Pamela Anderson’s dreamed up cruelty-free fashion line is almost here!

Anderson has teamed up with fashion designer Richie Rich to create a line of environmentally friendly and animal-free shoes and casual clothing that includes hooded tops, skirts, and swimwear as part of a special line of the Muse brand.

If Pamela had it her way, she wouldn’t wear any clothing.  Luckily, she thought of the rest of us who can’t prance around naked at work all day and is making it easier to have an ethical closet.

“I really don’t like to wear clothes,” Pamela said. “I would rather go naked. But I love Richie’s designs, so I agreed to be part of Muse.”

Richie Rich, part of fashion duo Heatherette, said of Pamela, “Pam is an outdoorsy and summer kind of girl who I have been friends with forever. We share the same wild and crazy aesthetic. And she has long been my inspiration. Even though Pam prefers not to wear clothes, she looks great in sexy dresses. She reminds me of Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot.”

Pamela expressed interest in having her own shoe line after learning her favorite pair of boots, Ugg boots, were made of sheepskin.

The new cruelty-free Muse line is set to debut this summer.

Marley & Mills: Heather Mills Poses With Dog At Genesis Awards

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 30th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Models, TV Hosts.

23rd Annual Genesis Awards - Arrivals

The 23rd annual Genesis Awards were held this weekend and vegan Heather Mills was present with a very handsome companion: a golden Labrador retriever, one of the dogs who played Marley in the Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson hit movie, Marley & Me.

The Genesis Awards are held annually to recognize celebrities and notable public figures that have made the biggest bark (had to throw that pun in) for animal rights.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi received the Wyler Awards this year. The couple recently became vegan and were huge Proposition 2 (which allows some farm animals to move around freely) supporters last year.

Chrissie Hynde

“For me it’s about their [the animals] health. If I get any (nutritional) benefits from not killing them, I guess that’s a bonus.”
—-Pretenders’ singer Chrissie Hynde, in an interview, on the health benefits of being a vegan. Chrissie’s reason sounds a lot like the late Isaac Bashevis Singer, who said he went vegetarian for the health of the chickens.

What health benefits did you receive as a bonus for going vegetarian or vegan?

Heather Mills, Jamie Walker The Carnivore Still Going Strong

Heather Mills works on her new vegan restaurant

Awhile back, we told you an ex girlfriend of Heather Mills’ then boyfriend, Jamie Walker, was spilling the vegan pork and beans on her previous relationship with him.

Elsa Maneiro claimed Jamie and Heather would never work out because Jamie loved meat too much.

“I don’t think they will be compatible. Jamie will not become a vegetarian as he loves meat too much,” Maneiro said.

“He always lapped up my chicken or meat dishes. He has a penchant for hot dogs, hamburgers and junk food occasionally as well.”

“He adores fish. I can’t see him giving it up. The food is full of protein which is great for his body-building.”

Hmm…Either Jamie is eating more faux chicken lately or Heather’s tolerating his beefy ways.

Pictured here is Jamie and Heather walking on the day Heather showed the press the site for her new vegan restaurant, currently the old Big Fish Cafe. It looks like they are at least, ahem, keeping in touch.

Heather,a vegan, was pretty strict with Paul McCartney, requesting that he tighten the belt on his already vegetarian ways.

Has Heather let loose? Or has a woman turned Jamie around?

Alan Donohoe Exposes Butt, Says Why He Went Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, March 27th, 2009 in Male Singers, Videos.

Earlier we learned Alan Donohoe of The Rakes had his butt covered environmentally due to his vegan diet.

However, the latest dirt on Alan reveals something completely contradictory. It seems he’s taken his pants off and exposed his butt on one occasion. But it was all in the name of animal rights.

Alan ran naked in PETA’s Running Of The Nudes, to help bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

Alan’s cute rescue kitty, Fritz, makes an appearance in this clip. 

