Ashley Greene Wins PETA Award

Popular Twilight star Ashley Greene was awarded the PETA 2010 Kind Choices award July 8 for her decision to sign on with cosmetic company Avon. Greene will be the new face of Avon’s youth-oriented line Mark. Avon, a favorite of PETA, was the first large cosmetic company to go cruelty-free back in 1989, banning all animal testing. Kathy Guillermo, PETA vice president of laboratory investigations, said in a press release, “Ashley and Avon are to be congratulated for encouraging millions of Twilight fans and other young people to choose makeup that’s fun, not fatal.”
