Vegetarian Star

Mike Ness has recorded his PSA for vegetarianism with PETA.

Mike is the front man for the rock band Social Distortion and is making a name for himself in the alterna-country scene.

“The more I got educated about cruelty and inhumane treatment… It was really a no-brainer. No one would barbecue their family dog. How is a cow or a pig different or a chicken different? They’re just as much of a gentle animal as a dog or a cat.”

“I just feel stronger, faster, cleaner, healthier.”

Environmentalists take note: If you eat meat, you’re a hypocrite.

Meat’s not green, says Emily Deschanel in her latest PSA for PETA. The meat industry is responsible for more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined, according to a recent report by the UN on Climate Change.

“There is no such thing as a meat-eating environmentalist. Now-a-days being green is very fashionable — especially in Hollywood,” Emily says. “While I think it is terrific to recycle and drive a hybrid, you can have an even greater impact on the environment by making one simple choice: don’t eat meat.”

“Fight climate change with diet change.”

Whoa! John Salley just called a few players out!

Charles Barkley, Rich Mahorn, and Patrick Ewing to be exact.

These are the guys Salley thinks suffer “excessive meat consumption,” and could stand to go for veggie rehab!

From the Huffington Post:

“Most athletes have no idea how to eat. Most athletes have no idea that they’re suffering — proven fact. When you look at guys with bodies like Charles Barkley, Rich Mahorn, Patrick Ewing — you see how big Patrick Ewing’s gotten? They think when you get older you get fat. That’s not true. Not true. So it has to be that they can’t develop they can’t get rid of the … (pauses) … I went to a couple of these guys and told them I would help them.”

Oh, no he didn’t. But he should be.

On Why He Went Vegan
“I was a vegetarian until I realized that — how can I say — I don’t eat the animal but I eat the things that come out of the animal’s ass; the egg. I mean, people eat the spoiled milk of a cow that a calf won’t even eat. I mean a cow won’t even drink that and I’m feeding it to my kids? That’s crazy. So I decided I wasn’t doing that. I gave that up.”

Oh, giggities. We don’t know exactly how to contain ourselves. We love Twitter, tweet regularly, and hope that you follow us.

So it was a pleasant surprise to learn Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, is a vegan!

We tried to bring you the story in less than 140 characters, but you know…that’s kinda difficult. But you can 140 character him @Biz.

In an interview with the New York Times, reporter Maureen Dowd joked that people might not really care what you’re doing (thus, why Tweet about it).

Do you ever think “I don’t care that my friend is having a hamburger?”

BIZ: If I said I was eating a hamburger, Evan would be surprised because I’m a vegan.

Oh, yeah. Go Biz!

Call it the “brownest” celebrity edition. In honor of Earth Day, Foxnews wrote an article on celebrities who’ve had less than green moments and two of our favorite veggie celebs, Woody Harrelson and Paul McCartney were on the list. Woody had clothing flown from California to France and Paul had his car flown from Japan. So between the two eco bad boys, who would you rather do…?

Foxnews.com has compiled a list of celebrities who have proven to be less than green on some occasions. A couple of vegheads made the hall of shame.

Like Woody Harrelson, for example. The actor who swears by the solar panel had an attachment to some clothing worst than Linus and his blanket. He had his favorite vegan shoes and belt flown from his California home to the Cannes Film Festival in France. Yeah, that’s so eco-friendly. NOT.

Then there’s our man Paul McCartney. If you think it’s fuel inefficient to fly shoes and a belt, think about carrying a car through the friendly skies.

“He even bought a hybrid vehicle to cut down on his personal footprint. But the ex-Beatle made just one minor misstep. He had the car specially flown from Japan, creating more emissions with one flight than the car will ever save in its lifetime. Nice try, Paul.”

But at least these guys have offset their eco-sins with a veg diet. The remaining celebrities on the hall of shame can’t take that credit.

Visit Foxnews.com to read about the eco-sins of Celine Dion, John Travolta, Elizabeth Hurley, David Beckham, Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Tom Cruise.

Jonathan Slavin

Jonathan Slavin plays a nerdy research scientist on the ABC television series Better Off Ted.

You may recall us telling you that one of the best know vegan lesbians, Portia de Rossi, stars on the show as well.

But Portia isn’t the only gay/lesbian on the set of Better Off Ted who leaves cheese off her pizza if the cast and crew are ordering in. Plus, Portia’s forced to make room for him at their home when he has pizza with Ellen.

“Ellen’s been amazingly supportive of the show, so we all got together and watched the premiere there,” Slavin told Advocate.com. “They have a beautiful home that’s first and foremost a home; it feels very comfortable. There was lots of vegan pizzas, and vegan this, vegan that. I never go to a dinner party where I can eat everything on the table, so I was thrilled.”

Slavin, who’s been working as an actor since the early 90s, has played roles in Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Caroline in the City, Wings, and My Name Is Earl.

Visit advocate.com to read what Slavin has to say about Hollywood and his sexuality and how Zac Effron and Jesse McCartney are not cute.

“Those are still little boys to me.”

Hugh Jackson needed to get buffed up for his role as Wolverine in the new X-Men movie.

So what did he start eating a zillion times a day? Lots of pasta? Hemp protein powder? Not exactly. That’s why he definitely wants you to know he’s not vegan.

He was recently in Hollywood getting his hands and footprints immortalized in the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, when he told a reporter of his dieting plan.

“Let me tell you, I’m not vegan. I ate so many chickens to make this body. If there is a place in hell for people who eat chickens, I have booked a suite bigger than anybody.”

Say hello to Colonel KFC for us, Hugh.
