Vegetarian Star

Carrie Underwood has teamed up with Pedigree, a sponsor of her Play On tour, to film a PSA for their adoption drive.

Her four legged friend Ace is also set to make an appearance.

“I can’t imagine life without my dog,” vegetarian Carrie told Pedigree at the shoot, according to Peoplepets.

“Dogs are just beautiful souls that don’t want a thing from you.”

“He’s just so special because he loves me for no reason other than I love him back.”

“He’s smart and he’s fun, and makes me really appreciate all the little things in life because he is a little thing.”

Hope Carrie drives every would be pet owner to the local shelter to adopt.

The PSA debuts on Monday February 15.

Leona Lewis took to the Twitter to slam the Brit Awards for wanting to serve foie gras at the celebration.

“I was outraged 2 hear that the Brit Awards were planning 2 serve foie-gras at the ceremony. They hav now removed it from the menu,well done!”

This smart gal wanted to educate her fans on what foie gras really was.

“In case u didn’t no, Foie-gras is duck that is forced fed in a sickening cruel process and is banned in the uk.”

While the BRITS took forced fed duck off the menu, there’s still room for improvement.

“The BRITS menu sadly won’t b ‘cruelty free’ however it is still a major victory & they are taking an ethical stance! Well done and thank u”

Dr. Neal Barnard

Back in December, Rush Limbaugh received a vegetarian care package from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) after he was hospitalized for chest pains.

If Rush hadn’t been such a filthy dirty liberal, he would have never landed there.

That’s right, Rush is about as loose as Howard Stern…when it comes to diet.

In an article from CrazySexyLife, Dr. Neal Barnard, president of PCRM says Rush and everyone else needs to be more conservative–or face dire health consequences.

“As a doctor, I’m offering one bit of advice, not just to Rush, but to all Americans: We need to be more conservative. As conservative as possible, in fact.”

“Indeed, people who stick to an entirely plant-based diet, as part of an overall healthy lifestyle, can do more than just prevent heart disease; they can actually reverse it, as was demonstrated in the now-classic studies of Dean Ornish, M.D.”

“The only good thing about a health scare is that it reminds us how important our diets and lifestyles are to our well-beings. It’s time to trade our cheeseburgers for veggie burgers, beef tacos for bean burritos, and remote controls for tennis shoes. Yes, that’s my prescription for Rush—but it’s also my prescription for us all.”

Sounds like a radio talk show to tune in to.

Heidi Klum was caught by the paparazzi on her way to a morning show appearance to discuss her new maternity line coming out this month, Lavish and Loved.

Supermodels have very little “insulation” to keep them warm, so it was understandable she had to wear this fuzzy looking jacket.

Sure hope that’s fake fur she’s wearing.

Being the mother of four children herself, one would think she’d have those “maternal” instincts and run far away from anything that harms any mother or child–like fur farms confining animals in cages and killing them inhumanely for fashion purposes only.

Zoom in on the pic and judge for yourself.

Is Heidi Klum fur real?

Or is she faking it?

ITV has been fined $3,000 for a rat eating incident that occurred on last season’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, according to BBC News.

The incident involved celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo cooking rat risotto and eating it with actor Stuart Manning.

Not exactly the kind of risotto Russell Simmons enjoys, that’s for sure.

The fine was issued by Australian Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), which issued a statement through chief inspector David O’Shannessy.

“The animal was killed for a TV show, that’s not appropriate.”

A spokesman for ITV said, “ITV has apologised for the mistake which led to this incident.”

“The production was unaware that killing a rat could be an offence, criminal or otherwise in New South Wales, and accepts that further inquiries should have been made.”

I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here features stars surviving in the jungle, competing for money for their favorite charity.

More often than not, similar reality TV shows have contestants killing and eating what they find in the wild or simply eating what would be consider repulsive food for challenges or entertainment.

The fine issued to ITV may change the future of how contestants eat to “survive.”

The story of Temple Grandin is depicted in a new HBO movie starring Claire Danes.

Although not a vegetarian, Grandin’s work in animal behavior resulted in her designing more humane methods to apply to the livestock industry.

PETA’s president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has written a piece in the Sacramento Bee on Grandin’s work.

A few highlights:

“I admire her work in the field of humane animal slaughter. PETA would prefer, of course, that no animals be killed for food, but we won’t ignore the horrors of factory farms and slaughterhouses just because we wish that they didn’t exist.”

“Throughout her career as an animal-science professor at Colorado State University and a consultant to the American Meat Institute, Grandin has worked to improve animal-handling systems at slaughterhouses – markedly decreasing, although never able to stop completely, the amount of fear and pain that animals experience.”

“This may seem like a small victory – the cows are still going to be killed after all – but until the day that we get animals off the dinner plate altogether, is it too much to ask that we do everything we can to reduce the fear and suffering that they experience in the slaughterhouse?”
