Pink is officially pissed at the Prince.

When singer Pink asks a question, she expects to get a response. And if five years later, you haven’t replied, don’t think she’ll forget about it.

Feel sorry for the next date that doesn’t return her phone call.

Prince William once asked Alecia Moore, or Pink as we know her, if she would perform at his 21st birthday bash. She turned him down and questioned his stance on hunting. Five years to date, he hasn’t spoke up and she wants to know why.

“It’s a bit rude, isn’t it?” she said on TeenMusic.com.

Being the animal rights activist she is, Pink had other issues with some stuff going on where Big Ben’s home sits. Like the fact that bearskins on the palace guards’ hats weren’t made from synthetic material. This question she posed for the Prince’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

You guessed it, it was like grandmother like grandson.

The fact the she challenged the royal family of all people really doesn’t make her blink twice.

“I want to make people think about their responsibilities. I don’t care if they have a crown.”

Tom Morello is just looking to be a part of the club, but he technically doesn’t meat (pun, pun, pun) all the criteria. The former Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave member who now does his solo thing as the musical act The Nightwatchman, says he’s been a vegetarian (flexitarian) on and off since college (he’s 44 now).

But currently he’s eating fish (so that makes him a pescatarian?) and gives into the lust that many men can’t turn down: Breast. Turkey breast, that is.

“IVE BEEN A VEGETARIAN ON AND OFF SINCE I ENTERED COLLEGE AND READ A BOOK CALLED “ANIMAL LIBERATION” BY AN AUTHOR WHO’S LAST NAME IS SINGER. IT CONVINCED ME OF THE IMMORALITY OF PARTICIPATING IN EATING MEAT THAT CAME THROUGH THE HORRIFIC FACTORY FARM SYSTEM. WHEN I FIRST BECAME A VEGETARIAN I HAD NEVER MET ANOTHER VEGETARIAN AND DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT SO IT BASICALLY LEFT ME WITH SALAD AND CHOCOLATE AND FRENCH FRIES AS THE ONLY THINGS LEFT ON THE MENU. I BECAME VERY SICK. KIND OF WENT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EATING MEAT AND NOT EATING MEAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW YEARS. I STILL EAT FISH REGULARILY AND ON THANKSGIVING CAN BE LURED TO EAT TURKEY.”

What the heck? If he’s eating fish, he’s not technically vegetarian and if he’s eating turkey, he’s still not pescatarian. Wouldn’t it be easier for him to just say he doesn’t eat red meat and tries to reduce other meat consumption?

Oh well. Paul McCartney called for Meat Free Mondays in hopes of getting everyone to reduce the impact of meat consumption on the environment even if they didn’t give it up completely. Morello is making an effort, even if it’s not the greatest one.

Someone should really show him the Tofurky section of Whole Foods next month though.

We just found a fantastic Time Magazine article on Ingrid Newkirk where she answers 10 questions from people all around the country about PETA, vegetarianism, and animal rights, just to name a few.

Some highlights include her feelings about Michael Vick, who was sentenced to prison for his role in dog fighting.

“I have spoken to Michael, and I know he’s contrite. I believe when we see him emerge from jail that he’s going to have a strong message for inner-city youth,” she said.

She also addresses that ridiculous idea that Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream should start using breast milk in their products after discovering a Swiss restaurant had done the same.

“It isn’t very feasible at all, but it was great fun to suggest it to Ben & Jerry’s, who also knew it was a joke. What was serious was that television stations listened to our reasons why making anything out of cow’s milk is unkind. Calves are taken away from their mothers and used for veal. We drink the milk meant for those little calves.”

Oh, yes, of course…We TOTALLY knew it was a joke.

Go here to read the rest of the questions and learn how Ingrid and the folks at PETA have a million dollar reward to the first scientist who can come up with in vitro meat, meat grown from cells from a small group of animals in the laboratory, which means no more killing and more cleanliness. Quick, grab your geek friends from college and high school and find some way to convince them to do this and split the reward with you.
