Vegetarian Star

Charlotte Ross was in attendance at PETA’s 30th anniversary gala, but the NYPD Blue actress supports several other animal rights and other organizations, including the Humane Society of the United States and the Jane Goodall Institute.

Ross shared with Celebrity Baby Scoop that her dreams are to have better conditions for farm animals and have more shelter animals adopted instead of euthanized.

“Whether you’re a vegetarian or not, is not the issue. My fight is for all animals to have a very basic and fundamental right which is to live a healthy and torture-free life. To let animals ‘live’ in crammed cages where they can’t move, turn around or feel the sun is inhumane. And, many facilities don’t put their very sick or dying animals out of their misery but, instead let them die a slow, painful death and then have the nerve to throw it on our dinner plates. These farming practices should be outlawed.”

Lady Gaga has too much power in the gossip world, which is exactly what she wanted to gain.

Meat dresses. Prosciutto bikinis. Sustainable fish dresses. The best however, is a soy meat dress.

During an interview with KMLE radio station in Phoenix, vegetarian Carrie Underwood was asked if she would ever wear a meat dress.

KT Tunstall is the latest celebrity to comment on the Lady-Gaga-Meat-Dress-Saga. Yes, amazingly enough, that is still considered news.

Tunstall says that while she understands why vegetarians and vegans are so upset, Gaga’s dress worn for the cover of Vogue Japan isn’t much different from people wearing leather.

“As soon as I saw it, I thought, what is the difference between that and leather? Animals die needlessly for leather all the time.”

“I haven’t heard a legitimate reason why anyone would be offended by her wearing meat, except for vegans angry about animals being killed, which is fair enough.”

Tunstall, a pescatarian, recently took her own hit of controversy with vegetarians when she ate black pudding, a dish made of congealed pig’s blood.

A little steak on the hips. Pig’s blood to the lips. Can we all agree to aim to stop using animals for human purposes period and call it a day?

Lady Gaga and her smelly meat dress may have launched a repulsive trend in fashion.

The New York Daily News reports that designer Jeremy Scott showcased a model in a bustier and matching skirt that appeared to be made from prosciutto at Scott’s Spring 2011 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

The dried ham look isn’t flattering on anybody, but with so many models aiming to be stick thin, why would any of them agree to look like a pig?

Talbots

When a company reverses or ignores a previously established policy, it loses creditability. Talbots, a clothing store specializing in women’s fashions, has been on the Humane Society’s fur-free retailers list for a decade. However, the company recently listed an $89 rabbit fur collar for sale as part of its fall collection.

Word of this got out and the company received a deluge of phone calls, emails and posts on Facebook from unhappy consumers regarding the decision to reinstate fur. As a result, the company has dropped the fur offering and declared itself fur-free again. For now.

“Thank you for your concern.,” a statement from the company read. “Talbots always seeks to operate under the highest ethical standards. We have heard our customers’ concerns regarding the items offered that contained real fur. These items have been pulled from stores and are no longer available for sale. Talbots remains committed to its policy against the use of real fur in our collection.”
