Vegetarian Star

New Yorkers and people from all over the globe will be headed out to their city’s destination for celebrations designed to rev up the fashion industry by encouraging consumers to get out and buy during the annual Fashion’s Night Out on September 10, 2010.

New York city’s Fashion’s Night Out will feature some green events, like it did last year when the Stella McCartney store offered vegetarian food.

Vegan cosmetic creator and model Josie Maran will be at the Sephoria’s Fifth Avenue Boutique giving mini makeovers and meet and greets to visitors.

Mark Ronson is showing his concern for animals by offering to pose in this PETA anti-fur ad that reads, “If you wouldn’t wear you dog, please don’t wear fur.”

Mark is the big brother of Samantha Ronson, the DJ and ex girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan, who was quite upset months ago after two measures were passed in the state of California that allowed farm animals to move around freely but defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

Samantha had written, “i guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me. yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married…”

But big bro has the compassion for animals, and hopefully this will eventually rub off on Sam.

If Mark’s dog Maude doesn’t pull at her heart, what will?

Pamela Anderson, usually one of the best true to their word veg Hollywood stars, occasionally has her flip ups.

Like when she didn’t know KFC, a company she frequently speaks out against, helped sponsor her Girl On the Loose show in Australia.

Or launching a strip club in a steakhouse.

Yes, the vegan Pamela Anderson has joined forces with Audrina Patridge and Samantha Ronson to launch the opening of  Sapphire New York, a Gentleman’s club, which is part of the Prime 333 Steakhouse on the upper East side of New York city.

Other guests on the attendee list include Sopranos cast members Vincent Curatola and Steve Schirripa. 

A strip club steakhouse? Really, Pamela, couldn’t you have found a better venue to attend a launch? How about an all natural juice strip club? Tutti fruity for booty?

Along with serving up blond and brunette meat (just had to say that), the club will feature several fillets and wines.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi threw a big birthday bash for themselves this weekend.

Both ladies’ birthdays are very close together, Ellen turning 51 on January 26 and Portia turning 36 on January 31.

Lots of celebrities were on the invite list, like Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and her husband David Arquette, Drew Barrymore, Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Stiller.

A vegetarian meal was served, of course, and DJ Samantha Ronson, girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan, provided the tunes.

Yes, THE Samantha Ronson, who was upset because Californians voted to approve Proposition 2, a measure to improve the conditions of certain farm animals, but also voted to approve defining marriage as between and man and a woman only.

She had blogged about the results:

“I guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me.”

“Yes, i am glad that the chickens will have more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but i just think it’s frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow’s dinner than for the chef.”

“Yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married…”

Ouch! PETA wrote to Ronson asking for her support for animals just as much as they would continue their support for equal rights for gays and lesbians.

Ellen and Portia are both vegans, have expressed their concerns for animal rights, and were supporters of Prop 2.

Hopefully, if Sam continues to rub elbows with the happy vegan couple, some of that compassion might rub off on her.

Lilo’s main squeeze, Samantha Ronson, like many other gay and lesbians in California, was not too pleased to hear that Proposition 8, which amends the state constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman was passed.

However, another measure, Proposition 2, which allows some farm animals to move around more freely, was passed as well. And that just pisses Ronson off. On her Myspace blog, an entry titled, “2 steps forward…2 steps back,”she wrote:

“i guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me.”

“yes, i am glad that the chickens will have more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but i just think it’s frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow’s dinner than for the chef.”

“yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married…”

In response, Peta has sent Ronson a letter asking her to understand the importance of Prop 2, and asking for her support as they continue to support the fight of discrimination against gays:

“Abusing animals is always wrong, and discriminating against gays is always wrong. We’ll continue to fight against the ban on gay marriage, and we hope that we can have your support in our efforts to eliminate cruelty to animals.”

Granted, you could understand Ronson’s anger. But is it necessary to take things out on Miss Piggy? Treating animals kindly says a lot about a society’s values and voting for Prop 2 doesn’t mean voting against gays and lesbians.

Hopefully, Sam will cool down in a few days and realize that progress in any matter takes time. It was time for Miss Piggy this year. And hopefully, it will come time for every oppressed and discriminated group to receive fair, equal, and compassionate treatment.
