Vegetarian Star

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts latest album, Greatest Hits, is eco-friendly, much like the Blackhearts’ lead singer.

According to Tonic, the packaging is made from 100% recycled paper and biodegradable trays.

The CD is just a peek into Joan’s life of environmental friendliness, which includes not eating meat.

“I’ve always appreciated nature,” Joan was quoted as saying on a website biography. “Trees, grass, birds, sun, and even insects. I obsessively recycle. I almost never turn on lights; I pretty much live in the dark. I don’t use a lot of water. I am a vegetarian, so I avoid contributing to the major environmental damage that the meat industry creates. I hope that soon we can make sure that everything we do is earth-friendly.”

“The heroes of my book are small-scale family farmers. They tend to be responsible people who leave the Earth in better condition than they found it, know their animals as individuals and treat them with as much compassion as a farmer can.”

—-Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Eating Animals, as quoted by Metro.

Simon Cowell has recorded a video for the World Society for the Protection of Animals for their “Animals Matter To Me” campaign.

The WSPA is calling on all governments to agree to what is known as the Universal Declaration of Animal Welfare, which would recognize animals suffer and feel pain.

“I think animals deserve more protection,” Simon says in the video. “I don’t understand how anybody can get pleasure from hunting or killing animals.”

Hilarious comedian Sarah Silverman has a new man in her life, Alec Sulkin, who she became involved with after stalking, or, uh,  following him on Twitter.

“I wrote him a note that said, ‘You’re funny,’ ” she said, according to People. “When we finally met, he came over to my place, walked in the door, put out his hand and said, ‘Hi, I’m Alec.’ We’ve spent every day together since.”

Although she has nothing but kind words to say about the relationship, Silverman warns never to mention the “M” word to her.

“It’s just not for me,” she says about marriage. “I’m a vegetarian, but I don’t have a problem if you want a hamburger. Marriage, to me, is like eating meat. I think it’s gross and f***ing crazy. It’s this superbarbaric, old-timey tradition that no one remembers we don’t have to do anymore.”

Does marriage also come with increasing your risk of gaining weight in the abdomen, high blood pressure, clogged arteries and havoc on the environment?

Sounds like Silverman is pretty open to other lifestyles, as long as no one’s imposing one on her.

The next time you invite Silverman to a party, you can bring your married couples. But don’t forget your civil unions, LTRs and soley egg/sperm donor partnerships.

The Barbi Twins have spoken out against the annual seal hunt in Canada.

The pin up sisters Shane and Sia have decided to boycott some parts of Canada over the issue.

Sia believes most Canadians are ashamed of the hunt and the sisters have expanded their activism by posting a Facebook page called Save a Seal, Join Club Barbie.

This year’s quota for the hunt is 388,200 — an increase of 50,000 from last year, according to the Edmonton Sun.

Ever since partnering with Veggie Central, a program designed to teach parents how to incorporate vegetables into their children’s diets, Jennie Garth has been sharing tips for sneaking in those greens, oranges, reds and every vegetable color imaginable onto the plate.

One of Garth’s latest tips she shares with Fox is about getting the entire family to eat better.

“Participation leads to anticipation, so have children help in the kitchen as a way to spend time as a family as well as have them involved and interested in what they will eat.”

What are you waiting for?

Start the veggie chopping assembly line going with your kids today.

It might be a good idea to save the cutting for the “bigger” kids while having the younger ones wash and shred.

Watch a clip of Garth and learn more ways to convince kids to eat more veggies.

Donald Trump has donated $10,000 of his own money to the North Shore Animal League.

Vegan Celebrity Apprentice contestant Carol Leifer was competing so her favorite charity would win the big prize of $250,000.

Unfortunately, Leifer was sent home packing after her team thought she wasn’t a good fit for the project of running a diner.

Leifer said of her exit, “I saw myself being able to win it all, you know? It’s really a stone cold bummer that I’m the first one out!”

Leifer may not have won, but thanks to Trump, dozens of animals at the New York no kill shelter will come out winners.

Eva Longoria has shared a recipe for guacamole with Energy Times that includes all the basic ingredients of the rich, green whip, along with some tips from Longoria on what NOT to put in your guac.

“There are a lot of things that people put in guac that really do not belong there,” Longoria said. “Garlic does not belong in guac; mayonnaise does not belong in guac.”

Guess technically, Eva’s favorite soy butter doesn’t belong in there either, but who knows?

Longoria prefers Serrano peppers over jalapenos and says save the lime juice for dishes like pico de gallo or salsa picante.

Whip together the following ingredients for your next Desperate Housewives television night.

8 large ripe avocados
2 large tomatoes (diced)
1 large yellow onion (diced)
1 half-bunch cilantro (chopped)
3 small Serrano peppers
salt and lemon to taste
