The guys in My Chemical Romance prove that you don’t have to be female to show off your good taste in vegan shoe fashion. Call it cruelty-free, call it ethical, heck, even call it vegan metrosexual.

Macbethfootwear.com has a video of Frank Iero walking backstage wearing a pair of black/cement synthetic Leather Manchester shoes.

Macbeth Footwear carries a variety of cruelty-free, vegan shoes, and is currently designing shoes for other stars such as Green Day, Bloc Party, and Muse.

Watch video below to see Frank sport his Manchesters. If you want to be cool like the rock stars, go to the Macbeth Footwear website and order some!

Australian vegan cutie Missy Higgins won the hearts of many in her home country; now she’s trekking across the U.S. winning American love as well. But just because she’s been living in the raw food hub of L.A. and becoming more Californian every day, she’ll waste no time reminding you she still remembers how they do it down under.

When asked by Blog Critics if she preferred a Vegemite sandwich or shrimp on a barbie, she responded, “Vegemite sandwich because I’m vegan and because we don’t call them shrimps, anyway, we call them prawns!”

Go Missy! Tell it like it really is! Also, thanks for telling them what’s the better option over both prawns and shrimp Barbie dolls or whatever.

Fun fact: Missy was the first girl to join the football team at her primary school. How cool is that?

“I’d rather eat my own testicles than reform the Smiths, and that’s saying something for a vegetarian.”

—-Morrissey, to Uncut Magazine, on getting back together on stage with The Smiths, a band he and Johnny Marr, rocked with in the 80s. The band supposedly broke up due to a lot of bickering between he and Johnny. Bummer. They couldn’t even find their veg lovin’ as common ground to stay together.

On another interesting note, Morrissey, once responded to the opening of a new animal research lab by saying, “If you like vivisection, go and be vivsectioned upon yourselves.” Eating one’s own, uh, reproductive goodies, comes pretty close to that.

Central Florida Green Guide had the wonderful opportunity of interview Daryl Hannah recently. Sure, she’s an environmentalist, activist, outspoken veg gal who seems to be an overachiever when it comes to the above issues and it might be a little intimidating for the rest of use mere non famous mortals. No excuse, according to her. The easier way to get involved with becoming greener is to just “jump in the deep end.”

“I would say – go for it! Jump in the deep end! It’s great in here, and there are so many fantastic options available to consumers now that really work. Get the toxic cleaners out from under your sink and the toxic chemical detergents out of the laundry room. Buy organic food from your local farmers market. Change your light bulbs to compact fluorescents. Start a garden. Start composting.”

Going meatless is another way to get yourself greener. She became vegetarian after she realized she could no longer dissociate herself from the food she was eating.

“I became a vegetarian at age 11… and I just couldn’t gnaw on the flesh of creatures anymore. It grossed me out. The health and environmental benefits turned out to be a bonus! Often I find that when I do something from pure compassionate place, aspects I never considered seem to benefit as well – illustrating how we are truly interconnected to all life. The meat industry not only suffers from inhumane practices but is also complicit as the 3rd largest contributor to our global warming crisis.”

Ah, the old tradition of asking for forgiveness by offering a gift. So not long ago, Gwyneth Paltrow did a very, very naughty advertisement. Well, it wasn’t really naughty, but it did offend quite a few vegetarian and vegan people.

Unlike Leona Lewis who said FUR-get it, Paltrow posed in fur lined boots and bags for the clothing line Tod’s. Known for her macrobiotic and vegetarian diet, she angered PETA and was rumored to upset her fellow veg friends like Stella McCartney. Now it looks as if she is offering a gift of a recipe for vegan pancakes to make it up to all of us.

She put a website up, called Goop (which incidentally, is the descriptive word that might come to mind when you think of pancake batter). Goop is all about goop good food: restaurants, recipes, advice, etc.

“I’ve got a thing for pancakes. This combination of nutty buckwheat and sweet, sticky banana is just great. You could sprinkle chopped walnuts on the pancakes as they’re cooking for a full-on pancake-meets-banana bread experience. These happen to be vegan, but don’t taste like it.”

Hmff. We don’t know what she’s implying by “don’t taste like it.” If “vegan” had a taste, we’d want to buy bulk size flavorings of it. But it does sound like a really great recipe, plus lots of more boring healthy information such as “calcium, vitamins, iron, gluten-freeness,” and so forth. If you’d like to accept Gwyneth’s offer of apology, keep going for the recipe. (more…)

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.
