Nineteen-year-old Mexican American star of the new Twilight movie ‘Twilight Saga New Moon’ Chrisitian Serratoas is against cruelty to animals, and to prove her point, is posing nude in Peta’s Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur campaign.
In the photo for People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), Christian says, “Animals killed for their fur are electrocuted, drowned, beaten and often skinned alive. Please don’t wear fur.”
“I’ve always been opposed to slaughtering, eating, wearing carcass(es),” Christian said. “It’s just always seemed gross to me.”
Christian is the youngest celebrity to bare all for the organization’s anti-fur campaign. See other celebrities who have posed naked for Peta:

Hollywood star Nia Long is going to long(-legged) lengths to save the animals — even posing in a subway car completely nude to make her point that she’d “rather go naked than wear fur”.
Long is the latest celebrity to hop in on the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) bandwagon in their movement against cruelty to animals. She’s just saying that you ought to be comfortable in your own skin rather than in an animal’s.
In an exclusive interview with PETA, Long said:
“When I became a mother, I started to really understand the importance of all living creatures in a way that I didn’t ever think about before. And I’ve realized how important it is that we really take responsibility for … treating animals with love and care just like we would any human being. There’s no difference, in my opinion, between fur and slavery or the Holocaust. It’s just that we’re not dealing wth human beings, we’re dealing with animals, but it’s still a living thing.”
“In being a responsible adult and really understanding what happens for one fur coat and how many animals are killed and slaughtered for one fur coat, it just isn’t worth it to me,” the 38-year-old star added.
Well, now if she were to pose LIVE on the subway — rather than as a badly photoshopped image in a print magazine — her message would have reached a much wider audience… and if it’s NYC subway, to at least 5 million people on a typical weekday.

Oscar-winning Hollywood star Halle Berry is auctioning off a unique, hand-carved rose gold cuff Gara Danielle-designed bracelet to show her support for families dealing with the devastating effects of domestic violence.
Proceeds from an online auction at CharityBuzz will be be Donated to the Jenesse Center, a non-profit organization that was founded in 1980 and provides help to victims of domestic violence through support facilities, education and health programs, among others.
“JC is an organization that is very close to my heart,” said Halle Berry, 42. “Their work makes a tremendous difference in the lives of women and children and I am proud to support such a worthy cause by auctioning off this beautiful bracelet.”
Made from 14K rose gold plate over sterling silver, this adjustable cuff bracelet was designed exclusively for Halle Berry to wear in the advertising campaign for her debut fragrance, Halle by Halle Berry. Berry loved the bracelet so much that she decided to keep it for her own collection. The one on auction is an exact replica by Gara Danielle, and only other one in existence, crafted exclusively for this auction to benefit JC.
The auction, which opened on April 15, will close on May 6. At the time of writing (16:00 hrs EST), there are 7 bids, and the current highest bid is $1050. The minimum next bid is $1300.

MTV Reality Show The Hills’ star Audrina Patridge has decided to play angel for animals in the new promotion for Peta (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals).
The Into the Blue 2 star recently debuted her Peta billboard that says “Be an angel for animals. ALWAYS ADOPT. NEVER BUY.”
Patridge says she she knew choosing to adopt from an animal shelter is the only way to ensure that a loving animal will not be killed because there simply aren’t enough good homes.
“I wanted to get involved with Peta because I’ve always been passionate about animals,” the 23-year-old actress told People magazine.
“And I think this is a great way to make people and all my fans aware of all the animals that need a home. And a lot of people go to pet stores and breeders to buy their animals, but you should adopt, so go to an animal shelter and rescue a dog.”
By the way, the cute little pooch in the poster is named Speedy Gonzales, which Patridge rescued herself. The picture is mounted on a huge billboard on Beverly Boulevard in LA.

Fashion designer-author-model-NBA wife Jackie Christie is set to launch her new clothing line ‘Colored Girl’ on May 9.
The ’semi-fashion’ line is said to introduce eco-friendly organic 100 per cent organic cotton T-shirts and accessories initially, but will be followed up with a ‘cool’ denim collection.
“I design with my heart and emotions, whatever I am feeling. I start there and I move with the vibe, not against it,” said Christie. So there ought to be some motivation to be doing that? I’ll not be surprised if it’s coming from her dedicated husband NBA superstar Doug Christie and their infinite love foundation.
Incidentally, the proceeds from her clothing line as well as her new book (Proud to Be a Colored Girl) will go to support single mothers and impoverished families worldwide.
“There are so many causes I’m involved with my true mission in life is to lend support to the underprivileged, and suffering. To try to bring about positive change in not just the world, but also the environment. To be honest it is very difficult to narrow it down to just one cause,” explained Jackie Christie.
Colored Girl line-up is said to be available initially online (jackiechristie.com) and in Seattle, LA and Atlanta stores, but it will be a limited edition. Why so?
Jackie says this has been done deliberately to ensure that women will come together more to get her pieces if her designs are not widely available at first.
Something like the demand-supply game, I’d guess.
