PETA Fires Bomb Back At Kid Rock

Kid Rock at MTV's TRL Total Finale Live

Kid Rock recently expressed his interest in “going to war” with PETA, because he loves fur and is upset that supporters of the animal rights group protest in the manner in which they do.

“I’m just willing the animal rights protesters to chuck some red paint on me,” he told Britain’s Mail.

Never start a fight you can’t finish, as now PETA has fired back some harsh words for the Kid, hinting that his hostility is directed towards the group because his ex-wife, Pamela Anderson is a supporter and vegetarian.

“Hell hath no fury like a man scorned. Though his relationship with PETA pal Pam Anderson ended years ago, Kid Rock is clearly still wearing his heart on his fur sleeve,” PETA said in a statement to Gigwise.

“Maybe one day this kid will grow up and grow out of his cruel wardrobe.”

Kid Rock said he had “every kind of animal” in his wardrobe and fur was his “biggest extravagance”.

It was rumored the Pamela divorced him partly because of his love of hunting.

Is Paul McCartney Giving The Boo To Cull Wild Boar?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

The McCartney And Mills Hearing Continues Into Day Three

This little piggy came to Paul’s house. This little piggy called it home. Boars like the Beatles. Or at least, ex-Beatles Paul McCartney.

Dozens of them are running around his 1,500 acre estate in Peasmarsh, East Sussex and those around want Paul to do something about it. But so far, he hasn’t given in and okayed for the population to be controlled.

Those who have problems with the wild boars say they are “breeding like rabbits,” and cause problems for those living in the area, including meddling in their gardens and shrubs.

“Boar are a huge problem for farmers. As with deer, the government has a policy to allow humane culling but Sir Paul is having none of it,” a source told the Sun.

Wild Boars can weigh up to 900lbs.-not your average stray cat eating the flowers in the garden. But surely, there must be a non-lethal way to take care of the problem.

Paul’s spokespeople haven’t gave word on why he isn’t doing anything about it, but given the fact that the vegetarian for decades is such an animal rights activists, he may very well find the current government “policy,” to reduce the numbers inhumane.

Moby Spontaneously Shops For Sexy Food, Not Hookers

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers, Videos.

The Cinema Society & GQ Host Screening Of 'Children Of Men'

Awhile back, we told you where to find an awesome video of Moby giving the tour of his kitchen.

Here’s another video in the Epicurious.com series where Moby talks about how it can be hard to do the vegan thing while on the road. No kidding. Just ask Mark Ruffalo, who is currently winning the Who Would You Poll, by the way.

He does a lot of “spontaneous shopping” since he lives a block or two from several grocery stores and apologizes for mentioning it because “spontaneous shopping,” doesn’t sound nearly as sexy as what a rock star should talk about, like hookers and drugs. Sometimes the best code words are the vegetarian ones.

Kid Rock Ready To Roll With PETA Over His Fur Collection

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, December 8th, 2008 in Fur, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Not So Vegetarian.

Kid Rock likes his fur. And he’s sick of PETA telling him he should do otherwise. Apparently, their anti-fur campaigns are fightin’ words.

“I want to go to war with PETA. My biggest extravagance is fur coats – I’ve got every kind of animal in my wardrobe,” he told Britain’s Mail.

We think he not only has every animal in his wardrobe, but his own laboratory as well, where he makes hybrid animals when he runs out of ideas. He loves fur and hunting so much, it’s rumored that’s why he and vegan, PETA supporting Pamela Anderson got divorced.

Now, the musician whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, is begging for some action from the animal rights group, hoping he’ll get a little flour thrown in his face soon. Or at least some red paint.

“I’m just willing the animal rights protesters to chuck some red paint on me. I understand people’s problems with it but to throw paint on someone is just wrong.”

Plus, those poor, helpless, actresses are so defenseless and cannot fight off the big bad PETA wolf.

“They do it to little Hollywood actresses who can’t defend themselves,” he said.

When a celebrity is this brazen against animal rights, PETA usually responds by sending them “a nice letter,” and information on why they should change their ways.

Since they have his ex-wife Pamela working for them, things could get nasty. It’s quite possible her theory of why men hunt was conceived during her relationship with him.

Radiohead Perfom At Victoria Park In London

Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who’s the greenest of them all?

Vegetarianism and environmentalism go hand in hand. You really can’t discuss being eco-friendly without at least talking about reducing meat consumption.

So it’s no surprise that several known vegetarians as well as some rumored vegetarians have popped up on the Coventry Telegraph list of greenest celebrities.

There’s vegan Thom Yorke of Radiohead, who refused to play in Glastonbury earlier this year, because the city had poor public transportation and he and the band felt that was damaging to the environment.

Vegan Alicia Silverstone has long supported PETA, but also has her own organic vegetable garden in the yard of her solar powered home she shares with her husband.

Natalie Portman attempted to make things greener for shoe fashionistas by starting her own vegan shoe line and donating a portion of the profits to charity. Although Te Casan closed shop, she still leads by example, never failing to let the media know she’s vegan, and filmed a video for National Geographic about how replacing regular light bulbs with energy saving light bulbs would have the environmental impact of taking millions of cars off the road.

Read about what the other celebs that made the list, including Brad Pitt, Leonardo Di Caprio, and Jack Johnson are doing at the Coventry Telegraph.

Why Throwing Rubber Meat At Vegan Moby Won’t Suck

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, December 7th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Rosario Dawson hosts The 2008 Willow Awards to benefit the Lower Eastside Girls Club

The horror/comedy film Suck, which vegan musician Moby has a role in, has just completed a few days of filming in Toronto.

As we told you earlier, the story is about a loser band that meets a vampire that while changes their fame and make others lust after them, results in their insatiable lust cravings for blood as well.

Since there is so much blood and guts in the film, you might wonder what kinds of props they’re using. Rest assured, Moby’s not down with being covered in real meat.

Suck’s production crew had fake beef created from latex rubber and foam, then dripped in fake blood.

The latex beef will be thrown at Moby’s character, Beef Ballow, lead singer of a band called Secretaries of Steak. Secretaries of Steak is a rival band to the loser band, The Winners, who’s luck improves after meeting the vampire.

Other stars in the film include Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, and Henry Rollins.

Andy Hurley’s Vegan, Straight-Edgeness Keeps Tabloids Away

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, December 6th, 2008 in Male Musicians.

MTV Presents

The media likes to rip on celebrities, and with the band Fall Out Boy, it seems Pete Wentz is the favorite whipping boy. But what if it were drummer Andy Hurley? What would the tabloids have to say about him? Nothing much, according to Hurley. In an interview with College Times:

“I’m vegan straight-edge, so I’m never going to be stumbling out of a bar drunk. Maybe I’ll trip and fall once, and somebody will get a funny picture of it. When I’m home – I live in Milwaukee – and no one cares in the first place, but I pretty much just go to movies and go eat and play Call of Duty with my friends.”

No, there’s not really much you can write about if you want to trash Andy. But rest assured, if we hear of anything, we’ll tell you. If we ever catch him ingesting butter…
