The economy is no fun for anybody right now, but the U.S. and international editions of Vogue are trying to brighten your and Wallstreet’s spirits by sponsoring Fashion’s Night Out.

Fashions Night Out takes place this Thursday September 10 and most stores participating in NYC will be open until 11 PM.

It’s meant to encourage people to have a little fun with what they have-and put money back into the economy.

The Stella McCartney store in NYC will have a truck offering vegetarian food outside and also serve sustainable cocktails.

Shopping. Food. Drinks.

Do you really need another reason to get out of your apartment on Thursday evening?

Fashion Night Out is happening in other cities around the world the same evening, including in the UK, Italy, France and Germany.

Boy George Goes Raw To Shed Jail Weight

Boy George plays a DJ set at Pride in Brighton

Although he can make a mean jail bird pie, Boy George plans to lay off the cooked food until he loses a little belly.

Former Culture Club frontman, who’s real name is George O’Dowd, had said while in jail he cooked vegetarian food for himself and fellow inmates.

George was released in May.

“He’s on a raw food regime and doing an hour’s walking a day,” a source told Contact Music.

The source also added George had some good DJ jobs lined up, so hopefully he’ll get extra exercise shaking his buns while turning the tables.

Great that George was able to remain veg while in jail.

Some folks have even turned vegan during their jail term.

What a great way to start turning your life around before even being released.

How can one get any work done when you’re chowing down on good food?

We’d like to ask Joshua Katcher at The Discerning Brute this question, as he sat down with MTV news reporter John Norris at the Jivamukti Yoga Cafe and School enjoying delicious food such as grilled portabello pesto with hummus pannini and and signature salads made with black beans and home grown sprouts.

Yum!

Joshua and John touched on veganism and the vegan community between bites.

“Working in music, the majority of vegans I meet come at it from less an animal rights point of view than they do from a straight edge or some kind of more personal health concern,” John says.

John is a vegan both of out animal rights compassion and the belief that “we’re not as a species, worth more than any other species.”

Watch the clip for the entire interview and tell us why you chose to go vegan.

William Shatner: Release Lucy The Elephant From Edmonton Zoo

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues.

19th Annual Hollywood Charity Horse Show

Actor William Shatner is calling for the release of an elephant from what has been called one of the worst zoos in Canada by elephant expert Winnie Kiiru.

In a letter to Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel, Mr. Shatner wrote, “I humbly ask you to allow Lucy to retire to better circumstances than at the Edmonton Zoo … she’s old, feeble, and many of us know how that feels.”

Canada’s cold temperatures and zoo policy require that Lucy stay indoors for most of the time, which significantly reduces her mobility.

When she is allowed outside, the enclosed area is very dusty and causes her respiratory and foot problems, according to PETA’s blog.

Shatner is an Emmy winning award actor who’s best known for being Captain James T. Kirk on Star Trek as well as his role in Boston Legal.

Stacy Haiduk Cat Purse At Daytime Emmy Awards

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Offbeat.

The 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards at Orpheum Theatre in LA F to the R to the E to the A to the K! Stacy Haiduk decided to make a fashion statement at the recent Daytime Emmy Awards by wearing her cat. Yes, this is a real cat. Dead. And stuffed. Mr. Kitty was Stacy’s co-star on The Young and the Restless for several months. Is this why soap opera audiences are dwindling? Mr. Kitty was someone’s living pet, and now has the pleasure of being immortalized thanks to a taxidermist. 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards - Arrivals

Stacy was quoted in the New York Post as saying:

“It was for the fans. I feel that this cat was somebody’s lovely, beloved animal. They loved him so much they had him preserved, and I thought since Mr. Kitty has had such success on the show, he deserved to be at the Emmys.”

Since Stacy was talking about how much Mr. Kitty was loved, it would have been a great opportunity to talk about animal charities that love cats, like Ally Cat Allies, which aims to reduce the number of cats killed in shelters by providing education and awareness of spay and neuter services, feral cat care, and other services to improve the lives of cats.

Tribute or terrible?

Cat worshipper or Crazy Cat Lady?
