Vegetarian Star

Several big celebrities attended a gala at Barbra Streisand‘s Malibu estate to celebrate awareness for heart disease in women and the renaming of the Women’s Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles to The Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center.

Streisand and the rest of the party planners definitely got one thing right. The menu was filled with heart-healthy vegan items like salad of watermelon and heirloom tomatoes, tuscan kale and quinoa pasta.

Could this have anything to do with the fact one of her guests was former president of the United States AND former heart surgery patient who happens to be doing a lot better thanks to switch to a vegan diet?

Wolfe is starring in a PSA for Last Chance for Animals’ Adopt, Don’t Shop! campaign.

Former president of the United States Harry Truman is credited for saying, “You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.”

However, if you want a good senator in Congress, your best bet may be a cat.

Matthew O’Leary and Anthony Roberts are trying to collect 10,000 signatures to send to the Virginia Board of Elections in an attempt to put their Maine Coon cat Hank in the race for U.S. Senate.

The campaign, which has an accompanying Facebook page, is meant to highlight the flaws in the political process.

All proceeds from O’Leary and Roberts work will go to animal rescue groups.
