Alexa Chung Sets Animal Unfriendly Fashion Trend

She’s been great at setting trends for faux fur, but it would be even better if Alexa Chung got into pleather.

In January, Mulberry launched a bag named after Chung that, according to The Stylist, already has a wait list.

Mulberry chairman Godfrey Davis told the Evening Standard: “It’s clearly helpful for sales when someone like Alexa is carrying your bag.”

The Alexa bag from Mulberry looks gorgeous, but the “detachable and adjustable leather shoulder strap” makes it less than ideal for a hip vegetarian gal.

Would it be possible to get Alexa caught by the paparazzi sporting a more cruelty-free bag?

Finola Hughes Homemade Veggie Burger Suggestion (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 18th, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Recipes, Videos.

Finola Hughes offers her advice for making good tasting veggie burgers in this clip featuring the soap opera actress and Eliza Dushku.

“Grate up some beet in there,” Finola suggested.

Do you agree with Finola’s taste?

Or does her idea of perfecting a meatless patty make you do a veggie Lisa Simpson move and say, “meh.”

The next time you’re cooking, conduct your own experiment and throw a little beet in The Ultimate Veggie Burger recipe.

Paul McCartney gives a press conference at the European Parliament - Brussels

Paul McCartney is speaking out against a proposal to lift a ban on fox hunting that was put into effect in 2004.

“I, along with the majority of the British public, backed this historic victory for wildlife,” McCartney said, according to Yahoo News.

David Cameron, who is running for Prime Minister for the elections taking place in May, has said he will let members of Parliament decide if the ban should be lifted.

McCartney calls the practice of fox hunting “cruel and unnecessary.”

Kim Barnouin, co-author of Skinny Bitch and founder of Healthybitchdaily.com, has been interviewed by the Phillyist.

Skinny Bitch contains some pretty colorful language, which surprise some.

But when it comes to health, sometimes you have to be frank–it’s better to have a dirty mouth than a dirty artery.

“It was a very conscious decision to write the book like we talk normally,” Barnouin explained. “Yes, it’s a little harsh, but our country is in a health crisis. There isn’t time anymore for hand-holding. We wanted to wake people up and make them sit up and take notice about what’s in their food and how it gets to their plate. People are always telling me that because of the language, they were able to learn a lot of information and actually retain it and understand it. We talk to readers like they are our girlfriends: yes, a little potty-mouthed, but meant to be funny, not insulting.”

Kim is completing a cookbook that is scheduled for release later this year.

Andre Ward Knocks Out Dog Fighting

Ward v Molina

WBA Super Middleweight Boxing Champion Andre Ward is starring in a PSA for the Knock Out Dog Fighting Program.

The program partners with several organizations that come in contact with juveniles, such as law enforcement, schools and community centers in an effort to stop animal cruelty through education and by providing alternative activities for youth.

“Because of my accomplishments, I have a platform, whether I like it or not, and there are young and older people looking at me saying, ‘Ok, you’ve accomplished these great things but what are you going to do with your platform?’” Ward said.

“I plan to make a difference in the lives of others and bring awareness and knowledge to all who will listen about the cruelties of dog fighting and the link between those who abuse animals and those who abuse people.”

Ward has an undefeated record of 21-0 with 13 KOs as a professional boxer. He is also the only American boxer to win an Olympic gold medal in the past decade.
