Rihanna has donated money to Wolf Haven, a U.S. based sanctuary for wolves.

The singer has also adopted a wolf in her own name and is reportedly especially concerned with the Mexican wolf, an endangered wolf that inhabits North America.

The exact amount of Rihanna’s gift is unknown, but according to The Mirror, the amount is in the six figures.

Justin Timberlake‘s recent SNL skit transformed him into a block of tofu cheering on quinoa, brown rice and kale.

Dancing the trendy and popular “Harlem Shake,” Timberlake borrows melodies from favorite club tunes like “Freak Out,” and “Ice, Ice Baby” and replaces the lyrics with catchy, vegan ones like “Veg Out,” and “Brown Rice Baby.”

Pop star Rihanna has partnered with Parlux Fragrances to unveil a scent with her name behind the brand, Reb’l Fleur.

According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Parlux signed a statement in 1995 that it would not conduct or pay others to conduct tests on animals. Some animal tests, such as the Draize eye test, which involves smearing a substance in rabbit’s eye, obviously involve pain to the animal. And in some cases, results aren’t predictive of what can happen in human tissue.

Reb’l Fleur comes in Eau de Parfum sprays and body lotion.

Glee may have sustainable eating, veg-friendly actresses like Lea Michele and Jenna Ushkowitz in the cast, but the show could do a little better when it comes to greening the set. At least a recent episode featuring Gwyneth Paltrow as the substitute glee club leader in “The Substitute” could have.

In a behind the scenes clip, Zach Woodlee, co-producer/choreographer of the show estimates they went through 300 umbrellas or so to film a scene putting a modern twist on “Singing In The Rain” by adding some Rihanna lyrics to it. This was because the umbrellas kept breaking during different takes.

For the rest of the season, the cast is ordered to only buy eco-friendly umbrellas, made from things like recycled aluminum and steel, bamboo handles and 100% PET bottles like the Tot eco’Brella.

Then, maybe we’ll stand under their umbrellas, ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh.

More eco-friendly brellas at Treehugger. Watch the entire scene of Glee’s “Singing In The Rain” with their many umbrellas below.

During a signing to promote her book, “Rihanna,” at the Fifth Avenue Barnes and Noble in New York City, a fan of singer Rihanna asked if she would consider going fur-free.

“I will,” Rihanna replied, which can be seen in a video here.

Does she sound serious?

Besides millions of animals being killed for fashion each year, some in the most brutal form like being skinned alive, despite what some advocates of the fur industry may tell you, fur never has and ain’t never goin’ be green!

Most fur comes from animals raised on factory farms, which create wastes that make their way into nearby rivers and streams.

Ammonia, another by-product of animal waste from factory farms, is also released, causing air pollution.

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.

Stella McCartney was one of 11 women named Glamour Woman of the Year this week.

Stella received the award for both her clothing enterprise and her work as a vegetarian and animal activist.

“I’ve never really paused,” she told Glamour. “If I had time to stop and think about what I was doing, I might have run for the hills!”

Glamour cites Stella as refusing to use leather and fur in her designs long before green and ethical became chic.

Other women of the year include Dr. Maya Angelou, Dr. Jane Aronson of Worldwide Orphans Foundation; journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee held captive by North Korea and released; Marissa Mayer of Google; the One Million Signatures Campaign that calls for an end to gender inequality in Iran; comedian Amy Poehler; Susan Rice, the first female African American U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; singer Rihanna; California First Lady Maria Shriver and tennis athlete Serena Williams.

Rihanna Stella McCartney Bag

After seeing what could possibly have been a family of animals on Rihanna for the photo shoot for her new album, our nerves are starting to subside now that RiRi’s been spotting wearing what looks to be a Stella McCartney bag.

According to BagThatStyle.com, Rihanna is wearing a Stella McCartney chain detailed Tote, which can be found at Net-A-Porter.

Yes, there are always knockoffs and some designer could be copying Stella’s style, but we’re thinking a superstar like Rihanna goes for the real deal.

At any rate, you can grab yourself a handbag like Rihanna and Run This Town and any other town without leather!
