Emma Roberts and Evan Peters Adopt a Dog

It’s
a girl for Emma Roberts
and Evan Peters! After the couple adopted a beautiful dog named Audrey Hepburn, PETA sent the
trio a basket filled with toys, treats, and our “Always Root for the Underdog” tees.

In other celeb news, Alicia Silverstone wants to see animal
abusers pay. So when she learned that no charges have been filed against the
operators of Global
Captive Breeders, LLC, even though authorities
seized more than 18,000 rats and 600 reptiles from deplorable conditions in the
facility, she swung into action—joining PETA pal
Jenna Dewan Tatum—and urging fans through her website and
Twitter accounts to add
their names to PETA’s petition calling on the
Riverside County, California, district attorney to file felony cruelty charges
against the people who left animals to suffer without food, water, or
veterinary care; allowed their cages to flood; and slammed them against hard surfaces in attempts to
kill them. And considering Alicia’s
staunch animal advocacy, this likely won’t be the last that the D.A. hears from
her.

Many
other celebs joined Alicia this week and spread animal-friendly messages
throughout the Twitterverse:

Elsewhere
in Hollywood:

• Lea Michele will be writing her first book, Brunette Ambition, about how she went from
  “normal Bronx-born schoolgirl” to a star of one of the highest-rated shows on television. As Lea walks fans
  through her life, we’re sure that her animal advocacy will play a starring role
  in her narrative.
• Ricky Gervais didn’t mince words
  when GQ asked him about his
  work to end animal suffering: “When everyone asked, ‘What ambition have
  you got?’ I could never think of one. That’s the only thing I could think of,
  that I’d want my life to be: just my house, but I open the back doors and it’s like
  a f****** Disney cartoon. I want f****** muskrats and beavers and horses and
  three-legged wolves and blind bears. I wouldn’t want for anything else. My life
  now, with every endangered or hurt animal saved.”
• As
  Arrested Development prepares its return,
  its stars have been giving interviews left and right. And Portia de Rossi has been taking the
  opportunity to talk up all the benefits of vegan eating, such as weight loss,
  improved health, and, of course, showing respect for animals. “I really
  love animals and I don’t want to be a part of harming them in any way,” she
  told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
