Vegetarian Star

Joaquin Phoenix recently retired from the acting business to concentrate on a career in singing. But is it really singing?

This video shows Joaquin…rapping? Is a vegan Vanilla Ice in the making?

Phoenix and fellow vegan buddy Casey Affleck were at the LAVO club at The Palazzo in Las Vegas recently, where Phoenix sure looked a hell of a lot different than he did back in his younger Christmas video making days.

Before his gansta performance, Phoenix enjoyed a specially prepared vegan meal in the LAVO private room.

We asked you before if you thought Joaquin would do well as a singer. Here’s your chance to re-judge his abilities.

We’re out of here. Word to your mother.

We’ve been talking about this Veggies For The Children moment for months! Since we’re so close to inducting the man featured on this video named Barack Obama, we thought we’d let you watch it.

Obama says that in the interest of full disclosure, he has to admit he likes a steak every once in awhile. And he’s not going to lie about barbecue either. But he realizes the importance of how a healthier diet, which includes more plant based items, can reduce rates of obesity related diseases like diabetes. He adds that it takes more grain to produce a pound of beef versus just eating the grain.

What a wise man we’ve elected!

Stephen Colbert thought it would be fun to satirized PETA’s Save The Sea Kittens Campaign, and gave a “Tip of the Hat” piece of advice to the animal rights group. 

“Save The Sea Kittens” is designed to get people to stop eating seafood by making fish seem as cute, adorable, and intelligent as cats.

Colbert admits that normally he’s not a fan of PETA because if “scientists can’t squirt shampoo into a rabbit’s eyes, then how would I know what shampoo to squirt into my rabbit’s eyes,” he sarcastically said.

Stephen decides to rename other animals with vegetarian names so that they’ll seem more acceptable to eat, including calling cats “landfish,” cows “field potatoes,” and owls “sky nachos.”

The “Tip of the Hat” starts after a minute and a half into the video.

Safe to say he’s not buying into the campaign. Bet Jeremy Piven is, though.

Find out more about Hunter Burgan at peta2.com.

Hunter Burgan has been (veganly) eating up the spotlight since he’s become Vegan Ambassador for MacBeth shoes.

He sat down with Peta2 for an interview about his recent promotion:

Why was it important for you to design an all-vegan shoe, even down to the glue used?
First off, have you ever worn a pair of shoes without glue? They just fall apart. So, if they are going to use glue, it’s going to have to be vegan glue. You know, animals don’t wear shoes with human glue—it’s just disrespectful.

Makes perfect sense.

You can watch Hunter’s MacBeth video above and see him doing a spastic like dance before taking out an umbrella to protect himself from-you guessed it-raining shoes.

You can also enter a contest to win a pair of Hunter’s new shoes and an iPod nano, but you must do so before February 2nd.

“The destruction to the environment by using large areas of land to feed cattle or pigs is actually taking up an awful lot of land that could be used to produce far more protein, if it was vegetable protein. Making animal protein is wasteful.”
—-Vegetarian renowned primatologist and author Dr. Jane Goodall. She, like actress Emily Deschanel, is featured in a video series by SupremeMasterTV.

For all you gamers who think Rockband is your prized possession, here’s a contest you’ll wanna sign up for.

Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders are offering a chance for one lucky winner who also happens to be an animal lover to star in a music video lip syncing “Boot of Chinese Plastic,” the official fan video that will appear on YouTube, Pretenders, Apple Quick-Time, and PETA websites.

The contest is Chrissie’s way of both promoting her new song and standing up for her beliefs about how animals shouldn’t be used for fashion purposes.

The simple requirement is that you make a YouTube video of yourself singing the song (lyrics right here) and make sure you show your “plastic boots” sometime while on camera.

Runners up will at least appear on The Pretenders website and receive a limited edition vinyl of the latest album, Break Up The Concrete.

If you ever wanted to audition for American Idol, but didn’t have the guts to do it in person, here’s your second chance to do your thing in the comfort of your own home. Not to mention no evil Simon commenting on your performance.

Ultimate Fighting Champion Mac Danzig was tired of eating chicken and fish all the time. He wanted to go vegan, but was unsure of how it would affect his performance. So he decided to wait until he finished his athletic career. But an experiment before a Pro Boxing match in 2004 showed he recovered better than he did when eating chicken and fish.  Being the man of reason he is, he continued doing what the data showed was best.

And that’s how it all vegan.

In this video, Mac talks about his diet, his love for Canada (he’s not trying to kiss ass, he assures), and other vegetarian/vegan athletes.
