Kristen rings Bell on celebrity kid pics

Actor Kristen Bell has declared she will not speak to news outlets that publish images of celebrity's children.

Kristen Bell has vowed not to speak to any news providers that publish pictures of celebrity children.

The 33-year-old Veronica Mars actress had her first child with husband Dax Shepard in March 2013. The couple have been advocates of keeping kids out of the press ever since.

Bell took to Twitter on Wednesday to shame certain outlets for writing stories about famous people's offspring.

"Sad 2 hear @eonline/@ENews is OK w/supporting #pedorazzi. They have ZERO interest in creating a #nokidspolicy. RT if u think its a bummer," she wrote to her over 1.3 million followers.

Bell proceeded to rally communities to support her cause.

"Id love to see the day when CONSUMERS have the power to get @eonline/@ENews to create a #nokidspolicy & stop siding w/#pedorazzi (sic)," she tweeted.

Several of Bell's followers endorsed her sentiments.

In response to a reply, Bell gave her word to stop doing interviews for outlets without a "no kids policy".

"DONE!" she declared after @DowntownJRBrown offered her this proposition: "You could refuse to promote your films and grant interviews to these companies. That would have the most pull."

In January, Shepard also called for a media boycott.

"Please boycott magazines that run pics of 'celebrity children'," he tweeted.

"They shouldn't be punished for who their parents are."

In a subsequent tweet, Shepard added: "Children shouldn't be stalked. #boycottusweekly #boycottstar #boycottpeople #boycottintouch #boycottboycottboycott."

Bell and Shepard, who married last October, have a history of backing civil-rights issues. They waited to wed until California legally recognised same-sex marriage, which happened in June 2013.
