According to Nicola McLean, ducks and geese are celebrities: get them outta there!

Out of the conditions where they are force fed an excessive amount of food, causing their livers to swell and producing what is known as foie gras.

The model and star of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, showed off her yellow bikini in front of Selfridges in the UK to wish the store an “Unhappy birthday” because it continues to sell foie gras.

Check out the hot pics of Nicola and other models surrounding the birthday cake at the UK Peta blog.

In a recent interview with Men’s Health Magazine, Jessica Szohr admitted to a super orgasmic experience involving her man. Uh, her man’s hamburger, that is.

“After ten years of eating vegetarian I tried my boyfriend’s. I was overwhelmed. It was orgasmic.”

She also stated, “When I have a craving for something, I just can’t hold myself back.”

Oh, please. Enough with the ex-vegetarian, Padma Lakshmi food porn talk already.

Jessica Szohr might want to take a few lessons from fellow Gossip Girl actress, Dreama Walker, and get back into the veg life!

And tell Serena to stop dissing the seitan.

Nellie McKay is basking in the glory of being a mom these days. Best of all, she didn’t go through hours of labor to take the credit. She simply went to her local shelter and adopted a pit bull named Bess, who she was walking during our exclusive interview with her. 

On her new bundle of joy
Her name is Bess. I’m on an email list that lets you know when animals are about to be put down at the local shelter. I never took in an animal because I travel so much. It didn’t seem fair to them and it seemed kind of impossible for me. But I just couldn’t say no to her. They had pictures of her still lactating. She had just given birth. They [former owners] had taken her puppies and dumped her. She was a throw away mom.

At first she pretended like she didn’t know how to sit. It turns out she just needed the incentive of a treat. She was pretending and she knew all along. She’s the greatest thing that ever happened. She’s the light of my life. She makes life worth living.

On the Obamas not choosing a shelter dog
I think he definitely made the wrong decision. The pressure should be on them for the next animal they get. All this pure-breed stuff…We should all be going after mutts. There are hypoallergenic mutts as well as breeds. We have to get rid of the whole breed mentality. It’s animal racism. Just don’t go for it.

It isn’t hard. The hypoallergenic dogs are available as we speak. The Humane Society and other animal rescue groups offered to help with that search. And the argument that it’s a personal decision-well, so is meat eating but it hurts others.

This seems like something that could have helped so many animals. It could have drawn attention to the plight of so many animals in shelters. They are so influential. It could have saved so many lives and made so many lives better for animals that are just languishing there waiting to be seen, let alone be adopted. I’m disappointed and I just hope that their second dog or cat they will get from a shelter.

Mark Ronson is showing his concern for animals by offering to pose in this PETA anti-fur ad that reads, “If you wouldn’t wear you dog, please don’t wear fur.”

Mark is the big brother of Samantha Ronson, the DJ and ex girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan, who was quite upset months ago after two measures were passed in the state of California that allowed farm animals to move around freely but defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

Samantha had written, “i guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me. yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married…”

But big bro has the compassion for animals, and hopefully this will eventually rub off on Sam.

If Mark’s dog Maude doesn’t pull at her heart, what will?

PETA wouldn’t take him, but the Humane Society of the United States has graciously offered to work with Michael Vick.

Vick is set to join the HSUS campaign against dogfighting.

From the Humane Society President and CEO Wayne Purcell’s blog:

“He said this experience has been a trauma and he’s changed forever. And he said he wants to show the American public that he is committed to helping combat this problem. He asked for an opportunity to help. I want to give him that opportunity. If he makes the most of it, and demonstrates a sincere, long-term commitment to the task, then it may prove to be a tipping point in our campaign to eradicate dogfighting. If he demonstrates a fleeting or superficial interest, then it will be his own failing, not ours. Our campaign will march forward regardless. It’s up to him, and we at The HSUS reserve judgment until he demonstrates that he’s part of the solution rather than a further part of the problem.”

The Humane Society has a dogfighting intervention program, which involves educating youth in at-risk inner city areas on the proper care of dogs.

Will this relationship between Vick and the HSUS last? For the sake of the pit bulls and the youth who admire Vick, we truly hope this interest in change is more than superficial.

“The single best thing you can do for optimal health is to cut way back on animal protein…until you can cut it out completely. Animal protein causes inflammation, among other things; it’s been conclusively shown to cause (and fan the flames of) cancer and heart disease. It burdens your body all around, insofar as circulation, hormonal imbalance, allergies, asthma, etc. But beyond that, optimal health includes a sense of inner wellbeing too. And I think it’s hard to feel really good, to have a sense that you are in synch with the upward thrust of evolution, if you are partaking in something that has become so cruel and unjust. When you eat in a pure way, that is kind and compassionate, an inner transformation happens that is more energizing than any vitamin or exercise regimen could ever be.”

Let’s face it, animal rights activists have to have thick skin.

When your motives are questioned, your tactics are ridiculed, and the cops are just waiting to shackle you at the slightest feeling the peaceful protest is turning ugly, it takes a lot of balls to get up routinely and stand up for creatures who cannot.

Not to mention those insane outfits!

From priests to fake bloody meat to animals to even getting downright naked, animal rights activists show no shame in dressing for the occasion to get the point across. Not a problem at all for vegan singer Chrissie Hynde.

“I don’t mind standing next to a guy dressed as a carrot chanting, ‘We’re not leaving ’til the cows come home,” Hynde told the Sunday Mail.

Or, standing next to a KFC chicken.

“If you’re willing to make a bit of a fool of yourself to make your point – that’s what you have to do.”

Whether it’s protesting KFC, McDonald’s or the mulesing industry, Chrissie has proven she never fails to pay her dues to the fools’ club.
