Ellen DeGeneres. She’s the funny face we see on TV, the latest host to join the America Idol franchise and we over at Hollywire had NO IDEA that Ellen DeGeneres is also a VEGAN. As EcoRazzi first reported, an entire section of her website is “dedicated to living the veg life.”

Hollywire.com reports on Green Celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres.

And for those of you that are scratching your heads wondering just what that means, a Vegan is defined as: a strict vegetarian; someone who eats no animal or dairy products at all. Some vegans even exclude the use of animal products in clothing as well.

Vegans like Ellen DeGeneres don't consume or use any animal products.

Being a vegan isn’t the only green action Ellen De Generes has picked up, she supports the green movement a variety of ways. She bought the company Halo, all organic pet food brand and from a social activism stand point, Ellen raised over $10 million for hurricane Katrina victims. She even wants her fans to go green. You can buy “Laugh, Dance, Recycle” shirts from her website to serve as a reminder that going green can be fun.

Ellen DeGeneres is certainly a leading green celebrity. To learn more about Ellen’s vegan lifestyle, visit the Why Go Vegan section of her website by clicking here

The main mission of the night was to restore marriage equality in California in 2010 and celebrate the new launch of the Revenge Is… “All Love Is Equal” tees which are being sold at Kitson. As it turns out Revenge Is… has lots of love to share for both people and our planet.

The "All Love Is Equal" t-shirt by Revenge Is...

The Revenge Is… tees, “are a blend of organic cotton and recycled plastic bottles.” Kitson is adding to the love by committing 25% of “All Love Is Equal” T-shirt sales through December to Love Honor Cherish. Proceeds will go directly toward the expenses associated with the massive state-wide signature drive effort to put the Repeal Prop 8 initiative on the November 2010 ballot.

Glaceau, the company behind mega brands Vitaminwater and Smartwater wants you to hydrate responsibly with their products. They also continually strive to “bring a fresh approach to water” especially by participating in events such as the “Casa Surf Project.”

Jennifer Anniston is a celeb fan of Smartwater.

Described as “a breakthrough in design, surf lifestyle and hotel living”, the Casa Surf Project was a collaborative effort between Roxy, Quiksilver, Glaceau and other companies. Each brand was asked to design a unique hotel room in the La Casa Del Camino hotel located in Laguna Beach. A portion of proceeds from each room will be donated to key charities for the first year.

The Glaceau suite was designed by Karen Struck and Micheal Russell of the firm Planning, Design & Application, Inc.

The Glaceau Suite at the La Casa Del Camino Hotel in Laguna Beach, CA.

The team stated, “Our design inspiration came from two places-the icon for lifestyle water, Glaceau, makers of Smartwater and Vitaminwater, and a historic beach front hotel located in Laguna Beach, The Casa del Camino.  Along with Glaceau’s fitness and health campaign, and the hotel’s oceanside setting, a perfect storm developed!  A spike of athletic energy in a surfer’s haven!”

As if that wasn’t cool enough, all the materials for design had sustainability and green in mind. Even the drapery and bedding were comprised of recycled fibers made from used plastic bottles. Way to go green Glaceau! To see the other suites, check out Casa Surf Project

U2 rocked Los Angeles back in October when they came to the Rose Bowl and performed a stellar show. Celebs in attendance ranged from Twilight cast members Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene to Orlando Bloom and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Bono, lead singer of U2, continues to rock the world not only with his music but also through philinathropy. According to Cause Cast.org, Bono and his wife have aligned their “socially conscious clothing company” Edun with the organization War Child International.

Bono from U2 supports a variety of initiatives to promote world peace and unity.

As their websites explains, “War Child was founded upon a fundamental goal: to advance the cause of peace through investing hope in the lives of children caught up in the horrors of war.”

Bono’s clothing line itself “creates sustainable economic growth and employment opportunities in developing nations.” To learn more about their clothing line, check out http://www.edunonline.com

On Sunday October 25th, Hollywood went Green for the 20th Annual Environmental Media Awards.

Amy Smart is naturally gorgeous at the Environmental Media Awards.

On hand for the honorous occasion were Amy Smart, Sir Richard Branson, Cedric the Entertainer, Kevin McHale from the Fox hit show Glee, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Mraz, Michael Rady from Melrose Place and many other hot names in the entertainment business. 

Michael Rady of Melrose Place gives the Jaclynsphere great tips for going green.

Eight films and television programs were awarded for their outstanding contributions to protect our environment. Winners included Walt Disney Studios Earth, the film The Cove, the show Brothers and Sisters and also the children’s animated Wild About Safety-Timon and Pumbaa: Safety Smart Goes Green.

The Environmental Media Association was founded by Lyn and Norman Lear and Cindy and Alan Horn back in 1989. Their main goal is to “honor film and television productions and individuals that increase public awareness of environmental issues and inspire personal action on these issues.”

With the green movement continuing to receive Hollywood support, we’re sure the EMA founders are proud.

Perhaps PETA’s most popular spokesperson, at least amongst the male crowd, Pamela Anderson is at it again. She has reunited with People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals and this time she is on a crusade to Save the Seals.

While in town for fashion week in her native homeland Canada, Pam swung by the Ontario Legislature in Toronto. According to statistics, Canada is where most of the world’s seal hunting takes place. The European Parliament has deemed seal hunting as “inherently inhumane.” 

As a Canadian, celebrity and human being, Pam obviously agrees that this should stop and she has some star power backing her. Perez Hilton, Jenny Garth and Kelly Osbourne are also involved with the cause.

Ginnifer Goodwin star of HBO’s “Big Love” has a special message this holiday season. With 36 days left between now and Thanksgiving, Ginnifer has aligned with Farm Sanctuary and is serving as the groups official 2009 spokesperson. Together Ginnifer and Farm Sanctuary would like you to Adopt-A-Turkey. 

So what is Farm Sanctuary and just what is the Adopt-A-Turkey campaign? Farm Sanctuary is the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization and the Adopt-A-Turkey campaign serves to “end the misery of commercially-raised turkeys by educating the public about the horrific cruelties endured by these gentle beings by offering a compassionate alternative for Thanksgiving.” 

You don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian to join in on this cause but I’m sure the turkey’s would be thankful if you ate a tofurky this Thanksgiving. To learn more about this cause, check out http://www.adoptaturkey.org

Long before Zac Efron rode in an eco limo, before Hayden Panetttiere wanted to save the Dolphins, Ally Maize-founder of the Green Youth Movement was trying to help teens go green. It certainly doesn’t hurt now that stars Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson have started driving hybrid cars which helps reinforce Ally’s message.

Ally is passionate about the environment and taking a stance towards global warming. She founded the Green Youth Movement as  both a “resource for people seeking information and for those people who want to try to make a difference and help the environment.”
