We gave you the best vegetarian news stories of 2010. But a lot of anti-veg events made headlines too. Here’s the best of the worst.

10. Johnny Weir ruffles fur feathers during the winter Olympics. It’s bad enough he picks a costume with rabbit fur around the collar. After being criticized, he’s says he’ll “wear fur again” and it’s all just a part of creative expression. Someone hit the ice with his head one time too many while practicing the double-dunce-klutz.

9. Sarah Palin kills caribou on TLC reality show, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” Someone who feeds her family potentially lead contaminated meat shouldn’t be criticizing Mrs. Obama’s initiatives to make school lunches healthier. In 2008, she gave an interview while Tom turkey got his head chopped off. In 2010, it’s Rudolph. Easter Bunny, dude, watch your back!

8. Angelina Jolie says secret beauty tip is steak. This is coming from an ex-vegan actress who was too lazy to do her research and learn to eat vegan properly, so she failed, went back to meat, and praised it for giving her that sexy “Salt” look. Would love to see what her heart looks like from all the salt in processed meats.

7. KT Tunstall is vegetarian–except for pig’s blood. Sure, some vegans will cheat and eat grandma’s butter cookies at Christmas. But KT Tunstall discussed in detail how scrumptious black pudding, a congealed “treat” made from pig’s blood, was even though she normally eats tofu and beans. “Suddenly we see” Twilight vegetarian vampire taking a whole new meaning.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will star alongside each other in Darren Aronofsky’s film, The Tiger. According to Entertainment.ie, the movie will be the first the couple has starred in together since Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

The Tiger centers around an animal rights activist who must save a village of people from a tiger who’s become accustomed to the taste of human flesh, a phenomena, according to Save The Tiger Fund, is rare.

Humans moving into areas where tigers inhabit and tigers that are too sick or injured to catch normal prey of wild pig, wild cattle and several species of deer are usually the causes of man-eating tigers’ behavior.

Awhile back the Daily Mail published a story on how Brad Pitt was disgusted by Angelina Jolie‘s meat-a-day habit and wanted the children to stop eating so much steak. Sure, it sounded like a tabloid rumor, but now Starpulse has published a quote from Jolie on how she used to be a vegan.

“I joke that a big juicy steak is my beauty secret,” Jolie said. “But seriously, I love red meat. I was a vegan for a long time, and it nearly killed me. I found I was not getting enough nutrition.”

This must be her secret to retiring early, cause red meat as a prophylactic will do nothing but send her screen career down the tubes if she’s unlucky enough to be stricken with illness. More studies are linking red and processed meats with cancer more often than actors and actresses hook up and break up.

If the land of veggies is giving you problems in nutrition land, we’ve said it before, now we’ll scream it again.

Angelina Jolie bought a $5,000 horse hair bag, but investigated before saying “yay,” to neigh.

Before she was caught carrying the Akris ecru horsehair handbag, Jolie had her stylist call the company to see if they treated the horses well.

“We told her horses get haircuts just like we do,” Akris designers Albert Kriemler said.

As a spokesperson for the company, nothing but positive responses would be expected.

Girliegirlarmy has a suggestion for the next time Jolie buys a purse:

“A word to the wise Ms. Jolie: Anytime you are buying an animal product, you can be sure as heck it wasn’t just a “haircut.” Next time, choose compassion. Stella McCartney bags are always entirely cruelty free!”

Time now to share your thoughts.

Can an animal derived product ever be cruelty-free?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were spotted having dinner earlier this month and a source says Angelina discussed the “evils of fur” with actress Vera Farmiga.

She was also reportedly nibbling on a tomato.

Could Angelina’s interest in cruelty-free be due to Brad’s pressure on her and the children to eat vegetarian, as reported earlier?

Whether or not the sensational story is true, one thing will always be factual–fake fur is better than the real deal, as no animal gets skinned alive or electrocuted or stuck in a cramped cage for its short lifetime.

If you the kind of woman who fakes it, check out Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs.

It’s getting colder and you’ll need that extra layer–just let the animals keep theirs.

Is the happy couple Brangelina experiencing a rift over the dinner table?

According to the UK Daily Mail, Brad Pitt wants partner and mother of his children, Angelina Jolie, to stop feeding the children meat.

A source said, “Brad hates seeing the children eating meat and he’s annoyed with how much red meat Angelina has.”

The source added that Brad wants the family to go vegetarian, but Angelina says that will never happen.

Uh-oh. Nothing like trouble in what would otherwise be paradise.

What do you guys think? Will the Brangelina fam go veg?

Are you living in a mixed meal household that frequently has arguments over how much meat the omnivores are eating?

So she screwed up her vegan icing. Big deal! The cupcakes were still delicious nosh and Jessica Alba made a good effort to give baby Honor Marie Warren a healthier, non-dairy sweet. This woman deserves a vegan Mother’s Day basket!

BoKU Superfoods, the same company that gave away vegan Earth Day goodies to stars like Ellen DeGeneres, is giving several celebrity moms, including Jessica, a package filled with organic, kosher, and vegan goodies.

“When people consume a diet filled with super nutrient-dense foods, they can maximize their genetic potential for health and well-being,” said B?KU™ Master Formulator, Dr. BJ Adrezin. “B?KU™ Super Food is formulated to give people a potent boost in the right direction.”

Other celeb moms selected to receive their superboost are Angelina Jolie, Tori Spelling, Nicole Richie, Camila Alve, Gwen Stefani, Minnie Driver, Rebecca Romijn and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.

What do  you think of all these “superfoods” anyway? Are items enriched with particular nutrients any better than seeking out plain, regular food that’s naturally filled with vitamins and minerals?

Superfood or supergimmick?
