Diane Keaton makes time for community activism in between raising children and reciting lines on screen. These are just as equally important as her acting, as she told MSNBC her outside interests were included as goals for her future career.

“I’m on the board of the Los Angeles Conservancy. I care about buildings and I care about restoring buildings and I care about protecting buildings from being torn down. I’m an animal advocate. I’m on the board of the Helen Woodward Animal Center, which is down in San Diego, a leading proponent of the no-kill situation for dogs and pets and people, adopt a dog, you know.”

The Los Angeles Conservancy has worked to defend some of the historic areas as LA designated through HPOZ, or Historic Preservation Overlay Zones. At times, some residents have fought HPOZ, stating it hurts their ability to make a building more eco-friendly, but according to the Conservancy, just the opposite is true.

“We’ve all seen how drastic alterations, teardowns, and McMansions can destroy a historic neighborhood’s unique character.”

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland shares her thoughts with Peta2 on animal testing, dissection and adoption.

“I feel like companies that still test on animals should either be shut-down or all just arrested because there are companies that don’t test on animals. If there’s one company that doesn’t do it and 5 that do, I don’t understand why those 5 can’t follow the same path as that one.”

The American Anti-Vivisection Society has a page that lists companies that are cruelty-free, where you may look up some popular brands you may use, such as Burt’s Bees, Giovanni Cosmetics and Alba Botanica.

Kellan Lutz

Eclipse hottie Kellan Lutz received a Vh1 Do Something award during the ceremony that was broadcasted live Monday night. The awards are meant to recognize people committed to social change.

Lutz was honored with the Do Something for the Animals award for his PETA ad encouraging people to adopt versus buy a pet.

Interacting with his canine co-star for the photo shoot probably came quite naturally, as Lutz claims he was a genuine Dr. Doolittle and had great conversation with the animals as a kid.

“I used to think I was Dr. Doolittle, or Kellan Doolittle,” he said. “I used to think I could talk to the animals because … my older brothers would pick on me and I had no friends because we moved around a lot.”
