Pink in concert

Singer Pink recently Tweeted about some really good food she had down under.

While visiting Australia, she stopped by to visit the East Brunswick Club in Melbourne and enjoyed the vegan parma.

“East Brunswick Club: best restaurant/bar/vegan food in the whole entire Melbourne. Hands down no contest. That food was so good I’m angry.”

The vegan parma is one of the most popular, according to the East Brunswick website and menu.

“If you’ve been paying attention you’ll have noticed the excellent vegan and vegetarian samplings that have been popping up on our menu. Our fantastic vegan parma is the talk of the town.”

After you’ve stuff yourself with the original Vegan Parma of “Vegan ‘chicken’ fillet crusted in herbed Japanese panko crumbs, layered with Napoli and melted imported vegan mozzarella,” why not order the Tandoori Tofu Burger, a “Tofu fillet marinated in tandoori and yoghurt sauce, Stacked with lettuce, cucumber, carrot, raita and a pappadum.”

Gotta contact the travel agent now. A one way ticket to East Brunswick, Victoria is all we’re asking for this summer!

Ginnifer Goodwin Speaks At The Humane Society Of The United States Rally

“First let me say that two of my four parents have actually gone vegan, which I think is shocking and out of character for traditional southern parents. But they saw the impact it had on my life and it just sort of happened.”

“For the most part I only talk about veganism when I’m invited to because I believe that it’s such a strong personal choice. I feel like it’s more effective to introduce people to this lifestyle when they can set the pace about what they want to learn. So I wait until people ask me questions.”

Ali & Cody Lohan Announce The Blackberry Brick Breaker Contest

Brooke Hogan is following Tila Tequila’s lead and blogging about the horrors of fur on Globalgrind.com.

Brooke has Russell Simmons to thank for directing her to a video and opening her eyes about fur factory farms.

Now she’s hoping others will see the truth as well.

“Last week Russell Simmons made me cry. Sounds juicy, I know but sorry, there is no real scandal to tell. But there is a story – so here it is. As most of you know Russell is an animal rights activist. He truly cares about animals and tries to spread the animal rights message to everyone.”

“I love animals, I was raised with animals and respect them. I was speechless when I saw this and it affected me deeply. I know that there are much more fashionable and compassionate ways to stay warm in the winter so I’m pleading with you to watch the video below and join me in the fight. Animals feel pain and suffer exactly the same way as you or I do. They weren’t put on this planet so that we could do whatever we wanted to them and not be held accountable.”

“Join me and vow to NEVER buy fur…not even fur gloves or fur on your collars. Fur equals pain and suffering. Period. And for my girls out there, if you watch this video you WILL cry so make sure you have your waterproof mascara on first. Its a killer. Literally.”

Read the rest of Brooke’s blog entry and watch the video that makes her need waterproof mascara at globalgrind.com.

Celebs arrive at the 2009 ESPY awards in Los Angeles

Veg man Samuel L. Jackson recently revealed his secret to staying trim and lean.

The actor who has appeared in films such as Pulp Fiction, Shaft, and Star Wars says he eats a variety of salads, according to celebrity chef Nikki Shaw.

Shaw has graciously posted a salad recipe on MomLogic.com, a Spinach Confetti Veggie Salad.

“Be very careful: “salads” can be deceiving!” Shaw warns. “If you’re choosing to eat salads to keep the pounds off, watch out for those delicious high-calorie dressings and fattening toppings. Lower calorie dressings like vinaigrette, Italian, or good ole olive oil and balsamic vinegar are better choices.”

Whip up a salad that would make Samuel proud with Shaw’s recipe below.

SPINACH CONFETTI & VEGGIE SALAD (Makes 4 servings)

1 6-ounce bag of fresh baby spinach leaves
½ cup tomatoes, diced
½ cup yellow bell pepper, diced
½ cup carrots, diced
½ cup mushrooms, diced
½ cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing

1. Place spinach, tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, carrots, and mushrooms in a large bowl.
2. Drizzle dressing on salad and lightly toss.

Jenna Jameson Says Nothing Happy About McDonald’s Happy Meals

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, August 3rd, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Centers 24th Annual Sports Spectacular

Film star Jenna Jameson has just finished shooting an ad for PETA, slamming McDonald’s for the way it treats and kills chickens.

The 30 second clip will debut sometime in the fall, but here’s a sneak preview of how Jenna educates the public as part of PETA’s McCruelty campaign.

“If you ask chickens, there’s no such thing as a ‘Happy Meal.’ Chickens killed for McNuggets are dumped onto conveyer belts. Their fragile legs are slammed into metal shackles. … Spinning blades meant to cut their throats often tear through their wings or bodies instead. Many birds survive this terrifying, painful process, only to be scalded to death in defeathering tanks. There’s a less cruel method of slaughter that renders chickens unconscious, but McDonald’s chooses to allow birds to be mutilated and scalded instead.”

The actress has worked with the animal rights group in the past, posing for an ad advocating spaying and neutering pets.
