Martha Stewart is moving in on the eco friendly niche.

The domestic diva has a new line of eco-friendly cleaning products, Martha Stewart Clean.

Martha Stewart Clean products are made with at least 99% plant and mineral based ingredients, no artificial colors or fragrances, no sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and absolutely cruelty-free, as indicated on the company’s FAQs.

Q: Are your products tested on animals?
A: Martha Stewart Clean™ products are never tested on animals, and we do not allow our suppliers to do it for us. That’s why our labels carry the “Leaping Bunny” symbol indicating that our products are cruelty-free.

Q: Do Martha Stewart Clean™ products contain animal by-products?
A: No, Martha Stewart Clean™ products contain no animal by-products, unlike some other cleaning products (particularly fabric softeners).

Note: Many traditional fabric softeners contain animal fat.

The Martha Stewart Clean line is broken into the categories of Laundry, All-Purpose, Kitchen and Bath.

Besides her non animal tallow containing fabric softener pictured here, Martha’s line includes glass and mirror cleaner, carpet stain remover, wood floor cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, dishwasher gel, liquid dishwasher hand soap,  bathroom cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, and laundry detergent.

Mickey Rourke‘s new girlfriend, Russian model and actress Anastasia Makarenko, better not complain about sharing a romantic evening with his Chihuahuas.

Rourke said if it comes between a canine and a woman, it’s a pretty easy decision.

He takes his dogs to dinner with him at restaurants and won’t eat anywhere unless the establishment serves up a doggie bag with his dinner plate.

“We like to go to dinner together,” Mickey told animal rights group People of the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). “I just like to go out with them to restaurants, to take walks with them.”

According to Chowhound, the state of Florida became the first in the U.S. to enact a law allowing dogs in the indoor areas of restaurants, though many at least allow them in outdoor patio areas.

A good thing, as this may decrease the chances of a pet suffering to death in a hot car on an afternoon when its owner chooses to grab a bite to eat.

“The most important thing about having a dog and loving a dog is keeping the dog its whole natural life,” he added. “It’s not about saying four months later, ‘Oh I met some girl and she’s allergic to it’. No man, you can’t do that. You gotta get rid of the girl. She gonna leave you eventually anyway.”

Canines before cuties, man. It’s the only way to go.

Nicolas Cage is by no means vegetarian, but he’s chosen a very strange factor to determine what meat not to eat.

Cage says that pigs have the most undignified sex, and for that reason, he won’t touch pork.

Birds and fish get it on beautifully, though, and are fair game.

“I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales – sentient life – insects, reptiles,” Cage said.

“I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex. I think fish are very dignified with sex. So are birds.”

“But pigs, not so much. So I don’t eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl.”

Seems odd that Cage eats the ones who loves, the so called “sentient” ones.

Has anyone told him that pigs are some of the most sentient animals, having intelligence beyond a toddler?

What exactly it is about the fish and birds’ game that makes Nicolas proud is unknown, but if all the creatures start getting their thing on in the sloppiest of ways, maybe he’ll start admiring the reproductive cycle of wheat and soy.

Mario Batali "Meatless Monday"

Now that Mario Batali has embraced Meatless Monday at every one of his 14 restaurants, you might be wondering what you might find on the menu with the signature “MM” beside it.

Lupa Ristorante in New York City, for example, might have Meatless Monday patrons dining on Sweet and Sugarsnap Pea Cappellacci, a vegetable stuff pasta dish. And NYC’s Casa Mono features a beet salad with onions and honey almond granola.

Casino lovers in Sin City can go wild for wild leeks –Ramps charred alla piastra with olive oil, salt and pepper.

The Huffington Post has a beautiful slide show of some examples of Meatless Monday food in Mario’s restaurants.

Did Mike Tyson go vegan to get PETA off his back for racing pigeons in the new Animal Planet show, Take On Tyson?

A poll currently underway at the Huffington Post says “no,” with plenty of comments and opinions.

“The vagan [sic] crowd here on huffpost needs to go watch a few interviews with this man, and then come back and retake the poll. This guy doesn’t give a hoot about anybody but himself.”

“Go vegan, for any reason at all, and you will make the world a better place.”

And our favorite…

“Damn let the man be a vegan.”

Gene Stone

Gene Stone, an accomplished writer and businessman who’s trophies include Esquire editor and co-founder of vegan ice cream shop Stogo, allowed Supervegan into a glimpse of what life was like collaborating with Rip Esselstyn and writing The Engine 2 Diet, a book about a fire fighter who helped his station extinguish cholesterol and extra pounds by putting out meat.

Stone didn’t expect to have much in common with the Texan vegan, except for the fact they both shunned meat.

“I didn’t expect he would be liberal (politically),” Stone said. “I also didn’t expect we would have similar senses of humor and really enjoy hanging out with each other as much as we do. I’ve become very good friends with several other members of his family as well. In the summer, I go up to the Esselstyn family farm near Hudson and spend a weekend in vegan paradise, where two dozen or so Esselstyns gather and there’s nothing but incredible plant-based food everywhere, all the time.”

Getting along great with Esselstyn wasn’t the only surprise Stone experienced during his ghostwriting project for The Engine 2 Diet.

Originally, Stone became vegan to write the book, but found it impossible to go back to eggs, cheese and other dairy after it’s completion.

Joan Jett took time to talk with gossip site PopEater in between passing out Vegetarian Starter Kits in NYC’s Union Square earlier this month.

The five foot five inches rocker looks toned and more sculpted than ever, but says the feeling she got from eating meat made her feel like a balloon.

“I didn’t feel good eating meat. It felt very heavy, like it never left my body,” Jett says in the video.

“Being on stage, I didn’t want to feel [that heavy feeling], so I stopped eating meat initially for that reason,” she continued, adding that eventually her concern for animals sealed the decision.

If you had any hope that Cameron Diaz was going back to being a vegetarian, those dreams are about to be squashed.

The Shrek actress told SELF she went back to eating pork because it tasted so “damned good.”

If you prefer to get jiggy with a piggy, there’s no better time than now to explore the options of fake bacon, as there are numerous damned good tasting meatless options out there.

Try the B.L.T quality of Lightlife Smart Bacon or the fake McMuffin qualities of Yves Meatless Canadian Bacon.

Whether you’re motivated by emotion or the rational, thinking either “Babe” or “factory farms and swine flu go together like spandex on hot bottoms (or maybe the last part’s not so rational), these alternatives should keep your cart clear out of the meat section of the deli.
