Compassionate celebrities want a little less conversation and a little more action. Somebody alert the Elvis Presley fan club:

• Were there vegetarians in medieval times? There might be at least one in HBO's Game of Thrones, if Peter Dinklage has anything to say about it.
• Sexiest vegetarian Kristen Bell loves bluefin tuna—swimming freely in the ocean, of course.
• Fur won't fly on Delta airlines. They assured us that Eva Longoria's throw is faux.
• Like mother, like dogter. Mom-to-be Alicia Silverstone is already a mom to several rescued dogs, and she encourages everyone to adopt too. Proud pooch parent? You, too, can rock a tee like Alicia's. 
• Ted Danson's new book cheers efforts to combat overfishing and tells everyone how they can help save the oceans.

This past weekend, Pamela Anderson was in Austria with Bill Clinton, Eva Longoria, and Katy Perry for Vienna's annual Life Ball AIDS benefit. But before she wowed the Life Ball crowd in her gold bikini, Pam bared her heart of gold, behind closed doors, to Austria's justice minister, Claudia Bandion-Ortner.

Bandion-Ortner invited Pamela to meet with her after the bombshell's letter urging the minister to stop stifling free speech made front-page news. See, the Austrian police are trying to classify all animal rights groups as "criminals," despite the fact that very few engage in illegal activities. In her letter, Pamela made compelling points against such blanket persecution, noting that the Austrian government seemed to be behaving more like a dictatorship than a democracy. The minister assured Pam that she'd monitor the situation—and that there would be no witch hunt on her watch. Then she stood beside the blonde babe and smiled as staffers snapped away with their cameras.

Pamela and PETA's Dan Mathews then high-tailed it to the Life Ball, where Pam wriggled into her bikini and opened the festivities.

A few days ago, Eva Longoria (of Desperate Housewives fame) was heckled in London—where she was launching the Harrods' Winter Sale—for her nasty habit of draping herself in dead animals. For people who do care about animals, Eva's track-record has been pretty abysmal. In an interview last year, she told Oprah that she can "skin a deer and a pig and a snake - and rabbits," when she was talking about some of the things she learned in her childhood. Sounds like a hell of an education—and it may explain her crappy attitude towards people who try to educate her about the cruelty she's supporting by wearing fur. The New York Post reported the story as follows:

I have to admit that Desperate Housewives is a kind of a good show, but it's always sad when you find out that the villains in TV shows are villains in real life too. Hopefully this experience will give her something to think about.
