Vegetarian Star

Actor and comedian Jimmy Fallon will be replacing Late Night host Conan O’Brien next spring on March 2nd, and he’s picked The Roots to be his house band.

Scratch, Rahzel, Black Thought, ?uestlove, Hub, and Malik B. all once recorded a video advocating vegetarianism. The band has been through some changes, Black Thought and ?uestlove are the only great men remaining who appeared in that video and it’s not certain whether other band members are vegetarian, but The Roots has generally been thought of, as a veg band.

Incidentally, Kevin Eubanks, a musician on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show, is also a vegetarian, and was voted the sexiest male vegetarian in 2007.

Break out the hummus and pita chips. Late night TV just keeps getting veggier.

Pamela Anderson was presented with a copy of Meat the Truth, a documentary on the effects of the meat industry and the environment she participating in making, at the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam earlier this month.

If you remember us telling you, Anderson wrote a letter giving sex tips to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands before leaving for the trip.

When Al Gore presented An Inconvenient Truth, some say he forgot to highlight an important component for saving the world from global climate change: vegetarianism.

Meat the Truth, by Karen Soeters (Director, Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation) is the documentary that picks up where An Inconvenient Truth left off. According to the creators of Meat the Truth, the livestock industry is responsible for 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions and that’s 40% more than the emissions created by all the cars, trucks, trains, boats and planes added together.

Here’s a fun fact for you frequent fliers: If all Americans would not eat meat for one day a week, it would save 90 million plane tickets from New York to Los Angeles in terms of carbon emissions.

The video below contains more facts as well as a statement made by comedian Bill Maher. Several other celebrities helped make, Meat the Truth, including Maher, James Cromwell, Emily Deschanel, and Hal Sparks.

Actress Kristen Wiig has been around the block quite a few times tickling our funny bone.

It’s her fourth season on Saturday Night Live, but her CV includes Knocked Up, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and most recently, Ghost Town.

Like the rest of us normal humans, she has an insane sweet and junk food tooth that drives her to the likes of Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms, lemon cupcakes, and “hot, melted cheesy sandwiches.”

But she’s only diet naughty once a week. For the other 6 days it’s tofu and jogging in Central Park. We’re not sure about the jogging, but the tofu part doesn’t sound like punishment at all.

From an interview with Women’s Health:

“I live between Central Park and the Hudson River, and those are two great places to walk and run. I also do yoga. A bunch of us have a private class once a week. When I’m working, I try to get something in a couple times a week. I’m a vegetarian; I eat a lot of tofu and soy. I drink a lot of water, and I’m addicted to cranberry juice. I do have a splurge day once a week when I can eat whatever I want. It’s good, because it helps you stay on track the rest of the week. In the beginning, I ate anything I could see. But it’s funny: The more you do it, the less you end up splurging.”

On Bravo TV’s Project Runway, designers are not permitted to use fur in any of their collections. A contestant from Season 4 circumvented this by using human hair. Not exactly what fashion consultant Tim Gunn was advocating, but at least the human survives the ordeal of having its fur removed.

With so many cruelty-free clothing lines out there, it’s becoming easier to make responsible decisions regarding the wardrobe.

It’s also easier to forget there’s still work to be done in the mainstream fashion industry, where fur, leather, and other animal products are used regularly. It isn’t enough to shun these designers by not purchasing their products. The ultimate goal is to convince the entire fashion industry to eliminate these materials altogether.

And that’s where Tim Gunn steps in. A mainstream television personality with a show that’s religiously followed by fashionistas everywhere, he’s recently teamed up with PETA to record a video urging designers who currently use fur to stop.

“Any designer in the fashion industry who does not want to watch the PETA video and see exactly what happens to animals and how they’re treated and how the product that they use comes to the marketplace I believe is egregiously irresponsible,” Gunn said. “It is critically important that we all be educated about these matters and then make choices.”

You can view Tim Gunn’s video, as well as watch a Q & A session with him over at PETA’s blog.

Yes, most of us dropped a tiny tear at the news of Bambi’s mother dying, but other than that, unless you grew up vegetarian or on a farm or ever worked in a meat market, you were probably shielded from the horrors of learning how the food on your plate got there.

In contrast, when “Bones” actress Emily Deschanel was growing up, she heard pigs slaughtered regularly.

“I was about 10 years old on an island and they killed the pigs right behind where we lived. And you could hear them screaming. That was a pretty terrible thing to hear when I was so young. And that just kind of sort of started [me] thinking, ‘How can people treat another animal that way and if we can live without doing that then why wouldn’t we live that way?'”

The video of her discussing her experience is featured at SupremeMasterTV
