Papa John’s is holding a challenge for its fans to create and name the next specialty pizza.

The contest started April 26 and runs through June 14.

Customers can go online to facebook.com/papajohns and create a specialty 14 inch pie with up to 7 ingredients.

According to Pizza Market Place, there are over 250 suggestions and healthier options are being favored.

For example, one customer suggested a Vegan Hawaiian Barbecue.

“With extra barbecue sauce and double pineapple, this specialty pizza becomes a Hawaiian luau in your mouth. No cheese and no meats makes this a delicious, healthy vegan alternative for your family.”

Papa Johns is one of the more vegetarian friendlier pizza companies for several reasons.

Their website clearly indicates which products contain meat, dairy and poultry.

In addition, most of their cheeses are made with synthetic or microbial enzymes versus animal.

So a vegetarian cheese pizza can be made more ethical by choosing any crust but pan and any pizza except the Tuscan Six Cheese one, both of which contain animal enzymes.

And for a vegan pizza, leave cheese off completely and follow recommendations for the crust.

Vanity Fair Celebrates The 2010 Tribeca Film Festival

Martha Stewart will feature gluten-free, vegan products on her show on Thursday April 29.

Martha will host the founder of NoNuttin, a line of granola bars, snacks and baking ingredients that are dairy free, egg free, nut free and gluten free.

And according to NoNuttin’s website at NoNuttin.com, there are absolutely no animal by-products in the foods, including honey and gelatin.

The Canadian based company sent a sample of their granola bars to the producers of the Martha Stewart show who were impressed with what they tasted and decided a segment about allergy friendly granola bars would work.

Yeah, business deals often go over well when there’s a full stomach of goodness at the table.

Olivia Munn Accused Of Wearing Leather Boots At PETA Event

Iron Man 2 actress Olivia Munn unveils her naked PETA billboard at the intersection of Highland Ave and Wilshire Blvd

It was the attack of the Attack of the Show host on Tuesday when Olivia Munn posed in front of both the billboard and poster displaying her PSA against circuses.

A visitor to the event saw that Munn was wearing a pair of boots that resembled leather and decided to make a fuss about it, according to The Superficial.

“I went to the PETA Protest today (4/27) in Los Angeles against Circus Elephants featuring Olivia Munn. It appears Olivia is wearing leather boots. I yelled out, “Are those boots leather?” but the PETA people got in my face and said, “This isn’t a leather campaign.” Olivia said, “They’re not,” but I was not allowed to examine the boots.”

The Superficial reader who called Munn out obviously lives in the dark ages, cause everyone knows about the availability of boots made from synthetic material, only looking like leather on the “superficial.”

Be it vinyl, faux leather, pleather, or whatever you call it, one looking to be fake has every option from an $800 Stella McCartney to a $21 pair from Target.

Maybe he just wanted to cause a scene and sensationalize things?
