Vegetarian Star

On the 4th day of Christmas, my Ellen gave to me, a Matt & Nat bag that was cruelty-free.

Wow! We should be recording Bing Cosby classics.

Vegan talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, celebrated the holidays this year by featuring a segment on her show called “12 Days of Giveaways,” where she gave the audience several presents such as a Blu-Ray disc player, espresso machines, and a vegan bag from Matt & Nat, the company with bags named after vegetarian actress Jorja Fox.

Watch the video below where she jokes that a video tape has been released of her in a “private moment,” before she makes the big announcement of what’s being given away that day.

Socialite Kathy Hilton, mother of Paris Hilton, spoke with E! Online about what her two grown little girls are getting for Christmas. Yes, it looks like E!Online has now ruined the surprise for Paris and Nicky!

Just one of their surprises, that it, as it’s a sure thing Momma Hilton got them more than one item. Especially considering she started shopping in October.

“Nicky wanted me to get her this photograph,” Kathy said. “It is of a beautiful swan because she loves swans, so I got her that.”

“And Paris, I am going to get her a very cool faux fur coat. Like a bomber jacket.”

Kudos to that! A socialite worth millions, billions, and gazillions, dropped the word that she’s buying fake fur for the holidays. In a time where celebrities are still pretending it’s caveman days and fur is the only way to keep warm, Momma Hilton proudly professed what her pocketbook is financing this year, one of the best cruelty-free presents you can buy.

Awhile back, Kathy’s husband Rick, was gushing over Paris’s then boyfriend Benji Madden and his clean lifestyle, saying he was a “healthy vegan.”

Paris and Benji broke up, but still hang out together. Is a romantic reunion possible? If so, we’re jumping for joy. With Benji’s healthy vegan lifestyle and momma Hilton choosing faux fur, some of that animal compassion just might rub off on Paris.

Peta

And you thought it didn’t get any better than a Wii Fit.

The people at PETA have invented entertainment for all the gamers in mind. The online game, PETA’s Holiday Snowball Game, allows you to throw snowballs at fur wearing celebrities, such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who are presented as their satirical counterparts-The Trollsen Twins (Hairy-Kate and Trashley Olsen), Madonna, and fashion designer Donna Karan.

You get 10 points for ambushing Madonna, 25 for Donna Karan, and a whopping 50 for taking out Mary-Kate and Ashley with any part of Frosty you’d like. And if you advance to the next levels, take shots at Colonel Sanders and Sarah Palin.

Warning: There are innocent non fur wearing civilians you shouldn’t hit, and if you do, you lose 50 points. They don’t have names, but you could call them “The Pleather People.”

Even better than the family football bowl during the holidays. Let the games begin.

Since Khloe Kardashian showed off her voluptuous figure in defense of the animals, she’s taken some heat from some in the media posting old pictures of her in her fur wearing days. Quick to respond, she wrote on her blog:

“As some of you might have seen today, there are several people who have taken to the web calling me a hypocrite and posting photos of me wearing fur.”

“The reason PETA approached me initially is because in my past I did wear fur and they wanted to educate me on the brutal ways in which animals are skinned for their pelts. After watching their video once, I was so horrified that I immediately swore off fur…”

“I have changed my ways and I hope that many other people will as well.”

Score one for PETA, zero for Kid Rock, who thinks all PETA does is throw paint on “little Hollywood actresses that can’t defend themselves.” We’re pretty sure Khloe got a nice letter from PETA, rather than paint on her coat, though.

When you think of Jorja Fox, who played Sara Sidle on the CBS series “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”, you think of her character as getting down and dirty: digging through dumpsters for evidence, feeling her way through a body cavity for a bullet, chalking down a crime scene.

She didn’t wear heels and a skirt for those scenes and most definitely wasn’t carrying a purse. But Matt & Nat, designer of vegan purses, know Jorja’s fans still like to get feminine without the leather, so they designed a series of purses named after her and come out with different designs every season.
Matt & Nat 

Jorja is a vegetarian who has advocated the diet and lifestyle in order to help the environment.

The latest Jorja style, a vegan leather handbag, shown here, contains 100% recycled faux suede lining with interior pockets to put your cell phone or PDA in. Which you’ll need, of course, if out on the town and your boss calls you in to examine a skull found behind the restaurant you ate at last week.

If you want to keep up with the Kardashians, you should be going vegetarian. Khloe Kardashian has announced she’s trying to be a vegetarian, and has already teamed up with PETA, in the ad shown here, to express her views against wearing fur. She writes on her blog:

“I am not a full vegetarian but I have not eaten red meat or pork in over 10 years. I still eat chicken and turkey but I am trying to stop completely. I am also extremely careful now not to purchase products that are tested on animals.”

“I have started with fur but I hope that over time I will become a full vegetarian. We shall see!”

Khloe stars in the reality TV show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which portrays the lives of the children of the late Robert Kardashian, an attorney best known for his defense work with O.J. Simpson in the 90s.

Very, very sad week for eco-friendly shoes lovers.

Proof that celebrities are not immune to the financial problems the world is enduring, Natalie Portman’s vegan shoes are no longer being produced. The parent company, Te Casan, closed shop, due to failing sales.

It’s not known whether Nat will take her shoes elsewhere for production for the line that was launched in February of this year. The shoes went for about $200 a pair-not exactly a bargain, which may have turned off a lot of people in this economy.

The forecast for affordable, quality, cruelty-free clothing is somewhat grim. Vegan shoes are hard enough to find. Vegan shoes that allow you to still be able to keep the lights on the same month you purchase them may be even more difficult to locate.

Could this mean that vegans and vegetarians who don’t wear leather will end up settling for cheap, imported, pleather shoes which tear and fade after a week and bang your feet up so badly, you need band-aids on your toes just to wear them?

Leona Lewis recognizes this problem and says she wants to make her future vegan shoes and bags easier on the bank account.

Leona, your help can’t come soon enough.

No thumbs up on this one, RZA.

Most members of the Wu-Tang Clan hip hop group are either vegetarian (RZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Masta Killa) or have been outspoken on animal rights issues in the past (GZA). So when the group collaborated with Fila shoes to produce a shoe with their name branded on it, the Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot, you’d think it’d be cruelty free as well. No such luck.

Along with it’s “molded rubberized vamp, d-ring lacing system and padded ankle collars,” the Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot contains an “oiled suede upper.” Boo to the Wu!

So while we were hoping RZA and his boys would follow the steps of other veggie metrosexual men and associate himself with a vegan shoe, like Frank Iero and his MacBeth’s, he’s let us down this time. This is even grosser than his veggie burger with fried egg on waffles.

Thanks Vegblog
