Vegetarian Star

Rachael Ray is donating $775,000 to animal shelters, charities and other pet organizations by the end of 2010. This charitable gesture is in addition to the proceeds from her dog food and treats she had developed under her name a few years ago, Rachael Ray Nutrish and Just 6, 100% of which goes to animal charities.

In addition, Ray will help host “pop-up” adoption events during the tour to promote her new book, Look + Cook, in various cities.

“It truly brings a smile to my face to know that this money will help so many animals who just need someone to care for them,” said Ray. “This donation should be credited to our loyal consumers and retailers across the U.S. who purchase Nutrish and Just 6 because they to want to help provide for animals that were abandoned or mistreated. For this, I am truly grateful.”

The midterm elections are over, but one former politician will be asking for your vote soon, as PETA holds its Sexiest Vegetarians contest for 2011.

Insiders reveal former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, is definitely a candidate.

“Clinton will surely be a popular nominee in next year’s contest,” said PETA’s Jaime Zalac, according to U.S. News and World Report.

On the advice of two famous physicians and authors, Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Clinton turned to a plant-based diet in hopes it may repair some of the damage to his cardio system he’s sustained over the years after learning of a study that showed most individuals who stopped eating animal products were able to reverse signs of heart disease.

Weezer is a largely vegetarian and vegan band, so you know the tour rider will be full of requests for good stuff.

The Smoking Gun was able to obtain a copy of the food requests while on tour. Lunch should always offer a “vegan alternative,” and suggestions such as a “vegetarian type soup,” or “vegetarian chili,” and veggie versions of hot dogs, hamburgers and other meat entrees are made.

The boys are attempting to make things eco-friendly, as the demand, “NO STYROFOAM ANYWHERE,” was printed in CAPS.  But one team of students at University of California San Diego found that paper cups actually require more energy and more materials to make, release more emissions into the atmosphere and use more waste. Oh, Say It Ain’t So!

Russell Brand and Katy Perry finally tied the knot recently in a ceremony that was vegan, according to several sources around the web.

The animals are thankful they weren’t eaten, but according to Ecorazzi, they may have wanted a little peace in the early morning hours, as Russell and Katy’s after party may have violated noise ordinances.

After the traditional Hindu wedding, guests stayed in the nearby Ranthambore National Park. Some of the guests reportedly played loud music until 2:30 AM, which violates state mandated noise pollution laws as it disturbs the wild animals in the area.

To prepare for the role in Stone, where a convict is eligible for early release for covering up the murder of his parents with a fire, Edward Norton traveled to talk to those behind real bars for answers. Real prisoners provided so much insight, Norton said 60% of the lines in the movie were changed based on their answers. If you’re looking to stay out of trouble, for example, be a vegetarian.

“At one point one of these guys was talking about a fight, and how he just had to let it happen,” Norton told Frothygirlz. “He said, “I’m three months out from review, I can’t get a ticket, I can’t get anything. When you are short time, you have to be a vegetarian.”

“I said, “What?” and he said,” A vegetarian, you can’t have a beef with nobody.”

While veggie has taken a place as slang in the slammer, those avoiding meat may be happier in general than those who don’t, thus making it less likely they’ll be picking a “beef” with anyone and jeopardizing a lot of things, including early parole.

The Office‘s Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer admit they both own pretty vocal cats.

“I’ve never had a cat who meows and chatters as much as he does,” Fischer told PEOPLEPets.com at the La Femme International Film Festival Celebrity Gala. “He’s a very vocal cat.”

Kinsey, whose character on the show is an eccentric cat owning woman, says her cat, Otter, sounds like he is always on the prowl for a female. “He’s chatty, but it kind of scares me,” she said. “It sounds like maybe a cat in heat. That’s just him [being] happy.”

Any cat owner knows felines have a way of communicating with humans, but is it actual language they’re getting across or mere vocal utterances? Regardless of the answer to that question, a graduate student at Cornell University found domesticated cat noises seem to be successful in one area in particular–getting the human to respond as needed.

In a study described as one where “no cats were harmed in the experiment, although a few human eardrums were stretched,” Nicholas Nicastro compiled dozens of vocal samples from cats and played them for human volunteers who were asked to rate them for pleasantness and appeal and examined what acoustic features accompanied each sound.

Actress Emma Stone had Paul McCartney design a matching tattoo for her and her mother to celebrate her mother’s recovery from breast cancer.

While she and Woody Harrelson were at McCartney’s home dining on veggie burgers, Stone asked McCartney to draw a tiny Blackbird, symbolizing the famous McCartney song that’s a favorite by both Emma and her mother.

The Easy A actress, who described the veggie burgers as “so good,” recently appeared on The Late Show and told David Letterman the decision to decorate her body was the first–and probably the last.

“We’ve never gotten tattoos before and probably never will again. Two years ago tomorrow she got diagnosed with breast cancer, and she’s out of the woods now, which is amazing. I wrote a letter to Paul McCartney asking him if he would draw two little bird feet – because he wrote the song – and yesterday he sent them to me.”

Just a reminder that continuing to eat those veggie burgers and soy products, as opposed to animal fat laden real ones, may one day spur your recovery from breast cancer. A study recently published in the Canadian Medical Journal found women who suffered from hormone sensitive cancers and were post-menopausal had a significantly lower risk of breast cancer recurrence if they consumed lots of soy isoflavones.

The clip of Stone with Letterman can be viewed below.

Like many men, Steve-O has an interest in breasts.

He recently told Vanity Fair how he really feels about those pink ribbons going around during the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness.

“Let me tell you how I feel about these pink ribbons. I was watching the N.F.L. last week, and all the players were wearing pink. I don’t think they did anything to educate people about cancer prevention. I don’t think a pink ribbon does anything. What people need to know is that it’s the atrocious diet of Americans that’s responsible for all your cancer, all your heart disease, all your diabetes.”
