KELLAN LUTZ STARS IN NEW PETA AD

from looktothestars.org:

Sexy Twilight star Kellan Lutz is starring in a new PETA ad with his adorable rescued dog Kola to tell fans, ‘Adopt, Don’t Buy.”

“It’s our job to take [animals] under our wing and take care of them and give them a place to live,” Kellan explains, referencing the more than 7 million dogs and cats that are left at animal shelters in the U.S., many of whom are euthanized for lack of finding a good home.

“I went to numerous animal shelters and I saw this dog in the corner, she was in a cage with a bigger dog, she was scared…you can feel the pain that they go through,” Kellan says of adopting Kola, “I just looked in her eyes and knew she was just for me.”

BILLY BURKE IN IMAGE FROM “ECLIPSE” SET

Another picture from the set of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is floating around the Internet and features Billy Burke dressed in a sport coat, button-down shirt, and a pair of jeans.  Unless he’s got a hot date with Sue Clearwater that we don’t know about,  it looks like it’s graduation day for Forks High School.

I absolutely loved the “Robert Is Bothered” featuring Robert on Jimmy Fallon last night!  I had hoped that he would do something like that when I heard that he’d be on the show and I was thrilled when some of the stills of them in the tree made their way online yesterday afternoon.  It’s great that he has such a great sense of humor about it.

As always, I love Peter Facinelli.  He really understands what it means to give back.  He’s not just all talk and I think that he sets an outstanding example for his children.  Along the same lines, kudos to Kellan for his work with animals.  There are so many animals in shelters waiting for a home and, sadly, most of them are euthanized because the shelters don’t have the space or money to keep all of the animals until they are adopted.  I am so grateful for the no-kill shelter in my town that utilizes foster families and holds adoption fairs!
