Pam Anderson’s Vegan Foot Fetish: She Wants Her Own Line Of Shoes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 4th, 2008 in Actresses, Fashion.

Pamela Anderson arrives in Australia to promote her Reality TV series

Following the footsteps (no pun intended) of fellow veg sister Natalie Portman, Pamela Anderson is interested in designing her own line of vegan shoes. Since discovering one of her favorite pairs of shoes, Ugg boots, is made from sheepskin, she’s determined she and other vegetarians can do better.

“Like a lot of women around L.A, I always wore Ugg boots until I realized what they are made from,” she said.

“I don’t wear them any more. Instead I’m designing my own range of animal-friendly shoes. My goal is to make sure every mom in Malibu has a pair of boots that are not sheep.”

She’ll definitely have a vegan fanbase for the shoes when they eventually come out. And hopefully, with her celebrity status, many non-veg feet fashionistas will realize you can look great in your own (and not another animal’s) skin.

5th Annual Jammy Jam Awards

English born singer-songwriter Nellie McKay has won praise for her albums such as Get Away From Me, Pretty Little Head, and Obligatory Villagers. She also was a stand up comedian. A beautiful woman, who sings well, is funny, and  vegan? Some people have too much of an advantage.

“I’m a junkatarian meaning I’m vegan to the best of my ability but I like to order French fries all the time. To displace feminism, I don’t like to cook much so I order out a lot and often I order French fries. I find being a vegan very hard. It’s a huge pain in the ass, everyday I try but it’s hard. But if everyone cuts down just a little, like cut one meat product out of your life or cut back a day of meat a week, that will make a change. I finally decided to become a vegan while I was eating a Sunday at Denny’s, I thought it’s time, I know whats going on, I need to make a change, it needs to happen. The animals, if they could, they’d thank you.”

IFTA (Irish Film And Television )Awards 2008

A list of top vegetarian friendly rehabs has been released by PETA and several of the centers have catered to many celebrities, including Mel Gibson. While we don’t know if any of these celebs actually requested non-meat meals during their tenures, we definitely know where Amy Winehouse’s next stop should be if she decides to go vegetarian. Here’s what she might enjoy:

Passages (California): Hummus, tabouleh, pasta primavera, vegetarian lasagne, wild mushroom pasta, vegetarian tacos and burritos, and veggie burgers. Mel Gibson stayed here.

The Meadows (Arizona): Tofu, veggie burgers, and vegetarian casseroles. Kate Moss, Eric Benet, Mike Tyson, Elle McPherson, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson, Paul Gascoigne, Ron Wood, Kerry Katona, Michael Barrymore, and Whitney Houston have all done rehab time here.

Cottonwood de Tucson (Arizona, yes the The Grand Canyon State has 2 of the favorites!): Baked rigatoni with spinach, wasabi mashed potatoes with snap peas, veggie pizza, veggie fried rice with spring rolls, portobello mushrooms stuffed with polenta, vegetable tostadas, green corn tostadas. Ron Wood, Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell, and Robbie Williams have all said, “Yes, yes, yes,” to here.

For a complete list, go here.

Pet Names For Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla Include “PETA Guy”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 in Bands, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Death Cab For Cutie Play Sydney

Chris Walla is a vegetarian who loves his Amy’s Kitchen Frozen Meals. He’s also done work for PETA and is so passionate about veg issues, his bandmates, Nick Harmer and Jason McGeer have nicknamed him, “The PETA guy.”

And although Nick and Jason are not vegetarian, they follow the Morrissey workforce culture and abstain from meat while on tour.

“We’ll roll that way for an entire tour just because it’s just easier having food brought in or prepared,” Jason said.

“It’s easier to say the whole band is vegetarian because we can eat that, for sure, [but] they [Chris Walla and Ben Gibbard] can’t eat the other options,” Nick added.

Good idea. Not only is it easier for Chris and Ben, but it may just be job security as Morrissey’s crew would be terminated if any burger in their mouth wasn’t Boca.

1,2 Pam Anderson’s Coming For You…7,8 Better Get Veg Straight

Ahh…He’s so cute…I’m going to get him.

This is almost getting kind of creepy. Celebrities who promote meat had better beware: Pamela Anderson will be on you faster than a vegan cheetah who shuns Cheetos.

We all know by now how she feels about Jessica Simpson’s wardrobe preferences and she even sent her written information on how meat is bad for the environment. Her next stop is Matthew McConaughey’s door-or shall we say his freezer.

The southern boy actor and recent father has become a spokesman for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and has done ads urging people to eat more red meat. Not too good.

“He is so cute, how can he do that?” said Anderson. I’m going to send him a letter.”

American Idol 2008 Grand Finale - Arrivals

One of American Idol’s favorite Teddy Bears is enjoying his newlywedness with wife Surata Zuri McCants, whom he married on June 28, 2008. A quote from Go Veg.com reveals where the happy couple might be eating when Surata (or Ruben) doesn’t want to cook:

“My favorite dish is from PF Chang’s: the Buddha’s Feast. It’s hands-down my favorite dish. And the tofu lettuce wraps. My favorite brand now is Morningstar. Anything Morningstar, I love it—except for the sausage links. The patties ain’t bad though. But yesterday I had the fake buffalo wings.”

Ugly Betty actress Rebecca Romijn is expecting a set of twins with husband Jerry O’Connell and according to Female First, she’s definitely craving soy cheese for three. Hubby O’Connell said:

“Lemonade always has to be in our fridge. That’s my job. Also soy cream cheese. It’s crazy, right? Can’t be cream cheese. Soy cream cheese. Do you know how difficult it is to find soy cream cheese? It’s usually in the corner of the supermarket someplace!”

Hard to find soy products in some supermarkets?! You don’t have to tell us about it. It would be cool if she kept craving soy products after the twins are delivered.
