Kristin Bauer van Straten has lended her acting talents to Slash in this new music video ‘Gotten’. The video is for a cause she and Slash care deeply for – The Los Angeles Youth Network (LAYN).

Kristin Bauer van Straten attended the 26th annual Genesis Awards held at the Beverly Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA, last night (March 24, 2012). She was a presenter.
The Genesis Awards pays tribute to the major news and entertainment media for producing outstanding works that raise public awareness of animal issues.
Kristin Bauer van Straten spent a mythical five minutes with President Barack Obama chatting about the environment, time travel, animal cruelty and our nation’s food supply – and the dangers that lurk there.
Does Kristin have any political aspirations? Find out at the end!
Robin Bronk: If you had five minutes in the Oval Office with President Obama, what would you discuss with him? What issue would you like him to know about?
Kristin Bauer: I can’t imagine how full his plate is — mine is pretty full, and I’m not the leader of the free world — but he also has much more help than I.
I know he is aware of these issues and, of course, many more, but an area I am very concerned about is the safety and treatment of our animals and our food. At the least we have the right to know what we are eating with full labeling. Animals also have a right to not be enslaved and tortured, not to mention the devastating effect farmed animals and engineered food may have on our bodies and the body of Earth. The impact of factory farms makes cars look like air purifiers.
RB: If you could give President Obama one piece of advice, what would that be?
KB: Giving him advice on his job is possibly as silly as him giving me advice on acting, but I did participate in electing him and I care about life on Earth.
I care about what corporations are coercing in Washington for their own profits, often against nature and life. I care about the revolving door of positions between large corporations, who now openly fund campaigns, and high-level positions in the White House. It’s easy to see who these companies are by looking up who gets what job in the White House and which industries get lots of help and a pass on some taxes and environmental protections. They fund campaigns, and one must campaign to stay in office. I get it. Not sure of the solution, as I understand wanting to keep one’s job. But … life is life and is miraculous, from a blade of grass to the mammoth blue whale, and there is a non-monetary price to pay for manipulating nature to increase stock prices. And the price will be paid by humans. Earth will be fine without us. She doesn’t need us to thrive, but we do need her. Read More »
