Star-studded PSA seeks aid for Gulf region
The celebrities have come out of the woodwork for this Restore the Gulf PSA, aimed at helping the region recover in the wake of the devastating oil spill. We get Sandra Bullock, Blake Lively, several Mannings, Wendell Pierce and John Goodman (both of whom star in Treme, set in New Orleans), a very hairy Harry Shearer and a load of other stars. The spot directs viewers to restorethegulf.com, where you are asked to sign a petition "demanding a plan, fully funded and implemented, for the restoration of the Gulf of Mexico, its coastlines and its wetlands."
