Pamela Anderson stole the spotlight for veg celebrities when Kentucky Fried Chicken Canada announced they added a vegan faux chicken option to the menu. She showed up, posed for some nice photographs of her chowing down on one, and said it was “very Canadian.”

Whatever “very Canadian” meant, we’re not sure, but we love Pam, so we’ll keep it at that.

Anyway, other celebrities were a part of the campaign to get KFC to change its ways, including the all veg band Rise Against. They’ve released a new album, Appeal To Reason, and Ugo.com’s music blog asked all kinds of questions about the band, the tour, and their support of PETA.  Of KFC’s decision to offer veg chicken, member Joe Principe said, “It really is amazing that they added that to their menu.”

Some of the guys are into video games, but Joe is afraid he’ll “never leave the house,” if he buys one. He wouldn’t mind having a Wii Fit, though.

If u go to Ugo’s page, you’ll find the entire interview.

Leona Lewis Told Harrods FUR-Get It

Leona Lewis has proved she can’t be bought.

The “X Factor” winner and British chart topping singer turned down an offer of over a million dollars from Harrods Department Store boss Mohammed Fayed to open a summer sale.

Why on earth would a celebrity turn down that much money, you ask?

It’s because the department store sells fur.

Lewis has made her vegetarian lifestyle very public and is even in the process of starting her own line of vegan, cruelty free clothing with Topshop. The World’s Sexiest Vegetarian, voted by PETA fans, doesn’t wear or own any items made with animal products.

It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity who’s publicly acknowledged their beliefs not give in when money talks. Or, in the case of a million, money screaming.

Other female celebrities who have opened sales at Harrods in the past include Eva Longoria, Christina Aguilera, Lucy Liu, and vegetarian who can only cook mince meat Victoria Beckham.
