Vegetarian Star

Lots of rumors were going around the web that “I Kissed A Girl,” singer Katy Perry was romantically linked to Paris Hilton’s ex, Good Charlotte musician Benji Madden.

The two of them were spotted sitting awfully close to each other on Valentine’s Day in Los Angeles.

Perry insists the two are just friends and her heart belongs to her cat, Kitty Purry. Yes, she named her cat after herself. Groan!

“Oh kittens! It’s two pseudo famous people sitting next to each other … doesn’t mean we were bumping uglies!” Katy wrote on her blog.

Well oh kitten purries! Bumping uglies or not, Perry could pick up a few tips for eating vegetarian from her new friend Benji, the non-bumping ugly partner.

Katy said she wanted to become a vegetarian for her New Year’s Resolution, but she liked chicken too much.

Benji could take her into the kitchen and show her how to cook up more than whoopee. Plus, since they both have items on the Denny’s Rockstar menu, they could even combine their culinary skills to make up one hot (or cold, raw is fine too) meal.

Kyra Sedgwick was just a few degrees of separation (had to add that since her husband is Kevin Bacon, you know) from veganism when her brother Rob opened up a vegan ice cream parlor.

Now her character on the police drama The Closer, Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, is narrowing that gap as her fiance Fritz’s (Jon Tenney) sister Claire helps them prepare for the wedding.

Amy Sedaris plays Claire, another vegan claiming to have psychic powers, who is super hyper and extremely excited to help with the wedding.

Since Claire considers herself a great cook, she’s brought along a few dishes for the happy couple to try.

Sprout salad, vegetarian faux “chicken” pot pie, her own version of Tofurkey, and carob and walnut souffle.

“I hope you like vegan,” Claire says after rambling off her samples.

If Brenda doesn’t, she’ll sure learn to love it. Ha!

The Closer airs on TNT.

We mentioned earlier that Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor said she couldn’t understand the point of the “sexiest vegetarian” lists that she constantly makes.

But news is news and the sexiest are here. Kareena won World’s Sexiest Vegetarian, along with her male counterpart Sreesanth in the annual contest held by PETA India.

Lots of people cared about R Madhavan, Aditi Gowitrikar, Vishal Dadlani, Kailash Kher, as well as Alicia Silverstone, Pamela Anderson, Hansika Motwani, Mallika Sherawat, Mahima Chaudhary, Rajneesh Duggal, Sir Paul McCartney and Moby.

But unfortunately for the runners up, people didn’t care enough to cast their votes for them.

“When you look at the dozens of gorgeous celebrities in this year’s poll, there are no bones about it – a vegetarian diet makes you beautiful inside and out”, says PETA India’s Anuradha Sawhney.

Congratulations to the sexiest. For whatever the list is worth.

When former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson was a young girl, she watched her father cut off the head of an animal he had hunted. That led to her becoming vegetarian in her early teens.

The old saying is that a woman wants a man just like dear ol’ dad, but apparently this can never be the case when it comes to beliefs about animals.

There was speculation that her and Kid Rock divorced over him having no problem hunting. We already know he has no problem with fur.

Neither Tommy Lee, nor Rick Salomon, nor Kid Rock have captured her heart permanently.

Pam was seen strutting around town with this unnamed gentleman recently. Could he be Pammie’s new compassionate love?

“Not vegan yet, i eat cheese made from my own milk, however i am farmed inhumanely and shall report myself to the UN at dawn.”
—comedian Russell Brand in response to a question on his Twitter if he was a vegan. Salma Hayek has been making headlines about breastfeeding babies that aren’t hers-maybe Russell is stocking up on the breast pumps for an entrepreneurial adventure?

We’d like to look more into this “farmed inhumanely” situation. Russell doesn’t seem to be the type you should keep caged…Or should you?

Russell’s Twitter, rustyrockets, is becoming quite popular, gaining 2,000 followers in the first 20 minutes when it launched last month.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will be honored by the Humane Society next month for their love of animals, so it’s both ironic and disappointing that it’s been brought to our attention that vegan Ellen is the Cover gal for Cover Girl cosmetics, a company that still tests on animals.

Even more ironic, the ads featuring Ellen will debut around the time she is given her award.

Deceiver.com put its ever so sarcastic slant on things:

Proposition 2, eh? I remember that. It was right around the time she signed up to become Cover Girl’s newest spokesmodel, despite the fact the beauty company is the largest that still tests on animals. Die, bunnies!

Ironically those print ads just started appearing in the March issues of all the magazines. Great timing there, HSUS.
 
We’ve learned before that celebrities don’t always investigate companies before representing them. We’ve also learned that celebrities make decisions that seem to completely contradict other behaviors.

PETA has relaunched its campaign against McDonald’s since it originally did so in 2000, because the company continues to use outdated methods to kill chickens.

The current methods involve chickens being dumped from the transport carriers, hung upside down, their throats slit while still being conscious, with some even boiled in hot water while still being able to feel pain, according to the PETA McDonald’s campaign website.

A similar campaign was launched against KFC, which PETA won in Canada, and now not only are Canadian KFCs moving towards complete Controlled Action Killing (CAK), they’re offering a vegan faux chicken sandwich as well. CAK involves replacing Oxygen with a gas that slowly puts the chickens to sleep.

After PETA launched its original McCruelty campaign in 2000, McDonald’s had agreed to work towards better welfare for its chickens, but almost a decade after original talks, not much has changed.

Although she makes an appearance as the Nightclub girl in her most recent movie, How To Lose Friends and Alienate People, Alexandra Aitken doesn’t have a lot of party gal inside her.

‘I don’t smoke, I don’t drink and I’m vegan,’ she said, according to the UK Daily Mail. ”I meditate for hours every day. It’s given me much more energy.”

Meditation is more than a personal hobby, but a business of hers as well. She’s a yoga teacher, offering classes in Kundalini yoga and Gong Healing-a technique that uses sounds and vibrations to help you relax.

Nothing about a gong or being vibrated sounds relaxing, but we trust Alexandra and thousands of others who rely on the practice.

After completing seven months of intensive training at a California retreat, Alexandra decided to open up shop on her own.
