Bono, Leo, And Pam….8 Celebs And Their Causes

Posted by | Posted in Watch Gossip Girl Episodes | Posted on 25-01-2010

Are you having a difficult time remembering if Leo’s cause is the environment or is he a vegan? And can you remember if Sean Penn is against the war or was it just George Bush that Penn was vehemently opposed to? Here is our guide to remembering what causes are covered by which celebrities:

Many of us have a cause that we are extremely passionate about. My cause is animals. Maybe your cause is poverty or the Iraqi war. Many celebrities use their fame to bring awareness to their causes.

There are several celebrities who use their fame and power solely for these causes and they have helped advance those causes more than anything. Are you finding it difficult to keep up with the celebs and their causes lately? Here is a brief guide to help you keep straight your favorite celebrities and their many humanitarian causes.

1. Bono

Bono is most likely the first celebrity that comes to mind when you think of celebrity activists. Bono has been an advocate for debt relief for African nations, as well as an advocate for the education of the uncontrolled spread of AIDS in African nations.

Bono has also taken upon himself to advocate for unfair trade regulations and has met with world leaders like George W. Bush and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin.

Bono’s active support of the plight of third world nations has led to his being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and being named Person of the Year by Time magazine. In 2005 Bono tied together his four most heartfelt causes with the organization he named ‘DATA’ which stands for Debt, AIDS, Trade and Africa.

Bono’s work with Amnesty International has also gained attention. Amnesty International is a human-rights organization which Bono was first exposed to during the production of “The Secret Policeman’s Ball”. It was this production that helped to develop Bono’s passion for political and social causes which he is so immensely involved with today.

Bono’s band U2 has performed in Band Aid and Live Aid, two concert projects which raised money for the Feed the World campaign. On a controversial note, Bono has been reported as publicly berating other celebrity philanthropists such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie saying they’re in it as advocates only to prove their own self worth to the world.

Perhaps Bono is most commercially known for his “Red” campaign in which retailers such as The Gap participated in. If you have seen the “Desi(red)” shirts at The Gap, this is part of Bono’s “Red” campaign and a portion of the money goes toward world hunger and poverty through The Global Fund.

2. Leonardo DiCaprio

Environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio uses his fame and influence to bring attention and support to a different cause than many celebrities; the cause of global warming and the environment.

DiCaprio opened the Leonardo DiCaprio e-Activism Center and the David Family Environmental Action Center in Santa Monica, California. The e-Activism Center is open to the public four days each week and is designed to educate and provide resources for the general public to become more environmentally aware.

3. Sean Penn

Sean Penn is extremely passionate about politics and has been an ongoing and consistent advocate against the war in Iraq. Called “An Activist for Peace” Sean Penn also opposes the death penalty and has participated in advocating against this as well.

During the Bush administration, Sean Penn openly criticized the President for his deconstruction of civil liberties. Penn was of course referring to the War on Terror in Iraq.

4. Michael J. Fox

Best known for his role as Alex Keaton in the 80s hit sitcom “Family Ties” or his role as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future movies, Michael J. Fox has stolen the heart of the nation.

Regardless of how you remember him, Michael J. Fox has been actively supporting stem-cell research through his Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. He was diagnosed with the disease in 1991 and disclosed his condition to the public and his adoring fans in 1998. To date, Michael J. Fox has funded almost $150 million for research for more advanced Parkinson’s treatments.

5. Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere has been a voice for animal rights in her fresh and young career. Because of her work in the animal activism realm, Hayden was awarded the Compassion in Action Award by PETA.

Panettiere is passionately opposed to the countless thousands of whales slaughtered by the Japanese every year. She is also trying to save dolphins from Japanese slaughter. She has gone as far as to blame the United States for not taking a stance against the Japanese slaughtering of the whales because Japan is one of our biggest allies on the war against terror.

Hayden is now celebrity spokesperson for the Save the Whales Again campaign. Who knows, maybe we will see Panettiere on the next season of Animal Planet’s Whale Wars. Ironically, most recently Hayden Panettiere has launched an ad campaign with Dooney & Burke for a handbag that is made of calf-skin.

