Pamela Anderson Signs Copies Of "Baywatch" DVD Seasons 1 & 2

Pamela Anderson‘s debut of A*Muse has come to an end at Air New Zealand Fashion Week.

When a reporter asked her if she’d always be remembered as CJ running on the beach in a red swimsuit on Baywatch, Pamela answered she’d rather be remembered for her work with vegetarianism and animal rights.

Of course, wearing a red G-string while introducing your eco conscious fashion helps to make a lasting impression.

Bob Barker Still Fighting Edmonton Zoo For Lucy The Elephant

TV legend Bob Barker meets fans in Los Angeles

Bob Barker is showing his animal rights love for Lucy the elephant at the Edmonton Zoo in Canada.

The vegetarian ex Price is Right host is calling for the zoo to release Lucy so she may live her remaining years in a sanctuary.

Bob met with zoo officials recently for the proposal.

“There’s very little agreement on anything,” Bob said. “One minute they say she’s happy and healthy and the next minute they say that she’s too ill to travel.”

“Before I go to my maker I would like to see Lucy in the sanctuary,” Bob added.

Bob mentioned that PETA had hired a high profiled Toronto-based lawyer Clayton Ruby to see if anything can be done through the courts to have Lucy moved.

The zoo’s veterinarian, Dr. James Oosterhuis, insists that Lucy’s current respiratory condition would make it dangerous to move her.

“Her current respiratory problems preclude any thought of moving her and in fact, it would be life-threatening,” wrote Oosterhuis. “It is my opinion that it would be unethical for any veterinarian to recommend moving her.”

Barker, along with animal rights activists and their veterinarians insist Lucy can only get better if she is moved.

Tweet the Giraffe From “The Zookeeper” Dies Days After Filming

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Film & TV.

Lions On Show Ahead Of London Zoos Late Night Event

A giraffe that took part in filming the comedy The Zookeeper has died just days after wrapping up its final shoot.

Tweet, an 18-year old male giraffe that had also been on the sets of Ace Ventura, Evan Almighty, and Toys R Us ads, collapsed while being fed in his pen last week.

Giraffes can live well into their late 20s.

“It’s an outrage,” said Lisa Wathne, a spokeswoman for PETA. “I don’t think anyone should be surprised.”

PETA had sent a letter to several stars of the film, urging the show to use animation and special effects versus bringing in animals from a supply company, Birds and Animals Unlimited, that had known USDA violations.

This comedy doesn’t have a happy ending at all.

Isabel Lucas Backs Out Like A Baby From “Rights Revoked”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Film & TV.

The Cove Special New York Screening

Isabel Lucas has pulled out of an animal rights documentary titled Rights Revoked, after not being able to get along with her co-star Elissa Sursara.

Wow.

It’s like save the whales, but you can’t use my markers to make your poster.

According to bscreview.com:

“The 24-year-old booming actress cites brewing on-set tensions and personal discomfort for her decision, while Sursara remains on board for the project, something fans of Lucas’ congratulate her for. Said one comment on a News.com.au subsite, ‘I commend Elissa for sticking to her passion for animals and not backing out like a baby.’”

If there’s any reason to get up in the morning to look at someone you don’t like, it’s definitely a higher purpose like animal welfare.

The Transformers star insists she is ensuring the document will be successful, as having many “anger” and “messy emotions” will get in the way of the production.

Emily Deschanel, Kathy Freston Enjoy Animal Acres Gala 2009

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, September 14th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Food & Drink.

(500) Days of Summer Los Angeles Premiere

This weekend, stars flocked to the annual Animal Acres Gala for celebration.

Animal Acres is a non-profit animal advocacy organization that works to protect farmed animals through rescue and shelter, education, public outreach and investigating claims of abuse.

Ellen DeGeneres was this year’s honorary Gala chairperson and a host of celebrities, including emcee Hal Sparks, author Kathy Freston, actress Emily Deschanel and actor Ed Begley Jr. attended the celebration.

Drummer and author Bobby Rock received the “Compassion Into Action” award for his education efforts, which he said aren’t always easy when faced with the competition for meat and dairy advertisements people are bombarded with.

“It’s not easy, since the average kid gets 10,000 hits of animal agriculture through the media from hamburger commercials, to cheese from happy cows ads, to give eggs a break and we only get them for three hours,” Rock said.

Author of the Quantum Wellness books, Kathy Freston, was the recipient of the “Vegetarian Vision” Award.

Speaking of celebration, food always makes the party better and the Animal Acres Gala-a vegan catered event by Madeleine’s Bistro-was no different.

With menu items such as “Ham” ‘n cheese in filo, Mini mac and Philet-no-fish, you know thing’s had to taste good.

Wayne Pacelle Of Humane Society: Hot, Single, And Animal Loving

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, September 14th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Business.

23rd Annual Genesis Awards - Arrivals

Politico.com has created a list of Washington, D.C.’s most eligible singles and Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States made the cut.

Hot and an animal activist? Meow!

“Any man that can tame “reformed” dog-abuser Michael Vick must be manly, right? As head of the Humane Society of the United States, he has proven to have a huge heart thanks to his work on behalf of animals. That he has Kennedy-esque looks to go along with his animal advocacy makes many purr even more.”

If you’re the stalker type admirer, you can follow Wayne’s blog at hsus.typepad.com/wayne and find out  his whereabouts-which consists of activism all over the country from reaching out to communities to end dogfighting to pushing for legislation on Capitol Hill to hosting fund raising events for the HSUS.

No, we don’t have his number.

You’ll have to get involved in animal rights, attend a HSUS event and ask him yourself.

Heather Mills Blasts Jamie Oliver For Male Calf Castration

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, September 11th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Chefs.

Heather Mills is all smiles while out walking with a friend to a salon in the West Village in NYC

Vegan Heather Mills isn’t showing any love for fellow Brit Jamie Oliver.

The celebrity chef recently castrated a male calf and ate its testicles on his television show Jamie’s American Road Trip.

And Jamie’s show doesn’t involve any reality TV eating challenges, either.

Using the power of the Twitter, Heather wrote:

“I’m horrified watching Jamie Oliver castrate calves and eat their b*****ks, how low can you go, he says they taste like Scampi!”

Director of Animal Aid, Andrew Taylor, agrees with Heather.

“The public is convinced Jamie Oliver is the real deal but hopefully this barbaric act will open their eyes to the fact he is a phony when it comes to animal welfare,” Taylor said. “He pretends he cares about animals but this makes an utter mockery of that. Castrating cattle in this way is vicious and grotesque and he’s giving credibility to an ugly trade. If he thinks this is good prime time TV he has been duped.”

Jamie’s rep defended the chef’s actions by saying the show is meant to show the British public the different aspects of American cuisine and life.

A regular part of American cuisine and life? That’s it! Cow testicles must have been the “mystery meat” in your school lunches growing up.

“Jamie is on his American road trip to observe and to learn and to show the viewing public some parts of America they might not know about. Jamie is well-known for his championing of better welfare for animals and has had awards from many animal welfare groups.”

Guess Jamie thinks his awards are a free get out of animal cruelty jail pass.
