(I have waited in vain for a segment on organic Botox and biodegradable implants.) Justin Timberlake builds an eco-friendly golf course. Host Maria Menounos enlists an "eco-designer" to redo her summer cabana. "Green is beautiful!" she declares. Sure it is, if you have a freaking cabana and a personal decorator...
