Sienna Miller Takes Up Gardening, Dumps Men: Sorry Guys

Sienna Miller Presents Boss Orange Fragrance

Balthazar Getty begone!

Sienna Miller has a new love in her life and it’s gardening.

The 27-year old actress who has just finished filming GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, has been doing nothing but hoeing these days.

“It’s all about my veggies,” Sienna said. “Forget men, parties and jet-setting!”

“I have got a cottage and a garden at home in London and I’m growing vegetables for the first time in my life. I can’t wait to get back to my garden.”

The source article says Sienna is an “avowed vegetarian,” but we haven’t uncovered any other sources saying she is.

However, home grown veggies is certainly the start of a healthier body and sustainable planet. There’s no fuel involved in transporting those tomatoes to the kitchen!

Of course, we’d gladly take Sienna into the veg club. Do you think she’ll join us? Is she already a secret member?

Christian Bale and his wife arrive at Los Angeles Airport.

Christian Bale said that although he had been a vegetarian since 7, he went on a meat eating rampage after viewing Life Is Beautiful.  But at least he’s sporting a nice animal rights shirt at the LAX airport.

Sea Shepherd was founded by Paul Watson, the same dude who runs the helm on the Animal Planet whale saving series Whale Wars.

According to green gossip site, Ecorazzi.com, Bale has been spotted in this shirt before.

Either he’s a Sea Shepherd lover or has a favorite shirt similar to Linus’ blanket that he just can’t do without.

We’re hoping for the first of the two options and that Christian cares about saving whales as much as Captain Watson and his Whale Wars crew does.

Now if we can just keep him on the veg path…

Screening Of Home At Stella McCartneys Store - Arrivals

The screening of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Home went well at Stella McCartney‘s West Hollywood store.

Several eco-stars were there for the event, including Emily Deschanel, who gave the following advice for being greener:

“Reusing is as important as recycling. Don’t forget to bring your own bag when shopping. Keep one in the car. Buy natural products. I’m picking up an amazing belt of Stella’s that I bought. It’s non-leather. The tanning process is terrible for the environment. There are so many things to do…”

Of course we know our gal Emily’s vegan, which does more for the environment than taking all the cars off the road! Wonder why she didn’t bring it up?

Guests were served organic vegan food and sipped on organic Stella wine while watching the film.

If you weren’t on the Stella Home screening invite list (we know, it sucks), you can host a screening in your own home.

From now until June 14th, you can view the entire Home documentary from your computer.

It’s too beautiful for words, so all we can say is go “full screen” mode when watching!

20th Annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony - Show

Okay, so it’s no secret The Pretenders’ singer is a vegan and animal rights activist, but the Independent’s article “My Secret Life” reveals a few facts you may not know about Chrissie Hynde.

Chrissie’s secrets include life changing vegetarian moments and a love for greener, public transportation.

The moment that changed me for ever … was becoming a vegetarian aged 17; my whole life changed. I spent a lot of time hanging out in the woods near my house and felt a connection to the birds and trees.

My real-life villain is … McDonald’s.

I drive … a Smart car but don’t use it much. My favourite ride is the bus; I like to get involved in the human pageantry.

2008 Summer TCA Tour - Day 3

To kick off the season, the Whale Wars crew celebrated and mingled with Discovery Channel and Animal Planet Executives at Arianna Huffington’s home.

Vegan Mini-Cheeseburgers were the hors d oeuvres for the day.

It’s almost dinner time for some of you and we’re sorry if you’re reading this before logging off your computer and going home for the day, but still have an hour’s commute to get there.

Captain Paul Watson and his crew eat vegan during the show’s adventures, which consists of numerous tactics to prevent Japanese whalers from killing whales in the name of research.

The second season of Whale Wars premiers today at 9 PM E/P on Animal Planet, so there’s still time to make your own vegan mini-cheeseburgers before the show starts.

Premiere Of Tetro - Arrivals

Alicia Silverstone is just one of the celebrities that have written to Nobu restaurants, saying they can no longer dine at the establishment because Nobu continues to serve endangered bluefin tuna.

Jemima Khan, Laura Bailey, Charlize Theron, Zac Goldsmith, Sting and Trudie Styler have all added their signatures to the letter.

“The possibility that the magnificent bluefin tuna, one of the fastest creatures on the planet, could be extinct in as little as four years is a tragedy. Continuing to serve bluefin leaves Nobu vulnerable to public criticism and lagging behind Moshi Moshi, Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Itsu and numerous others,” they wrote.

If Gordon Ramsay has stopped serving it in his restaurants, you know Nobu’s got to be living in the dark ages in terms of ethical eating.

The celebrities are asking that bluefin tuna be removed completely from Nobu’s menu.

A spokesperson for Nobu made this statement:

“The consumption of this fish is a cultural institution in Japan and there is still an enormous demand for this delicacy at all our restaurants. In the specific case of the menus at our London restaurants it should be noted that the statement that informs diners that the tuna served is Bluefin was included at the behest of Greenpeace, with whom we have continual dialogue. We are also currently looking at Australian farm-raised tuna as an alternative.”

Replacing one endangered fish with another one that will, ultimately, become threatened if people continue to consume it. Sounds fishy.

How about getting the smell out completely and taking all fish off the menu?
