PETA has unveiled its latest ad against animal testing.

Layla Kayleigh, the star of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, is asking you to think before buying lipstick or mascara that may have been worn on a rabbit or rat first.

“I don’t think people are purposely buying cosmetics and household products that are tested on animals. I just don’t think they think twice. … It really takes such a small thing to make such big impact, you know, and I feel like the more people get involved, the more it can make a difference.”

You’ve probably heard by now that PETA has replaced it’s controversial “Save The Whales” billboard featuring an obese woman with one less offensive, but still advocating vegetarianism.

Talk show host Montell Williams recently sat down with PETA’s president Ingrid Newkirk to discuss the billboard.

Williams’ questions whether PETA went too far.

MW: Ingrid, you have admit, come on, I’ve got it, you were controversial, you hit your home run, it went out of the park, I’m talking about it for three days. And the rest of America is going to keep talking about it. But the truth is, I think Joseph is right. Any child who would use that as a reason, or anybody who now says ‘those fat people are people who pick on animals,’ come on, we’ve got to slow down a little bit.

IN: I wish more than anything you can ever imagine that we could not be controversial, and we could not be provocative. I really do.

Montell even suggests why not make it equal opportunity and put men on the billboard versus targeting women.

His daughter, Wyntergrace, is veggie.

Maybe he’s afraid one day she’ll get naked for a campaign!

Olivia Munn recently Tweeted about her experience eating vegan pizza.

The Attack of the Show! co-host doesn’t appear to have enjoyed the experience.

“Eating vegan pizza with Kevin. Note to self: vegan equals poo.”

We don’t know what Munn put on her pizza, but maybe it was the chef’s cooking  skills that were “poo,” cause vegan pizza is definitely delish!

If you’re looking to pop something in the oven for your quick fix, Amy’s Kitchen has several options, including a non dairy rice crust with soy cheese and a cheeseless roasted vegetable variety.

If do it yourself thrills you, pick up some Follow Your Heart, Vegan Rella, or Teese Vegan Cheese at the grocery or health food store.

There are dozens of options for toppings.

Poo doesn’t have to be one of them.

Bob Barker has made ongoing efforts to end the suffering of the caged bears on display at various tourist attractions in Cherokee, North Carolina, including meeting with Principal Chief Michell Hicks of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation.

Now he’s taking his stance on Larry King’s CNN blog in hopes of reaching an even bigger audience.

“The good people of Cherokee welcomed me warmly, and many told me they agreed that the bears are kept in deplorable conditions. Bears are very intelligent, active and curious animals. They need room to roam, natural surroundings to investigate and opportunities to forage, climb and dig dens.”

“Earlier in my career, I hosted a show called Truth or Consequences. I closed the show by saying, “… hoping all your consequences are happy ones!” I hope with all my heart that Chief Hicks and the tribal council will make the consequences for the Cherokee bears happy ones. Until then, my heart and my conscience won’t allow me to do anything but ask people to stay away from Cherokee and voice their support for allowing the bears to retire to a sanctuary.”

Brooke Hogan is following Tila Tequila’s lead and blogging about the horrors of fur on Globalgrind.com.

Brooke has Russell Simmons to thank for directing her to a video and opening her eyes about fur factory farms.

Now she’s hoping others will see the truth as well.

“Last week Russell Simmons made me cry. Sounds juicy, I know but sorry, there is no real scandal to tell. But there is a story – so here it is. As most of you know Russell is an animal rights activist. He truly cares about animals and tries to spread the animal rights message to everyone.”

“I love animals, I was raised with animals and respect them. I was speechless when I saw this and it affected me deeply. I know that there are much more fashionable and compassionate ways to stay warm in the winter so I’m pleading with you to watch the video below and join me in the fight. Animals feel pain and suffer exactly the same way as you or I do. They weren’t put on this planet so that we could do whatever we wanted to them and not be held accountable.”

“Join me and vow to NEVER buy fur…not even fur gloves or fur on your collars. Fur equals pain and suffering. Period. And for my girls out there, if you watch this video you WILL cry so make sure you have your waterproof mascara on first. Its a killer. Literally.”

Read the rest of Brooke’s blog entry and watch the video that makes her need waterproof mascara at globalgrind.com.

A letter gets your message across, but there’s nothing like face to face interaction.

Several weeks ago, Bob Barker wrote a letter to the Principal Chief of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation, asking for an end to the caged bear pits that serve as a tourist attraction in Cherokee, North Carolina.

On Tuesday, Bob met with Chief Principal Michell Hicks and five other members of the Tribal council, asking that the caged bears be turned over to an animal sanctuary.

The bears exist in walled enclosures rooted in the ground at three local attractions in Cherokee.

“To think that with as advanced as our civilization is now that there is any place in the United States were bears are kept in pits is just unbelievable,” said Barker. “Just picture yourself, if your life, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, month after month, was in a pit.”

Vegetarian Barker is part Cherokee himself and grew up on a reservation in South Dakota.
