Ricky Gervias Named PETA’s Person of the Year
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Kind Acts, Features,
Ricky Gervais has been named PETA's Person of the Year.
Animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) - has bestowed its annual honor upon the British comedian for his staunch support of animal welfare on his humorous Twitter account, which is followed by over five million loyal fans.
"Ricky Gervais makes sure that animals have their say, tweet, growl or roar on Twitter. He finds humor in most things, but cruelty to animals isn't one of them. As he says himself, 'Animals are not here for us to do as we please with. We are not their superiors, we are their equals. We are their family. Be kind to them,'" PETA's managing director Ingrid E. Newkirk said in a statement.
The 52-year-old star is a well-documented animal lover, often sharing funny pictures of furry creatures such as cats and dogs with his followers, and he has also used his considerable social media influence to promote the ethical treatment of animals. In one tongue-in-cheek tweet, the comic wrote, "We should free laboratory animals and only test cosmetics on internet trolls. They'd get the attention they crave and they'd look nicer."

Nicole Kidman felt her life was "empty" after she won an Oscar.
The 46-year-old actress picked up the Best Actress prize for her role in 2002 movie The Hours and though she was delighted to receive the prestigious accolade, it magnified the struggles in her personal life following her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2001.
"[Winning an Oscar] can show you the emptiness of your own life, which is kind of what it showed me. I was having professional success and my personal life was struggling," Nicole - who has adopted children Isabella, 20, and Conor, 18, with Tom - told Australia's Harper's Bazaar magazine.
These days, the Grace of Monaco actress is happily married to country singer Keith Urban and she says their quiet life in Tennessee with daughters Sunday, five, and Faith, two, means she much prefers to take on smaller movie roles: "I'm not carrying the whole film, and it's not six to seven months' work like Moulin Rouge! I get to come for three weeks and then go home."

Jared Leto led a minute's silence at the MTV EMAs for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
The rocker - whose band 30 Seconds To Mars won the award for Best Alternative act - asked for the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam to be quiet for 60 seconds in remembrance of the estimated 10,000 people killed by the devastating storm which swept across the islands on Friday.
"If we can be part of the solution rather than the problem then that's a wonderful thing and there's a terrible tragedy just affected a great number of people, many people have died, many people are displaced and they are in turmoil right now. So as we celebrate in one part of the world its completely legitimate and appropriate to send an acknowledgement their way. We're in a very fortunate situation right now and the tables can be turned very quickly."
When asked if there should be a benefit for those affected, he added, "I'm not in charge of anything, but if I had my way of course. You help if you can. Obviously we are fortunate to be here and not in some incredible giant storm that's gonna rip our houses and lives away from us. It's nice when people do that, it's solidarity."
Chelsea Handler Mocks Reese Witherspoon’s Drunken Arrest

Chelsea Handler mocked Reese Witherspoon's drunken arrest last night.
The chat show host took the opportunity to tease her good friend as she presented the Legally Blonde actress with an award at the ELLE Women In Hollywood 2013 ceremony, joking about her infamous disorderly conduct arrest video. The footage, which leaked online in April, saw Reese verbally insult a policeman who arrested her husband Jim Toth on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) in Atlanta, Georgia.
"'Personally, as a true friend, my favorite project of hers was an overlooked short film that she made earlier this year. She plays a very inebriated housewife defending her inebriated husband ... And if you haven't seen it, you can go on YouTube," Chelsea said.
Reese took the joke well and was seen doubled over laughing in her seat as good sport Jim chuckled next to her. There were clearly no hard feelings between the pair as Reese posed next to Chelsea for a photo opportunity at the swanky banquet held at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills.

Jennifer Lawrence and Harvey Weinstein honored Bill Clinton at the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. At the ceremony in Los Angeles last night, the Silver Linings Playbook star was joined by the famed film producer as they introduced the former US president for his Advocate For Change Award.
Drew Barrymore was hosting the yearly event, which recognizes the achievements of various branches of the media who represent the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and issues important to them.
Jennifer slipped up when saying the former commander in chief's name, although the honoree was in good spirits. "I don't know why Harvey made Jennifer do that. She really was like 2-years-old when I became president. I met her backstage and she looked like she was touring the Museum of Natural History," he joked.
Elsewhere at the star-studded bash, the Stephen F. Kolzak Award was presented to Steve Warren by Leonardo DiCaprio and Charlize Theron, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower was given the prize for Outstanding Film - Wide Release.

Selena Gomez will not be attending the American Music Awards because her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber is performing. Justin is set to perform at the ceremony on Sunday, and Selena is not going to make an appearance at the prestigious event in Los Angeles because the pain of their recent split is just too fresh.
"Selena has never been confirmed to be at the show," a representative said. She is also not nominated for any prizes at the ceremony, unlike Justin who is up for three awards, including the highly coveted Artist of the Year accolade.
Selena and Justin were believed to have held crisis talks last weekend to discuss where their relationship was going after their split was confirmed last week. "I saw Selena go into the hotel around 5:40 pm and not even three hours later, Justin went in. I saw him leave around 11 pm. It's not just over for Justin and Selena, whatever happens they have a lot to talk about. They're both being a bit cagey and stubborn but they're desperate to see one another. This isn't new for them; they often have a tumultuous relationship. We all expect them to work it out," a source said.
