Jonathan Mann ‘s video was chosen by Steve Jobs for the tune, “The iPhone Antenna Song,” to be played at a conference where Jobs addressed the problem of the iphone 4 dropping calls.

The 28-year old vegan routinely writes songs for people and events and his prices can range from $100-$500 or more.

Mann has an interview with Time Magazine on his career.

Dennis Kucinich was a speaker at the 2010 Animal Rights Conference in Virginia this past week where his message was to reconcile with nature.

Kucinich says we’ve disrupted this harmony by reckless exploitation of animals and destructive environmental practices that came with the industrial age.

“The central challenge of our times is to effect a reconciliation with nature. The schism between mankind and the natural world has become so pronounced in the 20th and 21st centuries.” After naming some examples of mankind disrupting nature’s balance such as mining and destroying animal habitats, Kucinich added, “All of these are indications of how far we have gone to separate ourselves from the natural world.”

Kucinich is suppose to announce sometime next month an initiative on how we can get back in touch with nature, or in his words, “relates to our connection with the earth and the environment.”

Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes will play a staunch vegan named Mary Powell who earns the love interest of meat eating co-worker Louis Ives (Paul Dano) in the new film, The Extra Man. Since the two are both working for an environmental magazine, it’s only fitting that Louis reduce his meat intake too–heck, even if it’s only to win Mary’s heart.

When he’s not sneaking looks at Mary, Louis spends his time with Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline), an aging playwright who’s agreed to take Louis under his wing and rent him a room in his rundown apartment.

Watch the trailer below.
