There’s nothing worse than cruising in your ship in the ocean, hair blowing in the wind and trying to impress the eco ladies, when you get pulled over by the PoPo…For a ridiculous 30 year warrant!

Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson and Whale Wars star was arrested in Portugal while attending the International Whaling Commission (IWC) Conference for a 1980 ramming by the Sea Shepherd of the pirate whaling ship the Sierra.

However, since the warrant actually expired in 2008, Watson was released shortly.

Also recently, vegetarian actress Daryl Hannah, who joined the Whale Wars crew this season, was also arrested, but it had nothing to do with whales.

She and 31 people, including NASA climate scientist James Hansen and former U.S. Rep. Ken Hechler, were arrested during a display of civil disobedience at a mountaintop removal protest in West Virginia.

The video above shows Hannah in the action.

Meatless Mouthful: Dan Piraro Says Hard To Let Foster Animals Go

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, June 25th, 2009 in Cartoonists, Meatless Mouthful.

20th Anniversary Genesis Awards - Show

“It is hard sometimes because some have such great personalities, but you get used to it. It becomes a mind-set where we known these two are staying, these two are going. I also know I’m doing a good thing, because if I kept them, pretty soon I’d have no room to foster anymore. So, I’m saving a lot of lives by sending them along.”

—Vegan Cartoonist Dan Piraro, in an interview with Vegetarian Times for the July/August issue. Dan and his wife, Ashley Lou, bring a zoo of animals into their homes to care for until homes are found. Check out his comics at bizarro.com.

Tennis legend John McEnroe has recorded a PSA advocating spaying and neutering animals.

McEnroe was known for his temper tantrums and other failed attempts at anger management on the court, and the video humorously plays on that.

McEnroe meets a man at the vet who wonders what he’s doing there. After informing the man he’s there to get his dog fixed, the man says he could never do that to his dog, which prompts McEnroe to give a tirade about how spaying and neutering is best for lowering the number of animals euthanized in shelters and even…gasp…helps with your pet’s temper.

Although John got some good points in about spaying and neutering, he failed to clarify what the guy meant: He was only talking about John’s poor choice of outfit for his dog!

Kristen Stewart Lands Second Vegetarian Role In The Runaways

Twilight star Kristen Stewart exits a recording studio in North Hollywood sporting her new dark mullet hair style

Kristen Stewart will portray veggie singer and musician Joan Jett in the upcoming film, The Runaways, which portrays Joan’s life and the 70s band she fronted.

And you thought the dark mullet was just a fashion change for the actress who’ll be starring in New Moon, the sequel to Twilight this fall.

Looks like Kristen will be playing a vegetarian again.

Although technically Joan became a vegetarian after the Runaways, she’s been quite active with promoting the lifestyle, whether it’s recording PSAs, visiting farm sanctuaries, or casually mentioning her diet in interviews.

In Twilight, Kristen played vegetarian Bella, the love interest of vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen, who was seen enjoying Garden Burgers with her dad at the local diner in Forks, Washington. She even once told  him he should try one sometime instead of his usual steak.

Coincidence? A “Twilight” moment?

Operation Smile Presents The 2009 Smile Event

Sad news for those rooting for John Salley on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!

Spider legs Salley came in third, behind Torrie Wilson, and Lou Diamond Phillips taking the cake.

Before the final showdown all three finalist had to endure a “jungle spa,” consisting of creepy crawlers, baby crocodiles, and mealworms to win a gourmet meal.

No one was a loser in that round (or perhaps they all were because they had to put up with that) and all three got their grub on.

John had a tofu burger waiting for him, but Torrie’s meal choice wasn’t too shabby either, as she requested a vegetarian pizza. Lou Diamond? Fried chicken! Boo!

Lou’s charity of choice, Art Has Heart Foundation, will get a fat check for his victory. The organization awards scholarships to lower-income high school students.

Chantelle Houghton Launching Lots Of Hopefully Vegan Brands

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, June 25th, 2009 in Models, Reality TV.

Digital Spy Reality TV Awards - Arrivals

Chantelle Houghton gained some extra fame by being a Paris Hilton lookalike, but looks are about where the similarities end.

The Celebrity Big Brother 2006 winner is now following a strict vegan diet, according to a friend, and wants to give other British veg gals like Heather Mills and Leona Lewis a run for their money by launching several lines of  items under her name.

“She’s a strict vegan and is going to launch a new range of food, a make-up range, a perfume and her own swimwear line.”

Go Chantelle.

We hope that not only will Chantelle’s food line be vegan, but she’ll remember to keep her perfume and make-up cruelty free and free from animal products too.

Chantelle is aiming for natural in several areas of her life, including ditching the fake hair, bronze tan, and after battling bulimia, now takes pride in what she calls her new beautiful and womanly figure.

Congratulations on the new and healthier you, Chantelle. Have a piece of vegan cake on us.

Leslie Bibb Makes Confessions Of Tofu Chicken Dinner Winner Love

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, June 25th, 2009 in Actresses.

Fashion for Life 2009 held at the California Market Center in Los Angeles, CA

Okay, so she’s not addicted to the vegan lifestyle, but she does have addictions to one particular actress.  It’s more like confessions of a Gwyneth Paltrowaholic.

Leslie Bibb, who plays Alicia Billington, the rival to Isla Fisher’s character Rebecca Bloomwood, in Confessions of a Shopaholic, gushed over her admiration for Gwyneth Paltrow to the New York Post. Apparently, Gwyneth’s so cool, she’s a total tofu chicken winner dinner. Or something like that.

Leslie: Now it’s like, “Hey Gwyn, let’s talk about Kabbalah!” I still have a total girl crush though. That Gwyneth is a total winner, winner, chicken dinner.

PW: Ah, a Las Vegas lady!
Leslie: You know it’s from Vegas! Oh man, I’m sure Gwyneth would think I’m nuts for saying that.

PW: Well, she doesn’t eat chicken.
Leslie: [laughs] Of course, right, “I’m a vegan, I don’t get that joke.” OK, fine, you’re a winner, winner tofu chicken dinner! Better?

We know Gwyneth’s definitely not vegan. But oh, well.

We’ve never been called a winner tofu chicken dinner. It must definitely be a regional thing. Now we know how to compliment our Las Vegas fans.

Much love to you winner tofu chicken dinners.

Both Andy Dick and Russell Brand aren’t exactly known for their choir boy behaviors. Andy’s had his share of drugs, arrests and was thrown off stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live when he couldn’t stop touching Ivanka Trump.

Russell shares Andy’s drug history, has bragged to the pubic about having relations with more than 80 women in one month and was forced to resigned from the BBC after making prank phone calls to actor Jonathan Sachs’ home, bragging about “shagging” his granddaughter.

That didn’t stop Russell from making the front page of a Vegetarian Starter Kit and Dick’s still up to his antics, dressing as Ronald McDonald and protesting McDonald’s method of killing chickens.

They can’t be that bad, huh? So between the two naughty boys, who would you rather do…
