Alicia Silverstone

Alicia Silverstone is endorsing an eco-friendly sex toy.

The Leaf is a vibrator that resembles the plant it was named after. It gets the Clueless vegan actress’ seal of approval for its Phthalate-free silicone and recycled material packaging.

“OK, ladies – sometimes it’s nice to have a little extra…something…when you’re getting it on (solo, with your partner…whatever floats your boat)” Silverstone said. “There is one personal massager company that’s actually Kinder than all the rest.”

Annie Ilonzeh Of “Arrow” PETA Angel For Circus Elephants (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 22nd, 2012 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Videos.

Annie Ilonzeh has gone from being one of Charlie’s Angels to an angel for circus animals.

The actress who stars in the new CW series Arrow, has filmed a PSA for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals on how elephants are treated at some circuses.

“[Elephants] are super-emotional creatures, and to have that calf stripped of their mom by humans and abused is the most painful thing to see,” Annie says. “And I feel like if the public were a lot more knowledgeable about the way that they were being trained, where it’s not on a rewards system, it’s on a punishment system, then circuses would not exist—and they should not exist.”

Watch the clip for the full feature with Annie.
