The actress participated in the nude for one of the org’s anti-fur ads — and, judging by recent comments, would be more than willing to do it again. This time, however, she’s got a specific partner in mind to tango au natural with.

“I really want to do a PETA ad with Morrissey, I’d be happy to do it naked if need be,” she told the UK Sun. “I’ve done a lot of work with them and I know Morrissey is a big supported of PETA, so here’s hoping! Whether Morrissey would want to get naked with me is another question. Maybe he could come up with something more creative than out-and-out nudity.”

Singer Steven Patrick Morrissey is a long-time supporter of animal rights — with his “Meat Is Murder” album having inspired many fans to pursue veggie alternatives. Mendes admits that she’s had a crush on the performer for a long time. “When he sings it’s poetry in motion to me. It completely speaks to me. I love Morrissey, but I don’t think I’d want to marry him,” she added.

Ball is in your court, Morrissey! Not sure how many guys would want to turn down a “let’s get naked for a good cause” invite from Mendes. Make it so!

But I’ll have to get a new phone eventually, so what should I do with this one? Scarlett, Eva…care to help me answer that?

Starting this Friday, Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes will be starring in a series of Public Service Announcements to encourage people to recycle their discarded cell phones. The initiative is a cross promotional campaign with the Environmental Media Association and Lionsgate to help reduce CO2 emissions (while promoting The Spirit). 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the average user replaces his or her cell phone every 18 months and that Nationwide, 130 million cellular phones go out of use annually, creating an estimated 65,000 tons of electronic garbage. That’s a lot of trash!

We didn’t use whole pieces of paper towel. We shared, or used rags. Mom didn’t even want us flushing all the time.”

- Eva Mendes talking to Marie Claire in their September issue. Poor, rich or otherwise it’s always nice to be responsible when using resources from our planet.

In partnership with designer Marc Jacobs, she is posing nude in a series of t-shirts that will promote skin cancer awareness. Posh is joining other naked female celebrities protecting their skin like Heidi Klum, Eva Mendes, and Joss Stone who have also supported the campaign.  According to Posh:

Since we moved to California I have realised how important it is to practise safe sun for myself and to keep my three boys skin well protected as well. Skin cancer is a huge problem and I really wanted to help raise awareness by taking part in Marc’s initiative.

The autographed shirts go on sale in Marc Jacob’s stores beginning next week and all proceeds from the sale will go to the NYU Skin Cancer Foundation.

With all the do goodness running around this holiday season, it is hard to keep up with the many celebrities and the causes that they support. While Angie and Brad clearly steal the humanitarian headlines, we discovered a whole slew of new celebs supporting amazing organizations from this week’s US weekly. A few highlights and some organizations that run close to celebrity hearts include:

Lucy Liu has been an active ambassador to UNICEF since 2005 and raised more than $250,000 by auctioning her own artwork.

Courtney Cox became involved with The Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation which raises money for a rare genetic condition. She became involved over three years ago when her manager’s nephew was diagnosed.

Kristin Davis got involved with Oxfam America after the 2004 tsunami and is a big fan of the OxfamAmericaUnwrapped.com program which provides socially conscious gift giving solutions.

Claire Danes keeps her involvement close to home by helping teachers in needy public schools post project proposals on Donorschoose.org. Attending NYC public schools in her early teens, Danes became involved in 2004 after first being introduced to the organization.

Usher believes in getting physically involved and is helping bring displaced families from Katrina back home through Usher’s New Look program which has already helped hundreds of families.

Check out more from from Eva Mendes, John Legend, Leslie Bibb, and Eric Szmanda in US Weekly’s celebs and their causes on newsstands now.
