Vegetarian Star

Actress and Playboy model Shauna Sand stepped out Madeo’s restaurant in Beverly Hills, California recently with a companion on her arm.

Let’s hope this companion is as phony as a Playmate’s breasts and Shauna is sporting fake fur.

Although Hugh Hefner‘s girlfriends may not mind being cramped up in the mansion, animals kept in cages on fur farms definitely mind their lack of freedom and pain and suffering they endure when killed for the pelts.

What do you think?

Is Shauna fur real?

Please, please, please let it be fake!

Charlize Theron has collaborated with TOMS Shoes company to raise money for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP).

TOMS donated 10,000 pairs of shoes that will be available December 15 2009 and a portion of the proceeds for each pair sold will go towards the CTAOP.

One of the greatest bonus points of this charitable partnership is that the shoes to be sold are vegan friendly!

A description from toms.com reveals a description of the shoes as, “LiViTY eco-textile and vegan friendly construction, embroidered native baobob tree on over-dyed canvas, Lining with Africa Outreach Project logo pattern.”

The shoes are available in both women’s and men’s styles, titled “Baobob Sunset” and “Baobob Night,” respectively.

The CTAOP works to create a safer and more comfortable life for African children and families living in poverty, particularly those with HIV/AIDS.

TOMS is best known for its One for One program, where every pair of shoes purchased is matched with a donated pair to a child in need.

The company features a good selection of vegan friendly shoes made with recycled products.

“If I’m home, it’s ‘Garbage Disposal Salad.’ It’s my most made meal that my mom taught me to do when I was in high school.” As the name states, there’s everything in there from greens, cucumbers and spinach to blueberries, grapes, black beans and cashews: “anything that gives it, for lack of a better word, a ‘meaty’ texture. So you don’t feel like you’re eating a salad.”

—-Kristen Bell, during an interview on her favorite meal to eat at home.

The Garbage Disposal Salad? Never heard of waste that sounds that delicious!

Tom Cruise‘s latest movie Knight and Day came to a halt recently when half ton animals escaped from the set.

The seven bulls were present to recreate a scene for Pamplona’s running of the bulls.

The animals were on the loose for half and hour and injured two women during their joyride through Spain.

PETA took the opportunity to write to Cruise, urging him to influence producers of the show to reconsider using the animals and cutting the scene altogether.

“The Running of the Bulls is an inherently cruel event that causes severe stress and often injury to the animals involved. The bulls’ hooves slip on the pavement as they race frantically, trying to escape the chaos. Sometimes, in their confusion, they bash into doors or the sides of buildings, breaking horns or legs. Human runners and spectators gouge them with sticks or pull their tails. People, too, are injured, gored, or trampled by bulls who are desperate to escape. What awaits the animals that evening in the bullring is even more gut-wrenching. Bulls are repeatedly stabbed and bled to weaken them, and bullfighters sever the animals’ spines while they are fully conscious.”

With the technology we have in the 21st century, who needs live animal for a production anyway?

Australian model and actress Annalise Braakensiek says health is her number one priority and claims to be a “passionate vegetarian cook.”

She’s started her own organic food delivery service, featuring her recipes, called Love Lunch.

But a closer look at Annalise’s personal culinary creations reveals her favorite meals contain fish, fish and more fish.

“My favourite breakfast is tahini and tomato with fresh rocket from the garden, on organic spelt toast,” Annalise said.

Sounds okay. But here comes the seafood.

“Then for lunch I eat seasonally, so it depends on what’s in. Generally it’s a huge salad, tuna or tofu and Asian greens, or brown rice with vegies, copious amounts of organic green vegies. Plenty of fish. I don’t eat meat. I don’t eat wheat and I don’t eat dairy.”

No meat or dairy?

Annalise could almost be vegan if it weren’t for the flipper.

Not only is eating fish bad for the environment, as many species are on the overfished list, but as the old saying goes, vegetarians aren’t suppose to eat “anything with a face.”

As one commenter on the story at smh.com said:

“How can somebody eat “plenty of fish” and then claim they don’t eat meat? Fish are animals and their flesh is meat. They’re not vegetables!”

Congratulations on Annalise’s food delivery service.

Hopefully, she’ll give more love to lunches that are completely vegetarian.

Olympic skater Tai Babilonia recently skated in Rockefeller Ice Skating Rink in New York City to support a PETA “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur,” campaign. Not only does is this woman an incredible beauty and athlete, she’s smart and compassionate to know that wearing fur makes a triple lutz look like a triple klutz. The rink may be cool, but fur farms and killing an animal for fashion is colder than ice. Great job, Tai! Check out other photos below.

Kristen Bell Viva Magazine

Kristen Bell is on the cover of Viva Magazine and has an online interview with the publication.

Kristen has been a vegetarian since age 11, and has toyed with veganism at some points in her life.

Growing up, she would only eat if her dog was sitting by her side.

Could that be why she couldn’t force herself to eat animals?

“[I] never liked the look, taste or smell of meat,” Kristen said. “My mom tried to disguise it but I just was not having any of it. When I discovered what vegetarianism was, I claimed to be one and my mom was very supportive.”

Kristen recognizes that going vegetarian doesn’t mean going on a cheese and mayo sandwich diet. You gotta work to eat healthy sometimes!

“A lot of vegetarians just eat bread and pasta and don’t realize that iron, zinc and magnesium need to be replaced. I take supplements but I also find that I have a very well- balanced diet.”

And this chick isn’t afraid of real food. She eats dessert three times a day!

“Yes, even after breakfast! I make chocolate-covered strawberries a lot because it’s a good halfway point. You’re getting fruit, which is great, but you’re also smothering them in chocolate.”

Read the entire article at vivamagazineonline.com to learn how global warming and the environment influence Kristen’s lifestyle.

A recent episode of Family Guy has Brian Griffin‘s interest in animal rights peak.

After an evening of drinking, Brian hits another dog, but no one cares.

In disgust, Brian starts the Quahog Animal Equal Rights League, with the intention of teaming up with a bigger animal rights organization in the future.

While explaining his plans to Stewie, Brian points to a dog and says, “Do you think he wants to be tied to that chair, waiting for his owner to get ice cream? Hell no!”

If only all dogs could talk like Brian.

Watch the clip above for the full episode to learn why the dog at the ice cream shop was tied up to begin with.
