Cheers to Project Runway for proving that green is always in. Heidi Klum's reality show admirably asked its designers to create cocktail dresses using environmentally responsible textiles. And who better to serve as guest judge than Natalie Portman, an activist who recently launched a vegan shoe collection? (She must've learned how to work with natural materials from the wooden scripts she was given for the Star Wars flicks.) But seriously, Portman's comments were smart and incisive not for nothing did she go to Harvard. Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board. We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine!

Two words: hil-arious!
