Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will star alongside each other in Darren Aronofsky’s film, The Tiger. According to Entertainment.ie, the movie will be the first the couple has starred in together since Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

The Tiger centers around an animal rights activist who must save a village of people from a tiger who’s become accustomed to the taste of human flesh, a phenomena, according to Save The Tiger Fund, is rare.

Humans moving into areas where tigers inhabit and tigers that are too sick or injured to catch normal prey of wild pig, wild cattle and several species of deer are usually the causes of man-eating tigers’ behavior.

Ellen DeGeneres Or Ginnifer Goodwin–Who Would You [Turkey Whisperer Edition]

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 6th, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Polls/Surveys, TV Hosts, Who Would You.

Comments Off

Every animal needs a “whisperer.” Ellen DeGeneres and Ginnifer Goodwin may not know all the inner workings of the turkey mind yet, but theses ladies do know enough about the animals to realize they’re incredible sentient beings who deserve their own Thanksgiving feast and not spread across the table as one.

Ellen is serving as the Adopt-A-Turkey ambassador for Farm Sanctuary’s annual drive that raises money to care for turkeys on the grounds and last year, Miss Goodwin had the privilege of serving as bird publicist.

Between the two turkey whisperers, who would you rather…

Patricia De Leon PETA Anti-Bullfighting Ad Replaces Blood With Rose Petals

Patricia De Leon PETA

Patricia De Leon‘s anti-bullfighting ad has finally been unveiled by PETA. It’s refreshing to see a beautiful red dress on rose petals in place of blood drops, what would normally be the decor in a bullfighting arena. Earlier, we posted a Q & A session the model and former Miss Panama did with the animal rights group, where De Leon expressed distaste that bullfighting was celebrated in a culture with so many other beautiful, non-violent traditions.

Bullfighting is never a “fair” fight, as ultimately the bull can never be the winner. But there are other ways the matador can sabotage his opponent, causing more suffering to the animal before the fight.

According to PETA, the bulls are debilitated by being drugged and deprived of food and have heavy objects dropped on their backs. Some handlers engage in an illegal practice called “shaving,” where a few inches of the bull’s horns are sawed off, exposing nerves and further impairing the animal’s condition.

Juliette Lewis Knows Coconut Milk Is The Most Addictive White Stuff

Oh, no. The life of stardom has turned Juliette Lewis into an addict who can’t break the habit of the white stuff. The coconut stuff, that is.

“Since I’m a health freak, it’s my crack,” the actress told New York Magazine of coconut milk, before getting her fix of a smoothie with extra coconut and hemp protein.

Thankfully, coconut milk is both legal and readily available for purchase in the non-seedy parts of town during the daylight hours. One brand you might see regularly in natural foods stores in Thai Kitchen. Originating in Thailand, the excellent non-dairy substitute is made from pressing ripe coconuts and adding nothing else–no preservatives or chemicals.

Lea Michele Always Had Lighter Footprint By Never Eating Red Meat

Growing up in her Italian family, actress Lea Michele‘s meals must have consisted of lots of formaggio, but no carne.

Even though today she’s pretty much vegan, the Glee star also confesses she’s never eaten a piece of red meat in her life. Michele, who was scheduled to get a glimpse of Stella McCartney‘s vegetarian fashions in Paris, France recently, said, “I do a lot of work with PETA. I’m mostly vegan and I’ve never eaten red meat, so a brand that is beautiful without harming animals is my idea of fashion-forward.”

You could say she already had a significant lighter footprint before she gave up other animal products. While it’s ideal to give up all meat, just giving up red meat can have a major beneficial impact on the environment.

Good.is recently highlighted a graph included in a paper by Weber and Mathews of Carnegie Mellon University, which lists the impact of various forms of food and beverage on the environment, from the production to delivery to retail end. From the graph below, you can see that red meat produces more carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane emissions.
