Kristen Bell has recently teamed up with the Humane Society to promote a program that will raise money for special needs pets.

Are treehuggers out to save the Earth to help everyone who inhabits it? Or will they take everything for themselves and tie-dye it?

Stephen Colbert pokes fun of environmentalists in this clip from his segment of On Topic: The Environment–Wimpy Treehuggers and Dirty Hippies from The Colbert Report.

He makes hypocrites out of a group of people rebuilding Noah’s ark to raise awareness about global warming, saying, “For a bunch of environmentalists, they’re sure cutting down a lot of trees.”

Freegans–those who eat leftover from the garbage–are not spared as well as the organic food industry.

“I’ve always been against organic foods. If I wanted to ingest something a hippie picked, I would eat an autoharp.”

Russell Simmons will host the New York City premiere of Bold Native, a fiction film about the animal rights group Animal Liberation Front.

The combination of film screening and press event is Monday July 26 at 6 p.m. at Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue (at 2nd Street), in New York City. The film begins at 7 p.m and doors will be open to the press at 6 p.m.

Bold Native tells the fictional story of an ALF member wanted by the government for domestic terrorism and his CEO father trying to find him before law enforcement does. Other story lines in the movie include an activist campaigning for better treatment of farm animals.

“We need more creative, fun, impassioned and entertaining movies like Bold Native to drive the important message of animal rights to the masses,” Simmons, who will be available for interviews and photos during the screening at 6:15 p.m., said.

The trailer for Bold Native can be viewed below.

An investigation is ongoing and the two could face up to 2 years in jail for animal cruelty. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time humans have used animals in an atrocious way to get attention.

Two years ago Chrissie Hynde met JP Jones at an art party in London. Jones suggested the two collaborate in songwriting together which led Hynde to do something she hasn’t done in decades–form a brand new band, Chrissie, JP Jones & the Fairground Boys.

Now the pair is embarking on another collaboration. They plan to launch a vegan clothing line in the fall, according to Spin Magazine.

No other details were revealed in the interview, but let’s hope that between the two of them, creative, ethical and possibly even professional attire for both sexes will be available to those with the highest clothing standards.

A performance of Chrissie and JP singing “If You Let Me,” can be viewed above.

Jonathan Mann ‘s video was chosen by Steve Jobs for the tune, “The iPhone Antenna Song,” to be played at a conference where Jobs addressed the problem of the iphone 4 dropping calls.

The 28-year old vegan routinely writes songs for people and events and his prices can range from $100-$500 or more.

Mann has an interview with Time Magazine on his career.

Are there any topics you would never consider writing a song about?
I wouldn’t write something that was overtly, blatantly, mean… I’m a vegan, so I also wouldn’t write a song about meat or meat consumption.
