<p>Actress Emmanuelle Chriqui, star of the HBO show <em>Entourage</em> and self-described "actor/activist," just announced her support for the campaign on <a href="http://www.change.org/petitions/ceo-of-apple-inc-make-a-conflict-free-product-that-includes-minerals-from-eastern-congo?utm_source=social_media&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_content=post&amp;utm_campaign=en_usa_ht&amp;utm_term=Apple-Conflict-Minerals_Apple-Tim-Cook">Change.org</a> calling on Apple to make products with conflict-free minerals sourced from Eastern Congo. The petition has more than 56,000 e-signatures, but Apple is already orchestrating its own efforts: the company just released a sustainability report <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Africa/Africa-Monitor/2012/0120/New-Apple-report-shows-efforts-to-avoid-conflict-minerals-in-supply-chain">identifying</a> the conflict minerals, tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, and their origins.<!--more--></p>
<p>We were just about to laud the actress for walking the walk, as she tweets mostly from "Twitter for Android." But then we saw this:</p>
