Shower power: In Las Vegas, the phrase "cleaning up" usually means something other than personal hygiene.

Today at 1 p.m. at the Planet Hollywood pool, however, they're trying to break the record for the world's largest group shower.

The rocker and the rapper have been traveling cross-country in bio-diesel tour buses, exploring environmental issues through green-themed challenges.
