Morrissey “Interview Magazine” Article Criticizes Damien Hirst

Los Premios MTV 2009 - Show

Morrissey isn’t into the artworks of Damien Hirst, and he let Interview Magazine know it.

Hirst is famous for using dead animals preserved in formaldehyde for his…masterpieces.

Yeah, it all sounds so breathtaking.

Morrissey had nothing but good things to say about Hirst, including the fact that Hirst should have his head “kept in a bag” for the way he uses dead animals.

According to Contact Music, Morrissey said, “I dislike the ‘use’ of animals in art, such as in the work of Damien Hirst… Dead butterflies, cows, horses, humans, sheep and sharks – it reads like the inventory of a funerary Noah. How many halved calves suspended in formaldehyde does the world need? To my way of thinking, none.”

Hirst should leave the preserving to Smuckers, right?

Mary McCartney Shares Recipes For Meat Free Mondays

McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Photocall

Mary McCartney is sharing her recipes to promote the McCartney family’s Meat Free Monday campaign.

Growing up, Mary says she wasn’t necessarily into eating healthy, and enjoyed the taste of meat.

Like her mother, she advocates eating vegetarian to her children, but doesn’t demand it.

“I liked the taste. But it wasn’t a rebellion. Mum always said, I don’t cook it, but you’re allowed it. And that’s what I say to my kids. The difference is that then we did it because we didn’t want animals to be mass farmed. Now it’s because meat production puts such pressure on the environment.”

Mary says although she’s influenced by her mom’s style of cooking, she tends to bake more and finds it easier to translate her culinary ideas into a recipe.

Mary is putting less pressure on the environment with her recipes for sauteed leeks, puy lentils and feta and aubergine layered bake.

Yoko Ono and Heather Mills may be worlds apart in character, age, and professions, but they have one thing in common: Both were married to former members of the Beatles!

Yoko and the late John Lennon posed for a very sexy, “Give Peace A Chance,” photo that was later adapted to promote vegetarianism, starring Corey Feldman and wife Susie Feldman, the tagline changed to Give Peas a Chance.

Heather had a brief, extremely public, and tumultuous relationship with Paul McCartney that didn’t last, but we’re crossing our fingers her new vegan restaurant V Bites does.

So between the two “wives of a Beatle,” who would you rather…

Activists and longtime veg couple Peter and Mary Max will be hosting the launch of the film, Standardized Testing on Friday, June 19th from 6:30-8:30 PM at the Max Studio at 37 West 65th Street, 7th Floor in New York City.

Standardized Testing follows activist Kelly Overton  as he returns to his Alma maters of Harvard, Tulane, Columbia, and UMass in an attempt to return his degrees and get his tuition refunded to bring attention to the controversial medical research being conducted on animals in university labs.

According to the Standardized Testing website, “The film uses scientific and economic data to show how medical research done on animals wastes billions of tax dollars annually, obstructs medical progress and needlessly tortures and kills millions of animals every year.”

Overton is the founder of PATH, People Protecting Animals and Their Habitats. PATH, according to its website, “advocates for the humane treatment of all animals, as well as the conservation and protection of areas that are vital to the survival of endangered or threatened species.”

Tickets for the event may be purchased  at ppath.org.

The 6th Annual Womans Day Red Dress Awards - Arrivals

From now until June 7, you need to get your tails down to Sirani Gallery on Forbes Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The lovely works of Peter Max are on display there, including his 44 Obama paintings and a total of 180 mostly unique works.

That’s a lot of numbers!

What kind of man has the energy to paint 44 pictures of President Obama? Max credits his endurance to yoga and a vegetarian diet and says he feels like a college kid again.

“I feel like I’m 22 years old,” Max said. “I have 100 people who work for me. I’m involved in animal rights. My wife and I are involved helping hundreds of organizations.”

He may feel like a newbie, but one thing’s for sure: Max is earning way more money that most young, starving artists.
