Daryl Hannah was arrested today during a protest against a proposed new oil pipeline. Seated on a sidewalk in front of the White House, the actress refused to move despite US Park Police orders, the AP reports. She had been participating in a sit-in against the Keystone XL pipeline, which would run from Canada to the Gulf Coast, through six states. It's not the first time Hannah has been arrested for an environmental cause. (More Daryl Hannah stories.)
