Protesting actors, pop stars, models and socialites have started a
celebrity backlash against the A-list's favourite restaurant Nobu for
selling an endangered fish.Sienna Miller, Charlize Theron,
Jemima Khan, Sting and his film producer wife Trudie Styler are among
31 signatories of a letter to the Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa
appealing for him to remove bluefin tuna from his global restaurant
empire so that they can "dine with a clear conscience".

Seems like the whole brouhaha started, the articles states after "Kate Goldsmith, the Rothschild heiress, gathered support for the letter
after she and her husband Ben Goldsmith watched a preview of a film

The documentary whose trailer is shown above is set to be released in June 2009.
