Naked for the planet: Drew Barrymore



Since her days as a child star, Drew has been known for her compassion towards the little creatures that make this planet special and cute. In fact, one of Drew's first roles was a dog food commercial. During her audition, her doggy co-star dog bit the infant Barrymore. Luckily for the producers, Drew just laughed it off -- instead of suing them for everything they owned.
Since then, Drew has staked out a place as a Hollywood animal lover. She frequently makes the rounds promoting animal rescue organizations and letting big dogs slobber on her. For a large portion of her career, she has was a strict vegan -- rejecting all animal products including leather. She received a lot of criticism when she decided to backslide into casual meat eating and leather wearing -- around the time of her Charlie's Angels role -- but she still claims to consume both in moderation.

Bonus points: Drew rejected an offer to be on the cover of Vogue, because it would require her to wear clothes from a designer who uses fur. I repeat for emphasis, she wouldn't have to wear fur, but just the clothes from the same designer.

Double bonus points: Drew's dog Flossie -- a rescued yellow lab -- loved her so much, that it saved her and boyfriend Tom Green from a fire that burned down Drew's mansion. Flossie woke the sleeping couple by barking an banging on the bedroom door -- like something straight out of an episode of Lassie.

It's getting hot in here...
