Vegetarian Star

Country music singer Carrie Underwood said she sometimes gets booed for saying she’s a vegetarian in some parts of the country. Now she’s getting booed for being an animal lover.

As we reported earlier, Carrie’s voice can be heard singing Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home” during each American Idol contestant’s elimination this year. Some of the profits from her version of “Home Sweet Home” available on iTunes will go towards the Humane Society of the United States.

And that just makes the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance want to poop (pun intended).

“Carrie Underwood has decided to use her talents to benefit an organization dedicated to destroying the rights of thousands of her fans,” said Rick Story, vice president of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, in a news release. “HSUS does not operate or oversee animal shelters; it is a radical organization that seeks to end hunting and other responsible uses of animals in America.”

The Alliance is urging hunters to contact Fox and demand they not play Carrie’s song.

Wow. Talk about “radical.”

Trying to censor an artist who wants to benefit an organization that works to protect so many animals by speaking out against puppy mills to protecting farm animals sounds more radical. Trying to censor an artist just because she donates to a charity that doesn’t work in favor of your interest is radical.

It’s highly unlikely Fox will drop their Idol alumnus. And it’s highly likely the added publicity will improves sales of “Home Sweet Home.”

Stella McCartney recently showcased her fall/winter ready-wear collection, which of course, consisted of animal-friendly  materials.

Stella’s commitment to cruelty-free wear has earned her the respect of another fellow vegetarian, singer Pink.

“She proves that you can be wildly successful and creative and still have moral values,” Pink told reporters at a post show event organized by PETA.

Such an example of the clothing that allowed Stella to retain her values were stiletto boot-cum-leggings which resembled real leather.

Guest attending the fashion show included Stella’s father, Paul McCartney, Salma Hayek, and rapper Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose.

Since Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005, she never had the “farewell” song played for her, but this season, she’ll be singing it for everyone else sent home weekly.

Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home” has been chosen for the song that’s played while the losing contestant’s Idol experiences are portrayed on the screen.

In the past, tunes sung by former Idols Ruben Studdard and Chris Daughtry have been used as farewell songs.

Carrie’s version of the song will be available on iTunes March 16th, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Humane Society of the United States.

The vegetarian singer said in a press release:

“I’ve always loved this song, and besides being very fitting for Idol, to me, the title is also very fitting with animal rescue and finding animals their own homes.”

The singer has professed her love for animals in the past, even saying that she’d choose animals over men, because she’s found lots of good animals, but not a good man.

It’s almost blasphemous to say it’s a “cute” ad, because obviously there’s nothing cute about killing an animal for its pelt.

But in this new cute PETA ad starring Ricky Gervais and singer Pink, at least the animals lived through it to fight back.

Gervais plays the rabbit who snatches his fur coat back from a man, and Pink the alligator who claims a purse a woman is holding made from her skin. No word if she gave the cash back inside it or not.

Pink is already a vegetarian and Ricky has been toying with the idea of it, feeling uncomfortable eating meat that still looks like an animal. What do you think? Is this video a step towards Ricky living the vida vega?

We’re starting to think Chrissie does this meat ban on all her concerts.

We recently told you that Chrissie asked Stubb’s barbecue joint in Texas not to serve meat in the outdoor concert area, and instead there was “wheat roast” and veggie tamales available.

Now, we learn that a similar ban was placed on a recent Phoenix, Arizona concert. From the Phoenix Examiner:

“But she’s not exactly dipping one foot in the grave yet and is still the coolest chick ever, from her knee high black boots to her black jacket with tails to her signature long bangs.”

“Maybe it’s because she eats no meat? At the Pretenders’ request, none was sold at the concession stands during the show. But I can forgive that because it was Chrissie’s wish, even though hot dogs are one of my favorite foods. Fortunately I had eaten dinner before going to the theater, and ironically it was just a salad anyway. But I like to be the one who decides when I will or will not eat meat. I guess my only exception to that rule is if the Pretenders tell me otherwise. Or the Pope.”

“Attendants at the concert also handed out copies of “Vegetarian Starter Kit” magazine because “Chrissie wants everyone to have one”. This meant that while waiting for the show to start, everyone was reading about the nobility of chickens. But hey, if becoming a vegetarian means I can look as fit at fifty-seven as the great Ms. Hynde does, I may have to rethink the whole thing.”

A fan of Chrissie’s rethinking the vegetarian thing? Sounds like Chrissie’s marketing plan is working!

Beth Ditto wrote an advice column for The Guardian, What Would Beth Ditto Do, when she wasn’t busy singing and rocking on stage with her band The Gossip.

Last year, she gave advice to someone who had just gone vegetarian and was running into obstacles:

“Congratulations on your decision. It is really admirable and, in the difficult world we live in, anything that takes us towards a higher consciousness helps. When my younger sister became a vegetarian, she ran into obstacles too, so you’re definitely not alone. If you practise some willpower and use the tips below to assert yourself clearly, I have no doubt that you will succeed.”

Looks like Beth may be taking her own advice, as she went veg a couple of weeks ago, according to WWD.com.

“For the Ricci show, the singer wore one of her favorite frocks by Charles Anastase. “It’s a sketch of a snake being eaten by a weasel,” said Ditto – who turned vegetarian two weeks ago – of its illustration.”

Is the sisterly love for animals taking over her or is it just in the genes?

Congrats to Beth on her decision and we can’t wait to hear how it goes!
