PETA Defends Steakhouse Strippin’ Pamela Anderson

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, April 18th, 2009 in Actresses, Not So Vegetarian.

Pamela Anderson at the Millionaire Fair in Amsterdam


The veg gal Pamela Anderson recently agreed to launch the opening of a strip club. A strip club located in a steakhouse.

While we feel this isn’t the best example a vegetarian should be setting, PETA is defending one of its biggest partners in meatless crime. A statement from the organization:

“Pam is not a host but may be attending as an invited guest, and since steakhouses nowadays have some of the best salad bars and veggie options around, we’re sure she’ll find plenty to eat should she attend.”

Well, sure, a steakhouse always has some vegetables. That’s why they call it “meat and potatoes.”

If she really wants to do some promoting, she’ll champion for a veggie burger on the steakhouse menu.

Opening Of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"
“It’s not that extraordinary. I like to go to Orso, ‘cause it’s right next to the theater. I love to go to the Harvard Club, where we’re members. I love to go to Daniel. Oh, my god, Bouley—way downtown; it’s brand new; it’s extraordinary. I went there for one lunch. I love little Chez Josephine, when I’m playing 42nd Street—Restaurant Row—I love to do Jean-Claude at Chez Josephine. You know, I go to the places that patronize me, that are good to me, and that are easy on me. Sardi’s always takes care of me—I always have their steamed vegetables and tofu ‘cause I’m dieting. I love the bread—the extraordinary, very, very, thin, paper-thin bread, that’s garlic and thyme, at Orso’s. I love the Harvard Club ‘cause they know me. I’ve been a member all my life, through my father, my husband, and my son. I love The Ivy restaurant in London. I eat there a lot. And I love The Ivy in Los Angeles, on Melrose. And I love The Wolseley in London. It’s fantastic. It was an old bank, like tonight [Gotham Hall], an old bank.”

Richie Rich - Backstage - Fall 09 MBFW

Pamela Anderson, usually one of the best true to their word veg Hollywood stars, occasionally has her flip ups.

Like when she didn’t know KFC, a company she frequently speaks out against, helped sponsor her Girl On the Loose show in Australia.

Or launching a strip club in a steakhouse.

Yes, the vegan Pamela Anderson has joined forces with Audrina Patridge and Samantha Ronson to launch the opening of  Sapphire New York, a Gentleman’s club, which is part of the Prime 333 Steakhouse on the upper East side of New York city.

Other guests on the attendee list include Sopranos cast members Vincent Curatola and Steve Schirripa. 

A strip club steakhouse? Really, Pamela, couldn’t you have found a better venue to attend a launch? How about an all natural juice strip club? Tutti fruity for booty?

Along with serving up blond and brunette meat (just had to say that), the club will feature several fillets and wines.

Angelina Jolie Looks Synchill-tillating On Salt Set

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 in Actresses, Fur.

Angelina Jolie filming in New York City

Angelina Jolie is looking awfully furry these days.

She wore this fur-lined poncho and matching Russian style winter fur hat while filming on the set of her new spy thriller movie, Salt.

But while this looks like chinchilla, it’s actually a fake, or “synchilla.”

Jolie’s reps confirmed to PETA that Jolie only wears her own skin and that hat and coat are both synthetic.

“The chinchilla is actually synchilla,” PETA blogged.

Hats off (or maybe on, in this case) to Angelina for keeping it faux real!

Miley Cyrus Saves A Chicken, Gets Some Chocolate

Miley Cyrus Performs On ABCs Good Morning America

Miley Cyrus’ intentions were questioned by TMZ when she was spotted looking for her aunt’s lost dog, but she’s racking up a history of animal rescue that no one will be able to dispute.

Miley shared the spot with some chickens on the set of Hannah Montana: The Movie and at the end of the filming, she decided to give them the Hollywood plush life and took them home.

As pets, not for dinner. According to Foxnews.com:

“Miley picked it up thought it was real cute and decided she needed to save this chicken. So she put it in a cardboard box with some pine straw and got her mom to take it home,” co-star Jason Earles told Tarts. 

PETA decided to reward Miley with their Compassionate Citizen Award. The prize? Vegan chocolates.

If this were the award for animal rescue, 50% of the population (cough, cough females) would be signing up for animal rights activism!

Kudos to Miley for rescuing the chickens. Good thing she’s done filming for the movie. We heard the camera adds ten pounds. Now she can freely indulge in her chocolates without worry .

Vote Vegetarian Lisa Simpson For New Postage Stamp

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, April 11th, 2009 in Actresses, Business, Pop Culture.

Ah, voting is the beauty of a free country.

Unfortunately, postage in the United States is nothing but free, as rates continue to increase.

Fortunately, the good old men and women that won’t let rain, sleet, and snow stop them are great about coming up with neat collector and special edition stamps that make price hikes hurt less.

The Simpsons will soon have their place in postal history and you have the chance to say whether you’d like to pay 44 cents for Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, or Maggie.

We’re rooting for vegetarian Lisa!

Vote here now!

You can also enter to win an autographed limited edition poster by Simpsons’ creator Matt Groening.

Result tallying starts April 13th and the instructions on the website say “vote early and often” so apparently you can left click until your heart’s content for Lisa.

Because she’s really the only Simpson who can say, “Don’t have cow, man,” and mean it.

Y-3 - Front Row - Spring 09 MBFW

She may eat veggie burgers from time to time ever since Sandra Oh took the Grey’s Anatomy cast and crew to lunch at Truly Vegan, but Ellen Pompeo insists she’s never becoming vegetarian. And we think the excuse is just plain tipesh.

Pompeo recently told People magazine, “I tried, but I get too skinny, and people think I’m anorexic. It just doesn’t suit my body type.”

“I’m naturally a waif,” she said.

She added that she works out extensively with a trainer three days a week to build muscle.

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen! You’ve been reading the wrong bodybuilding magazines.

We’re betting Brendan Brazier and his peeps at Vega would beg to differ and offer Ellen a nice collection of vegan protein powders and other supplements necessary to be a beefcake without the beef.

At least Ellen loads up on fruits and vegetables and avoid sugars and white flour.

Cloris Leachman, Girlfriend: Where’d You Get That Dress?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 8th, 2009 in Actresses, Fashion.

Cloris Leachman Unveils Her New PETA Ad In Times Square

Cloris Leachman’s gown for PETA’s Let Vegetarianism Grow on You campaign is no typical ballroom dress.

All the details of the fitting and adjustments were revealed at the L.A. Times blog.

L.A. designer Mia Gyzander, the same designer who dressed up Alyssa Milano for another “Let Vegetarianism Grow on You” campaign, created the vegetable based Cinderella costume.

Several heads of green leaf lettuce and red cabbage were required to assemble the bodice, which took a week to fashion.

“But to make sure Cloris was dressed in the freshest produce available, the full dress was assembled the day of the shoot,” PETA spokesman Michael McGraw told latimesblog.latimes.com.

So now we know.

Mia Gyzander has the skills to make vegetables look good on any figure.
