Pierce Brosnan Helps Fix Animal Homelessness

Pierce Brosnan doesn’t need James Bond–esque gadgets to end animal homelessness—just a
paintbrush.
Pierce painted a charming portrait of his rescued animals, dog Shilo and cat
Coco, to serve as the artwork for California’s new “Spay & Neuter Saves Lives” license
plates. The plates are now
being delivered, so soon California drivers will see this important reminder:

 SPAY AND NEUTER SAVES LIVES

The
standard plates cost $50, $40 of which goes directly to multiple spay/neuter
initiatives across the state. 

In
other celebrity news:

• The number of
  people who credit Paul
  McCartney with helping them see
  the “veggie” light just keeps growing. Mark Ronson—Paul’s producer for his latest album, New—told news sources that after eating
  vegetarian with Paul during their marathon recording sessions, he realized that
  he genuinely liked the food. He added, “You have more energy, which you
  can see every day in Paul, he’s so driven.” And the numbers will likely
  keep increasing: Paul is famous for supplying free vegetarian food to all the people who
  help out with his video shoots, recording sessions, and tours.

• When
  animal-friendly stars are being honored for their achievements, they often make
  sure to use the platform to get more attention for animal rights. And one of
  Major League Baseball’s most compassionate players is up for the game’s highest
  honor. Our friend Chase
  Utley is in the running for the Roberto Clemente Award, owing to his fantastic
  season and all-around awesomeness. Everyone who takes a moment to vote for Chase—and therefore animals—will be entered to win a trip to a 2013 World Series
  game. 

• Just when you thought
  you couldn’t love the Clintons any more—what
  with Bill’s primarily
  vegan diet and Hillary’s and Chelsea’s
  well-known appreciation for vegan foods—now the Clinton Global
  Initiative has set its sights on protecting Africa’s wild elephants from poaching. Hillary has announced a new $80 million global
  effort to end illegal ivory trafficking and save the dwindling elephant
  population.
