Bob Barker Signs Copies Of "Priceless Memories"

Bob Barker has donated a million dollars to his alma mater, Drury University, to establish a program for animal rights, the Dorothy Jo Barker Professorship for Animal Rights.

Named after his late wife Dorothy, the program will offer studies on various animal rights issues.

“At the very least, the students who take this class will have more respect for animals,” said Barker.

“It’s taught by 6 professors all experts in their field,” said professor Dr. Patricia McEachern. “There’s no other class like this in the United States”

This isn’t the first time Barker has teamed up a higher education institute to educate others about animal welfare.

Earlier this year, Bob donated a million dollars to the University of Virginia Law school to establish an animal law program.

Sigh. A million here. A million there. Bet the animals are thankful they’ve got a wealthy man on their side.

Kudos to Bob! Keep up the great work!

Los Premios MTV 2009 - Show

Morrissey made a return to London’s Royal Albert Hall recently recovering from a collapse he experience last week on tour.

The singer seemed to be in good spirits, even joking about his medical ailment.

Moz has been known to insert his thoughts on vegetarianism during his shows and at Royal Albert Hall, he complained that “not one celebrity chef is vegetarian.”

Not yet, Moz, but we’re hoping it should happen any minute now.

Morrissey once made fun of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver saying, “That meat-fed horror Jamie “Orrible” Oliver. If he’s a master chef, then I’m Miss Brazil 1970,” after being asked who he would most likely kick in the eye.
