Vegetarian Star

Is PETA running out of famous ladies to take their clothes off? Now, comic book characters are being recruited.

A geek’s dream come true, the women of Bluewater Comics have volunteered to bare all against the fur industry.

You might be familiar with Bluewater comics for their sequels to some of Hollywood mythology like The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Clash of the Titans, and Jason and the Argonauts or their monthly 10th Muse books.

Characters featured here are Emma Sonnet from 10th Muse, Diana Moore of JudoGirl, Scarlet of VSS: Nemesis Rising, and Isis from the Legend of Isis.

Oh, if only mom knew the comics her son read in this day and age. And she was only worried about dirty magazines under the bed.

Rick’s Cabaret NYC means business.

The only publicly traded chain of strip joints on NASDAQ (under the symbol RICK, if you’re interested in adding more stock to your rather bare (hahaha) portfolio) is getting down to business about animal fur.

It’s handpicked seven lovely ladies to star in a PETA anti-fur ad, who’d rather go topless than wear fur.

It’s probably a safe bet that most men would rather see them topless than wearing fur.

So gentlemen, the next time you need an excuse to go one of Rick’s strip joints, just tell the lady you believe in supporting humane entertainment companies who employ women who agree that fur is cruel and archaic.

Tell her you are taking a stand against an industry where much of the product is imported from countries with no animal welfare laws, and the animals are subjected to painful practices to obtain their pelts, such as being skinned alive.

It’s not about guys night out. It’s about taking a moral stance.

Dita Von Teese was spotted having lunch at Tobey Maguire’s favorite vegan restaurant, Real Food Daily.

We have to give the burlesque beauty entertainer both a thumbs up and thumbs down.

Von Teese worked with PETA in a campaign to encourage pet owners to spay and neuter their animals and was also set to star in a Beauty Without Cruelty campaign in cooporation with Chanel, to show how animal cruelty was unnecessary in the cosmetic industry.

But she has a collection of vintage furs she’s not ashamed to discuss.

“PETA’s totally aware of me,” she once told PEOPLE. “I’m not working with PETA to tell people to be vegetarians or to stop wearing fur. I am there to strictly speak about spaying and neutering your pets.”

PETA had responded by saying, “She said she has some vintage furs she wears occasionally. PETA often works with a celebrity on an issue they feel comfortable supporting, whether it’s supporting spaying and neutering, or speaking out against products that are tested on animals. So they may not be an animal rights activist, but their contribution to any of our campaigns is appreciated.” 

Could her recent visit to a vegan restaurant mean she’s leaning towards vegetarianism and will feel comfortable supporting this issue in the future?

If so, this beauty could make a nude, pro-vegetarian ad that would make a habitual steak eater try tempeh.

MTV will be showing a series of pro-vegetarian commercials running over the next five weeks.

The ads will give a behind the scenes view of what goes on in factory farms with the TryVeg.com web address displayed on the screen for those who want more information.

According to Vegan.com, this release was made by Compassion Over Killing member Erica Meier:

“Our 2009 MTV Pro-Veg Ad campaign launches tonight: viewers around the country will see, perhaps for their first time, a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the cruel world of factory farming—and they’ll be further directed to visit our website TryVeg.com for more information.”

MTV is becoming more known for its skits and shows than music, so who knows where this initial vegetarian campaign might lead to. We’re thinking a “30 Days of Veg” for the hardcore steak eater might make for some interesting Reality TV.

PETA has many foes and counting.

Their latest enemies include those offended by their Valentine’s Day display of two women kissing and showing affection to promote their “Vegetarians Make Better Lovers” campaign.

Since having to walk pass the display of lesbian affection that took place last week, numerous people have complained, including gays and lesbians.

According to politics.randomplayground.net, one blogger wrote in dismay, “All this little love fest shows is that lesbian relationships need validation and that women exist to titillate the sexual fantasies of men.”

