Heather Mills has confirmed that she will be coming out with her own line of vegan food but is refusing to reveal its name until the launch in October.

Earlier, we brought you the news of her shopping around in Chicago for possible business and living headquarters.

Gwyneth Paltrow Endorses Items With Fur: Does Hubby Chris Martin Know About This?

Estee Lauder Spokesmodels Elizabeth Hurley, Gwyneth Paltrow, Carolyn Murphy and Hilary Rhoda Appear at Bloomingdale's NY

Gwyneth Paltrow teamed up with Italian designer Tod’s and has been modeling fox fur and fur lined boots in advertisements. Obviously, PETA is not too pleased:

“We’ve written to her many times, and sent her videos showing how animals suffer for fur, but have never received a response,” said a spokesperson for the group.

“Apparently her beauty really is only skin deep. Gwyneth Paltrow won’t be the apple of her daughter’s eye if she continues to flaunt fur. It’s a terrible example to set for a young child.”

But the story is even better, as she is the wife of Coldplay’s Chris Martin, a vegetarian.

Sources say she may be jeopardizing her friendship with vegetarians and animal lovers, such as Stella McCartney. And we already know how she feels about the whole fur thing.

Olympic Judo Champ Ronda Rousey Going Vegan, Likes Fake Crab Meat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, August 18th, 2008 in Athletes-Games-Sports.

Olympics Day 5 - Judo

Olympic Judo champion Ronda Rousey is going to try and kick butt vegan style. The first U.S. female to win a medal in Judo, Rousey was asked soon after winning what she was going to do next?

Disney World? World Peace? No, for now it’s just give up dairy.

“As of right now I am a vegan. I put that off until after I was done with this tournament.”

Martial arts toughness seems to run in the family, or at least the female side of it. Rousey’s mother, AnnMaria De Mars, is a former U.S. world champion judoka. A reporter asked her mother if a vegan lifestyle really jived with participating in an aggressive sport. “I mean, we’re tough but we don’t kill our opponents and eat them,” De Mars said.

One of Rousey’s favorite veg foods is imitation crab meat.
