Prince William and Kate Middleton are breaking a long tradition in royal weddings that some are speculating has something to do with influence of animal rights groups.

According to Hello Magazine, Kate will travel by car to the ceremony instead of the traditional horse-drawn carriage. Royal brides have arrived via Glass Coach since the early 1900s.

The Telegraph has noted this could also be for security reasons, but it suggests animal welfare could have played a part in the decision.

What are your thoughts?

Is the Royal Family making up for the fur hat the Queen wore during this past Christmas services?

Katy Perry Grazia

Katy Perry‘s on the cover of Italian magazine Grazia’s latest issue and inside she shares her plans for this holiday weekend’s dinner with newlywed husband Russell Brand.

“There will be me and Russ and a pink Christmas tree and a tofu-urky. We’ll open one present the night before because that’s the tradition in my family. And we’ll do something new. We’ll start our own new tradition because we are a family now.”

Could that new tradition include eating veg throughout the entire year and not just during the holidays?

The couple has reportedly also given up dairy at least until the end of the year and both have been eating a diet of plant-based proteins like tofu and raw vegetables to get in better shape.

What’s your veg tradition for the holidays?

Joel Madden and Nicole Richie

Yes, in what originally looked like a wild rumor made up by a tabloid, E! confirmed that an elephant was part of the wedding for Richie and Madden on Saturday. A source told E!, “Nicole has always been obsessed with elephants. Lionel wanted to surprise her.”

As expected, this isn’t sitting too well with animal activists. More on that and a video showing guests arriving below.

Pink and Carey Hart

Some parents name their children when they’re under the influence (of alcohol, epidural or whatever). Pink and her husband Carey Hart have decided to name their first child after the substance that causes tipsiness.

Pink told Access Hollywood, “My dad’s name is James, and my brother’s name is Jason. [Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey’s middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson – we like whiskey. That’s a no brainer.”

For those that worry about the well being of a child that’s named after alcohol, have no fear. Little Jameson is already on the cool list cause he’s named after vegan whiskey!

Most fashion, wedding and gossip columnists will have advice for Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s upcoming wedding in April. But the Telegraph’s Tamsin Blanchard has taken planning a step further from genre of flowers, dress design and cocktails.

Imploring the Prince and his fiancee to have a green wedding, Blanchard suggests a vegetarian lunch for the banquet, eco-friendly gowns and other dress by designers like Emma Watson and leather-free shoes from Stella McCartney.

These items are a start, but green weddings can go beyond food and fashion. The venue choice, for example, can cut down on car emissions, electricity and other energy used.

Katy Perry Russell Brand Give Up Dairy

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 18th, 2010 in Couples, Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand

Russell Brand and Katy Perry are already making important couple decisions together.

The newlyweds have embarked on a healthier diet, giving up dairy and eating a raw diet of vegetables and tofu as part of their mission to get fit by the end of the year.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if Brand, already a vegetarian, and Perry gave up dairy for good?

Besides the cruelty to animals as dairy cows are often confined to crowded areas in factory farms and forced to give unnaturally high amounts of milk through hormones and machinery, some studies have suggested dairy doesn’t do a bovine or a human body good. The website NotMilk.com has conveniently listed some potential consequences of dairy from A-Z, with sources cited.

Like an episode of Sesame Street, let’s learn what the letters in today’s lesson stand for.

A is for alleriges: “Most formula fed infants developed symptoms of ALLERGIC rejection to cow milk proteins before one month of age. About 50-70% experienced rashes or other skin symptoms, 50-60 percent gastrointestinal symptoms, and 20-30 percent respiratory symptoms. The recommended therapy is to avoid cow’s milk.”

Epidemiological and Immunological Aspects of Cow’s Milk Protein ALLERGY and Intolerance in Infancy.” Pediatric-Allergy-Immunology, August, 1994, 5(5 Suppl.)

I is for Iron Defienciency: “Cow’s milk can cause blood loss from the intestinal tract, which over time, reduces the body’s iron stores. Blood loss may be a reaction to cow’s milk proteins.”

Journal of Pediatrics, 1990, 116

Russell Brand Won’t Keep Tiger In Apartment With Him And Katy (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 11th, 2010 in Actors, Animal Issues, Couples, Videos.

Russell Brand

Russell Brand is addressing the rumor that he bought Katy Perry a tiger for their wedding, emphasizing not only is it against his ethics as a vegetarian, but it’s just plain dumb and dangerous!

“I’m a vegetarian, you don’t give people tigers, it’s stupid, it’s dangerous, and the tigers don’t like it,” Brand said.

Yes, having wild animals as pets leads to nothing but tragedy, as we’ve seen with Travis the Chimp and other stories, like the man in Harlem, New York, who kept an 8 foot long, 400-pound tiger in his apartment.

Police were tipped off when a neighbor complained of urine seeping through the floor into an adjacent apartment after kitty refused to use the little box on more than one occasion. The tiger was transferred to a sanctuary that won’t offer him a high-rise view of the city, but a more natural, safer place for him and humans.
