Americans may be using less toilet paper, if Sheryl Crow has her way. The singer, who is crossing the country on a biodiesel bus with producer Laurie David, proposes limiting toilet paper use as one solution to global warming, according to a Washington Post report. "I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming," she wrote April 19 on the Biodiesel Bus blog, according to a report by the Washington Post. "Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of...

Singer Sheryl Crow and environmentalist Laurie David have been traveling across America on a two-week Stop Global Warming College Tour, which winds up today at George Washington University. Crow and David (co-producer of the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" and wife of "Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Larry David) have been touting their cause and chronicling their travels in a rather idiosyncratic blog. Here, on Earth Day, are a few excerpts: David (4/10, Dallas): I am jogging outside in 40 degree freezing cold . . . 70 degrees in January and 40 degrees in April. That is exactly why Sheryl Crow and I...

Filed under: TV, The View The answer, presumably, is no -- but Rosie made her point, pooh-poohing Sheryl Crow for suggesting that we all use just one square of toilet paper per trip to the loo. Crow made her comments on her blog last week, and Rosie took a moment on this morning's "The View" to express her incredulity at the supposedly enviro-friendly suggestion. "Have you seen my ass?!" bellowed Rosie, and Barbara Walters was good enough to warn viewers not to use their sleeves, another of Crow's helpful suggestions. That's just about enough scatology and wipe-tech for one morning...

MIDI - BOTH SIDES NOW In one day I'd use a roll...I really was out of control The guilt had taken quite a toll...that was my history I'm now a model citizen...with toilet paper I'll begin And I will pay for my past sins...I'll do it gleefully I've learned to wipe with both sides now...surprisingly, it works somehow One sheet's what the law should allow...and I do not care that I smell like a cow I'll save the environment...Earth Day is such a great event It's getting warm, that's evident...I listen to Al Gore We all must try to...

April 24, 2007 — It all started with a joke. Wrapping up a nationwide global warming tour, singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow posted a quirky "solution" online about a new way to save the environment. She wrote: "I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting." She told the joke to get people's attention, and it worked. Talk show hosts had a field day with Crow's comments. "Have you seen my [backside]?" Rosie O'Donnell joked on "The View." "It seemed like Sheryl was trying to be a little bit cheeky, no...

Part of my new ode to Sheryl Crow, aka "I've got an Issue with the Tissue": and you know I just don't go Number 2 Anymore And my farts, they smell like roses - Really, I don't release my greenhouse gases anymore - - That's why I'm a little more puffy nowadays - - But I tell ya, somedays it's pretty hard keeping that cork up there.. More to come.

MIDI - JUST ONE LOOK We must do our part...it is up to each human being who's here It is all environmental Just one sheet...that is all you get, get, get...when you're wiping your fanny I'm not kidding Just one sheet...so wipe carefully-y-y...you may have to help granny She can't do it Just one sheet...though it sounds absurd, you must listen...stop global warming Save our planet Just one sheet...or we all will be in deep mouring If it's too late to save it...right down the crapper, there it goes We use too much paper...that's obvious...obvious And if all of...

When it comes to Sheryl Crow's touring requirements, if it's Tuesday, this must be Bombay. Gin that is. The rock star's performance contract includes specific day-to-day instructions on what kind of booze Sheryl needs in her dressing room (TSG has never seen such attention to detail in any other concert rider we've posted). For each show, Crow requires 12 bottles of Grolsch beer, 6 bottles of "local" beer, and a bottle each of "good Australian Cabernet" and "good Merlot." As for the harder stuff, promoters are directed to purchase specific booze depending on what day of the week the concert...

Talk about serendipity ! George Tenet releases a new book on the same day Sheryl Crow urges us to use only ONE SQUARE of toilet paper ! Oh....and PLEASE don't squeeze the Charmin' !!
