Vegetarian Star

A letter gets your message across, but there’s nothing like face to face interaction.

Several weeks ago, Bob Barker wrote a letter to the Principal Chief of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation, asking for an end to the caged bear pits that serve as a tourist attraction in Cherokee, North Carolina.

On Tuesday, Bob met with Chief Principal Michell Hicks and five other members of the Tribal council, asking that the caged bears be turned over to an animal sanctuary.

The bears exist in walled enclosures rooted in the ground at three local attractions in Cherokee.

“To think that with as advanced as our civilization is now that there is any place in the United States were bears are kept in pits is just unbelievable,” said Barker. “Just picture yourself, if your life, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, month after month, was in a pit.”

Vegetarian Barker is part Cherokee himself and grew up on a reservation in South Dakota.

Talk about betrayal!

Supermodel Christy Turlington used to be a vegetarian, but now she eats meat.

If it isn’t enough to have the gorgeous supermodel turning her back on the veg movement, Turlington has hurled some pretty nasty insults about vegheads.

According to anneofcarsville.com, Christy calls pale vegetarians “veal.”

You could take that as a compliment though, given the fact that baby animals are incredibly cute.

She is currently working towards a Master’s Degree in Public Health at Columbia University.

Maybe Christy should look into writing a thesis on how a vegetarian diet can reduce diseases public health officials would love to combat, like obesity and diabetes.

Instyle.com caught up with several actresses at Comic-Con to ask what they would do if they could be superheros.

Emily Deschanel’s superhero vision isn’t that far fetched, as there are already plenty of ladies putting cabbage around their bodies.

“I’d wear a lot of lettuce and turn everything into vegetarian meals. I could turn everybody into vegans and stop all cruelty in general.”

Sounds like the ultimate superfantasy.

What would you do if you played superhero for a day, week, or forever? Allow endangered species to thrive? Veganize all fast food restaurants? Chit chat with your favorite animal friend?

“New York is a big, gritty city, but it’s also the easiest place in the world to eat well. Within a 10-minute walk of my studio, there are probably 20 vegetarian restaurants. My favorite is still one of the oldest vegetarian restaurants in New York: Angelica Kitchen, on 12th Street. I’ve probably eaten there 2,000 times in my life. I like the fact that it’s been around for so long; it doesn’t take credit cards and there’s still always a line out the door.”

—-Moby, in a letter explaining why the vegan restaurant, Angelica Kitchen, is one of many reasons he loves New York.

Angelica’s has been feeding veggie New Yorkers since 1976, and features both everyday and special menus filled with delish vegan dishes like the Open Face Tempeh Sandwich, miso soup, noodle dishes and much more.

Potentially being able to spy on Moby makes another great reason to stop by.

Polish born supermodel Joanna Krupa doesn’t think too highly of stars that wear fur.

Krupa, who has worked with animal rights organizations in the past, vows she will never date a man who doesn’t wear his own skin and had some pretty nasty things to say about Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in Maxim magazine.

“I think it’s the cheesiest s**t on the planet for a man to wear fur,” Krupa said. “Look at Diddy – he looks like a ‘tard. If you think you look hot in a fur jacket, you have issues.”

You can check out photos of Joanna wearing her true skin at Maxim.com.

Woody Harrelson converted someone to vegetarianism, if only temporary.

During the filming of an upcoming film, Zombieland, Woody convinced director Ruben Fleischer to eat vegetarian during the duration of the shoot.

“The script is fantastic,” Jesse Einsenberg, who plays Columbus, told altpress.com. “Of course the premise is silly-there’s no way to describe it without sounding silly-but the script is great. It’s really wonderful and unique, and the characters are fantastic. Woody Harrelson is in it, and the director agreed to become a vegetarian for the duration of the shoot because Woody Harrelson is vegan.”

And let’s give it up for the environmentally friendly set.

“The set is pretty eco-friendly, actually. We recycle a lot onset, which is good, because movies are a very wasteful industry.”

Zombieland is set to the premise that after America is ravaged by a zombie plague, the few lone survivors run from the living dead, arriving at a theme park they believe to be safe.

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin took a stand for animals during the Humane Society’s Taking Action For Animals rally on Capitol Hill yesterday.

“As long as we keep sharing there will be a mass domino effect. And only good can come of that,” Goodwin said, praising the Humane Society of the United States’ efforts for better animal protection laws.

Ginnifer was one of several celebrities to take part in the HSUS TAFA event.
