Vegetarian Star

Hannah Teter struck a pose on stage during a speech at the recent 2010 Vh1 Do Something Awards, which are meant to highlight people making social change.

The vegetarian Olympic medalist was honored as a Do Something Athlete for her work with Doctors Without Borders, Children International and her own charity, Hannah’s Gold, which sells Vermont Maple Syrup to raise money for clean drinking water to people in Kenya.

The snowboarder who took the Silver medal at the Vancouver Olympic games has been vegetarian for a little over a year and enjoys smoothies and quinoa.

Stella McCartney is proving once again she’s an ethical leader in the fashion industry by proposing to design the hats worn by the Queen’s guards, according to The Telegraph. The hats are traditionally made from bearskin, but PETA is set to meet with Peter Luff, minister for defence equipment, support and technology, to discuss a faux alternative they say meets rigorous standards for waterproofing and warmth.

The technology that could make this happen is called Bear28.

“I’ve been working on this with Peta for a few years now and am really happy with the final product, as I hope the MoD will be when they see it,” McCartney said.

When Keane popped into Los Angeles for the Coachella Festival, the first place the guys stopped at was Astroburger so vegetarian drummer Richard Hughes could satisfy his herbivore needs.

“The tour bus took us straight to Astroburger and I was rather impressed with their veggie burger,” Hughes told the Laist.

Astroburger uses the Gardenburger brand meatless patty as a base for many of their creations, and can also whip out the flame-grilled variety or a bean burger. But that’s just the beginning of dressing up the veggie burger and many other items from the menu under the restaurant’s extensive vegetarian category.

Kellan Lutz

Eclipse hottie Kellan Lutz received a Vh1 Do Something award during the ceremony that was broadcasted live Monday night. The awards are meant to recognize people committed to social change.

Lutz was honored with the Do Something for the Animals award for his PETA ad encouraging people to adopt versus buy a pet.

Interacting with his canine co-star for the photo shoot probably came quite naturally, as Lutz claims he was a genuine Dr. Doolittle and had great conversation with the animals as a kid.

“I used to think I was Dr. Doolittle, or Kellan Doolittle,” he said. “I used to think I could talk to the animals because … my older brothers would pick on me and I had no friends because we moved around a lot.”

Bif Naked is supporting a bill introduced in Canada by Winnipeg MP Anita Neville that would ban the import of dog and cat fur into the country.

In an open letter on behalf of Fur-Bearer Defenders, Naked wrote, “I am concerned about the domestic cat and dog fur trade that is happening overseas, and I support legislation to ban the import and sale of these products. I am writing this letter to show my support for Bill-C439.”

Approximately 4,000 people have already signed a postcard campaign backing the bill. The problem may not be that so many Canadians support this fur trade, but that they’re unaware it’s happening.

Two entrepreneurs are feeling the heat from police in Russia and people around the world after they forced a donkey to parasail, thinking this stunt would attract visitors to their private beach.

An investigation is ongoing and the two could face up to 2 years in jail for animal cruelty. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time humans have used animals in an atrocious way to get attention.

Two years ago Chrissie Hynde met JP Jones at an art party in London. Jones suggested the two collaborate in songwriting together which led Hynde to do something she hasn’t done in decades–form a brand new band, Chrissie, JP Jones & the Fairground Boys.

Now the pair is embarking on another collaboration. They plan to launch a vegan clothing line in the fall, according to Spin Magazine.

No other details were revealed in the interview, but let’s hope that between the two of them, creative, ethical and possibly even professional attire for both sexes will be available to those with the highest clothing standards.

A performance of Chrissie and JP singing “If You Let Me,” can be viewed above.
