“Let Vegetarianism Grow on You” says Lara Dutta, Bollywood star and ex-Miss Universe (2000), clad in nothing but lettuce leaves in a new PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) ad.
“Even seemingly small choices can have a big impact on our health, our community and the world around us”, the beautiful UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador said.
“Going vegetarian is one of the easiest ways to improve our health, help countless animals and protect the Earth,” Dutta added.
A statement on PETAIndia’s website said:
Why is leaving meat off your plate such a recipe for achievement? Vegetarian foods are naturally low in fat and cholesterol but high in nutrients, so you will never be weighed down when you need to be on the go.
And because vegetarian diets work well for long-term weight loss, it’s no surprise that vegetarians are generally leaner and trimmer than meat-eaters. Going vegetarian also reduces your risk for heart disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer.
The 32-year-old star shot for PETA wearing a Gavin Miguel dress made of lettuce leaves and other vegetables.

Felicity Huffman, the not-so-desperate star of ABC’s Desperate Housewives, is the 2010 ambassador for Lee National Denim Day, a major single-day fundraiser for breast cancer.
Huffman, whose character Lynette Scavo has battled cancer on the show, will appear in a new public service campaign that encourages people to wear their jeans on October 8, in exchange for a $5 donation to support crucial breast cancer research and support services. The proceeds will benefit the women’s cancer programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).
“I have six sisters and two beautiful daughters—that’s eight women who mean the world to me,” said Huffman, 47.
“I support EIF and Lee National Denim Day because they fund programs that are making huge strides in breast cancer research and support. When everyone donates $5 each, we are able to raise millions in a single day. It’s about coming together to find a solution.”
Liz Cahill, VP of marketing and communications for Lee Jeans, said: “She [Huffman] is such a passionate supporter for our work with the Women’s Cancer Programs of EIF and our new partnership with Cancer Support Community. This year, Denim Day donations will not only help to fund valuable research initiatives; they’ll also help support cancer patients and their families, which is an incredibly important part of fighting this disease.”
The program has raised over $80 million to fight breast cancer since its inception in 1996. Learn more and hear a personal message from Felicity here (denimday.com).

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.
