Both Prince Fielder and Tony LaRussa have big balls.

Big baseBALLS, that is.

LaRussa is the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and co-founded the Animal Rescue Foundation with the wifey.

Prince Fielder became vegetarian after his wife gave him permission to be with a Skinny Bitch and he recently showed the world how meatless men do it by winning the All Star Home Derby competition and setting a record for the longest home run-over 500 feet!

So between the two vegetarian men, who would you rather…

Julie And Julia: At Least One Didn’t Get Vegetarians

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 in Chefs, Film & TV, Not So Vegetarian.

Julie And Julia Screening At The Paley Center For Media

Planning to see the blockbuster hit Julie & Julia?

Before you go, you should know, when it came to vegetarians, Julia Child was a little…well, just read this quote from a 1999 interview with PEOPLE magazine.

“Personally, I don’t think pure vegetarianism is a healthy lifestyle. It’s more fear of food—that whole thing that red meat is bad for you. And then there are people who don’t eat meat because it’s against their morals. Well, there’s nothing you can do with people like that. I’ve often wondered to myself: Does a vegetarian look forward to dinner, ever? “”

Well, then…we suppose a vegetarian never looked forward to any dinner Julia Child made.

All you East Coast BabyCakes vegan bakery fans, listen up!

Do you have a sister, brother, or cousin in California that keeps bugging the crap out of you to send some of those vegan, gluten-free cupcakes and cookies to their West Coast pad?

Soon you’ll be able to stop answering their phone calls and text them a little message that reads, “Get it yourself!” as owner Erin McKenna plans to expand her New York city bakery to downtown Los Angeles.

From a recent interview with vegnews.com:

VegNews: What made you choose LA?
Erin McKenna: We noticed most of our shipments were headed to Los Angeles, and realized the bakery was exactly what LA needed. [BabyCakes NYC] will be located on 6th and Main, which is downtown. We really love how eclectic it is down there—lots of creativity and diversity. Plus, the buildings are old so we feel at home.

VN: How will you split your time between the two locations?
EM: I’ll be mostly in LA for the first six months until I think the bakery is ready to lose its training wheels. I’m afraid I’m going to miss New York, but I’ll be enjoying the sunshine and laidback vibe of LA. I have my core staff already hired, but I’ll be looking for frosting boys and girls! Positive attitude is a must!

Did you catch last night’s season finale of NYC Prep?

If you’ve been following the Bravo reality TV series that features NYC’s elite high school students spending their time partying and attending charitable events, you know that Taylor DiGiovanni represents the vegan crew!

What’s even better, is that Taylor gets props from her crowd.

Fellow NYC Prep star Camille Isobel Hughes described her by saying, “Taylor’s the most unique person I’ve ever met. She just does whatever she wants whenever she wants it, and is totally nonchalant.”

Oh, yeah.

Never met a vegan who just followed the crowd.

Check out Taylor’s video describing herself.

Nia Long Gets Skinned On The Subway In PETA Anti-Fur Ad

Also an advertisement for photoshopping, the latest PETA anti-fur ad features actress Nia Long in her birthday suit on the subway.

Seems like the photoshop user got a little crazy and wiped away her belly button. And chiseled off some of her calf.

Were they trying to emphasize how animals are skinned to get fur by scraping away some of Nia?

“Be comfortable in your own skin,” reads the ad. “And let animals keep theirs.”

The actress who’s had roles in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Third Watch, and Are We There Yet?  has given up some of her flesh. Now, there’s no reason for an animal to give any of theirs.
