Vegetarian Star

Leona Lewis chose chef Aldo Zilli to cater 4 dates at the O2 arena on her current tour where all employees are banned from eating meat.

The chef who’s worked with stars like Freddie Mercury, Paul McCartney and George Michael says he’s introducing foods like spelt, barley and quinoa to give Leona energy on stage.

Zilli is a chef who has not only embraced the concept of Meat-Free Mondays, but has decided to make every day vegetarian in one of his restaurants he converted to veggie, Zilli Green, in the Soho district of London. Zilli Green offers vegetarian breakfasts, main courses like Cous Cous & Soya Burger with Pickled Cucumber, Avocado, Mustard Dressed Mixed Leaves, Homemade Mayo & Ketchup, Thin Chips and vegan desserts like the dairy free Tiramasu or the Organic Tofu & Limoncello Cheesecake.

The Hooters girls are attempting to offset that horrible ungreen practice they promote of eating chicken wings by helping to clean up the Gulf Oil Spill. It seems the pantyhose the ladies wear are good for something other than showing off great calves, and all 380 Hooters restaurants are asking employees to donate their used industrial strength pantyhose for Project Pantyhose.

The goal is to collect more than 100,000 pairs which groups Matter of Trust and Indigo Ocean will use to create booms that are 15 miles in length and potentially soak up 1 million gallons of oil. Great job ladies and looking great, especially in comparison to some other Hooters “girls” below. (more…)

So it’s pretty much unanimous that drunk driving is one of the stupidest acts to commit, as it puts everyone on the road at risk of death, not to mention the idiot who’s driving.

Don’t forget there’s one more reason to round up all the Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Students Against Drunk Driving and Parakeets Against Drunk Driving members in your neighborhood cause that offender may hurt an animal as well.

Animal rights group In Defense of Animals is ripping actor Chris Klein for allegedly Driving Under the Influence with a dog in the car.

Prince "Ebony"

How does a man in his 50s stay so slim and wrinkle-free all while retaining his chick magnet status? Must be the locally grown veggies.

Prince is featured as the cover boy for the July issue of Ebony and the crew had the pleasure of eating a four course vegan meal with the musician during the 12 hours they spent with him at Paisley Park in Chanhassen.

He’s set to receive the BET Lifetime achievement award on June 27, plus he was one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People for 2010 and was once voted PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian in 2006.

Here are a few highlights from what appears to be his emailed interview.

“You know, a lot of people talk about, “we should do this” or “we should do that”. Well, we actually follow those footsteps by making the world’s most biodegradable album using all recyclable materials, printing with soy ink, using a corn plastic disc tray… and then we took it a step further by doing green “off the grid” performances where we’re rerouting the standard power sources with biodiesel generators and using alternative energy. On the animal front side of it, I’ve done a lot of work with organizations like PETA, Farm Sanctuary, Last Chance for Animals, and the Humane Society. I’ve actually gone as far as being on the Senate floor in Boston to try and help pass laws with those organizations.”

—Corey Feldman, during an interview before a recent concert in Seattle, Washington.

Pete Bethune

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has severed its ties with Pete Bethune after learning he brought bow and arrows along with him on a mission.

A letter written by Sea Shepherd deputy chief executive Chuck Swift on the organization’s website explains the decision to part with Bethune.

“The bow and arrows revealed to be on the Sea Shepherd vessel Ady Gil, and in the possession of Captain Bethune on that ship, are absolutely not in line with Sea Shepherd’s policy.”

“Even though we know Captain Bethune’s objectives were sincere, that the bow and arrows were never used in Sea Shepherd actions and that he certainly never intended to use the bow and arrows against any person, his decision to bring them on a Sea Shepherd campaign is unacceptable.”

The Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper has stepped up his veggie eating game and gone completely vegan!

The once vegetarian who was a big loser in his cholesterol numbers–100 points–after dropping meat recently told VegNews that dumping all animal products from his diet has improved his health even more.

“I enjoy living a plant-based diet because it makes me feel clear headed and strong, not to mention my genetically high cholesterol dropped more than 100 points. That was all the motivation I needed.”

Harper, who has criticized high animal protein diets as a way to lose weight, recommends Biggest Loser contestants either follow a vegetarian diet, or one that is mostly plant based while competing on the show.

KJ Noons PETA

KJ Noons thinks animal abusers should throw a punch at him instead and see how they fare.

The Strikeforce MMA fighter and pro boxer has posed in this PETA ad against animal cruelty that reads, “Pick on someone your own size. Report animal abuse immediately.”

In an interview with the group, Noons said, “If you see an abused animal, think of it if it was your dog or your cat and how that would make you feel, you know, so you should feel that about every type of animal that’s abused.”
