Find out more about Hunter Burgan at peta2.com.

Hunter Burgan has been (veganly) eating up the spotlight since he’s become Vegan Ambassador for MacBeth shoes.

He sat down with Peta2 for an interview about his recent promotion:

Why was it important for you to design an all-vegan shoe, even down to the glue used?
First off, have you ever worn a pair of shoes without glue? They just fall apart. So, if they are going to use glue, it’s going to have to be vegan glue. You know, animals don’t wear shoes with human glue—it’s just disrespectful.

Makes perfect sense.

You can watch Hunter’s MacBeth video above and see him doing a spastic like dance before taking out an umbrella to protect himself from-you guessed it-raining shoes.

You can also enter a contest to win a pair of Hunter’s new shoes and an iPod nano, but you must do so before February 2nd.

Paul McCartney was a guest on the Howard Stern show recently. After hearing “Howard Stern,” you know immediately the show was at least a little PG, as evident in the transcript over at the Examiner.

Stern told his vegan sidekick, Robin Quivers, to “show Paul her breasts.” McCartney, being the gentleman he is, immediately protested, to which Quivers responded, “I’ve been rejected by Paul McCartney.”

McCartney is in the U.S. to attend the inauguration next week and Quivers tried to smooth talk her way into coming along by reminding him of their shared interests.

“I’m a vegan, too. Take me to the inauguration. Kids love me.” Paul is only vegetarian, but close enough.

Neither breasts, nor shared diet could win over Paul, but he did share some insight on why he feels it’s okay to eat dairy, such as eggs.

When Stern asked, “Isn’t an egg a chicken abortion?” Paul replied it wasn’t and said “We don’t like to think of it like that.”

Hens abandon their eggs in nature, so that’s why it’s okay and not animal cruelty, he explained.

Time for you vegans to shout out! What do you think about Paul’s rationale? Some say that meat is okay because animals kill each other in nature. Is his argument similar?

Speak now. And if you want to give your opinion on if he should have looked at Robin’s breasts, that’s fine too.

If Jeremy Piven had been following Morrissey’s Sea Food Is Sea Life philosophy, he might not be in this predicament.

The Entourage actor was forced to go on sick leave from the Broadway production Speed The Plow last month because he had been diagnosed with mercury poisoning.

Doctors found elevated-as much as five times the amount of a normal person-levels of the element in his blood. Mercury poison is a serious condition that, if left untreated, can cause heart and kidney failure, cognitive problems, and even death.

So does Jeremy have a secret thermometer munching vice? No, he just eats too much fish, which often contains levels of Mercury that could cause problems if eaten too often.

Turns out, Mr. Piven eats a hell of a lot of fish cause he’s a pescetarian-or fish eating vegetarian. Who would’ve thought!

According to Fox News, Piven said that, “years of being a fish eating vegetarian was enough to do the trick and act as a catalyst.”

Leona Lewis is set to launch her very own perfume, according to Pop Crunch.

The self-titled scent was produced with the Germany company LR, which adhered to Leona’s strict ethical standards.

A source revealed to British newspaper The Sun that, “Leona has had a lot of approaches about launching her own perfume, but she wanted to make totally sure she would be working with an ethical company.”

Leona is a vegetarian who won’t even wear leather or other animal products and is also working to launch her own vegan clothing and hand bag lines. Perfume makers often use animal ingredients as fixatives, which enable fragrances to evaporate slowly and emit odor.

Lewis played a big part in the perfume’s progress-from developing the scent itself to designing the bottle and packaging of the product.

She has already begun the process of promoting her scent, making a video for fans in Germany.

“I love my new fragrance and I already love LR,” she said.

The fragrance is set to launch later this year.

When we last brought you the 411 on Gossip Girl, we learned that in the book series, unlike his television character, player boy Aaron, is a vegan and book Serena would never fall for the onscreen version.

Looks as if Taylor Momsen, who plays Jenny Humphrey, might get along better with book Aaron as well.

Although she’s not a vegan, she was vegetarian for awhile and still abstains from red meat, according to Taylor-Momsen.net:

“I don’t eat any red meat. I was a vegetarian for about a year, and then I incorporated fish back into my diet. And I eat a little bit of chicken occasionally, for protein, but I eat a lot of vegetables. I’m pretty much vegetarian, aside from when I do eat fish or chicken. And a lot of fruit—I eat pretty healthily. My mom raised me to eat pretty well. I never really got into junk food. But once in a while I do splurge, though.”

We would slam her for her “pretty much vegetarian” Gwyneth Paltrow slogan, but at least she’s not going around professing to still be one.

Not to mention how great it is that she’s not eating red meat.

On the set, she gets energy from eating apples and peanut butter and her “comfort food” is dipping animal crackers into water.

Before there was Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman, there was John Robbins advocating how a vegan diet was better for maintaining health, healthy weight, and a healthy planet through books such as Healthy at 100, The Food Revolution, and Diet for a New America.

He is currently facing financial crisis after learning that he and his wife lost their entire life savings in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme.

In an attempt to scrape by, the Robbins have resorted to renting out rooms in their home, according to Patti Breitman on VegSource:

“To economize, the family has rented out every extra room in their house and every spare space on their property. Still, it is not clear if they will be able to pay their mortgage or keep the property they share with their son, his wife and their two grandsons.”

“I cannot imagine a man who has had a greater positive influence on the vegetarian movement than John Robbins. Because of his books, countless people around the world have changed their way of eating, dressing, and relating to animals. Because of the integrity he has shown in his life, countless people have found the courage to turn down job opportunities and great financial gain if the work caused harm to others.”

Ironically, although he preached otherwise, Robbins was the very object of work that caused harm to others.

Wishing him and his family the best as they fight to recover from this tragedy.

But Gwyneth Paltrow did too, so we’re not sure how much of a compliment this is to newly vegan Ellen.

Parade Magazine has compiled a slide show of celebrity vegetarians and vegan Ellen DeGeneres made the meatless cut.

Before Ellen even turned vegan she was huge supporter of animal issues, such as Prop 2. She also recommends eating organic and local.

Other celebrities featured include honeymooner Woody Harrelson, Paul McCartney, and Alicia Silverstone.

Some of Parade’s readers think the list doesn’t best represent Hollywood’s vegetarians, and notables like vegan Natalie Portman are absent.

Even Gwyneth Paltrow is still winning veggie trophies, much to some readers’ dismay. As one person commented on the site:

Gwyneth Paltrow is not a vegetarian. What vegetarian would discuss cooking a turkey on Thanksgiving?! Which she did on her website.

Ah, nothing quite like the truth.
