Vegetarian Star

“I definitely have moments when I come home and shut the door and think that all I want to do is sing. But then I think, wait a minute — how are people going to hear my music? The bottom line is that if I can inspire, create awareness and help someone or an animal in any way, then it’s all been worth it”

—-Leona Lewis, in an interview with The Big Issue magazine.

Leona’s definitely doing her job, as she never fails to bring up her vegetarian diet and lifestyle in interviews and public appearances.

Leona’s sophomore album, Echo, is set to debut November 17.

Pamela Anderson will debut her animal and eco friendly clothing line, A*Muse, during New Zealand Fashion Week, September 22-25.

The designs she collaborated with Richie Rich were originally set to debut at New York’s Fashion Week from September 10-17, but Pamela set her sights on New Zealand for its green reputation.

Rich, who designed the Heatherette label, explained in more detail.

“Pamela is such an advocate for Peta [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals],” Rich said. “I love animals. We wanted to produce a range using as many globally friendly fabrics as we could, in the spirit of being good to the world. That is part of the reason we want to kick it off in New Zealand, which is so lush and green. It goes with the vibe we are feeling. At the same time the Kiwi scene is fun and the line is fun.”

Rich originally admitted it was hard for him not to use fur in the collection.

Hopefully, with the guidance of Pamela, Rich now sees how easy it is to be chic and caring.

Jason Mraz took a moment to Tweet in agreement with the readers of YELP, a website with restaurant reviews.

“stoked that www.cafeflourish.com won #1 vegan restaurant LA on YELP. It’s so good. I would have voted for them too.”

Someone at Cafe Flourish is all about the love, cause the menu is nothing but hookin’ up.

Love Bites, Love Salads, Sandwiches that Love You, Big Love Bites and Be-Love Corn Crusted Pizzas make up the main menu sections.

Our favorite is the “Snuggle Fest”-Soy hot dogs wrapped in a single “blanket” with ketchup, Dijon, “mayo” & sweet pickle relish with a side Caesar salad.

Better lovin’ requires you get in touch with your spiritual side.

The “Amen for Almond Hummus” is hummus topped with a chunky olive tapenade with sun-dried tomato flax crackers for scooping.

Grab your reusable shopping bags and take the Metro headed towards 1600 N. Pennsylvania Ave. to visit the Farmer’s Market at the White House.

A permit was approved this week for the nonprofit Fresh Farm Markets to close Vermont Avenue Northwest between H and I Streets in order to clear the way for a Farmer’s Market near the President’s home.

The market opens next week on September 17 and will run until October 29.

It’s not certain whether the Obamas will make an appearance at the markets, but Sam Kass, an assistant chef at the White House has showed up at a community meeting recently to show support.

Last August, Barack Obama said he wanted to get a farmer’s market near the White House.

One initiative passed, many more to go.

Heather Mills is not happy with the conditions pigs endure on farms in Australia, and is calling for Aussies to either buy free range pork or no pork at all.

“My heart breaks for the sad lives most pigs in Australia endure before being slaughtered,” Heather said.

“If someone kept a dog in this way they would be prosecuted.”

Heather is asking for help from animal activist Jaylene Musgrave to help change laws that will improve factory farm conditions for pigs.

Interesting that Heather is not only supporting discontinuing the consumption of pigs, but eating pigs raised in better conditions as well.

As a vegan and activist, is Heather taking a good approach realizing not everyone will stop eating pork?

Or should she be pushing vegetarianism completely?

Now would be a great time for Heather to promote her Organic Pork Style Sausages from Redwood Wholefoods Company.

Steve-O has gone completely vegan, according to his website, steveo.com.

After toying with vegetarianism and pescatarianism, Steve-O, who’s real name is Stephen Glover, had made the official plunge into a total animal-free world.

“When I first became involved with PETA, it was on an “issue-by-issue” basis- they interviewed me in my old apartment about animal abuse in the circus as I sat on a leather sofa,” the Jackass star writes.

“At that time I was a meat-eater, and told them I believe that if anyone is going to wear the flesh or fur of an animal, they should at least have the decency to eat the meat of that animal. That comment led to my involvement in PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign.”

Steve can currently be seen in PETA’s Cruelty Doesn’t Fly ad campaign where Pamela Anderson strips potential passengers of fur, leather, and wool.

“The following year I chose to stop eating meat (and stop wearing or purchasing anything made out of leather), however, citing reports that Jesus Christ fed lots of people with fish, I continued to eat fish. Most recently, for just over a month now, I’ve kept to a strictly vegan diet and I’ve not felt “hard-done-by” at all. I have been really enjoying making a project out of seeking out an extremely healthy diet of raw, organic, vegan foods- and I plan on continuing to do so.”

Steve’s currently not out convert everyone to veganism, and says “a vegan diet isn’t for everyone,” adding “It’s not my choice to try to tell people how to live their lives (not anymore, anyway!).”