PETA says they will take what they can get and are appreciative of her efforts for the whale and dolphin cause. However, Panettiere’s seemingly hypocritical behavior has fans who are animal advocates up in arms over her decision to promote the slaughtering and senseless skinning of calves.

6. George Clooney

George Clooney has become a recent advocate of the horrors and atrocities that are going on in Darfur, Sudan. He headed up the “Save Darfur” rally which was in Washington D.C. last April.

During a trip to the Sudan, Clooney actually was able to get some of the horrors on videotape and is planning to use this footage to document the genocide.

7. Alicia Silverstone

Vegan and animal activist Alicia Silverstone has become one of the most well-known celebrity animal advocates in the past decade. While she might have gotten her stardom from a little movie called “Clueless” as a high-maintenance and materialistic rich girl she most definitely shed that image by letting the world know she is a vegan and is vehemently opposed to animal cruelty.

Silverstone appears in the first-ever nude PETA ad against animal cruelty and promoting vegan eating habits. Silverstone promotes cruelty-free cosmetics and fashion as well. Most notably, Alicia Silverstone oftentimes wears and supports Stella McCartney as a designer who is “Vegetarian Friendly”.

8. Pamela Anderson

Despite your personal opinions of Playboy Playmate, model and sometimes actress Pamela Anderson, she is one of the most involved and most influential celebrity animal activists.

Pamela has sworn off fur and even modeled nude (not a stretch in behavior) for numerous anti-fur ads for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. She has pleaded with Austria’s justice minister to allow and not make illegal animal activism groups in the country of Austria. Most recently, Anderson is taking on the inhumane practice of clubbing baby seals.

Turn Off That Tv!

Posted by | Posted in Watch Gossip Girl Episodes | Posted on 25-01-2010

If you’re serious about losing weight and making the most of your metabolism, then you might want to think about getting to bed a little earlier. According to research, if you don’t get enough sleep this can affect your metabolism and also play havoc with your food choices and exercise patterns. How can this be, you ask??

Lack of sleep has been shown to cause changes in hormone levels in several studies. Cortisol, which is often called the ’stress hormone’, plays a big part in regulating metabolism of sugar, protein, fat, minerals and water. Physical or emotional stress raises cortisol levels, and lack of sleep can also do this. Not only does lack of sleep mess with your cortisol levels, but it can also cause insulin resistance. Since insulin not only controls blood sugar, but also promotes fat storage, extra insulin makes maintaining a healthy weight even tougher.

Even if you ignore the studies, it doesn’t take a genius to realise that when we don’t get enough sleep, it can make us grumpy, teary and generally emotional. What do many people do when they are feeling overly emotional? They reach for a mars bar. Think about it…when you’ve had a bad night’s sleep, your energy takes a nosedive during the day; and it’s very tempting to turn to the chocolate vending machine for a quick sugar fix. The foods we crave the most when we feel low on energy are often sweets or refined carbohydrates with low nutrient density and you guessed it….high fat and sugar content!

My client ‘Carolyn’ discovered this the hard way. For years she struggled with extra kilos that it seemed even a 50 tonne forklift could not shift. It was very frustrating for her to be doing all the right things regarding eating and exercise, yes still being unable to lose weight. But the real problem was that ‘Carolyn’ was stressed to the max. As well as having 3 kids to look after, ‘Carolyn’s’ high-flying career required her to do a gruelling 90 hour week as well as be on-call weekends.

With an average of four hours sleep a night, ‘Carolyn’ was seriously deprived. A little prioritising and a lot of work based around Carolyn’s belief that she ‘must’ be there for everybody else at the expense of her own health was required. Once she began to give to herself and get more sleep, the weight dropped easily. And ‘Carolyn’ dropped off to sleep even more easily!

