Sandra Bernhard recently made a Tweet about the vegan breakfast sandwich she was eating.

“enjoying a light life vegan bacon tomato sandwich for breakfast love my alvarado street california style protein bread you can get it in ny”

Sandra has the bacon, tomato, but did she leave off the lettuce for a complete vegan B.L.T.?

Oh, well, maybe she’s just a B.T. girl instead.

We have to side with Sandra on the veggie bacon, though, regardless of the fixings she chooses. Lightlife not only makes faux bacon from soy protein, they also have a tempeh bacon variety.

Pink Says Go Veg For Simplest Animal Welfare Move

Stella McCartney: Paris Fashion Week Ready-to-Wear A/W 09

Our animal advocate friends down under at Animals Australia Unleashed had the pleasure of speaking with the lovely vegetarian singer Pink.

Pink has been helping animals her entire life, rescuing injured ones when she was a child.

Her biggest contribution to saving animals nowadays is refusing to eat them, and she shares this as a tip for those wanting to be involved with animal welfare.

“Rescuing a shelter animal as opposed to a puppy mill or pet shop. Not wearing fur, becoming a vegetarian, donating time or money to a shelter.”

Sounds simple enough.

Pink admitted she’s pretty vocal about her opinions and is not afraid to tell people wearing fur how disgusting they look.

Hey, we believe it. Remember when she said she’d like to make a fur coat out of Kanye West?

Heather Mills Launches V-Bites Restaurant

Heather Mills has bought the vegetarian food supplier Redwood Wholefood Company.

The UK based company is the leading supplier of veg foods and has ranked high with the Ethical Company Organisation’s list of vegetarian foods suppliers for three years in a row, with a score of 95%.

Redwood produces over 50 different types of vegetarian foods under several brands, including Cheatin’, VegiDeli and Cheezly.

Director Keith Scott said this about Heather’s recent acquisition:

“We are delighted that the business has been acquired by someone with the dynamism and passion of Heather. We’ve been approached by many large food manufacturers in the past but have never wanted to jeopardise the future of our employees – who we value so much – or our factory by selling the business to a large corporation. By selling to Heather we are protecting our loyal staff and also our base in Corby.”

“Heather shares the same values and aims as us, namely to spread compassion across the planet and promote a healthy and more ethical lifestyle,” Rob Garland, an additional director for the company said.

“Heather has always rated Redwood as the best producer of plant-based animal-free foods in terms of ethics, the integrity of the company and brand and the quality of its products.”

Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood Hosts A Live Performance By Melissa Etheridge

“When I got my breast cancer diagnosis [in 2004] and realized that my body was out of balance, I started to look at what it needed to be in balance: good food, whole food. I started looking at the environment around me — and I realized we need similar ingredients to make our earth bodies run. We have neglected what it takes to make the earth run. When I got involved in Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth,” I really began to educate myself.I realized I couldn’t keep walking down the path of, “I can put anything I want into my stomach, and I’m going to live forever.” That’s not going to work, nor will it for the Earth.”

—-Melissa Etheridge, on the realization that both our bodies and our planet need only the healthiest ingredients put into them.

Melissa puts the best in her body by maintaining a vegetarian diet.

Lindsay Lohan is so well known for the forest of critters that lie on her back, she’s even been nominated for the Worst Dressed Celebrity, based on the amount of cruel clothing she wears.

Now, she’s been chastised by vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney for her wardrobe choice.

Apparently, Stella thinks Lindsay’s been photographed in one animal coat too many.

A source says, “Lindsay wears a lot of Stella’s designs and she doesn’t want to be associated with a high-profile star who insists on wearing animal products.”

A spokeswoman for McCartney says, “She never uses fur and encourages everyone to opt for a vegetarian lifestyle.”

If you like the fur look, but not the killing involved, slip into something made by Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs, where every coat is made to look real, but is faker than the bosoms in Hollywood.

Heather Mills leaves This Morning TV Studios after a cooking demo - London

Okay, so you’re out with friends and everybody’s hungry, but you’ve been trying to figure out where to eat for the past 1/2 hour because you can’t agree on one place.

You want Chinese, your sig other wants Italian, your best friends wants Greek…arghhhh!

Heather Mills has recognized this issue and plans to put at least two dishes from various International cuisine types to make groups of people like you and your friends happy.

“And the evening menu will include two Thai dishes, and two Indian dishes, and two Italian dishes, and so on; because you know what it’s like when you want to go out for dinner with your friends, and one of them wants Italian, and one of them wants Thai, and you want Indian … well, that won’t be a problem here, will it?” Heather said, in an interview with the UK Guardian about her new vegan restaurant, V Bites.

Problem solved for where to eat. You can even plan ahead by reading the V Bites menu before you go.

Now, if Heather can resolve the argument of paying separately or paying with one check.

**RESTRICTIONS APPLY** Shakira cheers on Spains Rafael Nadal at the Sony Ericsson Open

Shakira has revealed that she once tried being vegetarian after befriending some chickens she met on a farm.

It worked out for those particular chickens who didn’t get eaten. But not so much for their relatives and future descendants.

“I was living in Spain on a farm, and someone gave me four chickens,” said the Hips Don’t Lie singer.

“I named them and they became very close to me. And then I couldn’t eat them. I was like, ‘OK, if I cannot eat these chickens because they actually have names and they are my friends, I am not going to be able to eat any chicken again.’ So I became a vegetarian.”

“I lasted for one month. I tried, I really tried. Yeah, I gave it a go.”

“I didn’t last as a vegetarian – but I did not eat those chickens. I promise those chickens survived.”

Sounds like Shakira should get as excited about soy chicken as Lisa Loeb does.
