The former Mötley Crüe drummer and Pamela Anderson paramour has gone green.

TreeHugger has an interview and video:

Today is the first full day of Planet Green broadcasting!  The channel went on the air last night at 6pm with the first episode of Hollywood Green with Maria Menounos (or as the website describes her, “the popular Maria Menounos”), and now is officially the only 24hour network devoted to green programming.  As we’ve previously mentioned, we can look forward to a lot of great stuff on this network.  Like, I don’t know, this:
