s Climate Chance Panel. The December 11th concert, held the day after the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, will draw top music and film stars and be broadcast to more than 100 countries. Whether the world is ready or not, it looks like we’re going to have a mini Live Earth concert special on our hands again. Slated to perform so far are Alicia Keys, Annie Lennox, Morten Harket, Earth, Wind & Fire, KT Tunstall, and Melissa Etheridge, who won an Academy Award this year for the song ‘I Need to Wake Up,’ which was featured in Gore’s environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth. From the article, “Geir Lundestad, the secretary of the Nobel Peace Prize committee, said they were delighted that Thurman had agreed to host. ‘She brings iconic style and substance to the event and will help us tremendously in our mission of spreading the global message of peace,’ Lundestad said.” Tommy Lee Jones readily accepted co-hosting duties as well. After all, he was Gore’s roommate at Harvard University. Of course! Have you ever heard of anyone having the type of year that Al Gore is having? |
