Vegetarian Star

“When I am brushing my teeth, I’m bending my leg behind me, or I’m lifting my leg up and holding it in that position so I’m squeezing my butt in. I can do that while I’m washing or slicing vegetables, too. Or I go up and down on my toes, working my calves a little bit.”

—Christie Brinkley to Shape on her intense exercise regime. That’s quite some multi-tasking.

[picappgallerysingle id=”10088946″]An 18-year old woman from Kentucky has been crown Miss World in the 60th annual competition held this year in Sanya, China.

Alexandria Mills beat 114 other girls, some of which jokingly nicknamed her “KFC” because of where she’s from in the United States.

But don’t let the nickname fool you, the Blue Grass beauty queen wouldn’t dare celebrate her crowning with a bucket of fried chicken.

Patricia De Leon PETA

Patricia De Leon‘s anti-bullfighting ad has finally been unveiled by PETA. It’s refreshing to see a beautiful red dress on rose petals in place of blood drops, what would normally be the decor in a bullfighting arena.  Earlier, we posted a Q & A session the model and former Miss Panama did with the animal rights group, where De Leon expressed distaste that bullfighting was celebrated in a culture with so many other beautiful, non-violent traditions.

Bullfighting is never a “fair” fight, as ultimately the bull can never be the winner. But there are other ways the matador can sabotage his opponent, causing more suffering to the animal before the fight.

According to PETA, the bulls are debilitated by being drugged and deprived of food and have heavy objects dropped on their backs. Some handlers engage in an illegal practice called “shaving,” where a few inches of the bull’s horns are sawed off, exposing nerves and further impairing the animal’s condition.

Former Miss Panama Patricia De Leon conducted a Q & A session with PETA on the atrocities of killing bulls in Spain for tradition. The Catalonia region has already outlawed bullfighting, but in other parts of the country, there is still more work to be done.

“We have so many beautiful traditions in our culture. Beautiful stuff. Why identify our culture by killing?” De Leon asks.

While most people are familiar with bullfighting, some may not have heard of the equally brutal “El Toro de la Vega,” footage of which can be viewed below.

Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster are happily expecting a baby in March of 2011, but the couple’s happiness could have been threatened by fish.

Lancaster is a lover of seafood and had to be counseled by her doctor about the dangers of consuming mercury-laden fish, especially during pregnancy.

“I love fish and I thought that it was healthy without understanding the high mercury levels that fish like tuna, swordfish and halibut can contain,” Lancaster, 39, told Hello! in its latest issue, according to People.

“My doctor said it was unhealthy to have so much mercury in my body, and also for conceiving babies.”

Pescatarian is better than a red meat eater, but mercury levels found in fish can affect brain and nervous system development and the FDA has issued guidelines for groups at-risk for being affected the most–pregnant women, women trying to get pregnant and children.

Angela Lindvall is the face behind Donna Karan‘s new fragrance, Pure DKNY, which sources vanilla through a fair traded cooperative in Uganda. By obtaining vanilla continuously for the fragrance, Pure DKNY seeks to improve farming and processing conditions in Uganda where the bean is indigenous while providing economic opportunity to the farmers, 60% of which are women.

Combine this humanitarian initiative with an eco-friendly recycled glass bottle and carton packaging made using 100% renewable energy in a carbon neutral facility, the only thing standing between this fragrance and perfection is whether or not Pure DKNY is free from animal products.

Donna Karan fragrances are not tested on animals. But Lindvall wasn’t exactly sure if any animal parts went into a bottle.

“I would hope there are no cat hormones in there,” the model who tries to be more eco-friendly told EcoStiletto.

Treatments for clefts from surgery to speech experts help give these individuals a beautiful smile on the outside and confidence  inside.

Carol Alt recently premiered her vegan skincare line, RAW Essentials, on Shopnbc, where customers can shop and interact via various electronic media including online, mobile devices and cable and satelite TV. Alt’s line, including cleansers, hand and foot care, anti-aging products and more are free of synthetic chemicals, parabens, vegan and not tested on animals.

It’s unknown if Alt demanded the products be cruelty-free or if the company that wanted her name behind them insisted. It’s not as if Alt is cruelty-free in other areas of her life. Earlier this year, she attended the Dennis Basso fur show with attire fit for the event’s theme.

Still, with a matching hand and foot cream for roughly $25, RAW Essentials offer another alternative to synthetic cosmetics that, unlike Alt, don’t contain any fur.
