We featured a post earlier today on “Real Housewives” star Bethenny Frankel teaming up with Pepperage Farm foods to reinvent traditional party dips to healthier versions.

Here’s a video of Bethenny talking about two of the dips, Hummus and Blue Cheese. The secret ingredient to the hummus dip? Soy sauce!

Thanks to Scott for the heads up on the tip!

Veronicas’ Jess Origliasso Says Screw Fur, PETA Loves It

TheBongoVirus.com New Years Eve Party - Arrivals

Jess Origliasso, member of the pop duo The Veronicas was doing green and good when she was discovered by PETA agents and asked to do a naked anti-fur ad.

Origliasso was riding the New York subway wearing a faux fur jacket that read, “F*** Fur” painted on the back.

Anyone with a message this blatant is clearly PETA ad talent, so they approached with the idea which she is strongly considering.

“Lisa and I support any foundation that is willing to educate and make a stand for animal liberation,” she told Confidential.

“Death for these animals is a horror story – the most common method used for killing foxes is electrocution. I can’t speak for Lisa, but I admire the approach to the eye-catching photo shoots PETA do to get the important message out there.

“I would definitely love to be involved in something like that.”

If she chooses to accept the offer, she’ll be following the footsteps of fellow celebrity Aussie ladies who have worked with the organization like Natalie Imbruglia, Sophie Monk, and Missy Higgins.

Bethenny Frankel Serves Up Hummus With Pepperidge Farm

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Reality TV.

15th Annual

Bethenny Frankel, celebrity natural food chef and star of Bravo Network’s, “The Real Housewives of New York City,” has teamed up with Pepperidge Farms to encourage football fanatics to have healthy, wholesome snacks on game day.

Too bad they won’t get to watch the veggie porn ad as well.

Frankel, although not known as a vegetarian, has long been an advocate for healthier eating choices and started Bethenny Bakes, a company that offers egg and dairy free baked goods and custom tailored meals for clients with special diets, such as vegan.

One of the recipes she’s offered for Game Day is a vegan Lemon Basil Hummus Dip served with Pepperidge Farm® Baked Naturals Toasted Wheat Crisps.

It’s great that Bethenny has chosen to make a traditionally vegetarian dish mainstream by suggesting it as Super Bowl grub.

Now maybe more husky, burly men will include chickpeas on the shopping list with Coors beer during the next big sports night.

Not long ago, it was discovered that a Liverpool McDonald’s restaurant had pictures of Paul McCartney and other ex Beatles on its wall. The news caused quite a stir with McCartney being a vegetarian who obviously wouldn’t support the fare served at McDonald’s.

Chrissie Hynde’s vegan Italian eatery, The Vegiterranean, has got it right though: Veg people in a veg restaurant.

If you’re lucky enough to dine there or even stop by and visit, you’ll find pictures of celebrities like Joss Stone, Morrisssey, Joaquin Phoenix, Paul McCartney, and even Chrissie herself on the wall of vegetarian fame.

O.A.R.’s Marc Roberge Says Turn The Fur Car Around

O.A.R front man Marc Roberge has recorded a Public Service Announcement against the fur industry.

Singer for the band known for it’s hits as “Love and Memories” and “Shattered (Turn The Car Around)” is the proud owner, along with his wife, of three dogs-two terrier mixes and an 11 year old pit bull-so it makes sense he’d want to speak out against an industry where in some places even cats and dogs are used and skinned alive. 

“I just find it so hard to believe that people find this practice acceptable at all, and they flaunt it,” Roberge said in an interview with PETA. “Makes me sick, to be honest. Do people crave attention that much? It is laughable that someone can’t see how barbaric wearing fur truly is.”

He advises the best way to get involved with helping animals is to volunteer at a shelter.

“My wife did that growing up and it definitely shaped a caring side of her that grows deeper every year.”
