Vegetarian Star

What do you get when you take an ex-corporate attorney who starts up a practice in an old shoe store in the middle of a seedy neighborhood?

A perfect lesson on humane mouse traps!

Of course that was your first answer.

“Harry’s Law” is a new NBC drama starring Kathy Bates as a former patent attorney fired from her old firm and forced to start over solo. During the pilot, we learn she’s started a practice in a store where the previous evicted tenant left more than hundreds of shoes behind. There is a rat problem!

Bate’s character Harriet Korn is a gun-toting granny, so she whips out the pistol one day and the rat problem is gone, advising an associate she  took care of the problem and it’s time to “call PETA,” after doing so.

And more people like yourself are opting for ethical and eco-friendly materials to symbolize their love.

Chef Gino D’ Acampo promised ITV’s “This Morning” that if they won an award, he’d cook naked on television.

Some promises are okay if broken. Really.

But D’Acampo kept his, and made gammon in the buff, the NSFW video below also revealing his special “sock” he took off, along with his apron, to really stay true to his word.

A naked Gino isn’t so bad, but he might have been hotter whipping up a plant-based Italian meal instead. We know factory farming is unhealthy for the environment, animals and people, and a film titled Pig Business examining the state of the pork industry in the UK illustrates this.

But that isn’t stopping him from using educational props to make a production about the quality of beverages available to students.

Bob Barker is more than generous with his wealth when it comes to animal charities.

The vegetarian’s most recent donation has helped rescue several circus animals, including lions, monkeys and a horse, from Boliva after the country banned animals in circuses.

A group called Animal Defenders International performed the feat with Barker’s donation and has named a lion cub in his honor.

This week must be the week to get naked in the name of saying “No” to fur.

Earlier we brought you the news of the NFL’s Willis McGahee’s nude anti-fur ad and now, we present you with Academy Award nominated actress Taraji P. Henson, who’s had roles in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All By Myself.

“I don’t think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period,” Henson said. “End of story.”

“When I realized what went into—not just, we’re not just even talking about a full-length fur coat, I’m talking about just … fur on your gloves or on your jacket or—what goes into making that little piece of fur ripped my heart out. And as humans, we have control. What if someone said, ‘Black skin is the new fur’?”

The behind the scenes video interview with Henson can be viewed below.

Hal Sparks thinks factory farming is no joke.

During one of his comedic performances, Sparks made humor of poor diets consisting of too many animal products. But in an interview he reveals the effects of raising animals for food is no laughing matter.

“The biggest issue for me is factory farming,” Sparks. “Because I can’t find an angle on it–and I dare anyone else to–that actually supports it in any way. It doesn’t make food cheaper and safer. It doesn’t make the environment better. It harms the people who consume it as well as the people who process it. And it’s horrible to the animals.”

What’s Sparks’ advice for the dying individual who wishes he’d had more time to spend with the family? Watch the clip below to find out.
