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

Now a days, there is a lot of buzz surrounding green hollywood. So, who really is just playing the green card for the extra boost in image?

Which celebrities really have both feet on the green carpet? These are the questions VH1 seeks to answer in it’s new show “Top 20 Celebs Gone Good” which is set to premiere Thursday November 19th at 8pm. 

Hilary Duff is a green celeb. She is active with Return To Freedom, a sanctuary for Wild Horses.

Helping Vh1 in determining the “green goodness” is the non-profit organization DoSomething.org, the nation’s largest not-for-profit for young people and cause. There has never been a better time in American history for people to get involved and do something-whether its volunteering or helping the environment. 

You can even get some great ideas from our Hollywood heros. Visit CelebsGoneGood.VH1.com or CelebsGoneGood.com, check out who has made the cut then do some research to see how these starlets are trying to save our planet.

Not that we need to name drop but some of the celebs gone good include:

• Chris Rock
• Selena Gomez
• Matt Damon
• The Jonas Brothers
• Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

The Jo' Bros send an SOS to the world.

Be sure to tune in on November 19th, 8pm ET/PT  and do something good after you see this Vh1 special.

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

Bono really reminds us that we are all ONE and that really rocks our Jaclynsphere.
