Vegetarian Star

Yes, we’re still talking about New Year’s Eve, but then again, we’re still paying off the credit card bill from Christmas.

If you watched Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, you may have spotted country singer and recently turned vegetarian Kellie Pickler wearing a faux fur coat.

The faux fur coat was confirmed to be from Cincinnati-based Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs, a company that really likes to fake it-from fake fur to fake leather to fake lambskin, every piece of clothing imaginable was created without harming any animal whatsoever!

Some argue that fake fur shouldn’t be worn because others might like the style and buy a real one instead. But if word is gotten out on all the lovely fake furs there are to choose from, perhaps a takeover will happen in fashion where the coats worn by models are as fake as their bosoms.

If you’re going to fur it, faux fur it!

Victoria Beckham and Dannii Mingoue have expressed excitement about a range of vegan beauty products created by English beautician Deborah Mitchell, according to the Shropshire Star.

Not long ago, Ms. Mitchell was a mobile beautician with barely enough profits to make ends meet. Now she has a salon in London where she caters to stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Claudia Schiffer and flies to the U.S. to take care of star clients there.

Her product line, Heaven, is completely vegan and she thinks that’s part of what made her so successful.

“My products are completely organic and accredited by the Soil Association. They are vegan friendly and have all gone through stringent tests, sometimes for many years. I design it and then improve on it.”

Heaven products are sold in many countries from Britain to America to South Africa and are currently being negotiated to be sold in Dubai.

Baby Cakes, where actress Lake Bell stocked up on all her vegan desserts last Holiday season, has given several vegetarian and vegan celebrities a sweet tooth so big they’re willing to put a few kind words behind the cookbook that’s coming out in April.

After owner Erin McKenna was diagnosed with allergies to wheat and dairy, all she really wanted was a cupcake, but unfortunately, couldn’t find bakeries selling products that complied with her restrictions. So she opened her own.

Now she’s sharing her secret recipes for vegan, gluten-free, and some even sugar free cupcakes in her book BabyCakes: Vegan, Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York’s Most Talked-About Bakery, set to be released in April.

It’s already getting rave reviews and kudos from some great veg celebrities, including Pamela Anderson, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel.

“I have multiple food sensitivities…and I’d pretty much given up on the idea that I might be able to have a worthy treat every again. I was so excited to discover BabyCakes NYC, because not only can I eat everything they bake, it’s all delicious!”
—Zooey Deschanel

“At BabyCakes NYC I can eat what I crave without harming my lovely animal friends–or myself. Every since that first fateful day, I’ve been waiting for this cookbook.”
—Natalie Portman

“Thank all that is holy for BabyCakes NYC…”
—Pamela Anderson

There’s nothing sadder than being ahead of the game at halftime only to slide towards defeat during the last quarter.

The Linda McCartney food range created by Paul McCartney’s late wife was doing quite well weeks ago, but it appears that more than love is needed to prevent cutbacks from the staff.

The Fakenham Times reports:

“And there was another blow as vegetarian food producer Linda McCartney announced 17 jobs could be lost in manufacturing cutbacks. The news comes just six weeks after company bosses said soaring sales of the relaunched brand would give security for the 180-strong workforce on Holt Road.”

The Linda McCartney factory parent company, Hain Frozen Foods, had to cut back on production hours as well, even though there was a rise in the sale of its meat-free products.

Hoping for the best for the workers and their families as the companies try to weather the economic storm.

Vega training: part one of four from Brendan Brazier on Vimeo.

Brendan Brazier is a vegan Ironman triathlete who invented the Vega nutrition and energy products-completely plant based items that he started making as young as 15 years of age.

He met up with cartoonist and fellow vegan Dan Piraro one day who revealed that when he’s stuck in a creative rut, it helps to go on a long bike ride to get the ideas flowing again.

Brazier receives similar mental charges after running.

“I find it is really helpful when I go for a run,” he said. “I wrote most of The Thrive Diet while I was running. All of the ideas and the thoughts would seem to organize themselves, and when I got home, I would write them down.”

A component of his new book, Thrive Fitness: Mental and Physical Strength for Life, is teaching how exercises like “biking, hiking, in-line skating, rowing, running, speed skating, swimming, and brisk walking” fuel your right brain and release your creativity side.

Take a look at the video Brazier filmed about Vega. You’ll find it comforting to know he eats his own products, chowing down on an energy bar.

Now if you’ll excuse us, we need to go on a hike before posting again.

A few years ago, Dennis Rodman wasn’t even wearing a jersey when he agreed to do an anti-fur ad for PETA.

So why are we talking about a retired basketball player famous for dressing in bridal gowns who got naked over three years ago? Because he’s back in the limelight as one of the contestants on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice.

Rodman, along with other celebs like Tom Green and recently fur shunning Khloe Kardashian, will have the pleasurable experience of being humiliated by the world’s greatest real estate investor who also holds the title for the World’s Worst Hairdo.

Rodman has already broken boundaries outside of the boardroom. He was the first man that had enough balls to get naked and almost show his…well you know.

There are rumors that he sometimes followed a vegetarian diet, but it’s definitely been confirmed he detests the use of fur in fashion.

According to Contact Music, Rodman said, “furriers have pushed free furs” on him over the years, and he’s always refused. He even said that he was always embarrassed when an ex-wife wore furs.

With a set of ethics like those, there’s no reason why the former NBA bad boy shouldn’t be “hired.”

If you bleed Gatorade, there’s a chance you might be at tonight’s FedEx BCS National Championship Game of Florida against Oklahoma. Best of luck to ya!

Before the game, how about filling your belly with food from Sublime restaurant, located in Fort Lauderdale. The owner, Nanci Alexander, who also happens to be an animal rights activist, will serve up some delicious meat-free fine dining that’s perfect for some tailgate or after game grub.

Choose from tofu caviar, pizza with soy mozzarella cheese, or “Steak” sandwich made from Gardein protein substitute, among other items on the menu.

Her restaurant was on PETA’s top eight veggie establishments, so you know it’s got to be good. Plus, with celebrity visits from folks like Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson, and Bob Barker, you know it’s star approved.

For the final Who Would You Poll of 2008, we’re doing it geek on geek. Peter Rojas co-founded Engadget and Gizmodo, where you have all your nerd techie toys reviewed. Max Levchin created Pay Pal so you can buy those gadgets off eBay after they’ve become outdated-like within a couple of weeks or so after the original owner purchased them. Both are sexy meatless geeks who have loads of money in the bank. So who would you rather do…
