Vegetarian Star

Elizabeth Hurley has made herself famous for her fantastic statements and gestures of health for people and animals.

As Borat would say, “NOT!”

From her “healthy” organic dinners containing meat, to admitting her love for beef jerky and other processed meats, and revealing too much information about sex on a dead animal by the fireplace, she never seems to impress. Lately, she’s mouthing off on Twitter about how breakfast isn’t necessary for adults, even if the doctors say so.

Winter brings freezing temperatures and a hoard of women rushing to the stores to buy fur to keep warm.

Maybe that’s why PETA chose this time of year to name the Worst Dressed Celebrity, based on that star’s tendency to put on another critter’s hide before leaving home.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Elizabeth Hurley and Rihanna are expected to find themselves on the list of nominees that readers will choose online.

The “loser” will be announced in February by vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney.

Actress Christina Ricci claims those embarrassing titles work.

“I never meant to hurt nor anger anyone with my insensitivity,” said Ricci after being nominated. “For what it is worth, I have received the message loud and clear and will not be wearing fur in the future. I apologise for my offensive actions.”

Wishing everyone on the list best of luck–in changing their attitudes and hearts.

Elizabeth Hurley has never landed on most vegetarians’ favorite celebrity list.

Too many things keeping her from breaking in the top 10, like her organic “healthy” dinners containing meat and the Blackglama fur ads.

Hurley has admitted to liking cured meat like beef jerky. And sex on a sheepskin. Oh, we’re sorry, that was TMI-too much mammal information.

“It’s an excellent thing for anyone on the Atkins diet. I did a movie in South Africa with Ice Cube and it’s all I ate. I was very thin – 121lbs.”

If that’s not enough to make your hurl-ey, try envisioning Liz au naturel on an animal rug.

The actress admits to enjoying sex on sheepskin rugs by her fireplace.

“Next time you go to someone’s house in the country, be sure to check out if they have warm, possibly fluffy, rugs in front of their fire.

“No prizes for guessing why they’re there! I can also shyly confess to having two sheepskin rugs in front of all my fireplaces!”

Let’s just hope dear ol’ Liz doesn’t run out of breath during her, uh, vigorous activity.

Cured meats have been linked to increase chances of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Foxnews.com has compiled a list of celebrities who have proven to be less than green on some occasions. A couple of vegheads made the hall of shame.

Like Woody Harrelson, for example. The actor who swears by the solar panel had an attachment to some clothing worst than Linus and his blanket. He had his favorite vegan shoes and belt flown from his California home to the Cannes Film Festival in France. Yeah, that’s so eco-friendly. NOT.

Then there’s our man Paul McCartney. If you think it’s fuel inefficient to fly shoes and a belt, think about carrying a car through the friendly skies.

“He even bought a hybrid vehicle to cut down on his personal footprint. But the ex-Beatle made just one minor misstep. He had the car specially flown from Japan, creating more emissions with one flight than the car will ever save in its lifetime. Nice try, Paul.”

But at least these guys have offset their eco-sins with a veg diet. The remaining celebrities on the hall of shame can’t take that credit.

Visit Foxnews.com to read about the eco-sins of Celine Dion, John Travolta, Elizabeth Hurley, David Beckham, Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Tom Cruise.

She may be strict when it comes to what goes into the childrens’ bodies, but on the issue of what’s outside, Madonna appears lax.

Madge was named “Worst Dressed” Celebrity of 2009 in a poll where PETA readers voted, based on the amount of animal clothing the celebs wore.

Madonna beat out other fur wearing celebs, such as Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kanye West, and Elizabeth Hurley.

From peta.org:

“When you see Madonna in fur, you realize why nobody has copied her style since 1984. We know that she’s on the prowl for a young cub, but someone needs to tell Madge that wearing fur doesn’t make you a cougar.”

You can see who else topped the list, as well as “vote again” if you don’t agree with the results at peta.org.

Celebrities can be either praised or condemned by groups like PETA for their actions involving animals and the planet. In this case, Liz Hurley is getting the latter of the treatment as she is being criticized for using meat in her upcoming line of pre-packaged meals, advertised as both “healthy” and “low-fat.”

“Animal products, which are typically loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol, are far from being healthy,” said Yvonne Taylor, PETA representative, in a written letter. 

“Won’t you please consider promoting a truly healthy, low-fat vegetarian diet? A vegetarian diet not only reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease and numerous other life-threatening illnesses but is also a far kinder diet for animals who need not have their lives cut short to please our palates.”

PETA is also urging Hurley to spare the life of a piglet that she is rearing on her personal farm.

“Just as you would cringe at shipping Emily (Hurley’s dog) off to slaughter, you should also be reluctant to betray a pig who you have cared for and befriended.”

No word on the type of meal Hurley plans to use the piglet for, but we can’t help but agree with the last statement and think Hurley should keep pets off the plate.
