Vegetarian Star

Russell Simmons has released a book, Super Rich, an inspirational guide about finding wealth in both the spiritual and financial markets.

The vegan business mogul recently Tweeted to inspire his Twitter followers, asking them, “What would you do if you were Super Rich?”

One follower responded with, “I’m well on my way to being #superrich because I’m saving so many precious and innocent animals by not eating meat!!! :)”

The vegetarian financial plan not only saves animals, but also the environment. One study concluded that $20 million of the costs of fighting climate change could be saved in terms of reducing greenhouse gases and making use of land used for animal agriculture. It was estimated these changes would also lessen the need for energy saving technologies, such as clean coal.

And in terms of human health costs, the savings estimates are in the billions.

Most people would agree that Roseanne Barr is pretty nutty.

She’s offering more proof of this by running her own nut farm. While promoting her latest book, Roseannarchy: Dispatches From the Nut Farm, Barr said nuts beat meat for both environmental and health reasons.

“They’re the perfect protein,” she said. “They don’t have any carbohydrates and the only fat they’ve got, which is a lot, but it’s the good kind. So it’s better than beef. No greenhouse gases. Nice nuts.”

Barr’s favorite nut is the macademia one.

Ewan McGregor

Ewan McGregor is rumored to play Paul Watson in an upcoming film on the anti-whaling activist’s life, “Ocean Warrior: The Paul Watson Story.”

McGregor will portray Watson’s life during his earlier days of activism with Greenpeace and starting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

Watson seems pleased with the film’s producer’s choice for him, as he wrote about it on a site about enviornmentalism.

“I think he will do a good job, although I would love to see long time Sea Shepherd supporter Christian Bale take the part. As for a leading lady my favourite actress has always been Sophie Marceau, but the choice is not mine unfortunately.”

Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank joins Jeremy Piven in the group of fishing eating vegetarian celebrities who came down with a case of mercury poisoning.

Swank said for her role in “Million Dollar Baby,” she increased her consumption of seafood for more protein to put on weight and paid severely.

“I put on 19 pounds of muscle: I was 29, I was a vegetarian and suddenly I was eating so much fish that I got elevated mercury problems,” Swank was quoted as saying.

Alexa Chung is caught in yet another moral dichotomy. She likes collecting dead things even though she considers herself vegetarian. And she loves her husband and her lover because they both are incredibly stylish.

“Williamsburg is sort of like my lover, whereas London is more like my husband. I love my husband, and I’ll always be with him, but Williamsburg is so exciting.”

Thank goodness you can’t cheat when shopping, cause Chung will be perusing many vintage stores on her upcoming PBS series “Thrift America,” scheduled to air next summer.

Consignment shops, Goodwill, The Salvation Army, you name it, are all great places to lighten your footprint by taking advantage of what’s already created instead of contributing to the demand for more clothing–and more fibers, energy and unless they’re organic, more pesticides used on the crops, like cotton.

But are they a place for old furs? If you’ve given up that lifestyle, is it okay to let potentially less fortunate people or those that aren’t buying new fur coats display them? Or would you feel more comfortable donating the piece to an animal who the fur might look a little more natural on?

Mario Batali "Molto Gusto"

Celebrity chefs want to improve their cooking skills in 2011 like many microwave home cooking gurus out there.

In the January 2011 issue of Oprah’s magazine, “O,” several well-known cooks share what they’d like to accomplish. Raising their own chickens for more humane eggs, cooking more vegetarian meals, composting and cooking with quinoa are just a few goals of well-known foodies.

Mario Batali Will Cook More Vegetarian Meals:
“This year we want to master more vegetarian dishes, like simple bruschetta, that are fun to cook as a team.”

Martha Rose Shulman Will Replace White Rice With Quinoa:
“Quinoa is one healthy grain, full of both fiber and protein. I plan on using it in place of white rice in salads, soups, and stir-fries, like my quinoa salad with snap peas, tofu, and ginger vinaigrette.”

Lea Michele PETA

Lea Michele is starring in her 2nd PETA ad that draws attention to horse-drawn carriages in New York city.

A group called NYCLASS is calling for the complete ban of horse-drawn carriages and instead replacing them with green replica electric-hybrid cars. Not only would this solve the odor problem that the horse stables give off (which some stories include filling up a school cafeteria with the funk and giving children rashes and other health problems from airborne manure particles), the cars are also able to keep pace with other vehicles on the street, reducing the chance for accidents. And finally, the horses will get rest.

“Imagine for a moment that you’re forced to do hard physical labor all day, seven days a week–whether it’s sweltering hot or freezing cold outside,” Lea says. “At the end of the day, instead of relaxing on an easy chair or sleeping in a comfortable bed, you are locked in a tiny closet all night long. That’s what it’s like for horses who are forced to pull carriages in New York City.”

“Don’t get taken for a ride. Please boycott horse-drawn carriages.”

A video of Michele with footage from horse stables can be seen below.
