Vegan politician Dennis Kucinich has himself a real looker.

But not only is the tall redheaded Elizabeth Kucinich as hot as her hair color, she’s also a great animal activist.

Elizabeth is the newly appointed director of public affairs for the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

She went to Capitol Hill this week to show support for the Great Ape Protection Act, which would phase out invasive medical research on chimpanzees.

“For me, it’s a moral issue, about practicing good science and moving with the times,” Elizabeth said.

Elizabeth, along with her entire family, went vegan after learning her mother had Crohn’s disease and learned to manage it by cutting out meat and dairy products.

Elizabeth and Dennis make one powerful veg couple!

Gisèle Theriault "The Barber's Daughter" and Alicia Keys

Gisèle Theriault took her passion for crafting jewelry and turned it into a profitable business, The Barber’s Daughter.

It all started when Theriault met Alicia Keys backstage at a concert when she was just starting to operate the business.

Keys liked the jewelry so much, she helped spread the news and not only is Oprah Winfrey wearing her bling, but she has five employees and the same publicist as Keys.

But is the Barber’s Daughter also a vegan daughter?

From macleans.ca:

“A few days before the Black Ball, Theriault sat in the sun-splashed kitchen of her home—a three-storey semi that doubles as the headquarters for her company, the Barber’s Daughter—and served a slice of vegan pumpkin pie and empowering tea.”

Theriault’s collections includes earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings and watches.

In a recent article on the Huffington Post, Ari Solomon, president and co-creator of eco-friendly soy candle company, A Scent of Scandal, brought up a recent comment made by celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain.

On Larry King Live, Bourdain had commented that it was okay for humans to kill animals for food because humans were designed to chase down “smaller and stupider” creatures.

“It was the “stupider” remark that caught my attention, and not just for Bourdain’s obvious grammatical shortcomings,” said Solomon.

Solomon then gave some wonderful facts on the intelligence of animals:

Pigs may be smarter than Bourdain:
“Pigs have the mental capacity of a four year-old human child and have beat humans in memory games.”

Dolphins are talking about Bourdain behind his back:
“Dolphins have a very distinct language that scientists now refer to as “dolphinese” which humans can’t decipher. For all our human knowledge, we have no idea how to understand what should be, according to Bourdain, a “stupider” means of communication.”

Pigeons are like men because they don’t ask for directions:
“Did you know, for example, that pigeons can fly thousands of miles to find the same roosting spot with no navigational difficulties? Some species of birds, like the Arctic Tern, make a 25,000-mile round-trip journey every year. Many species use built-in ferromagnets to detect their orientation with respect to the Earth’s magnetic field. Can you do that?”

Natalie Portman appeared on Top Chef last night to hang with Tom Colicchio and the burger bad girl Padma Lakshmi.

Portman warned the chefs they had better not be pulling a chicken stock in a veggie dish move.

“I love food, I love to eat all kinds of things, but I’m a vegetarian,” she said. “And if you serve me animal flesh I will thrust a light sabre through your eye.”

Point was definitely taken.

Things heated up when Natalie and guests started talking about the dish of shallots and garlic.

Lakshmi complained about the shallot, which she described as “a little sharp” when paired with garlic blossoms that she described as “very tiny in size and yet…”

“Big in your mouth?” Portman jumped in and said before Lakshmi could finish.

“It went from a little prick to big in your mouth,” Colicchio said.

“That’s what usually happens,” another guest said, which made the entire group laugh.

Hmm…never knew Colicchio had such a dirty mind.

What’s really disappointing is that Mike, the chef with the vegan mom, was sent home packing.

Not cool at all.
