Vegetarian Star

Olivia Munn PETA

Olivia Munn has bared all to spread the message about captive animals in circuses, especially elephants in an anti circus ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

According to Ace Showbiz, the ad will be unveiled on a billboard on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles today, so be prepared for the slowed traffic, open mouths and binocular watching from men in that area.

The ad reads, “As nature intended, let animals be free. Boycott the circus.”

Peta2 has written a few facts about the circus and treatment of animals on its blog.

An interesting fact: Elephants are no sedentary creatures. They may walk as much as 30 miles a day!

However, as Peta2 points out, circuses chain these animals and cart them from city to city, forcing them into such a small space when they’re let out, it’s impossible to even strike a yoga pose.

Hide the mouse from the cat.

Hulu has a pet channel, an all in one stop on the Internet for every good animal show, from Dog Town and Cesar Millan‘s Dog Whisperer to movies like The Lost Stallion to the clay animation of Wallace and Gramit.

It’s the Animal Planet of the Internet.

Like other Hulu shows, some of the episodes, clips and movies are more recent than others.

The clip below, from the Sundance Channel’s Big Ideas for a Small Planet, is about a woman who owns a natural pet foods store (ran with the assistance of her two Saint Bernards?).

Other clips from the channel feature the stories of dogs rescued in Iraq.

A recent article from a Northwestern University blog featured green pet ideas, from food to cleaning supplies.

Vegetarian and vegan pet food exists for both cats and dogs, but regardless if you choose to make your pet go veg, it’s always best to feed your animal food that is natural, organic and contains the fewest processed ingredients, according to Kelsie Dolezal, a certified veterinary technician at The Chicago Center for Veterinary Medicine, adding that it’s not difficult to “make your own.”

Xavier Rudd has just released a new album, Koonyum Sun, which probably means he’ll be living off almonds for a few days on tour to promote it.

The vegetarian admits it’s hard to find food in some cities in the U.S., despite a decade of practice.

“I’ve had 10 years of it now so I’ve done my research. I know where to go,” Rudd told Sydney Alive. “But sometimes it still is hard to find things to eat. Especially in Mid-West USA. I’ve gone for days there living off almonds.”

When there are other options besides almonds, Rudd also likes to dabble in rice and dahl.

Even if you aren’t forced to consume almonds for lack of anything better, you may want to check out tamari almonds.

A soy sauced up version of the nut is coated with flavor, with the perfect combination of salt and savory.

You can buy them already made or prepare them yourself.

Bethenny Frankel demonstrates making one of her favorite foods, Brown Rice Breakfast.

Bethenny says she prefers to use soy milk in place of dairy.

“You could use skim milk. I use soy milk. I think it’s a little bit healthier. I don’t like to eat too much dairy,” Bethenny says.

Rock on Bethenny!

This must be what the pregnant Real Housewives of New York City star is eating in place of sausage links in the morning to reduce her bloating problems.

The ingredients are simple: brown rice, almonds, raisins, soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cinnamon.

Watch the clip to have Bethenny show you how to put them together.

Sarah Brown, wife of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, is bent on making sustainable changes at her Number 10 Downing Street Residence, which include an organic garden with strawberries, peppers and parsley.

But she is also rethinking her choice of non-plant food.

Already having a tendency to avoid red meat, Sarah now sees the environmental consequences of eating too much fish, after watching End of the Line last year.

From The Observer:

“Last year I was very pleased to host a screening of The End of the Line – the stunning and scary film charting what is happening to the world’s oceans and fish stocks. When we sent out invites, many of the guests thought it was a hoax because they’d never heard of a film being screened at No 10 before and they couldn’t quite believe that one of the first would be about fish. But they came anyway and they, like me, were mesmerised by the evidence and footage about what will happen if we continue to treat the world’s fish supply in such a reckless way. I adore fish (and get a lot of my protein that way as I prefer it to red meat) and have become much more vigilant about what I’m buying and where it’s come from. Some restaurants and supermarkets have been fantastic at responding to consumer pressure on this – some are still behind.”

Pescatarians should arm themselves with the latest updates on which fish are healthy for people and planet.

Not only is Aiden Turner a hot, sexy male dancer and actor, he can cook too!

The eliminated Dancing with the Stars contestant told Buddy TV before he learned to do the Salsa, he was dicing Serrano peppers to make it from scratch.

When the All My Children actor made dinner for all of this season’s DWTS competitors, he made sure he whipped up a special meatless treat for the lovely Pamela Anderson.

“I hosted a dinner party for my fellow DWTS cast mates at the Andaz West Hollywood. It was so great to see them all again. I used to be a chef, so I cooked dinner for everyone at the hotel; even making sure that I made vegan food for Pamela. I’ve been a big fan of Pamela’s since Baywatch. She is a very busy lady and rarely goes out, but she promised that she’d make it and she did! I had a great time with everyone and it was a very special evening.”

Don’t know where Aiden learned to cook, but if you’re interested in improving your chef skills, take a look at a few of the vegetarian cooking schools and classes offered in the United States and England.

"Terriens" Georges Laraque

Georges Laraque is in between careers right now, after recently leaving the Montreal Canadiens.

While he decides where his next step should be in the NHL, Laraque is keeping busy with his activism.

Laraque hosts free monthly viewings of his French narrated version of Earthlings, Terriens, the documentary about the use of animals in food and fashion industries that prompted him to go vegan.

According to The Star, the screenings usually attract 150-200 people.

“We’re talking about how bad eating animals is, not just for compassion, but how bad it is for your health and for the environment,” said Laraque. “I’m not an extremist trying to force people to do so. I give them the information and people can make their own decision.”
