Vegetarian Star

Kirsten Dunst attended the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum’s Rodarte exhibit where the NY Post was able to catch her thoughts on the fur explosion at New York Fashion Week.

“You know what, I don’t hate on people that wear fur, obviously, but I just, as an actress I know that I repre — like, people go, ‘Oh, she looks cool in that,’ and it’s not my fave. I don’t want animals being killed for — it’s not my favorite thing.”

That’s quite a mouthful to take in, but the Veg Star thinks Kirsten meant something like this:

KD: You know what, I don’t hate on people that wear fur
Translation: I won’t throw paint on you if you wear fur

KD: as an actress I know that I repre — like
Translation: I don’t want to set a bad example by wearing fur

KD: people go, ‘Oh, she looks cool in that,’ and it’s not my fave
Translation: She looks really ugly in that. Some people have really bad taste in fashion.

KD: I don’t want animals being killed for — it’s not my favorite thing
Translation: Killing animals for fur is just wrong. Period.

Leona Lewis may be the next vegetarian to pose for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

The singer said she’d consider one of the animal rights group campaigns, such as the famous “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” posters.

“I would love to do a campaign for them in the future,” Leona said, according to The Mirror. “I’d definitely look to do something if it was done tastefully and for the plight of animals everywhere around the world.”

Fans of Daryl Hannah might see less of her on screen, unless there’s a casting for the female Evan Almighty in the works.

Hannah says she prefers spending time with her animals than on a movie set, according to Contact Music.

“I’ve been acting since I was 11 years old and it’s an incredibly wonderful and beautiful creative outlet and I think it can be an inspiring thing for people’s imaginations and a wonderful escape,” Hannah said.

“I still love movies and I always will but, as I grow up, my priorities shift a little bit to things of a little more substance and I want to be of service as much as I can.”

Having alpacas, chickens and roosters, she’s got plenty of non human friends to give her attention to.

Hannah says she often takes in rescue animals and the ones she doesn’t give away become permanent residents at her farm.

Working In The Shadows

Working in the Shadows, a book by Gabriel Thompson, chronicles the author’s experiences working alongside Latino immigrants.

The jobs were often low-wage, monotonous and less than ideal.

Two particular short term careers Thompson held were at opposite ends of the spectrum–a lettuce farm and a chicken factory.

Harvesting lettuce in the hot sun sounds miserable, but working the graveyard shift handling greased down chicken meat sure comes in a close second.

Enough to make you go vegetarian, that’s for sure. And according to the New York Post, Thompson already was.

Have you ever worked for a company that you couldn’t buy lunch from because the food blatantly conflicted with dietary restrictions?
