Vegetarian Star

Jennifer “J.Woww” Farley of the MTV reality TV show Jersey Shore has launched her own line of clothing, Filthy Couture. The collection features swimsuit and casual wear, many of the items given a sexy touch with traces of lace.

“[For] the bathing suits I wanted to go with a grungy, or sexy-grungy look with the chains, but I also wanted to keep it girly with the lace,” Farley told People at the launch party for the line.

Best of all, Filthy Couture has been confirmed by Peta to contain no leather or fur, ensuring the wearer of the material looks her hottest.

“I am very proud of the fact that 20 years on people tell me they became a vegetarian as a result of ‘Meat is Murder. I think that is quite literally rock music changing someone’s life – it’s certainly changing the life of animals. It is one of the things I am most proud of. I think it was quirky to call the album ‘Meat is Murder’ and it was way ahead of its time, but we were on a label that let us do that kind of thing.”

–Johnny Marr, in a new book by author Neil Taylor titled “Document and Eyewitness: An Intimate History of Rough Trade” on how The Smith’s 1985 album Meat Is Murder inspired many of his fans to stop eating animals.

GZA is one of the founding members of the hip hop group Wu Tang Clan. This leader is not only an entrepreneur, he’s also an activist–he convinced the rest of the guys to go vegetarian. GZA interviewed with Eater on his diet, the band and his favorite veggie restaurants to patronize.

It all started with pork:
Yeah, none of the Clan members eat pork but you only have about four of us that are vegetarians, including DJ Mathematics — RZA, GZA, MastaKilla and oh! I think Meth is vegetarian now too! Cuz I used to always get on him with his steaks. I used to say you “you eatin’ a pig pussy T-Bone?” He’d be like, “C’mon Jus, cmon, GZA, man stop!” And then about a year and a half ago he was like, “You know I’m a vegetarian now, right?” I heard Redman was one too now actually.

Dita Von Teese has taken her burlesque striptease show to Paris, France, where she tantalizes with her sensual moves at the Crazy Horse. The American dancer divides her time between Paris and the United States, cramming in marathon French lessons and shopping at the markets in between routines, and admits she misses Los Angeles at times, partially because of the selection of vegetarian restaurants there.

“I miss driving my cars [Dita has a 1939 Chrysler New Yorker, a 1965 Jaguar S-type and a BMW Z4] and some of my favourite vegetarian restaurants, although I am not actually a vegetarian,” Von Teese told Connexion France.

France is sometimes known for being a paradise for meat eaters, but according to food blogger David Lebovitz, there’s no shortage in vegetarian fare in the City of Lights.

Big Brother is holding its live auditions and it looks as if another veggie could be cast as one of the housemates.

Sam is a 21 year old who lists his occupation as a “graffiti artist” but don’t expect to tag murals of cage-free hens or any other depictions of happier, freer animal life, as he could care less about them.

“I just hate the taste and texture, I don’t care about animals dying”.

Alton Brown has seen to it that bluefin tuna will no longer be used on Iron Chef America.

The host of the Food Network show had previously said he would boycott Nobu restaurant until it removed the endangered species from the menu. Recently, however, Makoto Okuwa served up a dish using bluefin tuna belly, which prompted a food blogger to address Brown about the issue, according to LA Weekly.

Joe Jonas was spotted taking a big bite of a veggie burger at vegan restaurant Real Food Daily in West Hollywood.

Would love to have this Jonas Brother put a purity ring on for the environment and promise to save his palate for meat-free meals forever.

One researcher at the Carnegie Mellon University estimated that swiping a veggie burger for a meat once a week can save the equivalent of 1860 km of driving. That’s approximately the distance from Colorado to Alabama or the amount of miles a screaming, hormonal teenage girl will travel to see Joe eat anything.
