Add Kristen Bell to the ever-growing list of celebrities and politicians speaking out in favor of marriage equality.

The “House of Lies” actress is the latest to film a video ad for the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) Americans for Marriage Equality effort. “It breaks my heart to know that millions of gay Americans still can’t marry the one they love, and I can,” Bell, who will next be seen opposite Bradley Cooper in this summer’s “Outrun,” says in the new clip. “That makes no sense.”

Bell’s efforts earned the praise of HRC President Joe Solmonese. “Every day committed and loving gay and lesbian couples face the unfair reality that marriage is out of the question for them,” he said in an email statement. “Kristen Bell, like a majority of Americans, recognizes the injustice of this discrimination, and the harm it inflicts on families across the country.”

This isn’t the first time the 31-year-old actress has spoken out in favor of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights. Earlier this month, she told The Advocate that she and fiance Dax Shepard would hold off on tying the knot until until same-sex marriage is legal throughout the United States. “The reason we’re not rushing to get married is because I don’t feel appropriate taking advantage of a right that’s denied to my best friends,” said Bell, who names openly gay “Star Trek” actor Zachary Quinto as a confidante. “Dax and I have talked about it a lot, and this issue is very important to both of us. We’re just standing up for what we believe in.”

More than a dozen young Hollywood stars, including Zachary Levi of “Chuck,” Clark Duke of “Greek” and Naya Rivera of “Glee” have joined forces for a public service announcement in support a cause that’s recently become close to my heart–innovative cancer research.

Zac Efron, Dakota Fanning, Andrew Garfield, Vanessa Hudgens, Logan Lerman, Kristen Bell, Jon Heder, Aubrey Plaza, Sofia Vassilieva, Olivia Munn, Donald Faison, Aaron Yoo and William Moseley also appear in the Stand Up To Cancer “Change The Odds” PSA that launched Tuesday online. Marc Webb (“(500) Days of Summer”) and Rich Lee co-directed the PSA.

It will be featured on the Stand Up To Cancer telethon airing at 7 p.m. Sept. 10 on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, HBO, Discovery Health, E!, MLB Network, The Style Network, VH1, HBO Latino, Showtime, TV One and G4. Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Brian Williams will host.

Stand Up To Cancer works to raise funds for research. According to a press release: “The primary goal of SU2C is to raise funds for groundbreaking translational research to accelerate the delivery of new therapies to patients, getting them from the ‘bench to the bedside’ as quickly as possible. SU2C brings together scientists from different disciplines across various institutions to work collaboratively, rather than competitively, at a critical time in the field of cancer research.”

Kristen Bell, who credits her love of dogs for the reason she has been a vegetarian since the age of 11, has launched a new project to benefit the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the organization’s efforts to take care of rescued animals with special needs.

Bell is dedicating the project to her Labrador named Sadie who was recovered from the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. The actress explains that when she first met Sadie, the 11-year-old pooch was in bad shape with missing teeth and in need of surgery. Bell writes, “What I loved so much about Sadie was that – through it all – the pain, the loss she’d just experienced, the uncertainty of what was next, she was just this total loveball. I saw that all this dog needed was a place to hang her hat. And I was going to give it to her.”

The 30-year-old is using actor Edward Norton’s Crowdrise—a social networking and crowdsourcing platform—to raise the funds for HSUS. The money raised will be earmarked for special needs pets at HSUS shelter partners.
