Vegetarian Star

Pamela Anderson never shies away from irony.

If it’s not being the vegetarian who opens a strip club that serves steaks, it’s promoting vegetarianism in a restaurant that serves foie gras.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Anderson wrote to Montreal’s Restaurant Globe, the venue where she debuted the pro-vegetarian ad banned by city officials because it was deemed sexist, asking it to remove the delicacy created by forcing ducks to eat so much food their livers swell several times the normal size, causing pain and death.

“Surely the irony was not lost on you that I was unveiling a pro-vegetarian ad at your restaurant,” Anderson wrote.

“It’s almost been nine months with this vegan stuff. It brings some great energy.”

–Mike Tyson, on his Twitter account about his new diet. The only thing he misses is a Baby Ruth candy bar. You can do it, Mike. Devour the vegan Go Max Go version of Snickers,  Snickerz instead.

Bold Native

A Bold Native premiere will be hosted tonight by vegan businessman Russell Simmons. The fictional film depicts the story of an Animal Liberation Front member wanted by authorities and his corporate employee father who’s trying to reach his son before officers do.

Girlie Girl Army interviewed a few key figures from the film, including Denis Henry Hennelly, writer and director; Casey Suchan, producer and editor; and Joaquin Pastor who plays the main character. There is irony in the fact that Suchan used to work for McDonald’s and took home some of his wages in “Big Macs” before rethinking the ethics of his food choices.

More details on the Chelsea Clinton and lifelong friend Marc Mezvinsky wedding are being leaked as the July 31st wedding date approaches.

It’s already been reported that the reception menu will contain vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free items. Now it’s been discovered that not only is Chelsea vegan, she is allergic to gluten and also follows a gluten-free diet, and the cake will be made with such specifications.

Gluten, the protein found in wheat, barley and rye causes small intestine damage to those with a sensitivity to it and prevents them from absorbing nutrients. Common alternatives include oats, millet, rice and items labelled “gluten-free,” but according to a new survey, there are many products claiming to be gluten-free that have been tested and contain contaminants.

Are treehuggers out to save the Earth to help everyone who inhabits it? Or will they take everything for themselves and tie-dye it?

Stephen Colbert pokes fun of environmentalists in this clip from his segment of On Topic: The Environment–Wimpy Treehuggers and Dirty Hippies from The Colbert Report.

He makes hypocrites out of a group of people rebuilding Noah’s ark to raise awareness about global warming, saying, “For a bunch of environmentalists, they’re sure cutting down a lot of trees.”

Freegans–those who eat leftover from the garbage–are not spared as well as the organic food industry.

“I’ve always been against organic foods. If I wanted to ingest something a hippie picked, I would eat an autoharp.”

Brigitte Bardot found out about the Russian entrepreneurs who made a donkey parasail over a beach, forcing beach goers that included children to hear the animal screaming in terror. Makes you wonder who was really the ass in that situation.

Pretty easy to guess she’s not too happy about the fact the two will not face animal cruelty or any other charges. That’s why she wrote to Russian prosecutor Yury Chaika, asking the Russian official to reconsider legal action against the donkey’s owner.

“The donkey was strapped to a parachute and for more than half an hour was sailing in the air, screaming from horror and causing shock amongst children and adults on the beach.”
