Kimberly Wyatt

Former Pussycat Dolls member Kimberly Wyatt has joined a group of celebrities and cosmetics companies that do not test on animals in a campaign with the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV) to end the sale of cosmetics in the European Union that have been tested on animals.

In 2003, the European Union passed a ban on using animals to test cosmetics that began in 2009. A complete ban of the sales of these animal-tested cosmetics is set for 2013, but some officials would like to extend that deadline.

Wyatt also has her own make-up range that is not tested on animals.

“My make-up range BM Beauty is approved free from animal testing by BUAV proving that there is no need to test beauty products on animals. Don’t delay the ban on selling cruel beauty products in the EU any longer. Say NO to Cruel Cosmetics.”

Back in April 2010 when she helped the Postal Service launch a pet adoption awareness stamp series featuring adopted animals, Ellen DeGeneres vowed to make the year even more friendly to shelter animals by donating one million meals to them if enough people bought the stamps.

That goal was reached just before Christmas last year.

“We are thrilled with the success of the campaign and the incredible number of supporters who helped us to achieve this goal,” Halo’s CEO Steve Marton said in a press release. “It’s our mission to make a real difference for pets.”

A total of 100 different shelters benefited from Halo’s and animal lovers’ generosity.

Look, it’s a naked man. No, it’s a PETA ad. No, it’s a prostate and testicular cancer prevention ad.

Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine is posing in UK Cosmo nude in order to bring attention to prostate and testicular cancer and remind men to check for signs and symptoms. The photo shoot, on behalf of the organization Everyman, UK’s prostate and testicular cancer campaign, isn’t something unnatural for Levine, as he claims he’s always naked.

“I often have to be told by the people around me that it’s inappropriate to be as naked as I am,” Levine revealed. “But I live in California, where it’s always warm, so why not.”
