The 46-year-old actress Daryl Hannah doesn't want to go down the same route as Angelina Jolie and Madonna and adopt from a different country, because Daryl Hannah believes there are too many children in the US who need a home.
Daryl Hannah said: "There are more than half a million children here in the US who need to be adopted or need homes, so-called 'hard to adopt kids' because they're not babies and come from troubled backgrounds, so I think that's probably the way I'd go."The ardent environmentalist revealed she is often approached by celebrities wanting advice on how to 'go green'.
Daryl Hannah said: "A couple of days ago, I was at a party at Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas' house for Al Gore to celebrate his Oscar-winning film 'An Inconvenient Truth'."Penelope Cruz and Leonardo DiCaprio were there and loads more stars.Melanie and Antonio's 10-year-old daughter Stella has convinced them to 'green' their houses, so I'm going to help them get solar power in their five homes and get their cars on biodiesel."

The soccer star and his wife paid a whopping $20 million for the six-bedroom property in Beverly Hills. But it was the spicy ex spice girl's breasts display that created a buzz over the weekend. She was snapped by photogs and the girls were on display.
It was the now not so subtle black top, with bright flashbulbs that brought out the show from the former Posh Spice Queen Vic's headlights were on high beam today as she arrived in LA, reportedly to get to work on decorating the new $20 million Beckham castle in Beverly Hills. Believe it or not, Vicki was actually wearing a bra -- nude color, underwire, to be exact, but with all the flashes on her thin black sleeveless sweater, there's just no secret what's underneath.
Oh - yes - about the house - Hollywood.com reports that the celebrity pair shunned the bigger mansions, favoring the relatively smaller home for their family of five.
A source says, "It's a very classy property with some of the most sensational views... They went for just six bedrooms and Victoria was anxious to create a modest, cozy family environment." According to a real estate agent, "It's in an amazing location and the views are to die for."

Keira Knightley feels "liberated" filming sex scenes.The 22-year-old actress - who first bared her breasts when she was just 15 in 'The Hole' - says stripping off for her steamy love scenes with co-star Edgar Ramirez in 'Domino' was easy.
She said: "Sex scenes are easy. I don't really have a problem with them.
"Actually it's quite liberating in the movie 'Domino' to be out in the middle of the desert completely topless with a beautiful Venezuelan guy. I was very lucky."
Keira - who also appears topless as the wife of a 19th century silkworm smuggler in new movie 'Silk' - used a bottom double in 'Domino' because she is insecure about her butt.
However, Keira is proud of her pert breasts and is always happy to show them off.
She said: "I did have a body double for my bum but not on my top. I don't have a problem with that."

Drew Barrymore grew up with tear sheets of models such as Cheryl Tiegs, Rachel Hunter and Christie Brinkley plastered on her bedroom wall like wallpaper. Come January, another young girl can do the same with Barrymore's photo.Barrymore is CoverGirl's newest model and spokeswoman, joining a stable of famous faces that includes her former idols and, more recently, Queen Latifah, Molly Sims and Rihanna.Her selection by the Procter & Gamble Co.
beauty brand was to be announced Wednesday at a news conference in Los Angeles.The 32-year-old "Charlie's Angels" actress is also a co-creator of the ads, and before any wardrobe or beauty decisions were made at Monday's print shoot, Barrymore said she was consulting on the concept, graphics, lighting and how the photo would be cropped."I leave the makeup and product up to them, that's their expertise," she told The Associated Press in a phone interview from the set. "What I want to do is honour the tradition of CoverGirl but hopefully bring myself and my personality into it, as well as some edgy fashion-forward thinking and positivity to it."Look for her in a nude-coloured dress, which, Barrymore explained, is a contrast to the bright colours often used in cosmetics ads."I like to be involved in every aspect. I'm a control freak but I keep those issues at bay when I work with other people," she said with a laugh.It's Barrymore's strength that led the company to s
eek her out."We partnered with Drew because she emulates the iconic image of CoverGirl with her fresh, natural beauty and energetic yet authentic spirit," said Esi Eggleston Bracey, vice president and general manager of CoverGirl Cosmetics North America.Barrymore said she loved the chance to play with makeup
and try modelling. "What girl doesn't fantasize about it?" she said.At the same time, she's more of a jeans and T-shirt girl; literally what she was wearing on this day along with Vans sneakers.It is Barrymore's first foray into commercials.She even surprised herself, but the thought of being a CoverGirl still popped into her mind months after she was approached, Barrymore said. She took that at as a good sign.
Now Drew Barrymore becomes the newest face of CoverGirl cosmetics joining Cheryl Tiegs, Rachel Hunter, Christie Brinkley, and Tyra Banks.
“I am honored to be associated with a brand that has been at the forefront of their industry for almost 55 years,” Barrymore said in a release.
“CoverGirl had managed to change with the times, yet stay in touch with women of all ages and backgrounds.”
In a first for the Proctor & Gamble-owned brand, a cover girl will go behind the camera to direct the commercial, Fashion Wire Daily informed.
“Drew is a wonderful addition to the CoverGirl family and her role – both in front of the camera and behind the scenes as co-creative director – is new and different for the cosmetics industry,” noted Esi Eggleston Bracey, vice president and general manager for CoverGirl Cosmetics.
But this isn’t the first time Barrymore has used her face for a campaign. In 1993 she worked for Guess Jeans and more recently was the face for Missoni.

Chris Rock is coursed by a woman who claims he’s her 13-year-old baby’s daddy.
one news channel has learned that 36-year-old Kali Bowyer, who Rock never denied having a fling with several years before he met wife Malaak, has an extensive criminal past riddled with numerous bizarre police encounters, and a penchant for telling wild stories.
According to a thick stack of government obtained documents, Bowyer was convicted of DUI in Georgia, charged with theft by deception last summer, and is facing charges of running an elaborate cell phone scam.
And it doesn’t end there! In the last two years, more than ten incident reports detail some truly strange encounters with police, including one in which cops say she claimed to have been held at gunpoint and forced to “ingest some white powder,” a tale which her own son contradicted under questioning. Bad checks, domestic disturbances, and several veracity-questionable incidents left police scratching their heads.
Bowyer first popped up ten years ago when the boy in question was 3-years-old, claiming that Rock was the dad, but then she disappeared after Rock agreed to a DNA test. Though she’s claims that the comedian’s the dad, Bowyer oddly didn’t list Rock on the birth certificate.
Yesterday, Rock indicated that he would still take a DNA test to determine paternity, even offering to help support the child if he is, in fact, the dad.
