“For me, it’s more of a personal thing. I don’t judge any musician or nonmusician for living the sort of lifestyle that they do. I think it all comes down to conscience and making the decision for you and your life. Everyone’s at a different point of realization.”

“The first few tours I did, I was talking about [green issues] on stage. Then I just figured I probably shouldn’t talk about it every tour, so now I guess I’m just talking about it in interviews. It’s something I’ve been doing for quite a while now, so it doesn’t feel like news.”

—Singer, musician and songwriter Missy Higgins, in an interview with Mother Nature Network, on whether or not she considers herself an “elite” greenie.

Missy could count herself as being in the upper echelon of green musicians. Her biggest green move is being vegan. She also donated profits from her song, “Steer,” to the Sierra Club’s Two Percent Project, makes her tours carbon neutral, and performed at Live Earth Australia last year.

Leona Lewis has once again, topped the charts in the PETA Europe division of Sexiest Vegetarian, along with Scott Maslen from the Eastenders in the male category.

Leona was chosen as last year’s winner, and definitely hasn’t been resting on her laurels.

The singer is working on her own vegan shoe and handbag line, as well as a cruelty-free perfume.

“I am vegetarian so I don’t have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede or any animal products. … I’m on a mission,” she said.

Actor Scott Maslen loves making a veggie spaghetti without the meatballs.

“My favourite dish is vegetarian spaghetti Bolognese,” he said. “I make it with meat substitute, it’s delicious”.

Sadly in life, there are winners and losers. Although everybody loves Leona and Scott, somebody’s favorite surely was defeated.

Which veg celeb were you rooting for?

Since Leona took it two years in a row, should there be politician term limits to let somebody else have the title in the future?

The former Posh Spice is known for her fashion statements, including her handbags, but one bag in particular is giving the folks of PETA the creeps.

Victoria Beckham has been spotted carrying a Hermes bag around town. Hermes is a company that uses crocodile skin in its products, and has recently started to breed its own crocs for the fashion line.

“We will send Victoria Beckham, a compassionate person who won’t wear fur, our undercover footage that shows how alligators and crocodiles are beaten to death and how snakes are nailed to trees and skinned alive for these products,” the animal rights group stated.

“The mere thought of purposefully breeding and killing crocodiles for an outdated, overpriced handbag should make any fashionista’s skin crawl.”

Vegetarian Victoria has made statements in the past, denouncing fur and claims the only fur products she wears are fake.

English recording artist and songwriter VV Brown recently became vegetarian after seeing a cow killed and stripped of its guts while in Africa.

But she’s thinking of taking it a step further and leaning towards veganism, because, well, who wants to deal with a chick during that “time of the month?”

“I’m thinking of giving up eggs because if you think about it, they are just chicken’s periods,” she told the UK Guardian.

Come again?

Oh, sure, VV must be talking about the fact that eggs are unfertilized products of a chicken’s reproductive cycle, which some have likened to the same process that occurs when an egg is unfertilized in human females.

Yeah, if you think about it…VV has the right idea.

She’s got a new album coming out, Traveling Like The Light. Check out her Myspace for some music samples.

The Telegraph was interviewing Chrissie Hynde when she revealed she was wearing a pair of Stella McCartney faux leather boots.

The price of a Stella shoe can reach up to seven, eight, and nine hundred dollars. Easy for a rock star like Chrissie, but maybe not so much for the rest of us who haven’t released new albums like Break Up The Concrete.

Don’t despair, as Chrissie says, “you can get the cheap junk at the market.”

Sure, cheap synthetic shoes are abundant. But then you have to worry about the chemicals involved in producing them and whether or not someone like your kid sister was gluing them together. And you thought choosing a pair of shoes was all about ensuring they didn’t give you blisters!

Elizabeth Olsen’s got some nice vegan boots for around $250, like the Thriller.

Price still not right? Chuck the boots altogether and pick up some Zoe and Zac shoes from Payless for under $30! They’re made with sustainable and recycled material and some profits go towards planting new trees.  What could be more beautiful, except of course, your feet in them?

She hasn’t held her title for even a month and already controversy is happening.

No, Kellie Pickler hasn’t been found in revealing photographs of her chomping on hamburgers after winning PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Contest. But there are some that wish she would.

Amanda Nolz at Beef magazine recently blogged on the Beef Daily blog (Seriously, we’re not kidding. We know you’ll want to bookmark that in your browser as well as subscribe to the Beef Daily e-newsletter.) that Kellie was an example of a country music star who had turned away from country values.

Just like evil Carrie Underwood who donated funds from her American Idol elimination song to the Humane Society, Kellie is ruining everything country. Well, shame on her!

“Well, it’s no secret that I’m not a fan of Carrie Underwood, a vocal vegetarian who actively teams up with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), and you’ve heard me rant and rave about the “Oprah Effect,” where anything Oprah says, the world listens to as fact. It’s unfortunate that others like Kellie Pickler are now following suit. Time and time again, these celebrities stand up and against America’s food producers, heightening an already troubling outlook consumers have on farmers and ranchers.”

“Even though we don’t have fame, fortune and our faces on the cover of magazines, farmers and ranchers have the capability to feed 144 people each year. We have the determination and drive to produce a safe and wholesome product to feed the world. Agriculturalists are truly people to look up to, and today, I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and tell your story. It’s time we let our voices be heard. Who’s with me?”

Uh, not us. But anyway…

It must be tough for someone from some parts of the U.S. South, farming background or living in the heart of “cattle country” to go against the grain and be veg. Kudos to them.

Are you a cattle rancher kid who went wild and became veg, much to the disappointment of your friends and family?

The votes are in and Kellie Pickler and Milo Ventimiglia were chosen as the Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities in a poll conducted by PETA.

PETA, being the equal rights organization it is, of course has a spot for the top male and female, but if you had to choose just one, who would you rather do…
