Ready for a really cool two-fer? Not only do we have a brand spankin' new veggie testimonial from actor Daniela Sea (who plays transman computer tech Moira/Max Sweeney on Showtime's The L Word), but we also have a season DVD of the hit show that we're really itching to give away. But before we scratch that itch, let's take a look-see at Ms. Sea's testimonial:

"Animals are not ours to torture and dominate," says the longtime vegan. Not one to mince words about the meat industry, Daniela gave us the inside scoop about the three things that made her go vegan in this behind-the-scenes Q&A:

Now back to that itch … All you've got to do to get your hot little hands on this primo prize is focus on another "L" word we all like: "lunch." Just send us a comment telling us about your favorite vegetarian lunch by February 1, 2009, and you could be the lucky duck to walk away with a season of The L Word.

We'll contact the winner by February 2, 2009. Be sure to read the contest terms and conditions and PETA's privacy policy, as you are agreeing to both by leaving a comment. While you're waiting, check out our New Year's Veg Pledge. Daniela would be proud!

Well hot diggity, she's done it again! The world's original female rock star has kindly chosen to use her powers for good by taking the time to shoot a new PSA for us. Just in case you hadn't heard, in addition to being a trailblazing icon, Joan is also an outspoken animal rights activist (not to mention that I've had my hair blown back by her bangin' music).

The Songwriting Hall of Famer doesn't just toss us a bone now and again by lending us her celebrity; this vegan actually talks about animal rights to every interviewer and audience that will listen. Her refreshing outlook and activism include a passion for the environment as well. Her latest CD, Sinner (which is rockin' in my earphones right now), actually comes to you loud and direct in 100 percent recycled packaging.

Because she gets the big picture, she's obviously the perfect candidate to give a spiel about why going vegetarian is most important favor we can do for the only planet we have. Check out the snappy, fact-filled veggie testimonial she did for us here:

Shanna Moakler is the latest celebrity to spill-all for PETA’s veggie testimonials! The actor/model has come a long way since being crowned Miss USA. Shanna holds nothing back when it comes to speaking her mind about vegetarianism and the fur trade.

Her responsibility as a mother is as important to her as her responsibility to be a compassionate role model. Her children understand compassion for all animals, including those who often wind up on people's dinner tables.

Check out her veggie testimonial here:

Shanna admits that she didn't realize just how harmful the foods she was putting in her mouth really were until after she made the switch to vegetarian foods. So, why not give our Pledge to be Veg for 30 Days a go and feel for yourself the incredible difference that a few weeks of meat-ditching can make!

Now check out Shanna's behind-the-scenes exclusive interview with PETA:

Grammy Award winner Bryan Adams is one heck of a hard-rockin' musician and a photographer extraordinaire to boot—this Renaissance man has even helped PETA with our own celebrity photo shoots. During his nearly three decades of entertaining the masses, his talents have garnered him 13 Grammy nominations; five Golden Globe nominations for songs he wrote for films, including the film Bobby; and three Oscar nominations. He's recorded hits such as "Straight From the Heart," "Heaven," and "Summer of '69"—a karaoke favorite 'round here!

He's also a vegan, and he's been one for quite some time—17 years to be exact! He says he gets the energy and endurance he needs to put on a rockin' show largely from the food he puts into his body.

Sadly, his tour isn't taking him to any U.S. venues this year, but you can check out his new veggie testimonial right here!

Yes, it's safe to say you won't find this Canadian scarfing down an unhealthy, cruelty-filled bucket of fried chicken. In fact, you might remember that the Kingston, Ontario–born rocker spoke out against most of the KFCs in Canada before the new animal welfare standards were adopted there. To adopt a cruelty-free diet just like Bryan's, you can order your very own "Vegetarian Starter Kit" right here.

Too bad you're not coming to the U.S. this go-around, Bryan, but we'll keep our fingers crossed for next time.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you should check out this beautiful website, which has been designed to house all the veggie testimonials we’ve made recently with celebrities such as Sir Paul McCartney, Alicia Silverstone, Forest Whittaker, Casey Affleck, James Cromwell, and others. There’s also a section where you can upload your own video testimonial about what made you go vegetarian, ‘cuz we’re all Web 2.0 like that. To kick things off, I made my own version. Check it out, then make your own and follow the directions here to submit it. There are some T-shirts and an iPod up for grabs for the best submissions. Plus everlasting Internet notoriety, of course.

I didn't invent the iconic and timeless Saturday Night Live character Mr. Subliminal. I am not the rich and famous star of the Showtime series Weeds. And I'm not the guardian of millions of pet fish. But Kevin Nealon is all of these things, and he’s also the star of this hilarious new "veggie testimonial" video.

And make sure to watch Kevin's interview here as well. It's frikkin hilarious.