Watch the video to learn why Alan went vegan and visit peta2.org to enter to win a personal ring tone recorded by Alan and a signed copy of The Rakes’ latest CD, Klang!

Jennifer Aniston Goes Vegan: Eats Chips, Quits, And Complains

UK Film Premiere : Marley And Me - Arrivals

If you keep up with the vegetarian celebrity news like we do, you know some of them have a tendency to flip flop between being veggie and eating meat, cough, cough, Anne Hathaway. So if you were in the business of predicting which celebrities would go veg/go meat/go veg, would you be a good forecaster?

Adam Kochanowicz, a vegan Examiner writer in Omaha, Nebraska thinks he can, and currently he’s got a “vegan pool” going, where he chooses which celebrities will go vegan and which will give it up, embarrassing vegans everywhere.

Jennifer Aniston, Matt Damon, and Barack Obama are all likely to go vegan. But Aniston is one who could potentially embarrass the vegans once she quits.

“Honestly, she seems like the kind of person to go vegan, eat chips and ramen, then quit and publicize how terrible it was,” Kochanowicz said.

A couple of celebrities predicted to give up vegan are Natalie Portman and Oprah Winfrey (ahem, once she goes back to vegan).

Oprah follows a new fad every other week, so although she might take up the diet and lifestyle again, there’s a good chance she’ll hear about something that gives her an excuse to give it up.

We’d have to disagree with Natalie Portman, since she seems like such an ethical vegan, making the decision to go vegetarian at a young age for ethical reasons as well. A Harvard graduate, Natalie is much too intelligent to be swayed that easily. Sorry, Adam. We think you’re wrong on that one!

Gossip Girl Dreama Walker, Moby Rub Elbows With Vegan Docs

The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine is a non-profit organization that promotes a veggie diet and lifestyle to prevent and treat diseases like diabetes, as well as advocates the advancement of medical research without the testing on animals.

The group recently held a benefit at Peter and Mary Max’s in New York city, where veg celebrities like Moby, Dan Piraro, and Dreama Walker attended.

Guess that means Dreama kept her vegetarian ways.

If you recall, the Gossip Girl actress embarked on a 30-day vegan diet after watching the Joaquin Phoenix narrated documentary, Earthlings. She had said then she probably would continue, but might see how her body would react to dairy.

With all the vegan food to choose from at the event, Dreama certainly didn’t have to worry about straying from vegan that night, as food from fine restaurants like  Bonobo’s4-Course Vegan and Candle 79 was served.

Vegan Bryan Adams Will Eat Well At Juno Awards Dinner

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 26th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Bryan Adams performs in concert in Ft Lauderdale, Florida

Like, fed to the tune of 100 pounds of mixed greens. Actually, Bryan will probably just have a nice helping of them that fills up a salad bowl or two, but hey, who’s to say he might not be really hungry on the evening of the Juno Awards banquet.

The Juno Awards highlight Canada’s best music performing artists. Besides the actual award ceremony taking place on March 29th, many “Juno” activities will be happening in the host city of Vancouver, including a dinner gala where hundreds of hungry musicians will meet up at Westin Bayshore Hotel for a dinner for the stars.

Celebs such as Sarah McLachlan, Nickelback, and vegan rocker Bryan Adams are expected  to be present. And it looks like Bryan will have a lot to chow down on.

“[In terms of] salad, we’ll probably go through almost 100 pounds of mixed greens,” said Executive Chef Kevin Doucette.

But that doesn’t mean Bryan will be munching like a rabbit for the big night, as they’ll be plenty of veg dishes to choose from.

Melanie Berry, president of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), which organizes the Junos, said, “There’s a fairly good number of vegetarians, too, so we want to sample those dishes because they are just so important.”

Not only that, Chef Doucette is thrilled to cook up meatless entrees. 

“Coming up with vegetarian dishes is more exciting than anything,” he said. “It’s not on the set menu. It has to be fresh. And it changes all the time.”
