Leona Lewis On Fur–She Won’t Go There

Singer Leona Lewis spends a busy day in London promoting her new single 'I Got You'

Leona Lewis says seeing people wear fur makes her stomach churn.

“When I see people wearing fur it makes me so sick. Especially when I see young singers doing it – that sickens me.”

Being such an animal lover, you can imagine how she felt when stylists tried to throw animal attire on her for a photo shoot.

“When I rocked up to my first photo shoot they had feathers and fur there and everything in despise,” she said to Live magazine, according to Angry Ape. “I had to make it so clear that I just do not go there.”

“Skinny Bitch” Rory Freedman On Drinking Milk

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 in Authors, Food & Drink.

Gretchen Ryan's "Little Pretty" Exhibition Opening

Those darn humans!

They’re so slow to catch on.

Like when it comes to consuming milk, for example, every other animal is so ahead of the game.

Says Skinny Bitch co-author Rory Freedman:

“When we have babies, we breastfeed them, and then at a certain point, we stop. It is exactly the same for cows and every other mammal on the planet. They produce milk when they give birth, they feed their young, and then they stop. We are the only species on the planet that drinks the milk of another species. We are the only species on the planet that drinks milk as adults.”

Rory’s got her theories on why humans are getting slower and slower when it comes to mastering the task of removing lips from nipple juice.

“Because the multi-million dollar dairy industry has convinced us that we need milk for healthy bones,” she said, and gave evidence to the contrary.

“Yale researchers found that countries with the highest dairy and meat intakes also suffer the highest osteoporosis rates.”

Launch Party For The New T-Mobile G1

Brendan Benson of The Raconteurs says a vegetarian in his band won’t last very long.

According to Hitfix, when asked what the key to surviving on the road and not killing bandmates was, Benson answered, “I think there’s a combination of things. Humor would be key. If everyone has relatively the same sense of humor, then that helps. And things in common, like food, eating. If there’s one person who’s vegan, say, then that person might be alienated in my band (laughs)… Last night we went to this vegan restaurant because someone said it was great. It was okay, I think some of us would have preferred a steak.”

That’s quite contrast to some other bands, like Death Cab For Cutie, who, although only 2 members are vegetarian, all 4 eat veg on the road to make it easier on the herbivores.

Lea Michele arrives at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards

Glee star Lea Michele has revealed the secret to why she is able to keep up with playing her annoyingly bubbly character Rachel Berry.

“I’m a vegan,” Lea told Ok! magazine. “It makes me feel really good and bright.”

“You need a lot of energy to play spunky Rachel Berry, so I’ve tried a lot of different things — and so far, this is working.”

The vegan diet must be working for her because Lea’s looking fabulous these days.

Makes you wonder why she didn’t get naked for that PETA ad she did awhile back.
