Vegetarian Star

So there are different beliefs on what constitutes being a vegetarian or vegan. Obviously, eating a hamburger makes you no sort of vegetarian, but can you be a true vegan and still have honey? And does wearing leather shoes make you a hypocrite?

Corey Feldman doesn’t think so and is fed up with media being critical when he does so. Especially when he didn’t buy the item he’s being criticized for.

“People always want to point a finger at you,” he said, in an interview with Ecorazzi. “You know I did this show years back called “The Surreal Life” and the number one thing was people giving me shit all the time because of some edited scene where I’m fighting with Gabrielle Carteris saying, “Oh well you’re wearing leather shoes,” and they never got my argument into it.”

“…if somebody gives you a pair of shoes, say for Christmas, what are you gonna do throw them in the trash because they’re leather? No, you have to honor that animal that died for it. But I’m not going to purchase it.”

Actually, that does sound reasonable. Even PETA donates fur coats to the needy, because it makes “the best of an awful situation,” after those who bought the fur decide it’s no longer ethical to wear it.

Actress Daryl Hannah has stated she only wears leather when it’s a gift, after being questioned about a pair of suede shoes she was wearing.

Moral dilemmas never have easy solutions. How do you or would you handle one like this? Do you wear wool or leather if given to you? Do you pass it along to charity? Let us know, and help everyone else make a better decision as well.

Following the trends of Alicia Silverstone and Paul McCartney, a Bollywood actor has decided to put his puppy on a vegetarian diet.

Shahid Kapoor is a vegetarian Bollywood babe who once dated fellow Bollywood babe Karena Kapoor, also vegetarian.

According to Bollywood Celeb Den, a source revealed that, “Shahid has put his doggie on a veg diet. The poor animal is not allowed to eat any sort of meat!” And not even the bone.

While the source may feel sorry for this dog, we know he or she is getting the good stuff! And like Alicia Silverstone’s dogs, he’s probably not farting nearly as much as before. The dog, that is. We can’t speak for Shahid.

Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan has been urged to only serve vegetarian food at India’s Live Earth festival on December 7th, 2008. Bachchan is the spokeman for this year’s event.

Live Earth is an annual event which features live performing artists and talks given by famous environmentally conscious people (Al Gore is in this year’s lineup) to raise awareness about environmental issues. Peta’s letter to Bachchan equates serving meat at a festival about improving eco-friendly relations to giving out cigarettes at an anti-cancer event. Ouch! Point taken.

“On behalf of PETA, India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to kindly ensure that no meat is served at the event by urging the event’s organisers to honour the spirit and goal of Live Earth by serving only vegetarian food, ” said Peta’s Chief Functionary, Anuradha Sawhney, in a letter to Bachchan.

“By doing so, you will send a strong message, that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits. After all, selling meat at a concert to benefit the environment would be like selling cigarettes at a cancer charity fund-raiser.”

“We also hope that you will take the opportunity to talk about the benefits of a vegetarian diet during the event, thereby educating millions of people watching worldwide. The animals and the environment would thank you – if they could – for taking such a noble step on their behalf.”

Some celebrities expected to perform include Will.I.Am, Anoushka Shankar, and Bon Jovi.

Farm Sanctuary, an organization created to combat issues of animal abuse on farms,  will be holding a benefit on December 4th, 2008 at the Art Director’s Club in New York City.

“Winter Wonderland,” will feature gourmet food from NYC’s best vegetarian restaurants, a silent auction, and of course, celebrities to mingle with, like Corey Feldman.

Sure hope he’s wearing more than what he was in the Give Peas a Chance ad, which played upon one John Lennon and Yoko Ono did years ago. New York’s a little cold in December for that, Corey.

Other notables you might get to rub elbows with are Jennifer Coolidge, Peter Max, Patrick McDonnell, Tatum O’Neal,
Daniela Sea, Ally Sheedy, Princess Superstar, Loretta Swit, and
Justin Theroux.

General admission tickets are $100, so if you’re a young, freshly graduated from college adult or pinching pennies, put some back from your paycheck you got TODAY. It’s for a great cause and will put you in the mood for the season.

And who knows? Corey might not be wearing much after all.

For more information, visit the Farm Sanctuary website.

“It came down to one question, can you be healthy without killing animals? If the answer is ‘yes’ then the only reason you’re killing is because you like the taste. But you can’t take a life just because you like its taste.”
