Joan Jett

Joan Jett

Inked Magazine, headquarters for all your tattooed news and needs, is featuring Joan Jett as part of their Inked For a Cause section.

Joan spills all the details on the social causes that are most important to her, and gives props to her favorite charity, Farm Sanctuary.

“There is a personal tie because I love animals, and feel a connection with them. I became aware of Farm Sanctuary’s work and wanted to help. Farm Sanctuary has 2 farms where they bring the animals they rescue. One is in upstate New York and one is in California. I just went to visit overnight in New York, and it was an incredible experience! I met my namesake, Joan the pig! I really enjoyed meeting all the animals. I highly recommend the experience!”

When asked what particular way she wants to encourage Inked readers to live, Joan responded:

“To become vegetarian, or vegan. I am vegetarian, I have fluctuated between the two, but my goal is to be vegan. It helps the animals and the earth.”

Good luck Leilani!

Singer Pink–Alecia Moore–Kangaroo And Frog Troubles

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 23rd, 2009 in Animal Issues, Female Singers.

Pink Attends A Songwriting Master Class At The University Of The Arts

Pink is a vegetarian, card carrying member of PETA and animal activist and lover in general.

But lately, the singer who’s real name is Alecia Moore, has been having some troubles with animals-either in her sleep or when she’s conscious.

“I dreamt the other night that I smuggled two kangaroos home from Australia and they trashed my house and my dog Bailey was terrified,” Pink said. “Bad idea!”

But dear, why are you taking wild animals into your home anyway? A trashed home could be the least of your worries.

The second incident involved a frog that wanted some face lovin.’

During a recent bike trip with husband Carey Hart, the two stopped on the side of the road to, ahem, “relieve themselves.”

“They were relieving themselves by the road when a frog jumped up and hit Pink bang in the eyes,” a source said. “She freaked.”

Lessons learned: Don’t smuggle animals, especially ones that belong in the wild into your home. And don’t pee on a frog’s property as he’ll want to protect his turf.

The Kind Diet

All this week, we’re hosting a giveaway and three of our lucky readers will receive a free copy of Alicia Silverstone’s new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Every day until the end of the contest, we’re bringing you a few of Alicia’s thoughts on The Kind Diet, with a reminder to leave a comment to enter to win.

Today Alicia gives her thoughts on more people adopting vegetarian diets, full or part time.

“When I first started this lifestyle it was still being viewed as something extreme or rebellious. But in recent years I feel as if there’s been a shift. As we’re becoming more and more aware of how our food systems are broken (thanks to some great books and documentaries), the idea that adopting a plant-based diet is something that can make us all healthier (both as individuals and as a planet) has really been gaining traction. So, I feel like this is the perfect time for The Kind Diet. The Kind Diet was written with the understanding that people are coming to this from many diff places (meat-eaters who just want really great skin to vegetarians looking to lose weight–to junk-food junkies looking to save the planet) and we need to offer them varying points of entry. Even little steps in the direction of a plant-based diet can be life-changing. And it’s important that people understand that they needn’t be hard on themselves during the course of this journey–we’re all human and we all “slip-up” but have an inspiring direction to head in is a great start.”

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.

Naomi Campbell “Black Girls Rock!” Fur Real Or Fur Fake

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 23rd, 2009 in Fur, Fur Real Or Fur Fake, Models.

The Fourth Annual Black Girls Rock!

Knowing Naomi’s background, common sense says we really don’t have to ask this, but to be fair to the supermodel, here goes…

Naomi Campbell recently attended the fourth annual Black Girl Rock! event at the New York Times dressed in this black fur shrug.

Naomi once pretended to be anti-fur, then had a bad change of heart and professed how much she loved it.

But it’s okay, according to Naomi, because she “made up with that PETA guy” anyway.

Take a look and decide for yourself.

Did Naomi shrug off fur at the event?

Is she fur real? Or is she faking it?
