Dianna Agron Stars In Shocking New PSA For Texting And Driving

Posted on Thu Aug 23rd, 2012 11:25am PDT       By X17 Staff




That's one way to get people's attention!

Glee actress Dianna Agron stars in a new "Stop The Texts. Stop the Wrecks" PSA cautioning about the dangers of texting and driving, and clearly the campaign is aiming to shock! Using a scene from the hit FOX show, where Agron's character Quinn is left temporarily paralyzed after being distracted on her cell phone, the message is clear - keep your eyes on the road!

"Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting and driving," the blonde beauty warns.

Show creator Ryan Murphy deliberately highlighted the dangers of operating a vehicle while using technology. "We were inspired by Oprah Winfrey's campaign encouraging everyone to sign a pledge not to text and drive, which we all signed when we did her show a few years ago, and we had been looking for an opportunity to tell the story of how a few seconds of carelessness could have a devastating impact on people's lives. We've already heard from thousands of our fans how this story touched them, and we loved the idea of a PSA campaign to keep this important issue front and center," he explained.

We couldn't agree more!

Celine Dion is showing off her sexy 44-year-old body in the pages of V Magazine.

The singer, who is strutting her stuff at her Florida home without a top, told the mag:

    "I was scared a little bit because this is so different for me, but I'm glad I did it. Usually there's always a reason when I do a photo shoot, there's not the opportunity to go crazy."


Dion, who has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, also opens up about hubby Rene Angelil's cancer ordeal. She adds:


    "I've been an open book all my life and I think that's why people like me," she said. "For me to tell someone that my husband had cancer, that we were struggling to have kids, or whatever we've gone through, talking about my life lets people know the real me."

AMorissette230.jpg We applaud her for being so open about it!

Alanis Morissette recently revealed that she battled postpartum depression after giving birth to son Ever in 2010, and now the 38-year-old singer is coming forth with her own advice for mothers suffering from the same condition.

"I just thought it was a swampy chapter, if I soldiered it out, that it would go away. I came to realize that the longer I waited, the more intense it would become," she explained to ET Canada.

The Grammy winner is the latest celeb to confess to the baby blues, following admissions from Brooke Shields and Gwyneth Paltrow among others.

"I think if there is any goal in me talking about it, it would be to eradicate the shame around it. It's just what happens sometimes and, for me, I just waited way too long to reach out for help," she added.

Bravo for being so honest, Alanis!

lohan-twitter-lies-230.jpgHmm, is this in regards to her alleged involvement in that robbery on Sunday night?

While the owner of a Hollywood Hills mansion has accused Lindsay Lohan of aiding two men who robbed his house during a party over the weekend, the 26-year-old starlet jetted off to New York City on Tuesday and doesn't seem too concerned about the incident. Lilo was questioned by police on Monday, and though her trip to the east coast seems like more than a coincidence, her rep insists that it was planned a week ago.

In response to the media frenzy, Lilo tweeted yesterday, "Whenever I'm doing great, people fabricate lies. It's such a shame. I'm just sayin' xo."

But hey, she doesn't seem too bummed about it. A few hours after her tweet, Lindsay was spotted at a bash at the Dream hotel with several friends. Party on!

With all her Mad Men money, it's not like she needs to, but we love the fact that January Jones is a bargain shopper!

The 34-year-old actress and her darling son Xander were snapped getting some goodies at Target in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and we're still not sure who the baby daddy is, but one thing's for sure: the tiny tot is absolutely adorable!

January and her Mad Men co-stars Elisabeth Moss and Vincent Kartheiser were recently in negotiations with Lionsgate over their salaries for the final two seasons of the hit AMC series, and a source for Deadline reports that the actors will receive pay bumps "well into six figures per episode."

EvaLongoria080412_01_X17crop230.jpgEva Longoria is ready to show her support for President Barack Obama by speaking at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in February.

The 37-year-old Desperate Housewives actress, who will take the podium in Charlotte, North Carolina, is one of 35 national co-chairs in Obama's upcoming re-election campaign.

During a campaign video, Longoria made the following statement:

    "Ever since I was a little kid, my parents made sure I knew I could do anything if I worked hard, and my sister Lisa who faced obstacles growing up with special needs, taught me to be courageous and compassionate. This is how I try to live my life day to day and this is what I see in everything President Obama does.

    Whether he’s fighting for affordable healthcare and access to education, or supporting small businesses in the hispanic community, over the last three years he’s worked to reform our immigration system, to give everyone a fair shot at the American Dream."


Other speakers will include San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, U.S. Senator John Kerry and Former President Bill Clinton. The DNC will take place from Sept. 4 - 6.
