Chris Rock And Nia Long Visit fuse TV's "Hip Hop Shop"

Chris Rock was on the The Jay Leno Show recently when he started talking about Michael Vick.

According to girliegirlarmy.com, Chris said:

“What the hell did Michael Vick do, man? A dog, a pit bull ain’t even a real dog. A pit bull, that’s the white stuff. Dogs are white mans best friend – dogs have never been good to black people.”

Wow.

Talk about cruel, offensive, and plain stupid.

We bet the inner city kids benefiting from the anti-dog fighting outreach efforts of the Humane Society would say their pit bulls are their best friends and they’re thankful someone other than Chris Rock taught them about how to love a pet.

But heck, why are we even paying attention to Chris Rock?

He’s not even a real comedian anyway.

FOX Summer TCA

A future episode of Bones is set to highlight factory farming.

The Tough Man In The Tender Chicken, which airs Thursday November 5, has Emily Deschanel‘s character Dr. Temperance Brennan and her crime fighting partner Booth discovering the remains of a local farmer set to inherit a chicken factory farm that’s been aggressively protested for inhumane conditions and animal cruelty.

In addition, facial reconstruction lab worker Angela, played by Michaela Conlin, is bothered by the farm’s practices and decides to launch an animal rights campaign of her own.

Has Angela also given up chicken and other meat?

For all you Twinkie eating Tallahassee wannabes, here’s the scoop on Woody Harrelson‘s wardrobe on the Zombieland set.

Woody the raw vegan is all into eco friendly and sustainable, so of course his clothing on the movie had to be too.

According to Magali Guidasci, costume designer for the set, “all woody’s wardrobe from head to toe, even though it does not look like for his character purpose, was made our outsourced VEGAN whenever possible organic, or natural fiber or recycle material.”

Take Woody’s hat, jeans and boots, for example.

Woody Hat:
Repurposed Tarp Raw made by The Raw Deal. Sizes come in small-XX Large and are priced for around $29.

Woody Jeans:
Organic, sustainable jeans made by Of The Earth. Besides jeans, the company also offers knit tops, hoodies, shirts and sweaters for men, women and children.

Woody Boots
Vegan boots were brought to you by Vegan Wares. All Vegan Ware boots, according to the company website, are  made with Lorica synthetic leather.

Now grab the vegan Twinkie recipe and start taking on those zombies!

Teen Choice Awards 2009 - Arrivals

Like almost mother-in-law like son.

Levi Johnston, the ex and baby daddy of 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin‘s daughter Bristol Palin‘s child, has just admitted to gobbling up Morris.

To bring sexy back for his upcoming nude photos for Playgirl (yes, we know you’re running to the stands right now), Levi has been eating lots of meat, specifically Moose meat.

“Moose meat is very good for you, high in protein and very lean,” says Levi’s trainer, Marvin Jones. “He’s an avid hunter, so he has his own.”

What Marvin the trainer doesn’t know is that there are plenty of athletes that get bulky, ripped and ready to go on a vegetarian and even vegan diet.

Moose meat may only let Levi sit naked (or is it nekkid in Alaska) in front of the camera, but the complete protein of soy and high protein plant foods like tempeh could give him the strength and endurance of a triathlete like Brandon Brazier.

Boo to moose meat.

Boo to meaty diets as an attempt to look athletic.

We’ll wait for the centerfold to come out before we boo Levi’s body.
