PETA may be getting some after all.

As previously reported, the animal rights group requested that the domain name “sex.com” be donated to them in order to use the site to promote vegetarianism.

Lucky for them, Mike Mann, a longtime vegetarian and social entrepreneur, is a part owner of the domain and wants the group to have it under one condition: the IRS must accept the $50 million dollar donation as a tax deduction.

The only other issue is that Mann is not the sole owner of the domain.

Will PETA be getting domain laid soon?

Tune in later to find out.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Anthony Parker took 21 fourth graders on a tour of a Whole Foods Market recently, teaching them the importance of good nutrition.

After the tour, Parker made vegetarian wraps with the students consisting of hummus, arugula, red peppers and carrots.

The students were randomly selected to spend the day with Parker as part of the Cavaliers’ Fit as a Pro program with Medical Mutual.

The program is designed to encourage physical fitness and good eating habits in northeast Ohio elementary students.

“As athletes, we have to eat healthy,” Parker said. “It’s important that it becomes a lifestyle, not a diet.”

“Whole Foods Market is pleased to join forces with the Cleveland Cavaliers to accomplish our 7th Core Value: Promoting the health of our stakeholders through healthy eating education,” said Whole Foods Marketing Specialist /Community Liaison Jared Earley. “Through a store tour, cooking demonstration and other interactive activities, students learned the fundamentals of nutritious and delicious healthy eating and discovered that ‘Health Starts Here’ at Whole Foods Market Cedar Center.”

A man was arrested after he allegedly used a knife to slash pieces of meat at a grocery store, throwing the packages of beef on the floor before pouring dog food on them.

A call made to 911 in an Edinburg, Indiana store revealed someone saying, “We have a gentleman here cutting into the meat and throwing it onto the floor.”

Anthony Coffman, 28, said he was a vegetarian and it bothered him when people ate meat and he wanted to protect little girls from getting chubby from eating it.

“He told people at the store that God had sent him there to do that. And he was trying to save young girls from the beef,” police chief David Lutz told the media.

A store employee tried to stop Coffman, but gave up after he was threatened.

International CTIA Wireless Show Held In Las Vegas

Twitter Co-Founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams announced a side project for Twitter last year–making wine.

The company is making both California Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir under the wine label “Fledgling” and donating the proceeds to Room To Read, a non-profit organization supporting literacy programs around the world.

Having a drink with a fellow vegetarian like Biz would be the greatest pleasure, especially considering he’s already done his research on how to stay vegan and tipsy.

Biz told Winespectator:

“You can find wines that are not filtered through isinglass [or egg whites]. One of our board members recently had us over for dinner and selected wines that were all vegan. That was thoughtful … We’ve been to Spain a bunch of times. We have a lot of fun getting tapas in a veggie format. This past New Year’s Eve, we decided to stay home because I’d done so much traveling. We made a bunch of tapas and drank cava.”

Don’t forget to check your favorite wine against the vegan friendly wine list and follow the progress of Twitter’s Fledgling wine label @fledgling.

McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Photocall

Stella McCartney has designed two exclusive T-shirts advertising her Meat Free Monday campaign.

According to Contact Music, the shirts will be available at London Gap stores and will help raise money for the campaign founded by Stella, sister Mary and dad Sir Paul McCartney to lessen the impact of meat production and eating on the environment.

The T-shirts are made from organic cotton and come in two varieties–one featuring a superhero for a boy and Stella’s signature Intarsia leopard for a girl.

Stella, a vegetarian fashion designer, said that Meat Free Monday is “about us all taking control of the environment we live in for our kids and the generations to come. Whether you eat meat or not, you can be part of this decision to limit the meat industry destroying our planet’s resources.”

Allison Moorer And Baby To Be Crave Ricotta Gnocchi

Special Screening Of Leaves Of Grass - Arrivals

Allison Moorer has had a lot of other things on her mind lately than deciding what to cook for dinner (like what to name the new baby, what diapers to use, deciding who between she and husband Steve Earle will wake up in the middle of the night to change one).

To make things easier on herself, Moorer’s been eating dinner out and giving into whatever she and little one to come is craving for the evening.

The alternative country singer told Black Book Mag, “We’ve been doing this like go out to dinner a lot lately, so we won’t think about, ‘When is the baby going to come?’ So we went to Union Square Café last night, which is fantastic. I’m vegetarian. I had this incredible ricotta gnocchi, which I think is a regular item on the menu.We just went to Babbo Monday night, which is great. Our neighborhood is ridiculously good for food.”

Sounds like Moorer is one of those vegetarian women who didn’t head for the steakhouse when another lifeform started growing inside of her.

Amazing!

Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic - Team Practices

Red Sox fans will have additional options while enjoying future games at Fenway Park.

ARAMARK has helped one of America’s famous ballparks expand its vegetarian menu to include a new veggie burger, veggie hot dog, and a spinach and mozzarella Stromboli.

These changes come to an already vegetarian friendly menu offering veggie pizzas, burritos, hummus and fruit cups.

An expanding menu is just one of the numerous changes made to the facility, some of which include improved restroom facilities and easier access between different areas of the parks with more stairways.

Larry Lucchino, president and chief executive officer of the Red Sox called this year’s improvements “less sexy than in the past but very appealing to some of our fans.”

Considering the saturated fat and cholesterol in so many meat foods sold in ballpark vending areas that can lead to obesity, fatigue and erectile dysfunction, making healthier vegetarian foods available to Red Sox fans and even fans of their opponents sounds like a very sexy thing to do.
