We told you how Alicia Silverstone and several other celebrities had signed a letter addressed to Nobu, telling the restaurants to take endangered bluefin tuna off the menu.

Some British celebrities have gotten in on the act and created this ad to protest the consumption of the fish.

Actresses Greta Scacchi, Emilia Fox and writer Terry Gilliam bare all.

Terry is such a champ, standing there patiently while the fish gets love from Greta and Emilia.

Speaking of fish, what’s going on with this one? It isn’t bluefin. Possibly cod? And either the guy’s a complete plastic fake (but who in Hollywood isn’t) or he’s photoshopped himself in there to make his friends think two hot chicks are macking on him.

The bluefin protest is perfectly timed with the release of End of the Line, which warns that overfishing could lead to the end of seafood by 2048.

Elizabeth Berkley Is A Sustainable, Edible Treat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green.

When the words “edible” and “clothing” are together in a sentence, it usually becomes a cough, cough, adult conversation.

But Treehugger.com says food + clothing = sustainability.

Yes, after you spend a night on the town in your Romain leaf bra, you can nibble on wholesome greens as a midnight snack. Sorta.

Treehugger’s slideshow featuring sustainable, edible clothing and lists none other than the original Lettuce Lady, Elizabeth Berkley.

“Last, and certainly not least is Elizabeth Berkley’s cabbage dress, also done as PETA’s original Lettuce Lady. Berkley sent the ad to restaurants asking them to beef up their vegetarian selections, and Berkley’s dress is one of the few featured here that could probably be easily worn to a ball or other event and just as easily recycled on the compost pile.”

Or toss some raspberry vinaigrette on her and…get your serving of veggies, of course.

Other sustainable, edible outfits Treehugger features are a licorice dress and several chocolate outfits.

The Last House on the Left premiere held in Los Angles

If vegan ice cream is the baddest, then coconut vegan ice cream is superbad!

Martha MacIsaac, who played the love interest of Michael Cera in Superbad, has confessed to some serious love for vegan coconut ice cream.

“The most delicious ice cream of all time,” she said.

Could Martha’s spoon be permanently stuck in a carton of Purely Decadent Vegan Ice Cream made with coconut milk?

There are numerous flavors to choose from, including Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl, Coconut, Cookie Dough, Mint Chip, Mocha Almond Fudge, Passionate Mango, and Vanilla Bean.

Martha would love to have a night alone with British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.

“I would want to invite a really great cook. So, maybe I would have Jamie Oliver to cook a nice vegetarian meal and teach me as he cooked.”

Shampoo Commercial Made Geneva Cruz Go Veg

Geneva Cruz is Philippine’s Sexiest Vegetarian. PETA says so.

Of course, don’t take PETA’s word for it. Maxim agrees too, as this lady graced the cover not long ago.

What makes Geneva so beautiful inside and out is her love for animals. A vegetarian since 15 who’s now a vegan, Geneva made the switch after filming a shampoo commercial where she interacted with animals.

“We were at a place in Palawan where the animals could roam free! Free! And all I had to so was to feed one of them and say ‘Natural!’ We’d repeat that for each take,” Geneva said.

“I think you help save a lot of lives if you are a vegetarian. For me, a vegan diet is not about dieting, it’s about loving all living things,” she added.

Sienna Miller Takes Up Gardening, Dumps Men: Sorry Guys

Sienna Miller Presents Boss Orange Fragrance

Balthazar Getty begone!

Sienna Miller has a new love in her life and it’s gardening.

The 27-year old actress who has just finished filming GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, has been doing nothing but hoeing these days.

“It’s all about my veggies,” Sienna said. “Forget men, parties and jet-setting!”

“I have got a cottage and a garden at home in London and I’m growing vegetables for the first time in my life. I can’t wait to get back to my garden.”

The source article says Sienna is an “avowed vegetarian,” but we haven’t uncovered any other sources saying she is.

However, home grown veggies is certainly the start of a healthier body and sustainable planet. There’s no fuel involved in transporting those tomatoes to the kitchen!

Of course, we’d gladly take Sienna into the veg club. Do you think she’ll join us? Is she already a secret member?

Screening Of Home At Stella McCartneys Store - Arrivals

The screening of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Home went well at Stella McCartney‘s West Hollywood store.

Several eco-stars were there for the event, including Emily Deschanel, who gave the following advice for being greener:

“Reusing is as important as recycling. Don’t forget to bring your own bag when shopping. Keep one in the car. Buy natural products. I’m picking up an amazing belt of Stella’s that I bought. It’s non-leather. The tanning process is terrible for the environment. There are so many things to do…”

Of course we know our gal Emily’s vegan, which does more for the environment than taking all the cars off the road! Wonder why she didn’t bring it up?

Guests were served organic vegan food and sipped on organic Stella wine while watching the film.

If you weren’t on the Stella Home screening invite list (we know, it sucks), you can host a screening in your own home.

From now until June 14th, you can view the entire Home documentary from your computer.

It’s too beautiful for words, so all we can say is go “full screen” mode when watching!

Premiere Of Tetro - Arrivals

Alicia Silverstone is just one of the celebrities that have written to Nobu restaurants, saying they can no longer dine at the establishment because Nobu continues to serve endangered bluefin tuna.

Jemima Khan, Laura Bailey, Charlize Theron, Zac Goldsmith, Sting and Trudie Styler have all added their signatures to the letter.

“The possibility that the magnificent bluefin tuna, one of the fastest creatures on the planet, could be extinct in as little as four years is a tragedy. Continuing to serve bluefin leaves Nobu vulnerable to public criticism and lagging behind Moshi Moshi, Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Itsu and numerous others,” they wrote.

If Gordon Ramsay has stopped serving it in his restaurants, you know Nobu’s got to be living in the dark ages in terms of ethical eating.

The celebrities are asking that bluefin tuna be removed completely from Nobu’s menu.

A spokesperson for Nobu made this statement:

“The consumption of this fish is a cultural institution in Japan and there is still an enormous demand for this delicacy at all our restaurants. In the specific case of the menus at our London restaurants it should be noted that the statement that informs diners that the tuna served is Bluefin was included at the behest of Greenpeace, with whom we have continual dialogue. We are also currently looking at Australian farm-raised tuna as an alternative.”

Replacing one endangered fish with another one that will, ultimately, become threatened if people continue to consume it. Sounds fishy.

How about getting the smell out completely and taking all fish off the menu?
