Vegetarian Star

Russell Simmons will host the New York City premiere of Bold Native, a fiction film about the animal rights group Animal Liberation Front.

The combination of film screening and press event is Monday July 26 at 6 p.m. at Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue (at 2nd Street), in New York City. The film begins at 7 p.m and doors will be open to the press at 6 p.m.

Bold Native tells the fictional story of an ALF member wanted by the government for domestic terrorism and his CEO father trying to find him before law enforcement does. Other story lines in the movie include an activist campaigning for better treatment of farm animals.

“We need more creative, fun, impassioned and entertaining movies like Bold Native to drive the important message of animal rights to the masses,” Simmons, who will be available for interviews and photos during the screening at 6:15 p.m., said.

The trailer for Bold Native can be viewed below.

Rhona Mitra stars in the new ABC television series The Gates, a crime drama show with a supernatural twist.

It’s going to take more than superpowers to restore the Gulf Coast to its pre-BP disaster state, and the actress recently discussed her thoughts on the oil spill and environmental issues with Popeater.

On Hollywood being viewed as hypocritical for being green (e.g. taking private jets):
I’m very aware of people who want to be seen doing the right thing on the exterior so they can make themselves feel better. I have implemented things in my life that I do behind closed doors that on the outside don’t look like anything. For example I’m a vegan, which is a very touchy area because when people hear you’re vegan they’re like, ‘That’s so righteous.’

PETA is using the summer 2010 Vans Warped Tour to launch the campaign, “Elephants Never Forget,” meant to raise awareness of abuse circus animals endure.

After texting “NEVER” to 73822 (Peta2), cell phone users will be prompted to visit the PETA tent at the Warp Tour during one of its 43 dates from June 25-August 15. They will also be subscribed to a mobile list for the youth and teen division of Peta, Peta2.

The campaign is part of PETA’s ongoing efforts to educate the public about the conditions circus animals endure, with Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey being the biggest circus company as the target of the animal rights organization.

The digital campaign is made possible by Waterfall Mobile, the same company behind the campaign for the Oscar winning documentary, The Cove.

Stella McCartney Addidas Glow In The Dark

Love running in the dark and want to improve your visibility for safety reasons?

Stella McCartney has designed a set of glow in the dark sportswear items that features running shoes, shorts and more.

“Running is one of our most popular categories and for me to make it have its own point of view is really key,” said McCartney. “I think that we did it this season in a direct way by looking at glow-in-the-dark. When you are running in an urban environment, you need to feel safe, when people can see you coming and stand out, especially in winter when it gets dark earlier. But at the same time we used it on a leopard print, so it’s not so masculine and graphic.”

As would be expected from the vegetarian designer, Stella’s glow in the dark running shoes, priced at around $140, come completely leather-free.

Rapper Common was sighted in Chicago having lunch with his mother and daughter at Karyn’s On Green.

The restaurant offers raw, vegan food such as soups, salads and sandwiches and is owned by Karyn Calabrese, a vegan for 30 years who appeared on The Oprah Show on a segment on anti-aging.

Common and the fam dined on squash soup, a portobello sandwich and a vegetable wrap. Karyn’s lunch menu indicates the butternut squash soup is also gluten-free and contains chickpeas for an extra protein punch.

Seth Rogen is set to star alongside Barbra Streisand in My Mother’s Curse, a film about a son out to reunite his mother with an old flame.

Rogen is an inventor who’s just created an organic cleaning product he plans to show off to various marketing outlets while taking the road trip with mom.

It’s highly appropriate that the show has a mother/son/eco-friendly theme to it, given the recent reports on a woman’s risk of breast cancer after being routinely exposed to common household cleaning products.

The research conducted at Silent Spring Institute in Newton, Massachusetts found women who often used household cleaning products were 110% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those who used them less often. Those that used air fresheners were 90% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those who used them less often.
