Read the whole story: PETA UK:
Jamie Bamber has long been a firm favourite on the sci-fi scene, with his ever-exciting role as Lee "Apollo" Adama in Battlestar Galactica. And now he's wooing UK audiences as DS Matt Devlin in the new ITV1 drama Law and Order. There's nothing quite like fighting for justice and helping those in need – and always look really good doing it, of course!
It didn't surprise us one bit that Jamie is like that in real life too. That's why he bared his skin in PETA's newest ad to help save black bears killed for their fur. When Jamie learned how Canadian black bears are killed to make the Queen's Guards' ceremonial caps, the British-born actor jumped at the chance to help. "I initially decided to do the PETA ad because a great friend of mine in L.A., Lucy Davis, had just done a similar ad, and I love Lucy and it was a cause I didn't know about – I'll be honest. So as soon as Lucy opened my eyes, I was thrilled to join her and do my bit."
Apollo & His Towel
From "Final Cut," Battlestar Galactica.
While D'Anna interviews Viper pilots by their bunks, Apollo tries to introduce himself.
Until now fans of Jamie Bamber (Apollo On the Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica) had to make do with the awesome but short clip of Mr. Bamber almost losing his very small towel in a memorable scene from the episode "Final Cut" on the tv series "Battlestar Galactica." No more. In an effort to raise awareness of the plight of black bears killed to make the Queen's Guard's caps--it takes one whole bear to make a single cap--Jamie got naked for PETA.(top of page) Originally found at HuffPost.
“Part of his job is to stay in touch with the American people, and the
White House can be a very suffocating place if you don’t get out and
talk to people,” David Axelrod, a senior adviser to President Obama, speaking of the presidential visit back home to Chicago.
This video is a veritable Where's Waldo of
the entire inner circle of the 43rd and 44th inner-circle-to-be White
House administrations.
All the living ex-presidents and on across the board and down the line are sitting here. Everyone's really freezing, too. :)
All set to Aretha. And her hat!
She is awesome here but when is Aretha Franklin's voice not awesome?
Also,
pay attention and see rude Joe Biden yacking during the song. You can
bet neither Michelle nor Barack did anything but listen and enjoy
Aretha sing for them.
(No surprise that it was more than Biden of
course, in this crowd of more than 100 peeps who did not give the Queen
of Soul undivided attention). Nancy Pelosi looked to have responded to
her neighbour (talked during the song) but she grooved to Aretha much
of the time, too

After Christian Bale freaked out on the set of Terminator Salvation and TMZ released the audio, a music producer, RevoLucian, made an awesome dance track with all of the anger of a Christian Bale moment, but with better beats.
Also with Barbra Streisand. :)
Remember when Bill O'Reilly freaked-out at that intern? Remember two days ago when TMZ released the audio of Christian Bale freaking out? Remember mash-ups? We remember all these things, and so does the video editor that spliced them all together...
