| Naked Alicia Silverstone Ad Banned in Houston
Actress Alicia Silverstone won't be baring all in Houston, Texas anytime soon - her revealing new People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) TV ad has been pulled. A local cable provider planned to launch the new commercial, in which the star coos about vegetarianism, on Wednesday but the ad was pulled. Comcast Cable bosses banned the spot because Silverstone is naked, and they don't want to upset prudish viewers in Texas. PETA chose to debut Silverstone's new ad in Texas because the state's leading cities "repeatedly rank among the least healthy in America." The captivating commercial was directed by Dave Meyers, who has directed more than 180 music videos, including rapper Missy Elliott's "Work It" and "Lose Control."

Everywhere we turn, we are bombarded with celebrity endorsements for candidates or celebrities using their status and popularity to champion a cause. The latest installment in the endorsement series is actress Alicia Silverstone posing nude as part of a vegetarian campaign funded by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Such endorsements are bound to alienate fans, although for Silverstone, probably not her male fans. For an artist, political stands are always a risk. Whether I agree with their position or not, I admire them for not putting the dollar first. Sometimes political views blow up in a celebrity's face — such as when the Dixie Chicks made a public condemnation of President George Bush. I often wonder how many voters actually care who a certain actor or musical artist supports.
