Jessica Simpson Marie Claire

Jessica Simpson is the cover girl for the May 2010 issue of Marie Claire magazine and the inside of the publication is filled with more pictures of Jessica totally bare–without makeup, that is.

Jessica is doing so to promote her program, “A Beautiful Me,” something that is designed to make women feel more comfortable with who they are.

Being comfortable in your own skin might be a wise choice for animals as well.

Although plenty of synthetic and non animal derived ingredients exist in the cosmetic world, many companies still use animal products, like pearl essence obtained from fish scales used to make lipstick glossy or dyes derived from insects.

For the times you want to put on your face, the leaping bunny logo is one to look for, as it denotes the product follows standards set by the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals, developed by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics, a coalition of animal protection groups, including the Humane Society of the United States and other animal protection groups in Europe and Canada.

Don’t forget your handy list of animal ingredients and try to stay with certified vegan products.

Months after losing her best four legged Maltipoo friend Daisy, Jessica Simpson is thinking of adopting another animal.

Simpson Tweeted that she’d like to own a pig.

“I’m thinking about getting a pet pig. Does this mean I’ll have to give up pork?”

Sounds like a fairly innocent statement.

Simpson’s love for her new pet might cause her to rethink eating many animals, including pigs.

But PETA isn’t satisfied and issued a statement to US magazine:

“Pigs, who are smarter than dogs and every bit as sensitive to pain and stress, don’t belong in Jessica’s stomach or carted around as her latest.”

Simpson’s pet move could place her in the ranks of another celebrity scorned by the animal rights group for her treatment of animals–Paris Hilton.

The hotel heiress bought “Princess Piglet” last fall.

If Simpson cuts bacon, ham and Spam from her diet, she may discover that meaty taste doesn’t have to involve saturated fat or slaughter.

Some girls are still eating meat, but real girls know when it’s time to at least go flexitarian.

Now that she has grieved over the loss of her beloved Daisy, Jessica Simpson is talking about the excitement of getting a new dog.

Contrary to what her clothing says, real girls don’t eat me, but at least real girls know the importance of adopting versus going to a breeder or kennel.

“Jessica loves dog, but she’s terrified of getting another small dog unless she gets a big dog, too,” her friend explains. “She’s looking at German shepherds or pit bulls and wants a rescue dog,” the Simpson spy tells In Touch.

With an estimated 6-8 million cats and dogs going to shelters every year and only 3-4 million being adopted…the numbers tell a sad story on their own.

Congrats to Jessica for making the right decision.

Rory Freedman, vegan author of the “Skinny Bitch” book series was recently on “Issues” with vegan Jane Velez-Mitchell on HLN where the two were discussing diet and health and tying everything into Jessica Simpson’s publicized weight gain.

Here’s a bit from the show:

VELEZ-MITCHELL: You talk about controversy, Jessica has put herself in the center of controversy over her diet in the past. She appeared in a t-shirt that said real girls eat meat; that provoked a scolding from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals…

Rory, your book is called “Skinny Bitch.” It sold well over a million copies. It`s helped a lot of women lose weight. What advice would you give to Jessica right now?

RORY FREEDMAN, AUTHOR, “SKINNY BITCH“: You know, I have to say, I think Jessica is a beautiful girl. I think she has a gorgeous body, curves or no curves. And I feel sorry for her that she`s having to hear about her body. Nobody wants to be scrutinized.

However, if we are talking about a healthy diet, I don`t think Jessica should be giving any diet advice by saying real girls eat meat. Unfortunately meat is definitely not something you want to be eating if you want to be skinny. It`s got lots of fat, saturated fat, cholesterol. People who are vegetarians have lower incidents of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and these are our nation`s top killers…

If we`re all so hung up on our appearances, we can see by the crisis that we`re having, everybody`s overweight. People care about how they look; it`s not making a difference. So you`ve got to get another motivator to help you lose that weight. And unfortunately, how you look is not going to be enough. You`ve got to care about your health. 

Read the entire transcript for more on what Rory had to say. The segment is towards the end, so you’ll have to do some scrolling. 

Big Thanks for the Tip: Tracie from Lifebeginsat31.com.

The end of the year marks the making of lots of lists-resolutions, top or greatest events or people, and trends to look for in the upcoming year.

Carrie Underwood made PETA’s list for what’s “in” for 2009, and is obviously a stark contrast to her opposite of what is “out”, “Jessica Simpson.

Sure, they may both be beautiful blond babes who sing their hearts out, but as a vegetarian since her teens, Carrie’s got it going on where it counts.

Both have been considered, “sexy,” but Miss Underwood has won the title of Sexiest Vegetarian Alive. Still, waiting for Simpson to be crowned “Sexiest Carnivore.”

Lastly, Carrie definitely makes better judgement in fashion. We suspect Pamela Anderson will never leave Jessica alone for wearing her Real Girls Eat Meat t-shirt.

Congrats to Carrie. Better luck next time Jess.

Read the entire list to see who and what made the cut.

Ahh…He’s so cute…I’m going to get him.

This is almost getting kind of creepy. Celebrities who promote meat had better beware: Pamela Anderson will be on you faster than a vegan cheetah who shuns Cheetos.

We all know by now how she feels about Jessica Simpson’s wardrobe preferences and she even sent her written information on how meat is bad for the environment. Her next stop is Matthew McConaughey’s door-or shall we say his freezer.

The southern boy actor and recent father has become a spokesman for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and has done ads urging people to eat more red meat. Not too good.

“He is so cute, how can he do that?” said Anderson. “I’m going to send him a letter.”

Oops! This time it was Jessica,  not Britney that did it again. It was really just a booboo guys…

We actually have a little bit of sympathy for her. Poor Jessica Simpson has taken a lot of beatings from vegetarians and animal rights groups for making a the serious waldrobe malfunction of wearing a “Real Girls Eat Meat” T-shirt.

She said in an interview that she wasn’t surprised by the actions people took after she wore the shirt and that she really loves vegetables-she just loves meat too.

“I love vegetables but I could not be a vegetarian. I wish I could but I really do like meat. And yeah, I caught a lot from that but I just wore the shirt because I thought it was funny, I didn’t know that it was going to be so offensive to so many people. Oops.”

Pamela Anderson is preaching the vegetarian news Jehovah Witness style. She sent Jessica Simpson, who she called a “b#$ch” and a “wh#$e” for wearing a “Real Girls Eat Meat” t-shirt, a vegetarian starter kit, complete with printed material from PETA.

“I sent her some information and I sent her a letter from PETA saying how the meat industry is horrible for the environment, horrible for your health and sent her some information about it,” said former Baywatch babe. “I don’t know what her intentions were but she definitely wanted to be photographed in that T-shirt and I thought, you know, put a smarter T-shirt on.”

Could Pamela Anderson be showing up at your doorstep with pamphlets and magazines preaching the veggie news? If so, we are curious as to how many men she can convert with her door to door methods.
