“I think we need more vegan junk food. Who has time when you’re out in the world to get something quick? Why can’t we have a dollar menu? So many people don’t respond to animal rights as a whole because they know they will have to change their lifestyle so drastically. Why not make it easier for them?”

“You can’t preach with veganism. You need to be funny and lively.” A lot of people treat veganism as a my-way-or-the-highway type thing, but it’s good to keep a sense of humor. You can do this while still moving toward a more compassionate world.”

—-Singer and songwriter Nellie McKay, in an interview with Vegetarian Journal. Earlier, we told you how she calls herself a Junkatarian and has an addiction to the french fries. Her idea of vegan fun is potato chips, beer, and spaghetti. Now she’s aiming for the Cheetos.

Clothing is expensive enough. When you throw in designer labels and aim to be cruelty-free the price jumps so much, it makes you want to take a sewing class and make your own.

Leona Lewis wants to change that and expressed her desire to do so to Sunday Express’ S.

“I love Stella McCartney – but her clothes are very expensive,” Lewis said of the eco-friendly fashion designer. “I think people need a more affordable option.”

“I’m trying to find the right companies to work with, sourcing different things and talking to creative teams.”

“I would love to promote an affordable line of non-leather bags and shoes.”

Talk has been going on for the past several months about Leona Lewis having a cruelty-free, vegan fashion line in the works. Now we know what she’s designing.

According to the UK Mirror, she’ll be giving Stella McCartney some competition by offering a line of vegan shoes, as well as bags.

Lewis is a strict vegetarian and refused to perform at a Harrods department store seasonal kick off because the store sells fur. She even went so far as to say something was wrong with those who continue to wear fur despite being educated about the cruelty to animals involved in harvesting it.

Her philosophy on using animals for clothing is pretty simple: “I’m a vegetarian. I don’t eat animals, so I won’t wear them.”

And now, many of her fans won’t either.

Remember Terri Nunn? Remember the 80’s group Berlin?

We have a diverse group of readers. Some of you might have rocked out with them. Some of your parents might have rocked out with them. Still, some of you may have been conceived to them.

Terri Nunn is the lead singer who sang the popular song, “Take My Breath Away,” (go ahead and have an 80s flashback and listen) on the Top Gun Soundtrack (which a very young pre-Oprah couch jumping Tom Cruise starred in).

She’s been a vegetarian since her late teens, turning to the lifestyle to cure what years of eating junk did that doctors couldn’t fix.

She has been named one of VH1’s Greatest Women in Rock and has been grouped with all the great female rockers like Joan Jett and Chrissie Hynde (who similarly don’t eat meat). Still taking everybody’s breath away after over two decades, she spoke with Las The Place not only about her CD coming out next year, but her feelings about how the government judges the quality of the meat that arrives at your supermarket.

“The main reason I don’t eat meat is because you find out in your studies that the factory farming of animals creates very sick animals. It’s so bad nowadays that the USDA no longer grades IF the animals are sick, it grades how sick they are. Isn’t THAT sick?…I’m thrilled about Proposition 2 passing here in California last week! That’s a healthy step forward, not just for the animals but for the people who eat them.”

“There are so many great soy products out there now, from hot dogs to meat substitutes. Even my kids like them!”

To learn about the fitness routine that keeps her looking like she did in the 80s, go to Las The Place to read the entire interview.

Emmylou Harris will be performing tomorrow night to benefit the Best Friends Animal Society, an organization that serves to help four legged folks in all sorts of ways, including placing animals that were once considered “unadoptable,” into loving homes.

The 15th Annual Lint Roller Party will combine good music with good food. While enjoying her concert, guests will also be enjoying a gourmet vegetarian dinner.

Emmylou has several dogs and is a true animal lover, running a shelter where she lives in Tennessee. As a vegetarian, she won’t eat them either.

Awhile back, we told you how she wasn’t too fond of someone describing her like bacon-and saying she (as well as bacon) made everything better. Instead, she’d rather you tell her she’s like cheese.

Other bonuses at the event include an open bar, live and silent auction, and the opportunity to meet the cast of DogTown, a new television series on the National Geographic Channel.

The saddest part of a divorce is how it will affect the children. Looks like Madonna wants to enforce some pretty strict rules about what the children will be doing when they visit ex-hubby Guy Ritchie. Some rules are not bad. But we just hope it doesn’t make it hard for the little ones to enjoy a weekend with dad.

The best rule is that the children must be fed a vegetarian, macrobiotic, organic diet. And absolutely no fast food.

Things get a little cloudy as you move further down the list, however. For example, toys must be “spiritually and ethically sound.” Let us know when you figure out a way to explain that.

Obviously he shouldn’t talk about the breakup (another rule set forth by the Material Girl), but any bedtime story other than one from Madge’s English Rose books for son David is another violation.

When out in public, their hands should be disinfected with disinfectant spray, although it doesn’t say how often.

Clothing must be from natural materials only.

This is eerily reminiscent of how vegan Heather Mills gave an eight page list of rules and demands for her daughter Bea’s food regime when she went on a vacation with Mills’ ex-husband Paul McCartney.

What do you think? Is Madonna just trying to do what she feels is best for the kids or has she turned into a control freak?

Vegemite eating Missy Higgins in her video “Where I Stood,” from the album On a Clear Night. After watching this…wow. No wonder Johnny didn’t mind having vegan dinner with his ex-girlfriend.
