Vegetarian Star

Bob Harper doesn’t rest a minute!

When he’s not coaching weight loss contestants on The Biggest Loser or promoting the goodness of whole grains, he’s giving advice on My Trainer Bob on everything from healthy snacks to getting rid of love handles.

A recent video segment has Bob answering questions about raw vegan diets, protein sources for vegans and good vegan snacks.

Olivia Munn PETA

Olivia Munn joined protesters from Last Chance for Animals and PETA in Los Angeles  Staples Center recently to speak against Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey, which is performing in the city through Sunday.

Munn said, “When you look at something like the circus and everyone’s laughing and there’s color and there’s music and everything seems so great. But when you go right behind that door and they’re in these crates all day long and then they’re getting shocked and beat just so they can get up and dance around on a ball … it was just so sickening.”

Rocsi Diaz, host of BET’s music video countdown show, 106 and Park, invited her dog Chi Chi to co-host a special announcement with PETA2 urging the adoption of pets versus buying them in stores.

Diaz and Chi Chi are cute as buttons, but wouldn’t it be great it one day there wasn’t a need for PSAs like these? If people won’t adopt cats, dogs and other animals voluntarily, maybe law will require they rescue shelter animals instead.

Bob Barker‘s visit to Larry King Live was, as expected, phenomenal!

Hard to believe the octogenarian is keeping a pace most men half his age would struggle to compete with.

Barker sat alongside Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson and explained why he gave $5 million to fight whale harpooning.

Harper and other activists probably breathed a sign of relief when the International Whaling Commission recently rejected a much publicized proposal to turn over a 24 year moratorium on commercial whaling.

Bill Maher has a guest post at the New York Daily News urging his Canadian friends to make strides towards ending the country’s annual seal hunt.

Ever the sarcastic personality Maher is, he uses examples of how other governments have agreed the hunt is senseless, while Canada falls behind even the…gasp…United States Senate!

“Opposition around the world is growing. Last year, the U.S. Senate – a group of people who usually can’t agree that the sky is blue – unanimously passed a resolution calling for an immediate end to the annual slaughter. But the Canadian government just keeps putting its fingers in its ears and singing “la, la, la” so that it won’t hear anything it doesn’t like. Or, if it does hear, it responds with all the subtlety and sophistication of a fistfight in the men’s room at a monster-truck rally.”
