Piers to terminate Arnie’s plans

By Elaine Sheridan

Former Bond star Pierce Brosnan is squaring up against Hollywood toughman Arnold Schwarzenegger — to protect the stunning Malibu beach in his backyard.

The actor, who played the world’s best-known secret agent, is urging the former action hero who is now Governor of California to stop a massive mining company from building an energy plant in front of his ocean-front home. The star is so upset by the prospect of a natural gas plant off the coast of Malibu he will lead a mass paddle protest in the ocean. The Irish actor and 100 surfers will swim out to protest at the Malibu site where a liquified natural gas terminal is planned.

Brosnan is getting together with a Who’s Who of Hollywood stars including Sting, Cindy Crawford, Danny De Vito, Babara Streisand, Tom Hanks, Jane Seymour, Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend. The former 007 star, who is constantly campaigning on green issues, now has an environmental disaster waiting to land on his own doorstep. The concerned actor and his Hollywood pals have now written a petition to try to rile up all their neighbours in Malibu against the company building the terminal.
