Stella McCartney Bans Fish From Office

Stella McCartney is turning into Morrissey and dictating what her employees can eat on the job.

The web is circulating with stories that Stella bans tuna and other seafood from her offices because she doesn’t want people to think she’s eating animals.

“Sometimes, at lunchtime, I can really smell fish when people are eating, and then I’ll shout, ‘OK guys, enough fish.’ My argument is, if a journalist comes into our office and it stinks of fish, that’s weird.”

If that’s true, is Stella banning all meat from her offices? If not, shouldn’t she be?

Fellow Brit Morrissey prohibits any consumption of animal food while on tour and when an employee asked if fish were okay, he replied, “Sea food is sea life,” and the same rules applied.

Bet more vegs wished they could ban their co-workers from meat, especially when the office microwave starts churning at lunchtime.

Ew. Is that beef stew again?

Meatless Mouthful: Gordon Ramsay Says Vegetarians Biggest Pain

“There’s no bigger pain anywhere in the world than a vegetarian”

Gordon Ramsay, on a recent episode of Hell’s Kitchen where the contestants had to make vegetarian dishes for 80 school children.

Ramsay can’t make up his mind. First, he’d rather electrocute his kids than see them go veg. Then claims his beef (pun intended) was never with vegetarians, just the chefs who didn’t know how to cook for them. At present, vegetarians are pains in the arses. More updates to come.

NBC All-Star Event - Arrivals

If you’ve ever watched The Biggest Loser and wished you could have your very own personal Bob Harper cheering you on your fitness goals, here’s your chance.

Bob and The Grain Council are giving you the opportunity to win a trip to LA to see Bob and have a one on one training session with the nationally recognized fitness instructor.

Bob says everyone should have at least 6 servings of grains a day, with three of those being whole grains.

“One of the main things I tell people is that you’ve got to get your fruits, your vegetables and your grains every day,” Bob told Thatsfit.com. “Every morning I’m going to have my oatmeal; I’m going to have my fruits. For lunch I have brown rice and black beans. I always have Melba toast. Melba toast seems like an old lady thing to eat but I’m getting my servings of grain from that. Then dinner is always going be plenty of vegetables because I’m a vegetarian.”

Be an old lady like Bob and get yourself some grains!

Put whole grains like barley, brown rice, buckwheat, bulgur, millet, oatmeal and popcorn on your next shopping list.

And enter the Grain Council contest from now until October 27.

Premiere Of Sony Pictures' "Zombieland" - Arrivals

It’s no secret now that Woody Harrelson had strict requirements for the set of Zombieland to be eco friendly during filming, including banning plastic water bottles and using biodegradable plates and utensils.

“The first two were fairly reasonable about casting and crew. The third was that we have an environmentally conscious set,” said director Ruben Fleischer.

Woody also wanted Fleischer to go to cheese rehab.

“And the fourth was that I don’t eat dairy for a week.”

No easy feat for Fleischer, the cheeseaholic.

“For me to not eat cheese is like for an alcoholic not to drink. I had a hard time, especially since it was Memorial Day when he asked me and there were all the summer barbecues. But I ended up being a vegetarian for 11 months as a result.”

PETA members will arrive in chickens suits at The Jay Leno Show studios at NBC Studios in Burbank at 3000 W. Alameda Ave. at 2:30 p.m.

Ironically, Jay’s musical sidekick, Kevin Eubanks, is a vegetarian.

Meatless Mouthful: Stella McCartney Calls Fashion “Heartless”

Stella McCartney at 'The Corner' in Berlin, Germany

“I find it astounding, because fashion is supposed to be about change – I mean, we’re supposed to be about cutting edge! I can only think they don’t care as much as people in other industries. So, yes, I think people in fashion are pretty heartless. Why on earth would they use fur and leather otherwise?

“There’s no excuse for fur in this day and age. Baby kids are boiled alive. Foxes are anally electrocuted. If that’s not heartless, what is?”

—-vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney, on the fashion industry’s archaic and cruel use of fur and leather in clothing.

Rock on, Stella. You tell ’em!
