Justin Bieber is getting the word out about adopting instead of buying your next pet in an ad from PETA. The campaign features Bieber with the tag “Animals Can Make U Smile,”  and the teen appears in a PSA promoting adoption over breeders and pet stores.

“I really encourage going out to an animal shelter or a place where you can get a dog that has been abandoned or doesn’t have a home,” explains Justin. “My Dad and I used to go and hang out (at shelters) just go and visit the different animals and stuff.”

Animal shelters around the country are overflowing with lovable pets who don’t get adopted but instead end up euthanized.

Now if we can only encourage Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas to stop buying from breeders.

See the public service video below where Justin talks about his own adopted dog!

Actress Demi Lovato has been outspoken about the effects bullying can have on a person. The Sonny With A Chance star has spoken about her past experiences as a target of the emotional and verbal abuse. She has made a public service announcement (see it here) to educate and inform how isolating and devastating the aggressive act can be.

The 17 year old Disney star has joined teensagainstbullying.org in part because she is inspired by her younger sister, 8 year old Madison De La Garza, who stars on Desperate Housewives. Lovato wants to keep her sister’s self esteem positive as she grows up.

“She’s getting to that age where she could start becoming insecure,” Lovato says. “I want to be able to help other girls around her age come into their own with a strong confidence in their skin, their size, who they are and everything about themselves.”

Lovato, who quit public school when she was younger, was home-schooled because of the pressure from bullies.

“Bullying is a very serious thing to me, I’ve witnessed it first hand — I was bullied myself when I was 12,” she says.

Demi is comfortable being a role model and using her fame to help others through what can be a really rough time in their lives. Just one more reason to adore Demi!

Daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Bristol Palin makes her acting debut, playing herself as she welcomes Amy (Shailene Woodley) to a music camp for teen moms on an upcoming episode of “The Secret Life of The American Teenager”, which will air on July 5.

The 19 year-old teen mom did a pretty good job. Everybody’s saying Bristol can’t act, but we can’t be too harsh on her. She is not an actress! Bristol did improve a lot from her teen pregnancy PSA (watch video here) to her role in the show. Congrats Bristol!!

Twilight star Kristen Stewart found herself in hot water this week for her comment to British Elle regarding how she feels with photographers documenting her every move. In her original quote to the mag, the actress said:

“All you see is an actor or a celebrity lit up by a flash,” she said in an interview with British Elle. “It’s so…the photos are so…I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time I can’t handle it…It’s f—ed. I never expected that this would be my life.”

Stewart realized the analogy was over the top has offered up an apology for her ill-thought out wording.

“I really made an enormous mistake – clearly and obviously and I’m really sorry about my choice of words.  I’ve made stupid remarks before, and I’ve always reasoned: ‘Whatever. They can think what they want,’ ” she says.  But in this instance, the Los Angeles-born actress feels compelled to address the situation. ” ‘Violated’ definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought,” she notes.

In the 2004 film Speak, Stewart, who portrayed a rape victim, acknowledges that what she said has serious repercussions and that sexual assault should not be spoken of lightly.

“People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake,” says Stewart.

I’m glad she stepped up to the plate and admitted that she used a terrible analogy for her personal feelings. Her hatred of the paparazzi is duly noted and she needs to learn to deal with it (it’s not going to go away no matter how hard she wishes it would.)

I like Stewart and hope she continues to speak her mind. Even though this was not the smartest thing she could have said, I do want her to continue to talk openly and share her opinions and point of view. So many other actresses have the exact same answer for every reporter – you can tell it has been rehearsed repeatedly. Kristen gives you an uncensored version and a true sense of her self in each interview. Very rare these days.
