John Cleese Meets Colin The Lemur At Bristol Zoo

Some of you were disappointed in our Barbie Orr/Kristine Reinhard posts. We got responses anywhere from “Who cares?” to “Take that crap down!”

But where would a celebrity blog be without posting something off color every now and then? And folks, there is a true vegetarian theme here!

Vegetarian John Cleese broke up with vegan Barbie by leaving a message on her answering machine after she blabbed all their intimate (or shall we say his intimate) details to the media.

A response to which she replied in a text message, “Look, at least it wasn’t a sex tape.”

Everyone went after Barbie (including us) after her true age was revealed to be 45 and not 27. Now Barbie is fighting back and telling people to give it a rest.

“I am a good, caring person, who does work for charity and looks after animals,” she told the UK Mirror. “I do not deserve this!”

You can view pictures of her own animals on her website.

The mob attacked Barbie for several reasons, including faulting her for exposing John’s personal life and lying about her age. However, we’d like to know why she felt she had to lie about her age to begin with.

If you look at her photos, you’ll see she’s quite an attractive woman, who’s lean, radiant, and healthy looking. Personally, we’d love to see Barbie capitalize on this and start talking more about how her vegan lifestyle keeps her looking great at 45. If she really wants publicity, she should pose for the famous organization that only works with women when they’re naked-PETA.

That’s right. Take it off, Barbie! Woohoo…Okay, back to seriousness.

Really Barbie, start talking about the vegan package and all of its health and beauty benefits just as much as you talked about John’s package.

Okay, enough of this. No more Barbie. Unless she decides to talk to us, of course. It’s time to start ragging on Skipper.

Every body’s (well, not every body’s, as she’s losing the Who Would You Poll) veg detective actress spoke with Sprig.com about being green and how to get greener.

Emily Deschanel went to a high school that valued students’ green grades as much as their math and science G.P.A. She also shops at vintage clothing stores and wants solar panels in her home. Her number one green secret is being vegan.

Speaking of vintage clothing, here’s a vintage dress she wore to The Upfronts, a meeting with television executives, the press, and advertisers. She’s looks stunning! Oh, yeah. Who’s bringing vintage back? Em’s bringing vintage back!

Winter Wonderland For The Animals: A Farm Sanctuary Benefit

Whether you like PETA or not, you have to admit they do have their own successful MTV/Vh1 channel thing going with all the celebrity PSAs they have recorded. You could probably do a top 10 countdown of “Best Of” every year if you wanted to.

The latest is done by actress and musician Daniela Sea, who plays the computer tech Moira/Max Sweeney on Showtime’s The L Word. A quote from Daniela in her video:

“The meat industry doesn’t want you to think about all the animals they are torturing and killing. And they definitely don’t want you to think about all the diseases related to eating meat. Their only concern is making a profit. Along time ago I made a decision to quit eating meat and dairy products…”

You can head over to PETA’s site to watch Daniela’s video as well as enter to win an entire season of The L Word on DVD if you leave a comment describing your favorite vegetarian L word: Lunch.

Pamela Anderson To Mumbai: Dogs Can’t Use Condoms, Fix Em!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, January 19th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

Pamela Anderson is known to tell other countries what they should be doing with their sex lives, now she’s at it again, this time writing a letter to India’s financial capital, Mumbai, asking that stray dogs be sterilized rather than killed.

Mumbai’s high court has recommended the dogs be killed, saying they are a nuisance to the public.

Pammie says just put a doggie condom on it. A permanent one.

”Dogs cannot use condoms, but… they can be fixed painlessly, quickly and permanently,” she wrote in a letter to city authorities and cited studies conducted by the Animal Welfare Board of India and the World Health Organisation.

”It is well established that killing stray dogs is not a permanent solution to controlling their populations…mass sterilisation of stray animals is the most viable solution to nuisance and health concerns in addition to being more humane.”

The dogs are practically a city of their own-70,000 strays wandering the streets of Mumbai and some say they are attacking pedestrians and cyclists.

The solution to animal control is never easy and stories such as these are a constant reminder that Bob Barker couldn’t have said it enough when he advised people to spay and neuter their pets.

Baby Cakes, where actress Lake Bell stocked up on all her vegan desserts last Holiday season, has given several vegetarian and vegan celebrities a sweet tooth so big they’re willing to put a few kind words behind the cookbook that’s coming out in April.

After owner Erin McKenna was diagnosed with allergies to wheat and dairy, all she really wanted was a cupcake, but unfortunately, couldn’t find bakeries selling products that complied with her restrictions. So she opened her own.

Now she’s sharing her secret recipes for vegan, gluten-free, and some even sugar free cupcakes in her book BabyCakes: Vegan, Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York’s Most Talked-About Bakery, set to be released in April.

It’s already getting rave reviews and kudos from some great veg celebrities, including Pamela Anderson, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel.

“I have multiple food sensitivities…and I’d pretty much given up on the idea that I might be able to have a worthy treat every again. I was so excited to discover BabyCakes NYC, because not only can I eat everything they bake, it’s all delicious!”
—Zooey Deschanel

“At BabyCakes NYC I can eat what I crave without harming my lovely animal friends–or myself. Every since that first fateful day, I’ve been waiting for this cookbook.”
—Natalie Portman

“Thank all that is holy for BabyCakes NYC…”
—Pamela Anderson

Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi Aimed For Vegan On First Date

35th Annual People's Choice Awards - Audience

It’s been known for a few months now that Ellen DeGeneres has become vegan, but now her wife, Portia de Rossi, is opening up about how turning vegan has changed her life as well.

Neither of them were vegan when they met, but according to Portia, the couple made it a goal to cross animals off their lists after their very first date, according to Contact Music.

“When Ellen and I first got together I was wearing fur and Ellen was wearing very expensive Italian calfskin leather. She was giving me a hard time about wearing the fur and I said, ‘Why is a fox any more important than a cow?’

“We took that idea and went all the way with it. We are doing what we can.”

Last year, the menu at the couple’s wedding reception was completely vegan.

Nothing like a good woman to make a person change their ways. In this case, both members of the happy couple got a nudge from one.
