Christian Serratos PETA "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" Ad

Christian Serratos has bared all in a PETA I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur ad in an effort to urge Twilight fans and everybody else to stay as far away from fur as the Cullens stay away from human flesh.

The 19 year old actress told PETA, “I’ve always been opposed to slaughtering, eating, wearing carcass. It’s just always seemed gross to me.”

Not to mention cruel.

According to PETA’s website, “Rabbits, foxes, minks, dogs, cats, chinchillas, and other animals are bludgeoned, strangled, drowned, poisoned, stomped to death, or electrocuted or have their necks broken all in the name of fashion.”

That’s a death worse than one by vampire.

Jonathan Safran Foer "Eating Animals" Interview

A smart aleck by the name of Foster Kamer wrote a post for Gawker.com on some alternative ways to spend you time instead of reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s latest book, Eating Animals.

Here are just a few things Kamer says you can do besides read Jonathan’s book:

6. Eat some tacos. Pork tacos.

7. Eat some bacon (but don’t be obnoxious about it).

8. Eat a bacon cheeseburger.

Number 11 on Kamer’s list is the taker–“STFU” (Shut The (Expletive) Up).

How nice.

Eating meat must hamper your creativity skills because “burger” is way overused on the list. C’mon. Kamer could have at least branched out and said something like, “Build a model White Castle restaurant from old newspaper, then recycle it.”

At least that would have made the part time, greenie vegetarians a little happier.

Seriously, if the only way to respond to an opinion that’s different than yours is with cutesy, junior high school retorts, you had better not use that “humans can eat meat because we’re superior to animals” argument.

The number one thing to do instead of writing a nasty column on why people shouldn’t read Foer’s book?

1. STFU and (tie)
2. Read the book. Then STFU.

The recent episode of Bones that highlighted animal rights issues, The Tough Man In The Tender Chicken, contained both serious discussion and humor.

The story centered around the murder of a farmer set to inherit a factory farm.

During the episode, activities that take place in a poultry plant were shown, including the crowding of the animals and debeaking (ouch) that occurs in newborn chicks.

If you missed the episode, take a look now!

Stella McCartney has been named Harper’s Bazaar Best Dressed Woman of 2009.

Stella was chosen by a panel of fashion experts that included designers Roland Mouret, Christopher Kane and Christian Louboutin, and The Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman and Lucy Yeomans, editor of Harper’s Bazaar.

“Stella articulates the values of her mother Linda, and creates sexy clothes that women want to wear. She dresses for herself and her husband – I really like that,” said Mouret.

Speaking of values, Stella’s make her the best dressed on our list too, as the vegetarian fashion designer not only refuses to wear leather and fur, but keeps these materials out of her fashion collections.

Stella’s most recent creative project is a collaboration with BabyGap and GapKids, Stella’s first clothing line for children.

Fellow vegetarian Alexa Chung came in third place on Harper’s list.

Congratulations to Stella and Alexa!

We’re proud that veggie women came out on top!

Al Gore recently agreed he should have spoken more about the effects of meat eating and the environment.

But that hasn’t stopped PETA Queen Ingrid Newkirk from rubbing in his lack of outspokenness and humiliation during the recent debate where he admitted his faults.

From an article at Huffingtonpost.com titled “Come On Al, Steak or the Earth?”:

“That’s why he has only himself to blame for the blows dealt him this week from the BBC’s Mr. Paxman, ABC’s Ms. Sawyer and other commentators. Yes, he’s the son of a Black Angus rancher. My father climbed mountains and went out in to the ocean in small boats during storms, but I’m not following suit. He protests that eating meat is a “personal choice” and tries to excuse his penchant for a daily steak (sometimes two, we hear from a reliable source) because he finds it “too hard” to “give up” meat? Driving a Hummer for the hell of it is a personal choice, and how hard can it be to go vegetarian when this week’s New York Times list of best-selling hardback advice books shows chef Tal Ronnen’s The Conscious Cook sitting pretty at number three and Alicia Silverstone’s The Kind Diet at number five? Both are vegan — not just vegetarian — cookbooks that I dare anyone to open without drooling. Last week, Chipotle at Dupont Circle in Washington test-marketed a Gardein vegan “chicken” burrito. It sold out almost instantly, and an emergency supply of these delicious little medallions of soy protein had to be dispatched to meet demand.”

No one says it quite like Ingrid!

We got an exclusive tip that Rob Schneider was spotted at vegan restaurant Angelica Kitchen in NYC recently.

Months ago, we learned Rob would love to do a commercial for Hormel vegetarian beans and weenies.

Angelica Kitchen serves vegan food that’s a little more fancy than beans and weenies like Miso Soup, the Tempeh Reuben Sandwich, and Marinated Tofu Sandwich.

If you absolutely can’t do without your beans, there’s also a 3 bean chili.

Now you know you might see Rob there as well.

Thanks to Will for the tip!

Leona Lewis says that because sometimes it’s so hard to find veg food when traveling, she brings her own wherever she goes.

“I take tofu everywhere with me in my suitcase,” Leona said. “We get to these random places in Germany that don’t even know what a vegetarian is.”

Clean pairs of underwear. Check.

Toothbrush and razor. Check.

Silken tofu. Check.

Let’s board this plane.