Similarly, ‘Sophie’ was a sleep-deprived workaholic whose only way to reward herself was by giving herself little culinary treats. With no relationship to speak of and a marriage first and foremost to her work, ‘Sophie’ was on a fast track to a heart attack. She was so exhausted at the end of each evening, that take-away food was always the order of the day. The television became her special friend in the evenings, during which time she would snack on auto-pilot.

‘Sophie’s’ challenge was to step back and see the big picture. She had thought that working hard now and sacrificing her physical health would bring her happiness later on. But in the meantime, she was not enjoying the ‘Now’ at all. ‘Sophie’ believed that working in a highly paid job that did not inspire her would eventually provide her with the life she desired one day in the future. Meanwhile, her current lifestyle was seriously jeopardising her future in more ways than one.

But we’re not just talking about eating more when sleep deprived. For many physically exhausted people, calorie burning decreases, making maintaining a healthy weight even harder. If your extra waking hours are spent in at a desk or computer or in front of the TV, you’re not burning many more calories than when you are asleep.

To add to that, when we’re sleep deprived, we’re often too tired to exercise. Even if we do drag ourselves to the gym, we might workout less intensely than usual. So how much sleep do we actually need? Sleep experts recommend at least eight hours of sleep a night for most of us. Turning off the TV an hour earlier means an hour less munching time. It could also shift your metabolism to make weight loss easier. So make the choice….is it really THAT crucial to stay awake for the latest episode of ‘Gossip Girl’? If you do, you might just find yourself the subject of other people’s gossip about your massive weight gain. Less TV, more sleep. That’s the order of the day.

Antonella Barba: American Idol Sensation

Posted by | Posted in Watch Gossip Girl Episodes | Posted on 25-01-2010

Antonella Barba is currently a contestant on the sixth season of American Idol. At the time of the writing of this article, she is in the top 16.

Barba is 20 years old, was born on November 26, 1986 and is from Point Pleasant, New Jersey. She is a 2004 graduate of Red Bank Catholic High School in Red Bank, New Jersey where she was a member of the school concert choir and a member of the school’s doo-wop group.

In addition to singing, her other musical talents include playing the piano and the violin.

Before appearing on American Idol she was a junior at the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C studying architecture, but has had to temporarily withdraw from school to be in California for the show.

Like Clay Aiken’s fans during season 2 of American Idol who called themselves the Claymates, Antonella’s fans have dubbed themselves the “Fantonellas.”

As she performs each week, she can count on support and votes from her fellow students at college who gather in the college’s University Center to watch the live episodes that feature her. Antonella also has the unwavering support of her parents, two younger sisters, and younger brother.

She hasn’t been without controversy though. First, during Hollywood week tempers flared between Barba and friend Amanda Coluccio (they tried out together.) It started to look a little like the movie “Mean Girls” as Amanda got sick of working on their group performance and instead started hanging out with the male contestants which resulted in Barba getting angry and saying a few “less than complimentary” remarks that the cameras caught and, of course, showed on national television.

Then, several unflattering photos of Barba surfaced on the Internet and were quickly the topic of conversation on websites, in newspapers, on the radio, and on television. The photos that were of Antonella were private photos taken when she was with friends and at parties. The x-rated ones were later found out to be fakes. There has been speculation that an ex-boyfriend first posted the picture.
The American Idol producers officially stated they wouldn’t disqualify Antonella from the competition and the judges came out in her defense, most notably Simon Cowell who said the photos were her private business and that people should leave her alone.

Although Antonella has been singing since she was in 6th grade and did well during her auditions for American Idol, her two performances on the show so far have been weak. She has admitted to being very nervous and will need to get those nerves under control if she wants to continue on the show.

She may be avoiding elimination by a popular website that encourages voters to cast their votes for the contestant they think is the worst one in an effort to sabotage the outcome of the show. Currently, Antonella is their choice.

Her life has certainly changed since she became an American Idol contestant. Last summer she was like any other college student on summer break – working a summer job and hanging out with friends and family. Now she says things are “totally surreal…..I was home for a couple of days (a few weeks ago) and I took my sisters out to lunch….and there were people asking for my autograph.”
