Kate Moss Makes Jamie Hince FUR-ious With Rabbit Blanket

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, August 3rd, 2009 in Fur, Models, Not So Vegetarian.

Kate Moss and boyfriend Jamie Hince out in London

Kate Moss has angered her boyfriend Jamie Hince, by buying a blanket made of rabbit fur.

Hince is reportedly a staunch vegan, and a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Huge conflict has flared up between the pair over what Jamie claims is Kate’s disregard for animal welfare.”

“He is a strict vegan who won’t even touch cow’s milk and is horrified by Kate’s insistence on wearing fur and having it round the home,” the source said of the guitarist in the British rock band The Kills.

This wouldn’t be the first time Kate has disgusted a veggie pal with her choice of furnishings.

Stella McCartney wasn’t too pleased to attend the supermodel’s 35th birthday bash at her home, where Moss has fur rugs and dead animals hanging on the wall.

Heather Mills Has No Time For Long Locks Anymore

Heather Mills stands against cruelty

Heather Mills has been sporting a sleek, short hairstyle for some time and she has recently revealed that not only does it serve the purpose of giving her a new look, but it’s much easier to manage now that she’s swamped with the business of her new vegan cafe, V Bites.

“I decided I had no more time to keep drying my hair with having to work late and get up early for the new V-Bites café and restaurant, factory, travelling, school drops, etcetera, so I chopped it off back to how I had it in my twenties.”

“I asked a local village hairdresser if she would do it, and thought what the hell. She did a great job. I love it. It’s easy. I now just wake up and run my fingers through my hair, as it’s a just-got-out-of-bed look – after a great night in bed, of course!”

Of course, Heather’s new do surely requires less products to maintain it, which means less waste in terms of packaging.

And you thought she couldn’t get any greener with her vegan diet!

Incidentally, if you’re thinking about emulating Heather or just getting a haircut in general, why not donate your locks to Locks of Love, and provide hairpieces to disadvantaged children suffering from medical hair loss.

Mark Bittman Gives Advice For The Flexitarian

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, August 2nd, 2009 in Authors, Flexitarian, Food & Drink.

Spain... On The Road Again Television Series Launch

Hey you flexitarians out there!

Congratulations for the making the choice to improve your health, save animals, and lessen the environmental impact of the livestock industry on planet Earth.

New York Times columnist and food writer Mark Bittman, who’s been advocating a vegan until dinner type approach, has given the UK Times online some tips for those who want to cut the meat from their diet.

“My ‘vegan before 6pm’ approach is just one way of doing it. Indeed, the opposite schedule — eating your heaviest meal of the day for lunch or breakfast — may make more sense to you,” Bittman said. “You can opt out of two servings of meat a week. You can start the day with oatmeal instead of bacon and eggs. My guess is that 70% of my calories now come from non-animal sources. A shift of 50% would be significant for anyone.”

“The basic line is this: no matter how you do it, you [and the planet] will benefit if you eat a higher proportion of plants and a lower proportion of everything else.”

Visit the Times online to read an excerpt from Mark’s book, Food Matters, where Mark recommends taking a B vitamin supplement and gives sample meal plans.

Veggie Russell Brand To Host MTV Music Awards Again

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, August 2nd, 2009 in Actors.

Get him To The Greek Film Set

He must be the face people don’t want to forget because for the second year in a row vegetarian actor Russell Brand has been chosen to host the MTV Music Awards on September 13, 2009 at 9PM EST.

Last year, Russell gained laughs from his many host antics, including poking fun at the Jonas brothers, and he promises to maintain his outrageous reputation.

“This year will be a controversy-free festival of love and discrete orgasms,” Brand said, according to mtv.com.

The Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor is known for his personal bad boy behavior as well as his professional humor.

He was forced to resign from the British Broadcasting Channel after making a series of on air prank phone calls to the home of actor Andrew Sachs and has claimed he slept with as many as 80 women a month.

Michelle Obama Organic Garden Not So Organic After All

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, August 1st, 2009 in Food & Drink, Gardening, Politicians.

First Lady Michelle Obama Holds Food And Nutrition Event In WH Garden

When First Lady Michelle Obama broke ground for her organic garden on the South Lawn of the White House, everyone with an interest in natural, sustainable food choices cheered.

But if it seems too good to be true, it probably is and recent news has revealed the garden of organic Eden is tainted with non-organic sludge.

According to the Daily Finance, the National Park Service tested the soil in the vegetable patch and found “highly elevated levels of lead” due to sewage used as fertilizer.

And just who is to blame for the contaminated fertilizer?

Democrats would like to blame a Republican conspiracy, but the perpetrators were none other than Bill and Hillary Clinton!

When the Clintons inhabited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, their gardening team used sewage sludge for fertilizer.

And since the sewage sludge has seeped into the ground of Michelle’s garden, it cannot truly be certified with organic status.

But local sewage is still better than imported.

NBCs Fall Premiere Party

Bob Harper has been tweeting away his vegetarian recommendations lately.

The personal trainer who serves to get the Blue team in shape on NBC’s The Biggest Loser, has revealed he loves vegan cheese and almond milk.

From @BobHarperAnthem:

“Try choosing a cheese alternative today to replace your regular one. You will be surprised how great some of them taste, my fav, vegan rella.”

“Try using Almond Milk today instead of cow’s milk today. It is a healthy alternative and tastes GREAT!!”

Sweet deal, Bob!

Wouldn’t it be incredibly cool if The Biggest Loser had contestants do veg diets while they were losing weight?

Between Bob’s recommendations for milk and cheese substitutes and Jillian Michaels almost being completely vegetarian except for a few fish here and there, they could really show the world the best body is a veggie body.
