• Is Keira Knightley Reaching Out To Rihanna?

  Keira recently filmed an advertisement against domestic violence for the UK charity Women's Aid.  The ad, which will appear on UK television, has been linked to the recent Rihanna/Chris Brown and the resulting public outcry (spearheaded by Miss Oprah Winfrey herself). Jezebel.com says, "The ad is obviously inspired by Rihanna, and tries to get across the message that even a woman who is confident and successful may be experiencing abuse at home" While we agree with the latter half of that statement, we're not sure that the PSA is "obviously" connected to Rihanna at all. See for yourself after the jump.   Read More... Posted Apr 02 2009, 03:35 PM by Olivia Purnell with | with no comments Filed under: PSAs, abuse, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Keira Knightley, UK

• Harrison Ford Waxes His Chest To Save The Rainforest

  Damn, we love a celebrity who takes up a cause, preferably in commercial form (who could forget that voting PSA with more movie stars than the Vanity Fair oscar after-party? We sure haven't).  Recently, Harrison Ford stepped up to take one for the "save the rainforest" team and wax his chest for conservation.org.  We can't get enough.  We've been rewinding our dvr and watching it over and over again for like ten minutes now.  Take a look while we call our roommate in here to watch with us...

• Blast From The Past: Singing Pills Say "We're Not Candy"

  Maybe it was looking at the various medications strewn about our bathroom (all prescribed, of course) or perhaps it was watching Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew, but we haven't been able to get the "We're Not Candy" PSA from the 80's about the dangers of kids mistakenly ingesting pills out of out heads all day. You remember that one? With the singing pills? We are dangerous / We could make you delirious / You should have a healthy fear of us... No? Well, if not, here it is. Read More...
