Vegetarian Star

Pamela Anderson has just signed on to compete in the reality TV show Dancing with the Stars.

A source told Radar Online, “Pam is thrilled and so is the show.”

“She really wanted to do the show and the show thought it was a great idea,” the source added.

Is Pamela looking to imitate vegan Heather Mills, who’s dancing on ice this season on an equally popular UK celebrity reality television show?

It’s almost certain that the vegetarian Pamela will request cruelty-free costumes–no leather, fur or wool.

Fellow competitors should also expect some PETA pamphlets left in their dressing rooms.

Mya went vegetarian to shape up for her Dancing With the Stars role this past season and lost 11 pounds while doing so.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t find the time to plan her meals to get enough protein and ended up going back to meat.

“My new year’s resolution was to be a vegetarian for six months out of this year,” said Mya, according to Us Magazine. “I did three months and stopped and then I’m almost done with my second three months commitment.”

Will Mya make the same promise to herself this year?

Will she go for the home run and do it for 365 days in 2010?

Joanna Krupa for PETA

A little bit of nakedness here and there never hurt anyone and certainly gets your attention for a good cause.

Dancing with the Stars competitor Joanna Krupa strips down to her wings to urge you to always adopt from a shelter.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, out of the 6-8 million dogs and cats who arrive at animal shelters every year, only 3-4 million of those are adopted.

You may not look as great in wings or on the dance floor as Joanna, but if you open your home to the animals in shelters waiting to be adopted, you’ll never be voted off the competition.

Joanna Krupa Playboy December 2009

Joanna Krupa is gracing the cover of Playboy magazine for the December 2009 issue.

The Dancing With The Stars competitor is looking hot and may be able to thank both genes and diet for getting herself on the Hugh Hefner bible.

Joanna follows a diet of what she calls “95% fishatarian” and says she feels great without the meat.

“If I have a strong craving for meat, I have a steak,” she said. “But interestingly enough my craving for meat is decreasing.”

While we’re proud of Joanna for cutting back on meat, but we’re afraid her fishy habits might harm both herself and the planet, as she admits to “indulging” in sushi.

“I indulge in sushi and salads and seafood dishes and – once in a while I allow myself also some French fries or pancakes.”

Joanna is compassionate–she’s already done an anti-fur ad.

Might it be too much to ask Joanna to give us our Holiday wish and go veg completely?

Don’t want her ending up with the Jeremy Piven syndrome.

Singer Mya lost 11 pounds after going vegetarian to slim down for Dancing With The Stars.

She’s one of the four celebrities still left on Dancing, but she’s abandoned the practices that got her so healthy and up to par for the competition.

“I am eating more protein now – I used to be a vegetarian!” she told OK! magazine.

Mya claims she’s craving carbohydrates and proteins–and that her meat-free diet was leaving her hanging.

“So I’m eating lots of chicken and beef. I splurge on carbs like mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, rice and gravy, bagels – the list goes on!”

This may make us not vote for Lady Marmalade.

You want carbs, Mya?

We’ve got your carbs!

Complex ones like whole grain pasta, oatmeal, bagels, and lentils.

And if you’re missing your chicken and beef, Chef Tal Ronnen would love to introduce you to the wonderful world of Gardein faux meats he uses so frequently in his cookbook, The Conscious Cook.

Mya may still dance like a 9, but we’re giving her diet performance a 6 today.

This week’s Dancing With The Stars was supposed to feature a chimpanzee as a guest judge.

However, after some efforts from Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, International Primate Protection League and PETA that included writing to executive producer Conrad Green, Dancing officials decided against airing the segment.

Like Paul Abdul, the chimp judge is out of a job.

But we hear he’ll be okay.

One piece of material sent to Green was a video about Great Apes in showbusiness made by Anjelica Huston.

Anjelica was also quick to speak out after Travis the Chimp died earlier this year when law officials had to kill him as he would not stop attacking and mutilating a friend of his owner.

“I sincerely hope that this tragedy will make people realize that great apes should never be kept as pets or exploited for films, television, or advertising,” Huston said of Travis’ incident. “Their lives are miserable from the day that they are taken from their mothers: They endure abusive training—usually beatings—until they are cast off to roadside zoos or meet a violent end, as Travis did in this tragic case.”

Best of luck to the unemployed chimp judge. We know he’ll find something better than show business.

Gotta admire PETA for their creative ways to display naked people.

Dancing with the Stars Karina Smirnoff is starring is this anti-fur PSA with a strategically placed arm of her dancing partner.

What would Carrie Ann and Bruno say about the style?

“I did wear fur, especially when I was little,” Karina said. “But there are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel.”

“You have a choice as an individual, you have a choice in the press, in the world, whether to make a statement that you do support killing animals or make a statement when you don’t. And you can still be as chic as you can possibly want to be.”
