Kristen Johnston: Ban N.Y.C. Carriage Horses!

Originally posted 10/22/2012 09:00AM

Kristen Johnston knows how to get your attention.

"All you got to do is drop trou," she tells PEOPLE. "Pretty much that's the biggest statement you can make. Drop trou, get on a plastic horse and people start paying attention."

Johnston got naked (and got on a plastic horse) to bring awareness to the inhumane treatment of carriage horses in New York City. Four years after that memorable PETA campaign, the actress is being honored for her continued efforts to bring an end to the carriage horse rides that are a staple of the Big Apple by New Yorkers for Clean, Livable and Safe Streets (NYCLASS), an organization she was turned on to by a friend on the board.

Ryan Gosling's Work Buddies: A Dog and a Horse

Originally posted 09/28/2012 05:00PM

A dog paid a visit to the Austin, Texas, set of director Terrence Malick's new film, and all we could think was, That lucky bitch.

Leave it to Ryan Gosling to smile at a passing pooch and stir up all kinds of feelings: jealousy, spitefulness, despair.

The actor, along with costar Rooney Mara, is currently spending long days on set for the untitled picture, and seemed to relax momentarily on Wednesday when a crew member brought over the dog between takes.

Princes Harry & William Pony Up

It's hard to keep an athlete away from the field for too long.

After several days of cheering on Olympians – including fellow equestrian and cousin Zara Phillips – Princes Harry and William saddled up Sunday for a game of polo.

The brothers squared off in the Jerudong Trophy Polo Match, held at the Cirencester Polo Club just outside London, to benefit a trio of charities close to both their hearts.

Nikki Reed on WhoSay

Twilight star Nikki Reed is no stranger to getting her photo taken, but she wasn't expecting to become a target for her own mom.

"My mom just took this pic," she wrote on Tuesday, posting a photo of her sharing a cuddle with a horse on WhoSay. "I thought getting her a camera phone was a wise move – now all I do is pose for her. She's obsessed! Stop her!"

While Reed might not be the biggest fan of starring in her mother's snapshots, she is herself a frequent poster of horse photos.
