More celebrities join Wall Street protests - TheCelebrityCafe.com

Last week actress Susan Sarandon joined New York protestors at Wall Street to learn more about the issues and why people were there and on Friday one more celebrity joined the cause.

Yahoo reported Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley stopped by to lend his support to those protesting social inequality. He said he doesn't believe his presence should impact how much attention the protests receive, but admits that his fame helps.

"I mean, listen, it's cheesy. But I want to do whatever I can. Let's be honest: I'm on Gossip Girl... It's absurd that celebrity power is what it is, but, like, use any tool you have, you know?"

CBS News reported 13 Going on 30's Mark Ruffalo was at the rally Tuesday and that he's also posted news articles and comments on his Twitter account to continue showing his support.

Other celebrities that have shown support include Yoko Ono, Alec Baldwin, and Michael Moore.

Last month Lupe Fiasco encouraged protestors after donating tents and supplies. Talib Kweli gave an impromptu concert to the crowd, performing "Distraction" and "Thieves in the Night," and Russell Simmons handed out around 500 bottles of water.

Who do you think will be the next Hollywood staple to stop by?
