Frank Iero Demonstrates His Macbeth Cancer Fighting Shoes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, March 1st, 2009 in Fashion, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Videos.

Not long ago, we told you how Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance and LeATHERMOUTH designed some vegan shoes for MacBeth that included anatomically correct figures and instructions showing men and women how to check for and prevent testicular and breast cancer.

Here’s a video of Frank personally introducing the shoe in which portions of the sales go to the Syrentha Savio Endowment, a non-profit organization that works to fight breast cancer.

Frank shows where and how to cut the shoe to reveal his “artwork.”

There are two versions of the shoe, rated G and PG-13, depending on if you want to “fight” cancer, or use a more color expression, as you can see from the still frame of the video. 

Franks jokes he hopes you like it, but if you don’t, don’t tell him.

We’ll clear the air of any suspicion: We like them!

Natalie Portman Mocks Ben Stiller, Meat Plant At Oscars

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 27th, 2009 in Actresses, Videos.

Besides donning her lovely vegan shoes and ethical jewelry at the Academy Awards recently, vegan Natalie Portman also took a stab at a meat processing plant. 

She and Ben Stiller presented an award together, and Ben decided to imitate the recent makeover, or shall we say unmakeover, of vegan Joaquin Phoenix, sporting a long scruffy beard and matching unkempt hairdo, complete with weirdo behavior.

Portman said, “You look like you work in a Hasidic meth lab.”

Many are speculating Portman was referring to a 2008 federal raid on a Hasidic-owned and operated Agriprocessors meat processing plant in Postville, Iowa.

Authorities discovered several infractions, including equipment for producing methamphetamines.

This is the same plant at which PETA secretly recorded a video on its controversial slaughter practices. 

Other allegations included rabbis insulting workers while throwing meat at them, undocumented and illegal workers, and various health and safety issues.

Richie Rich - Backstage - Fall 09 MBFW

Pamela Anderson will be the guest of honor at Animal Rights Foundation of Florida’s 20th Anniversary Gala on March 14 at the Broward County Convention Center in Miami, Florida.

Hopefully, she’ll be wearing more clothes than this that night.

The event will be hosted by vegetarian and animal lover Bob Barker and guests such as famous vegan Dr. Neal Barnard and Ingrid Newkirk will be able to chow down on delicious vegan grub.

The Animal Rights Foundation of Florida (ARFF) is celebrating 20 years looking out for Florida’s non human critters through education and appearances throughout the community.

Although everybody will come for the food (or in hopes Pamela Anderson will show up half naked), besides that, there will be silent and live auctions for items such as an autographed poster of Kim Basinger’s L.A. Confidential poster.

Tickets are $250 per person and all proceeds from the gala go to the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida.

Anthony Kiedis HBO TV Series Should Show His Vegan Journey

Anthony Keidis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and a friend go for a bike ride in Malibu, Ca

Red Hot Chili Pepper Anthony Kiedis is heading for the big screen.

The story of his life is set to be turned into an HBO TV series, taking place in L.A’s  rock & roll culture in the ’70s. There are hints that the title will be similar to his autobiography Scar Tissue and much of it will focus on his childhood growing up with his father and the path he took to illegal drugs.

“I think it will make for an interesting TV show,” Kiedis told Entertainment Weekly. “I’ve already shed my tears and yelled. The painful part is all behind me. Now it is fun. It is a project I get to do with my father later in his life — when he is ready to reflect.”

But wouldn’t it be fantastic if the movie also hit on Anthony’s vegan diet and lifestyle?

The singer went vegan after watching a video on factory farming. In addition, a doctor recommended his son follow a vegan diet due to health issues he was having.

As legendary as the Red Hot Chili Peppers are and with Kiedis’ popularity, showing segments of his vegan journey could have millions googling the word the week the movie’s released.
