In a sad, sad story where no one came out the winner, a chimpanzee has been shot to death after mauling a friend of his owner.

The chimp named Travis had starred in Coca-Cola and Old Navy commercials and also appeared on television pilots.

Travis had been cared for by owner Sandra Herold, and he was considered a pet and family member who would go along for car rides and open doors for people.

When Travis attacked Herold’s friend, she stabbed him in an attempt to get him to stop. When police arrived on the scene, Travis began attacking them too, and the chimp was eventually shot dead.

So many celebrities have spoken out against having wild animals like chimps as pets, as well as using them on television, most recently with actress Anjelica Huston protesting the use of apes in the entertainment industry. Perhaps if Travis had been sent to an animal sanctuary, no blood would have been shed.

Watch the video below for the clips from an Old Navy commercial Travis starred in, as well as conversation of the telephone call made to 911 when he attacked.

Vegan actress Alicia Silverstone is starring in “Time Stands Still,” a play by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Donald Margulies that’s playing at the Geffen Playhouse

“Time Stands Still” is about a photographer and reporter couple trying to regain a sense of normalcy after the photographer is injured in Iraq. Silverstone plays a friend of the couple.

The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles is surrounded by many vegetarian restaurants in the Westwood Village, like Native Foods. 

In addition, it has teamed up with California organic, sustainable vineyards for wine-tasting on Sundays, beginning on February 15.

Good thing, since Alicia is a committed vegan who most definitely needs to grab something delicious during the intermission.

“It was because of my wife. I was a guy who was compassionate to animals but not particularly involved in anything. I never wanted to be a vegetarian – I always thought vegetarians were hippies with too much free time. And then when I met my now wife and we started dating, she just opened my eyes to factory farming and a lot of stuff I’d never heard of.”

—-Cartoonist Dan Piraro, in an interview with Ecorazzi, on how he got involved with animal rights. Piraro’s works, which humorously portray vegetarian and animal rights issues, can be found on his website, Bizarro.com. He also blogs.

Perhaps one of the most vocal celebrity activist, singer Chrissie Hynde, joined in a protest against McDonald’s this week as part of PETA’s relaunching of their McCruelty campaign.

It’s been almost a decade since PETA spoke with McDonald’s, the fast food establishment that promised to treat its chickens better before slaughter. Since nothing has changed, PETA is going after them again.

Unlike modern methods of killing, which involved giving chickens a gas to put them to sleep, McDonald’s still slaughters chickens while being conscious and able to feel pain.

Chrissie held up her “McCruelty: I’m Hatin’ It” sign while PETA’s vice president Dan Matthew held her up.

“What happens if you fall and [hurt] yourself?” a security guard asked.

“Then I won’t be able to do my show tomorrow,” The Pretenders singer replied.

Hynde once said she pledged to remain on the earth until all McDonald’s had burned to the ground.

Wow. Talk about what’s been happening “since she’s been gone.”

Kelly Clarkson is vegetarian now and has been one for about a year.

During a recent interview with Trent FM UK, Kelly’s interviewer was talking about his experiences in Amarillo, Texas, where the world’s biggest steak-72 ounces-is served.

Kelly said, “My friends have kind of disowned me a bit in Texas because I’ve been a vegetarian for over a year now.”

Don’t worry Kelly. Fellow Idol winner Carrie Underwood knows your pain.

“You can’t be a vegetarian in Texas,” the interviewer jokingly objects.

“I tried it and it’s been really great…So a 72 ounce steak might make me barf,” Kelly continued. “It’s so much better now. I feel better,” she added.

The interviewer concluded by pleading with Kelly to “eat some steak, please,” telling her she was missing her nutrients. Ha! Smart gal Kelly responded that “you get enough nutrients [from things] like beans and everything.”

We’ve got Kelly Clarkson, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, and off the wagon trying to get back on Ruben Studdard in the veg American Idol club. 

Kelly’s new album, All I Ever Wanted, is set to be released in March.

Listen to the video to hear the interview and Kelly talk about her fake red carpet smile. The vegetarian part of the conversation starts around minute 4:45.

“Don’t let it overwhelm you or make it bigger than it is. Just pick a date, get organized (food shopping, etc.) and pledge to do thirty days meat-free. (Visit GoVeg.com for a free vegetarian starter kit.) And remember to take it one meal at a time. If you approach it like, “I can never eat meat again?” of course you’ll struggle. But if you just tell yourself, “Right now, for this meal, I’m going to eat something else,” you’ll make it through with flying colors.”
—author Rory Freedman, in an interview with Ecorazzi on how to get going towards vegetarianism.

While the effectiveness of throwing flour in a fur wearing celebrity’s face is questionable, PETA anti-fur campaigns do work!

Mariah Carey and Kim Cattrall have graciously donated their old fur coats to the latest campaign, “Fur Is a Drag,” premiering this Friday during London Fashion week.

The coats will be worn by actors in a satirical play about models on the fashion runway. The “models” will be cross dressers and the coats will be accessorized with paint and fur traps.

Ethical designer Stella McCartney will be providing the shoes, which we can only assume will be some pretty large sizes, considering the “queens” have feet bigger than the average lady’s.

Although Mariah and Kim wore fur in the past, it appears they’ve had a change in heart.

The Sex & The City star Kim Cattrall, opened a Harrod’s department store sale last summer, the same store Leona Lewis turned down over a million dollars to perform at because it sells fur.
