Vegetarian Star

Mike Ness has recorded his PSA for vegetarianism with PETA.

Mike is the front man for the rock band Social Distortion and is making a name for himself in the alterna-country scene.

“The more I got educated about cruelty and inhumane treatment… It was really a no-brainer. No one would barbecue their family dog. How is a cow or a pig different or a chicken different? They’re just as much of a gentle animal as a dog or a cat.”

“I just feel stronger, faster, cleaner, healthier.”

Environmentalists take note: If you eat meat, you’re a hypocrite.

Meat’s not green, says Emily Deschanel in her latest PSA for PETA. The meat industry is responsible for more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined, according to a recent report by the UN on Climate Change.

“There is no such thing as a meat-eating environmentalist. Now-a-days being green is very fashionable — especially in Hollywood,” Emily says. “While I think it is terrific to recycle and drive a hybrid, you can have an even greater impact on the environment by making one simple choice: don’t eat meat.”

“Fight climate change with diet change.”

Whoa! John Salley just called a few players out!

Charles Barkley, Rich Mahorn, and Patrick Ewing to be exact.

These are the guys Salley thinks suffer “excessive meat consumption,” and could stand to go for veggie rehab!

From the Huffington Post:

“Most athletes have no idea how to eat. Most athletes have no idea that they’re suffering — proven fact. When you look at guys with bodies like Charles Barkley, Rich Mahorn, Patrick Ewing — you see how big Patrick Ewing’s gotten? They think when you get older you get fat. That’s not true. Not true. So it has to be that they can’t develop they can’t get rid of the … (pauses) … I went to a couple of these guys and told them I would help them.”

Oh, no he didn’t. But he should be.

On Why He Went Vegan
“I was a vegetarian until I realized that — how can I say — I don’t eat the animal but I eat the things that come out of the animal’s ass; the egg. I mean, people eat the spoiled milk of a cow that a calf won’t even eat. I mean a cow won’t even drink that and I’m feeding it to my kids? That’s crazy. So I decided I wasn’t doing that. I gave that up.”

Jonathan Slavin

Jonathan Slavin plays a nerdy research scientist on the ABC television series Better Off Ted.

You may recall us telling you that one of the best know vegan lesbians, Portia de Rossi, stars on the show as well.

But Portia isn’t the only gay/lesbian on the set of Better Off Ted who leaves cheese off her pizza if the cast and crew are ordering in. Plus, Portia’s forced to make room for him at their home when he has pizza with Ellen.

“Ellen’s been amazingly supportive of the show, so we all got together and watched the premiere there,” Slavin told Advocate.com. “They have a beautiful home that’s first and foremost a home; it feels very comfortable. There was lots of vegan pizzas, and vegan this, vegan that. I never go to a dinner party where I can eat everything on the table, so I was thrilled.”

Slavin, who’s been working as an actor since the early 90s, has played roles in Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Caroline in the City, Wings, and My Name Is Earl.

Visit advocate.com to read what Slavin has to say about Hollywood and his sexuality and how Zac Effron and Jesse McCartney are not cute.

“Those are still little boys to me.”

Pamela Anderson has been running and hitting the pavement at full speed lately.

She recently collaborated with Richie Rich to develop a cruelty-free clothing and shoe line, Muse. She hinted (if even humorously) at a cooking television show where women make vegetarian food in bikinis.

Now, she’s coming out with her own brand of fragrance.

From her blog, Pammie writes:

“Finally a company with a heart—so glad we found each other- a company in Florida looks promising- I have developed a line of natural body fragrances and have more products to come- first fragrance is Raw by pamela…company is called pamela- super enviro-conscious, cruelty free- yummy-natural- very sexy fragrance I wear every day- will be available this summer—department stores, drug stores, affordable choices- I want to sell where I shop— nothing too fancy— Keep the Country COUNTRY!”

How cool it will be to get inexpensive, vegan fragrances at the local drug or grocery store!

But she’s not done yet. There’s also talk of a beauty drink under the same RAW brand, which stands for “Real Activist Wild.”

Go Pamela!

John Norris, MTV news correspondent, likes his candy dirty. The vegetarian restaurant in New York city, Dirt Candy, ran by Moby’s former chef Amanda Cohen, has earned his praises.

The vegan wrote about his love of Dirt Candy recently on newyork.decider.com.

“When Dirt Candy opened on East 9th Street last October, it was initially a “find.” Suffice it to say that much of the city has found it. The place is packed night after night, and for good reason: From jalapeno hush puppies to spinach soup with tofu dumplings, from carrot risotto to crispy tofu with green ragout, the restaurant boasts one of the freshest, most inventive vegetarian menus in town. Amanda Cohen, Dirt Candy’s chef/owner, boasts a résumé that includes such treasures as Angelica Kitchen, Pure Food and Wine, and the late, lamented Heirloom. And not only are all of Amanda’s dishes vegetarian, they can all be made vegan—even better. The only suggestion I would offer Dirt Candy: Triple in size! Then maybe I could get in as often as I’d like.”

Ironically, Cohen and her restaurant were criticized by some vegans when it first opened, due to some statements she made to the media about them and the food.

Looks as if John Norris doesn’t take a bit of offense!

“Everyone thinks I’m nuts because I speak the truth and I’m very outspoken. The meat industry hates me, the dairy industry hates me, the Beatle industry hates me, the landmine industry. So I have a lot of enemies out there. But I also have a lot of support.“

—-Heather Mills, in a speech given at a vegetarian show in London recently. Love her or hate her, Heather has certainly put her footprint in the media. And although she may be viewed as erratic by some, she continues to be a vocal activist for the veg life and animals.

What’s your opinion on Heather? Does she appear too nutty in public with her words and antics? Or is it just her free spiritness and passion for her work that drives her behavior?
