Yes, Leona Lewis, You Are Releasing A Vegan Fashion Line!

MTV Asia Awards 2008 - Arrivals

A lot of internet talk has been going on about Leona Lewis releasing her own line of cruelty free and vegan clothing. It’s finally official. The British “Bleeding Love,” star will do what Natalie Portman did and what Pamela Anderson wants to do now that she thinks Ugg Boots are Ugg-ly because they contain sheepskin.

On a recent video blog, she said, “I don’t wear leather or any animal products, so I want to bring out a line . . . I’m kind of the real beginning stages of it. I’m not sure when it will be out, but I hope very soon.”

Let’s hope they are as affordable as they are vegan so everyone can enjoy the pleasure of walking around in their own, and not another animal’s skin.

Farm Sanctuary Gala 2004

“I see us as stewards of all this, you know – the air, the land, the animals. There’s this complete dismissal of life on Earth. We’re destroying each other. We start on the animals, then we start on humans. It always starts on the low rung, and it just escalates. It doesn’t look like it’s getting much better.”

—Singer Chrissie Hynde, Pretenders’ rock legend and vegan restaurant co-owner, in an interview with The Baltimore Sun.

Glamour Women Of The Year Awards - Arrivals

Just a little reminder if you live near New York and you haven’t already made plans for the weekend. And if you have, just tell your date a “family affair,” came up. Better yet, take him or her with you to the benefit for the Woodstock (N.Y.) Farm Animal Sanctuary featuring cartoonist Dan Piraro and singer and songwriter Nellie McKay. Hopefully, Nellie will grab something nutritious to eat before her performance, versus her usual fare of french fries.

The most bizarre cartoonist will do his 45 minute comedy act followed by the feminist who sings about having no sense of humor when in comes to equal pay and ending child abuse.

Tickets are $20, doors open at 7pm, and it’s first come, first be entertained with a night of awesome vegan performers. Go to their website for any other information you might need to convince yourself that this is going to be one fun night.

Missy Higgins Likes Real Food Daily

Missy Higgins is an Australian born singer and songwriter who’s been inching her way into America’s CD players with her album The Sound of White and more recently, On A Clear Night.

She is a vegan, who agreed to cuddle with a pig because she loves animals so much. The last time we remember a singer holding a pig for the camera it was Tori Amos nursing one and…well, never mind.

Anyway, living in Los Angeles is great for Missy because she has the world of vegan food eateries in her backyard, include Real Food Daily. We checked out the menu: Better With Cheddar Nachos-melted cashew cheddar cheese with tofu sour cream, Tempeh Reuben, and Salisbury Seitan to name a few items.

It’s safe to say that this woman’s got both a great voice and great taste.

Emily Deschanel Likes Gardein From Whole Foods

2008 FOX UpFront - Arrivals

More food voyeurism. What do the vegetarian stars like to eat? We found what’s probably on the grocery lists of Chrissie Hynde, Constance Marie, Dennis Kucinich, Daryl Hannah, and Emily Deschanel every week.

In addition to vegetarian pot roast, our favorite Bones actress likes Gardein, a wheat protein product that she says you can only find at Whole Foods. “It’s very tasty,” she said.

Constance Marie is really into veggie hot dogs, Daryl Hannah tries to stay away from fake meats because of soy isolate, but Dennis Kucinich loves his Tofurky`kielbasa’ and the vegan Gardenburger.

Singer Chrissie Hynde is probably the least picky to please: “I will eat whatever I am offered, providing no animals have suffered.”

Moet & Chandon at Marc Jacobs Fall 2008

Ewww! If you’re a vegetarian or vegan and your spouse isn’t, would you still cook meat for them? Victoria Beckham doesn’t have a problem with that. But then again, it’s really the only thing this vegetarian knows how to cook. In an interview, she said:

“The only thing I can cook really is mince meat, which is ironic because I’m a vegetarian. But I like calzone and lasagna. I cooked every day in Spain so David and the boys lived off minced meat for four years. I cook a Sunday dinner every single Sunday I’ll have you know. My kids like Yorkshire pudding so I make that, I can make it from scratch and I make Dora the Explorer cakes for afters because the kids love them.”

Cookbook suggestions for our favorite Spice, anyone?

5th Annual Jammy Jam Awards

English born singer-songwriter Nellie McKay has won praise for her albums such as Get Away From Me, Pretty Little Head, and Obligatory Villagers. She also was a stand up comedian. A beautiful woman, who sings well, is funny, and  vegan? Some people have too much of an advantage.

“I’m a junkatarian meaning I’m vegan to the best of my ability but I like to order French fries all the time. To displace feminism, I don’t like to cook much so I order out a lot and often I order French fries. I find being a vegan very hard. It’s a huge pain in the ass, everyday I try but it’s hard. But if everyone cuts down just a little, like cut one meat product out of your life or cut back a day of meat a week, that will make a change. I finally decided to become a vegan while I was eating a Sunday at Denny’s, I thought it’s time, I know whats going on, I need to make a change, it needs to happen. The animals, if they could, they’d thank you.”
