Naomi Campbell: And The Dennis Basso Fur Flies

A couple of months ago, we brought you the news that Naomi Campbell agreed to pose in a series of ads promoting fur clothing by fashion designer Dennis Basso.

Campbell had previously worked with PETA in “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaigns, but withdrew her support after the animal rights group targeted fashion designers.

Naomi added the statement, “I do like wearing fur and I still do.”

Celebrity animal rights activists are appalled and Paul McCartney has written a letter to Campbell, according to the New York Daily News.

According to Campbell, she and PETA have embraced each other with love and all is forgiven.

“Yes, I am still wearing fur,” said Campbell, “but I’ve made up with that guy from Peta.”

Don’t know what Campbell means by “made up with” but we’re sure flashing the former coat of an animal for vain fashion purposes takes a lot more than a kiss and hug for anyone-PETA person or not-to get over.

Michelle Obama Vegetable Garden Tour (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, September 5th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Gardening, Politicians, Videos.

First Lady Michelle Obama gives a tour of the White House vegetable garden while offering some commentary on what led to her decision to create it.

Like most moms, Mrs. Obama wanted the fam to eat healthier, but found time constraints got in the way.

The garden is just one of the many ways Michelle found time to improve the Obamas diet, including “adding more fruits and vegetables,” sitting down with the family to enjoy a meal “a couple of times a week”, eating out a “little bit less,” and “eliminating processed and sugary foods.”

Moby performs at the Paleo Festival in Nyon

“Well… not to tell my own environmental credentials… but I don’t know how I could live a more green life. I don’t drive a car, I take public transportation, I am a vegan, I try whenever possible to eat locally organically-grown produce. I live in an apartment building, which is so much more environmentally responsible than living in a house. I try very hard to be as environmentally responsible as possible.”

“But the only way that environmentally responsible actions have any sort of like meaningful impact is the cumulative aspect of it. Me being environmentally responsible means nothing if I am the only one doing it. Me being environmentally responsible is very very meaningful if a hundred million people are doing it. So I will never brag about my environmental credentials, because I am just one person. If I can get a hundred million people to do similar things, then I can say that I have been a good force for change.”

—-Moby, during an interview about his concert series in Europe, Play To Stop, meant to raise awareness on climate change.

Man v Food Adam Richman Does Vegetarian Challenge At Home

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, September 5th, 2009 in Food & Drink, TV Hosts.

Los Angeles Screening Of Overture Films Paper Heart - Red Carpet

If you’ve ever tuned into Man v. Food on the Travel Channel, you know the show is anything but promoting of a vegetarian, healthy, everything in moderation lifestyle.

Host Adam Richman samples food from different American cities before arriving at a spot to do a big eating challenge.

As you might guess, most of the food and challenges don’t involved counting the number of carrots you can down in 10 minutes.

But according to The Guardian, Richman balances his death eating challenges at work by eating vegetarian at home.

“But I know a couple of things about Adam Richman. I know he works out like a bastard before and after every episode. I know when he’s not doing the show he maintains a strictly vegetarian lifestyle. I don’t know that all the regulars in the diners and restaurants he visits are similarly vigilant. When Adam Richman’s back to his broccoli and his StairMaster, they’ll still be shovelling down food. Which isn’t to say I won’t be watching when he takes on the 12-egg omelette challenge.”

Anyone have knowledge of the validity of this statement? Does Richman attempt to purify his arteries at home?
