Jennifer Aniston was snapped carrying this FEED bag while on the set of The Bounty.

The FEED bags were designed by the lovely Lauren Bush (niece of George W.), a lifelong vegetarian, environmentalist, and humanitarian.

Which is why we’re confused as to why the straps of the bag are made with leather. Maybe Lauren wasn’t aware of the materials when the bag was constructed. Or could she not be as strict with fashion and vegetarianism?

Lauren designed the bags to help support the UN World Food Program.

Pictured here, the FEED 2, will feed 2 school children in Kenya for 1 year when purchased.

Alex Cox‘s (1984 Repo Man) new movie, Repo Chick, premiered at the Venice Film Festival last week.

Repo Chick features vegan, environmental terrorists with two goals in mind:

1. Ban golfing
2. Make the entire government go vegan

If this description doesn’t already have you in stitches, here’s an excerpt from Variety.com:

“After being disinherited, a spoiled heiress goes into the repossession biz and stumbles onto anti-golf vegan terrorists in helmer Alex Cox’s goofy comedy “Repo Chick.”…The plot kicks off with bratty, Paris Hiltonian heiress Pixxi de la Chasse (Jaclyn Jonet) being disinherited by her family (played by Xander Berkeley, Frances Bay and Karen Black) after one too many joyrides without a driver’s license and public dalliances with boy-band backup dancers. Her only way back into the family’s good graces is to prove she can knuckle down and fend for herself with a real job.”

The real job of the Paris Hiltonian, of course, is to take down the vegan, anti-golf terrorists who’ve stolen an antique train and are using it to transport missiles.

We hate the fact that the bad guys in pursuit just happen to be vegans.

Would’ve been better if Pixxie herself was a vegan crime fighter taking down the terrorists.

Another negative stereoptype of the vegan environmentalist…

Hopefully, we’ll at least get some humor out of it.

We recently learned that True Blood star Michelle Forbes has been a vegetarian for a long time-30 years!

So when it came time to film the season 2 finale of True Blood, Michelle was a little queasy about the set surroundings when it came to the “Meat Tree.”

Some bits from trueblood-online.com:

I assume you weren’t cutting into an actual human heart. Please tell me you weren’t.
Michelle: No, no. I’m not sure what it was, but we all got creeped out when I cut into it because it made the worst squishing sound in the world. The irony is that I’m a 30-year vegetarian. I’ve been an animal activist my entire life, so the role of Maryann has been a bit challenging – especially with the lovely meat tree – Di-meat-tree, as he became known.

That tree is repulsive. Tell us about it.
Michelle: It was filled with real meat and reeked as the weeks wore on. There are bobcats and coyotes roaming around that ranch where we shoot, so they had someone sit by the tree with a gun at night to protect it.

Real meat? Men willing and able to shoot and kill more animals to protect the already dead ones?

True-ly uncool, especially since fake meat props would be easy to create, as such was done with the vampire horror flick Moby starred in, Suck.

Here’s the promo for True Blood Season 2 finale, which airs September 13 on HBO at 9PM.

Styna Whatman

The Twilight vegetarian vampires of Forks, Washington are like the vegetarian humans who still eat chicken and fish.

NOT vegetarian.

They don’t eat humans, but instead feast on the blood of animals.

A lady named Styna Whatman very closely resembles Ashley Greene and her character from Twilight, Alice Cullen.

So much she cut her hair, moved to Forks, Washington and worked as “Alice Cullen” in a flower and gift shop named Leppell’s.

What’s cool?

Styna is a real vegetarian vampire.

In an email sent to the Veg Star, Styna writes, “I’m vegan and strongly support animal rights.”

“Since Twilight reaches such a large audience, it’d be a great way to send the cruelty-free message to them!”

Styna is featured in an MTV documentary about the town of Forks, Washington, Twilight In Forks: The Saga of the Real Town by York Baur and Jason Brown, due for release on October 15.

Watch the clip below for a preview and to hear Styna describe reactions in Forks when the real vegetarian vampire paid the city a visit!

The Last Station is an Indie film portraying the life of famed author Leo Tolstoy based on a 1990 biographical novel by Jay Parini.

The War and Peace author’ s life is portrayed by Christopher Plummer, Helen Mirren as Sofya Tolstoy, Leo’s wife, Paul Giamatti as Tolstoy’s trusted follower Vladimir Chertkov, James McAvoy as Valentin Bulgakov, Tolstoy’s assistant, Anne-Marie Duff as Leo and Sofya’s daughter Sasha, and Kerry Condon as Masha.

Tolstoy’s assistant, Valentin Bulgakov,  is a vegetarian.

A vegetarian man of the 1800s?

We’re thinking we already like this progressive character who had no Skinny Bastard to motivate him.

The film is expected to be released in Germany in January of next year.

Julia Child was not exactly known for her love of vegetarian food or vegetarians.

So it’s a funny and refreshing coincidence to learn Child’s old home is now occupied by a vegetarian and animal rights activist.

Lisa Landsverk is the owner of Child’s house on Irving Street in Cambridge where Child lived and cooked for 43 years.

Landsverk said the situation is a “bit ironic.”

Inside the home, there is a painting of a cow with a caption that reads, “Nobody says when I grow up I want to be a hamburger.”

Fans and media stop by to take pictures of the home and one person even left a stick of butter on the fence post.

Yeah…we were thinking the same thing-CREEPY!

As part of the hoopla surrounding the movie, Julia & Julia, Landsverk allowed a reporter into her home and cooked one of Julia’s recipes-a completely vegan one.

“Landsverk chose ratatouille for an entrée – she liked Child’s assertion that the eggplant casserole “perfumes the kitchen with the essence of Provence’’ – and, for dessert, pêches cardinal, a compote of fresh peaches with raspberry purée.”

Forty-three years of meaty cooking in the kitchen?

The ironic situation of Landsverk living in Child’s home now is good karma that’s been long overdue.

Talk about horror!

The new flick Sorority Row, starring Rumer Willis, is about a group of sorority sisters who accidentally kill a girl and try to keep it a secret.

Good luck with that one.

One of the sets on Sorority Row is filmed in an actual slaughterhouse.

Rumer was interviewed by The Today Show and mentions the “drains” and “hooks” she saw and how they added to the horror experience.

Not nearly as horrifying for animals, I’m sure, as none of them would pay for a show in a real slaughterhouse.

Watch Rumer describe the set.
