Vegetarian Star

Jennifer Lopez‘s new movie, The Backup Plan, has two incredible eco and animal rights themes included in the story line.

Lopez’s character Zoe, is a single woman who gets artificially inseminated only to discover the man of her dreams in a taxi days later.

Zoe has just left her corporate job to take over a pet shop that sold her a disabled dog that came from a puppy mill.

Her true love Stan, played by Alex O’Loughlin, has turned his family farm into an organic one and sells his cheese products at the farmers market.

An animal welfare champ and a locavore getting together to raise a child?

We can smell a protest coming from the crib already.

According National Geographic, buying from a puppy mill is more likely to result in an animal that will need urgent veterinary care for a genetic disease it’s carrying, amplified by inbreeding. These diseases may not surface until several years into its life.

It’s also common to see chronic infections in these animals, such as in the ears and eyes, that can lead to blindness and deafness.

Emmylou Harris will be performing tomorrow night to benefit the Best Friends Animal Society, an organization that serves to help four legged folks in all sorts of ways, including placing animals that were once considered “unadoptable,” into loving homes.

The 15th Annual Lint Roller Party will combine good music with good food. While enjoying her concert, guests will also be enjoying a gourmet vegetarian dinner.

Emmylou has several dogs and is a true animal lover, running a shelter where she lives in Tennessee. As a vegetarian, she won’t eat them either.

Awhile back, we told you how she wasn’t too fond of someone describing her like bacon-and saying she (as well as bacon) made everything better. Instead, she’d rather you tell her she’s like cheese.

Other bonuses at the event include an open bar, live and silent auction, and the opportunity to meet the cast of DogTown, a new television series on the National Geographic Channel.
