Mila Kunis stars as Natalie Portman‘s rival in the psychological thriller about two ballerinas, “Black Swan.”

Although Kunis is Portman’s opposite in character, she’s on the same side as Portman in real life when it comes to using animals for fashion.

For her Nylon Magazine photo shoot, Kunis made sure the coat she wore wasn’t made of real fur before agreeing to wear it.

The jacket, an Elizabeth and James faux leopard print, can be viewed here. Elizabeth and James makes several faux designs, like the Faux-fur cocoon shrug.

Besides fur that didn’t come from an animal’s hide, Kunis’ fashion style includes sneakers, jeans and sweatshirts, which she explains in this video interview on Nylon TV below.

“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” recently got superveganized as Russell Simmons joined the vegan host with his assistants who starred alongside him in the Oxygen reality TV show, “Running Russell Simmons.”

Russell did briefly discuss his new book, Super Rich, but he wasn’t there to only talk about himself. Russell credited several scenes in “Running” showing assistant Simone Reyes discussing vegan and animal rights issues for increasing her popularity among veg and AR communities and the cameras gave her a few seconds of tube time.

In case you missed it, you can get the lowdown on how Simone got involved with veganism in our exclusive interview with her.

“The best high is green vegetable juice and meditation.”

—Russell Simmons, on the season finale of “Running Russell Simmons,” during a conversation with his assistants on the topic of crack and how to get a healthy, natural, legal high.

Juice enthusiasts will agree and probably bookmark greenjuicerecipesnow.com, which can recommend juicing books like Green Smoothie Revolution, filled with quirky sounding juices like the Eye Eye Captain (yep, that’s a glass full of Vitamin A rich carrots, which play an important role in vision health, plus kale) and The Cucapple, a partnership between juiced cucumbers and apples. Could Parsley Pep Up take the place of banned caffeinated drinks like Four Loko in the bars?

Duff McKagan and Susan Holmes-McKagan PETA

You know the story. A rocker and a supermodel get together, fall in love and make beautiful PETA anti-fur ads.

Duff McKagan, who’s played with Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver and Loaded, and wife Susan Holmes McKagan, star of the E! series Married to Rock, got nude to show off their tattoos and send the message that your own skin is more beautiful, creative and interesting to look at than fur. Of course, wearing clothes is okay too, just as long as they didn’t come from another animal forced to live in a cage on a fur farm that’s so cramped and stressful, it starts to chew off its own limbs.

“I think everyone should share responsibility in bringing more awareness that, hey, [fur’s] not necessary, it’s out of fashion, it’s completely immoral to the animals,” says Susan, who is a former fur wearer.

Video interview with the couple can be viewed below.

Yes, in what originally looked like a wild rumor made up by a tabloid, E! confirmed that an elephant was part of the wedding for Richie and Madden on Saturday. A source told E!, “Nicole has always been obsessed with elephants. Lionel wanted to surprise her.”

As expected, this isn’t sitting too well with animal activists. More on that and a video showing guests arriving below.

With the cold season just hitting some of us, it’s still not too late to grab a few winter-wear items. Vegan designer and founder of Vaute Coture Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart has an interview in the Huffington Post where she gives alternatives to staying warm without using wool.

“It depends on the utility & look you’re aiming for, but if you’re going for the look but don’t need the warmth, cotton moleskin is a great option,” Hilgart said. “If you need warmth (as I always did in Chicago), high tech fabrics are needed– Polartec is an excellent one that includes fabrics that are all recyclable, and often recycled.”

Tommy Lee and SeaWorld have been at words in the media during the past week in a controversy over the marine park using the whale that killed a trainer last year to collect semen. Doing so puts other trainers at risk, as they have contact with the animal that was supposed to never have interaction with humans after a string of several incidents.

After Lee accused SeaWorld of using an “artificial vagina” to masturbate Tilly, the park fired back saying no such apparatus existed. Now, Lee argues he has proof and in a new letter to the organization, refers them to such a video on YouTube, along with statements made by a former worker. He also invites SeaWorld to allow him and PETA to tape the current methods for obtaining semen, if the old ones are no longer in use.

“Former SeaWorld scientist John Hall says in this article, “Early in the morning, the animal-care crew would take hot-water-filled cow vaginas and masturbate the males in the back tanks.” In this YouTube video, SeaWorld trainers demonstrate semen collection by standing in shallow water next to an orca and grabbing his penis until he ejaculates into a plastic bag.”
