When a celebrity associates themselves with a cruelty-free product you can’t help but get excited, even if the star isn’t vegetarian.

Lush is a collection of handmade cosmetics that are never tested on animals, vegetarian, and some are even vegan. The UK company’s products have been used by stars such as Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, and Jude Law.

Yes, Jude Law. Cosmetics just aren’t for the gals, you know. Lush has shaving cream, plus all sorts of moisturizers an eco-friendly man needs. Because even though nicking yourself with a razor may hurt, the pain an animal feels in a cosmetic laboratory is far worse.

Lush cosmetics make a great stocking stuffer for holidays gifts this year. Be sure to send this link to friends and family so they’ll know exactly what you’re looking for.

Marla Maples Sticks To Mostly Vegetarian Diet, Excludes Dairy

Marla Maples is one of those actresses that could play cougar like Demi Moore if she wanted to. Although she’s 45, she looks so hot she could tweak her birthdate and no one would bat an eyelash.

Donald Trump’s ex prefers to stay away from dairy, instead sipping on Ayurvedic teas. This flexitarian may make you a tad bit jealous. She doesn’t naturally crave healthy-she’s just finds it easy to fight to urge to eat junk.

“I have a lot of willpower,” she said.

Moby’s First Chef At Teany Now Has Own Vegetarian Restaurant

Amanda Cohen isn’t quite a celebrity-yet. But with her degrees of separation to Moby and a possible sighting of John Norris, VJ for MTV, at her new vegetarian restaurant called Dirt Candy, she just might become a chef to the stars.

Cohen was the first chef at Teany, a vegan restaurant formerly owned by Moby. Moby hasn’t been into Dirt Candy yet, but between him and Peter Rojas making the rounds in NY, we’re sure it won’t be long before he samples the grub.

Cohen’s almost vegetarian (she eats fish), and says what sets her apart from other vegetarian restaurants in the NY area is that she feels the other restaurants cater more to solely vegan customers.

“They are very similar and the truth is that most of them call themselves vegetarian restaurants, but they’re really not vegetarian: they’re vegan. And that’s not the way I like to eat. I like cheese and dairy. And I just don’t enjoy them as much as the other restaurants. They are more or less supporting a lifestyle and a diet. I’m really not trying to do that. I’m just trying to make good vegetarian food… I don’t use a lot of mock meat. But there’s nothing wrong with them…I think those restaurants have their place and lots of people like them. But they’re not my style and I don’t think they are as innovative as they could be.”

'Strictly Come Dancing' Celebrities Attend Book Signing

The UK Mirror published 50 backstage secrets of the contestants of “Strictly Come Dancing”, a UK television series on BBC1 where celebrities are paired with professional dancers and dance off in competition.

Of course, by looking at some of the “secrets” it’s easy to tell some are obviously fake or intended to be humorous, such as #41: The glitter spray gets everywhere. The crew go home every week inadvertently sparkling.

One particularly humorous “secret” is that of contestant Heather Small, soul singer known for being in the band M People as well as her solo album, Proud.

#47: Heather Small had her shoes made from Teflon because as a strict vegan she refused to wear the leather ones.

Ha, ha! We’re sure Heather has no problem keeping her clothes pressed, then.

Russell Simmons Shows How To Pick Up Chicks With Yoga

Russell Simmons said he originally started yoga because he wanted to meet good looking gals who were doing the same. Soon after, he realized there are so many other benefits besides watching the ladies bend themselves into pretzels. It’s probably safe to say he still gets a lot of female eye candy rewards for going to the studio. We’re sure it’s less than 100%, but not by much. Watch the video below to watch vegan Russell demonstrate yoga. Extra pointers if you see the bottle of Smart Water at his side!
