Pamela Anderson never shies away from irony.

If it’s not being the vegetarian who opens a strip club that serves steaks, it’s promoting vegetarianism in a restaurant that serves foie gras.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Anderson wrote to Montreal’s Restaurant Globe, the venue where she debuted the pro-vegetarian ad banned by city officials because it was deemed sexist, asking it to remove the delicacy created by forcing ducks to eat so much food their livers swell several times the normal size, causing pain and death.

“Surely the irony was not lost on you that I was unveiling a pro-vegetarian ad at your restaurant,” Anderson wrote.

Dita Von Teese has taken her burlesque striptease show to Paris, France, where she tantalizes with her sensual moves at the Crazy Horse. The American dancer divides her time between Paris and the United States, cramming in marathon French lessons and shopping at the markets in between routines, and admits she misses Los Angeles at times, partially because of the selection of vegetarian restaurants there.

“I miss driving my cars [Dita has a 1939 Chrysler New Yorker, a 1965 Jaguar S-type and a BMW Z4] and some of my favourite vegetarian restaurants, although I am not actually a vegetarian,” Von Teese told Connexion France.

France is sometimes known for being a paradise for meat eaters, but according to food blogger David Lebovitz, there’s no shortage in vegetarian fare in the City of Lights.

Joe Jonas was spotted taking a big bite of a veggie burger at vegan restaurant Real Food Daily in West Hollywood.

Would love to have this Jonas Brother put a purity ring on for the environment and promise to save his palate for meat-free meals forever.

One researcher at the Carnegie Mellon University estimated that swiping a veggie burger for a meat once a week can save the equivalent of 1860 km of driving. That’s approximately the distance from Colorado to Alabama or the amount of miles a screaming, hormonal teenage girl will travel to see Joe eat anything.
