Vegetarian Star

Bill Maher has a guest post at the New York Daily News urging his Canadian friends to make strides towards ending the country’s annual seal hunt.

Ever the sarcastic personality Maher is, he uses examples of how other governments have agreed the hunt is senseless, while Canada falls behind even the…gasp…United States Senate!

“Opposition around the world is growing. Last year, the U.S. Senate – a group of people who usually can’t agree that the sky is blue – unanimously passed a resolution calling for an immediate end to the annual slaughter. But the Canadian government just keeps putting its fingers in its ears and singing “la, la, la” so that it won’t hear anything it doesn’t like. Or, if it does hear, it responds with all the subtlety and sophistication of a fistfight in the men’s room at a monster-truck rally.”

Eat your veggies or pay a fine?

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan was asked by Senator Tom Coburn is she thought it was constitutional to require people to eat three servings of vegetables and fruits daily to cut health care costs.

“Sounds like a dumb law,” Kagan said. “But I think that the question of whether it’s a dumb law is different from … the question of whether it’s constitutional and I think that courts would be wrong to strike down laws that they think are senseless just because they’re senseless.”

The question was jokingly thrown at Kagan by Coburn, but was alluding to the idea of whether people should be required to purchase health insurance, a measure part of the health care overhaul that’s expected to be challenged nationwide.

Kim O’Donnel, blogger at TrueSlant.com, who has written for the Huffington Post, Washington Post and Real Simple, has written a cookbook, The Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook: Vegetarian Recipes Carnivores Will Devour.

The book is meant to serve as an aide for those interested in implementing Meatless Mondays, as it contains 52 recipes which may be prepared over the course of an entire year to gradually acquaint the carnivore with vegetarian cuisine.

O’Donnel recently released a video about the book, where she asks, “Do you have a Mr. Sausage in your life? Or maybe you’re Mr. Sausage. Mr. Sausage is that person who cannot imagine not eating some kind of meat.”

Mr. Sausage, meet the Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook. We’re sure this is a relationship that will last longer than those hotdogs infused with preserving nitrates.

The cookbook is scheduled for release from Da Capo Lifelong Books in September.

Jessica Simpson‘s recent vegan Tweets have prompted PETA to send her a care package.

Along with a copy of their latest Vegetarian Starter Kit, Jessica will receive Alicia Silverstone‘s vegan cookbook, The Kind Diet.

Should we expect to see Tweets about Jessica’s love for Pecan Crusted Seitan or Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups in the future?

Back during the Winter Olympic games, figure skater Johnny Weir almost got the skin taken from his back by animal rights activists after he skated in a costume trimmed with rabbit fur.

That was just a sneak preview of an utterly, disgusting, even more X-rated fur porn show.

Weir opens up his closet in this video to reveal he has lynx, fox and other creatures lurking in his bedroom.

Despite all the wild animals at his residence, Weir sleeps well given the fact none of them are alive!

Sure wish he’d skate over to a fake fur shop and donate those creatures to charity!

“There are some seriously sexy vegetarians in this world (see: Prince). The kind folks at Peta recently asked their supporters to vote for their “sexiest Vegetarian celebrity” and today I learned I won that title, along with a dude who disproves the silly lie that Vegans cant be strong: Biggest Loser trainer, Bob Harper. I am really honored, and very inspired to continue living the vegan lifestyle that has been so good to my body, my animal friends, and the world we live in. So thank you, PETA, and thanks to all who voted for me!”

PETA’s has tallied the votes for sexiest vegetarians and vegans Bob Harper and Olivia Wilde have been crowned King and Queen.

A healthy body weight is linked to sexiness and as one of the coaches on the weight loss reality TV show, The Biggest Loser, Harper spells sex with a capital “S.” He recently revealed he’d gone vegan and he encourages contestants on the NBC show to adopt at least a mostly vegetarian diet to reach their weight loss goals.

Now that Wilde holds the title of PETA’s sexiest female, she can now boast to her husband she’s royalty too.
