Lady Gaga Wears Fur: “2009 MTV Video Music Awards”

Lady Gaga leaves her hotel wearing a fur coat, lingerie and thigh-high boots in Toronto, Canada

Lady Gaga was spotted leaving her hotel room for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in what looks to be fur.

Has to be fake, right?

Back when Gaga was sporting her Kermit the Frog coat, she said, “I really loved this one in particular because I thought it was commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur. We were all laughing in the house about how it looks like a pile of dead Kermits.”

Take a look and judge for yourself.

Has Gaga went back on her word?

The September Issue Los Angeles Special Screening

If you could pick any one celebrity to dress vegan, who would it be?

Obviously those fur wearing hags of Hollywood top the list.

Vegnews.com recently spoke to three vegan fashion designers, Inder Bedi of Matt & Nat, Elizabeth Olsen of OlsenHaus, and Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart of Vaute Couture on who they’d like to play dress up with.

Leanne of Vaute Couture answered:

“I adore Ginnifer Goodwin, and she has just reserved her own Vaute coat! This made my month. Next, I would flip to dress Ellen [DeGeneres]. To steal the immortal words of Sting, “Every little thing she does is magic.” For non-vegan celebrity, Audrey Hepburn is my all-time favorite.”

Inder would like to take his fashion stab at Natalie Portman and Madonna.

Emily Deschanel and Cameron Diaz are favorites for Olsen.

If you want to copy Ginnifer’s style, you can choose your very own Vaute coat online at vautecouture.com.

Future Fashion LA. Cocktail Reception and Exhibition

“I’ve always been anti-fur – I love my pets…and I could never see them being worn. It’s a very human time right now, and what’s the sense in more carnage? There are other things in life to celebrate and design doesn’t have to be draped with dead animals.”

—-designer Victoria Bartlett (pictured right), on her commitment to fur-free fashion.

Victoria recently partnered with the Humane Society of the United States to distribute anti-fur literature and buttons at her Spring/Summer 2010 runway show this past weekend as part of New York Fashion Week.

Premiere Of ESPN Films & Walt Disney Pictures X Games 3D: The Movie

Pamela Anderson enjoyed some vegan pizza at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica recently.

Pamela’s probably taking the time to chill before her big eco fashion label debut, A*Muse, in New Zealand next week.

Contrary to what Olivia Munn says, vegan pizza doesn’t taste like poo and if you’re interested in doing pizza sans cheese, whether it’d be for health or ethical reasons, you just might find what you’re looking for at even a fast food restaurant.

Leaving the cheese off a Papa John’s for example, gives you a pizza with both the crust and sauce vegan.

Dominos has one of four crusts that are vegan, but is only available in select stores. It’s sauce is vegan too.

And Godfather’s pizza sauce and dough are vegan as well.

Michael Vick: Makes You Wanna Go Vegetarian (Again)

MICHAEL VICK

Michael Vick‘s return to the football field has sparked much animal activism, and Sally Andersen, guest blogger for vegdaily.com, was recently out and about promoting vegetarianism.

A woman approached Sally and said that although she had been a vegetarian in the past, she became a slacker and started eating meat again.

However, the whole Michael Vick dog fighting incident has made her rethink her decision and she’s going back to veg.

The woman stated:

“This whole thing with Michael Vick got me thinking about it again and reminded me why I became vegetarian in the first place. I am ready to go back.”

A positive spin can come out of anything!

James Willstrop Vegetarian PSA Helps Squash Obesity

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, September 14th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.

Britain’s #2 squash player, James Willstrop, is starring in a vegetarian PSA, letting viewers know how they can “squash” obesity.

Yeah, this is sure to cause less controversy than that other obesity ad PETA put on a billboard.

“I had first heard about PETA through Morrissey actually,” Willstrop said.

“I’m very keen to support animals, and I liked what PETA were doing, so I got in touch because I wanted to make it known that meat is totally unnecessary, and detrimental, to a world-class athlete. People laugh at me when I tell them, and I can’t for one minute believe that so many people find it perfectly natural to mercilessly slaughter animals and devour them for their own gratification. I did it once, but having seen the atrocity that is the battery farm, I want to convey to people to stop and actually think that they are eating dead, slaughtered flesh that has been battered around, tortured and plied with nasty chemicals.”
