Turkeys can’t talk (at least not in a manner we can understand yet), so Emily Deschanel, or Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan as most of us know her on “Bones,” will be talking for them.

David Boreanaz’s co-star will be a guest speaker at Farm Sanctuary’s Celebration For The Turkeys in California on November the 11th.

Since so many turkeys are consumed around this time of year, the event is meant to raise awareness of the abuse that occurs on farms and in factories.

Although she doesn’t have any turkey pets (as of yet), Emily is a sponsor of Stacey, a pig that resides on the Sanctuary in California and she’s sponsored other animals for friends.

With her star status, combined with intelligence and eloquence, she may very well have the power to convince people to pardon more turkeys that all presidents combined.

The lovely Hollaback girl Gwen Stefani and her hubby Gavin Rossdale went to a Halloween party with their children and decided to play big kids and dress themselves up as bacon and egg.

That’s right. Bacon, for Gavin, the VEGETARIAN. We can only hope he was imitating Lightlife’s Smart Bacon or some other veggie substitute. Of course, Gwen’s costume could have been something worse, like fur. But it would have made things stressful for the couple when it came time to split the candy. The pork costume wearing ex Bush frontman is vocal about the fur industry and was once quoted as saying:

“The person I love would never wear fur. Fur just makes me think of shallow women who have no conscience. The fur industry belongs to a time when people were selfish beyond belief. If you were some ancient tribal cheiftain, and there was not a department store nearby 350 years ago, I’d understand. But now, we have synthetic fibers,and it’s not necessary. The elitism of fur makes me wanna puke.”

The elitism of bacon costumes makes us wanna puke. Hopefully next scary season Gavin will dress up as a humble tempeh block.

Thanks Ecorazzi

Chrissie Hynde answered some questions for the readers of Blender.com. One reader mentioned that Hynde was once arrested during a PETA protest and wondered if you could get a good vegan meal in jail. (We wonder why this person asked the question…Planning ahead for something?) Chrissie said she didn’t know because she hadn’t stayed long enough to eat much. But in her short experience, she doesn’t think so.

We guess it all just depends on which prison you end up in. PETA published a list of the best vegetarian prisons, but Chrissie only served a short time in jail, so she never got to hear the words, “bon Appetit,” behind big time bars.

All this sparks an interesting question. There’s been discussion as to whether or not prisoners should be allowed to demand a vegetarian or vegan meal when the prison isn’t one of Peta’s top 10. In other words, should prisons (and taxpayers) go out of their way to ensure those in prison (who obviously have had other rights, such as voting, taken away) get meatless food even if it’s purely for preference and not for special dietary (allergy) reasons.

Arguably, switching prisoners to an all veg diet might even cut down on lifelong complications, such as diabetes, for those who are serving long term sentences (and those who the state is paying the most money for).

Of course most of us vegetarians will say yes. But what about you other guys? Flexitarians, any opinions?

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.”
