I’m glad people are paying attention to them.  They have some astounding facts to share.

Finally! Aside from that sexy Ian Somerhalder, we’ve been shocked at the lack of celebrity outcry about everything terrible that is happening down in the Gulf right now, to humans and sea creatures alike.

Larry King has called in some celebrity troops to help with a telethon tonight, but in comparison to, say, Haiti (obviously a valid cause), Hollywood hasn’t exactly been quick to rally and do something about the terrible effects of BP’s “mistake.”

Enter Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols…

The happy couple are not so happy about the situation down south.

The two babes have been all over Twitter, trying to boost awareness about the level of devastation. Sophia and Austin are each trying to get 50,000 followers to make a big donation to Global Green. The two have already made several donations to the charity on their own and are in Grand Isle, La., as we type with Global Green’s Mathew Peterson.

Sophia and Austin have been tweeting about this and mentioned Matt Petersen who wrote this article…

Somewhere in the Air, USA — I am on the way down to the Gulf Coast as I write Delta has wifi! to go out on the water in the Gulf tomorrow, and attempt to help clean up the Louisiana beaches impacted by the BP oil spill.

Joining us on the trip are Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols of One Tree Hill, the TV show. While they have the amazing ability to get nearly 20,000 twitter followers in just a few days, they are just like many of us — angry about the spill, and wanting to help.