The gay and lesbian blog, After Ellen, had this to say:

“PETA is placating to the stereotypical straight male fantasy that two women can’t wait for a big, burly man to come in and finish the job, or in this case, a big, burly broccoli-loving man. Sorry, PETA, but your latest stunt makes me hungry for a Big Mac.”

Fox News has proven it’s not a fan of PETA, as the station has aired programs with the anchors poking fun of the group, such as eating Kentucky Fried Chicken while making fun of their campaigns.

The station recently featured a PETA spokesperson to discuss the Veggie Love campaign. When the Fox anchor asked if PETA’s sexual gimmicks were an effective ad campaign, the PETA spokesperson cited numerous evidence that their campaigns worked, including people walking away with Vegetarian Starter Kits, and downloading vegetarian recipes after watching the NBC rejected Super Bowl ad on their website.

In all fairness, the viewers might have thought the links led to more porn, versus vegetarian info.

Seriously, though. Is PETA getting riskier and riskier with these sexual ad campaigns? In the beginning, there were nude, but still artful and tasteful photos of celebrities proclaiming to shun fur and embrace the meatless lifestyle. Now the group has progressed to veggie porn videos and public displays of lesbian affection, that even some lesbians find offensive.

Watch the video to view the interview between Fox and PETA. Should PETA start cleaning up its act or risk losing credibility?

In a sad, sad story where no one came out the winner, a chimpanzee has been shot to death after mauling a friend of his owner.

The chimp named Travis had starred in Coca-Cola and Old Navy commercials and also appeared on television pilots.

Travis had been cared for by owner Sandra Herold, and he was considered a pet and family member who would go along for car rides and open doors for people.

When Travis attacked Herold’s friend, she stabbed him in an attempt to get him to stop. When police arrived on the scene, Travis began attacking them too, and the chimp was eventually shot dead.

So many celebrities have spoken out against having wild animals like chimps as pets, as well as using them on television, most recently with actress Anjelica Huston protesting the use of apes in the entertainment industry. Perhaps if Travis had been sent to an animal sanctuary, no blood would have been shed.

Watch the video below for the clips from an Old Navy commercial Travis starred in, as well as conversation of the telephone call made to 911 when he attacked.

Being the handsome vegan man he is, Moby is going to have his stalkers.

The latest obsessive fan is full of more plastic than Hollywood.

This looks like something you might watch during Spike Feresten’s Comedy For Stoners.

A plastic Barbie doll is obsessed with Moby in Cassidy Loves Moby, now playing on the Sundance Channel.

“Here I am,” she says in one episode. “Alone at the airport, chasing after some rock star. He comes to me in my dreams.”

Um, yeah. Many levels of creepiness.

Cassidy appears in various scenes blabbing about how much she is into the musician and in between her love gushes are clips with Moby interviews, quotes from his blog, and his tunes.

But we really need to know more about this doll’s diet before she tries to score with the “Troubles So Hard,” singer. As a healthy vegan, he’ll probably want someone similar. 

The clip below shows her on an airplane seat with a package of what looks to be junk food goodies next to her, but little else is given on her diet. Those junk goodies could be bacon flavored.

She drinks bottled water, but that may mean she’s just wasteful and not conscious of the mile high piles of waste those unrecycled plastic bottles are creating in landfills.

Watch below and judge for yourself. Moby material? What the heck did plastic chick eat?

If you followed the Whale Wars series on Animal Planet, you know Captain Paul Watson and his crew on the Steve Irwin ship, which included actress Daryl Hannah, used prank-like tactics to throw off the whalers to try to keep them from killing whales in what they claim is for research purposes, including throwing rancid stink butter bombs at the ship.

Now, the whalers have fought back. After the Steve Irwin collided with the Japanese whaler ship, the hunters decided to get even by throwing chunks of bloodied whale and whale fat at the Captain and his crew.

Interestingly enough, if the whales are captured for research purposes, why are the whalers throwing away good study material? If they’re allowed to capture them, surely they’d find a good use for the materials besides blubber bombs. 

Captain Watson claims the collision was accidental. Japanese whalers say otherwise. Take a look and tell us what you think.
