SYDNEY -- Two stars of the "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here" television show have been charged with animal cruelty after allegedly killing and cooking a rat to eat during filming.

Chef Gino D'Acampo, who won the viewer-feedback contest series, and actor Stuart Manning were charged after animal welfare activists lodged a complaint about a segment for the British TV program, which was filmed in Australia, the activists and British media reported Sunday.

BRITAIN may be stuck in recession, but it seems simple acts of kindness are helping to lighten the mood.

Donations to charities are up, big businesses are giving away goods to the needy, and even celebrities such as Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham are extolling the benefits of being nicer to one another.

Social commentators have picked up on the trend, with psychologist and author Robert Holden telling how being kind to someone can act like an anti-depressant for some people.

In a recent article, The Sunday Times' writer Jessica Brinton summed up the mood, saying it was "suddenly rather sexy to be kind".
