Vegetarian Star

Joan Rivers recently took a charity trip to China where she fears she may have eaten canine meat.

“You say to them, ‘Is this dog? Just tell me,’ and they say, ‘No, no, no…’ (but) I know I ate dog.”

“I love dogs; I have three rescue dogs – you hate to eat what you love.”

The easiest way to avoid eating what you love is to avoid eating meat altogether. She was in China, after all, where she could have easily asked for a platter of tofu, rice, and veggies.

Many animal rights activists are cheering now that an Indian Supreme Court has ruled not to kill the stray dogs in Mumbai, a case that received lots of attention in the media due to Pamela Anderson’s interventions.

She wrote a letter to officials asking that instead the dogs be sterilized, citing evidence that this was more effective.

“Dogs cannot use condoms, but with the municipality’s help, they can be ‘fixed’ — painlessly, quickly and permanently,” she said.

India’s Supreme Court ruled that a dog could only be put down if it were rabid, mortally wounded, or incurably ill.

“A dog cannot be exterminated because it barks,” senior lawyer Fali S. Nariman told the court.

A spokesperson for PETA, Anuradha Sawhney, said that Anderson going public with her opinions and giving the case so much attention may have affected the decision.

“It makes people realise that a lot of people do care about these animals,” she said.

“I think the main thing here is that we need to make people realise how important these dogs are and there’s really nothing demeaning in having a stray dog. They’re just another dog.”

Every body’s (well, not every body’s, as she’s losing the Who Would You Poll) veg detective actress spoke with Sprig.com about being green and how to get greener.

Emily Deschanel went to a high school that valued students’ green grades as much as their math and science G.P.A. She also shops at vintage clothing stores and wants solar panels in her home. Her number one green secret is being vegan.

Speaking of vintage clothing, here’s a vintage dress she wore to The Upfronts, a meeting with television executives, the press, and advertisers. She’s looks stunning! Oh, yeah. Who’s bringing vintage back? Em’s bringing vintage back!

Whether you like PETA or not, you have to admit they do have their own successful MTV/Vh1 channel thing going with all the celebrity PSAs they have recorded. You could probably do a top 10 countdown of “Best Of” every year if you wanted to.

The latest is done by actress and musician Daniela Sea, who plays the computer tech Moira/Max Sweeney on Showtime’s The L Word.  A quote from Daniela in her video:

“The meat industry doesn’t want you to think about all the animals they are torturing and killing. And they definitely don’t want you to think about all the diseases related to eating meat. Their only concern is making a profit. Along time ago I made a decision to quit eating meat and dairy products…”

You can head over to PETA’s site to watch Daniela’s video as well as enter to win an entire season of The L Word on DVD if you leave a comment describing your favorite vegetarian L word: Lunch.

Several celebrities, including Zoë Kravitz, Slash, Anthony Kiedis, Emily VanCamp, Adrienne Bailon, Danny Masterson and Alan Cumming recently attended a screening of A Sealed Fate, a documentary film /photo exhibit by photographer Nigel Barker for The Humane Society of the US on the lives of baby seals before they are slaughtered.

The event included a vegan dinner celebration, which surely came in handy for vegan Kiedis. It’s not known for sure whether Zoe is a vegetarian, but she’s certainly partaken in vegan grub with mom, Lisa Bonet.

Paris Hilton got to benefit from eating something besides the disgusting beef and cheese sliders she usually enjoys as she was also on the attendee list.

Don’t be fooled, Paris still likes her meat, which is why she made a “special request” to sit next to beefcake hunk Nigel.

Who would’ve thought when we posted the information given by Gossip Girl book series author Cecily von Ziegesar about book Aaron being a vegan that there would be more veggie “gossip” about the show to come.

In the latest scoop, Blair (Leighton Meester) and Serena (Blake Lively) make a joke about seitan, which some people think is a jab at the Brown University hippie vegetarian culture.

Serena: I’m just reading the Brown catalog. Oh, and I ordered a home dreadlocking kit. Wanna meet up later?

Blair: Definitely! Maybe we can get a jump start on your veganism — have some celebratory seitan at Angelica Kitchen?

Serena: I can’t think of anything better…or grosser.

Katie Molinaro, a blogger for the Huffington Post, didn’t think the joke was very funny. She often writes posts on vegetarian/vegan issues and had this to say about the clip:

“Groan. “Gossip Girl” writers, really?…It’s time to grab your Marc Jacobs trench and step outside of the writers’ room for a minute.”

“In addition to being terribly outdated, referring to vegan food as gross shows how uninformed the writers are. There are vegetarian restaurants around the country that are serving innovative and delicious meatless dishes, and Gossip Girl’s hometown of New York City has some of the best. Perhaps before writing another circa 1987 vegan joke, the writers should try the sweet and sour seitan nuggets at Tiengarden in the Lower East Side or the flame-grilled seitan skewers at Blossom in Chelsea or the soul chicken platter at Red Bamboo in Greenwich Village (and Brooklyn, but with the things they write about that borough I don’t think they’re welcome there).”

Molinaro then goes on to nominate the Atkins diet as the new butt of a food joke because of its high fat, greasy red meat content.

Go Katie!  We second the nomination. Go watch the video of the clip in Katie’s post, then tell us what diet or food product you would like to be the butt of the joke.

It’s no secret we have jumped on Gywneth Paltrow’s turkey eating behind for her website Goop, which has regularly recommended a plethora of meat dishes, even though she has claimed that she and hubby Chris Martin are “pretty much vegetarians” at home.

It seems that husband Chris, frontman for Coldplay, has issues with her site as well. According to Showbiz Spy, the website is causing friction in their marriage.

“He hates any exposure outside of what he considers necessary – his music, charity work and her acting. He thinks Goop’s self-indulgent and hates the speculation that the advice she gives on relationships or family problems may be an insight to their own personal life.”

Granted, the source did say family problems or relationships. However, Chris might be also ticked off that the site is causing other types of speculations. Like maybe, they actually eat turkey in their personal life? Chris has been known to be a vegetarian for some time, (World’s Sexiest, to be exact) before Gwyneth even told everyone about their “pretty much vegetarian” life at home.

The source continues, “Gwyneth doesn’t want to come across as a hypocrite.”

But oh, how she is doing so.

“She knows people will think that advice she’s put on the site is a reflection of what’s happening in her own life, but if she distances herself from those assumptions, people wouldn’t buy into Goop.”

So that’s it! Gywneth really isn’t a turkey burger eating, fish sucking gal at home after all. She’s just pretending to be to attract carnivorous fans.

Pamela Anderson is known to tell other countries what they should be doing with their sex lives, now she’s at it again, this time writing a letter to India’s financial capital, Mumbai, asking that stray dogs be sterilized rather than killed.

Mumbai’s high court has recommended the dogs be killed, saying they are a nuisance to the public.

Pammie says just put a doggie condom on it. A permanent one.

”Dogs cannot use condoms, but… they can be fixed painlessly, quickly and permanently,” she wrote in a letter to city authorities and cited studies conducted by the Animal Welfare Board of India and the World Health Organisation.

”It is well established that killing stray dogs is not a permanent solution to controlling their populations…mass sterilisation of stray animals is the most viable solution to nuisance and health concerns in addition to being more humane.”

The dogs are practically a city of their own-70,000 strays wandering the streets of Mumbai and some say they are attacking pedestrians and cyclists.

The solution to animal control is never easy and stories such as these are a constant reminder that Bob Barker couldn’t have said it enough when he advised people to spay and neuter their pets.
