Kellie Pickler Is A Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Faux Fur Girl

42nd Annual CMA Awards - Arrivals

Yes, we’re still talking about New Year’s Eve, but then again, we’re still paying off the credit card bill from Christmas.

If you watched Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, you may have spotted country singer and recently turned vegetarian Kellie Pickler wearing a faux fur coat.

The faux fur coat was confirmed to be from Cincinnati-based Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs, a company that really likes to fake it-from fake fur to fake leather to fake lambskin, every piece of clothing imaginable was created without harming any animal whatsoever!

Some argue that fake fur shouldn’t be worn because others might like the style and buy a real one instead. But if word is gotten out on all the lovely fake furs there are to choose from, perhaps a takeover will happen in fashion where the coats worn by models are as fake as their bosoms.

If you’re going to fur it, faux fur it!

Veg Man Chris Martin Hates Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop: Wonder Why

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 in Actresses, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

It’s no secret we have jumped on Gywneth Paltrow’s turkey eating behind for her website Goop, which has regularly recommended a plethora of meat dishes, even though she has claimed that she and hubby Chris Martin are “pretty much vegetarians” at home.

It seems that husband Chris, frontman for Coldplay, has issues with her site as well. According to Showbiz Spy, the website is causing friction in their marriage.

“He hates any exposure outside of what he considers necessary – his music, charity work and her acting. He thinks Goop’s self-indulgent and hates the speculation that the advice she gives on relationships or family problems may be an insight to their own personal life.”

Granted, the source did say family problems or relationships. However, Chris might be also ticked off that the site is causing other types of speculations. Like maybe, they actually eat turkey in their personal life? Chris has been known to be a vegetarian for some time, (World’s Sexiest, to be exact) before Gwyneth even told everyone about their “pretty much vegetarian” life at home.

The source continues, “Gwyneth doesn’t want to come across as a hypocrite.”

But oh, how she is doing so.

“She knows people will think that advice she’s put on the site is a reflection of what’s happening in her own life, but if she distances herself from those assumptions, people wouldn’t buy into Goop.”

So that’s it! Gywneth really isn’t a turkey burger eating, fish sucking gal at home after all. She’s just pretending to be to attract carnivorous fans.

Celebrity Big Brother contestants

Many of us are pinching pennies in the recession and the contestants of Celebrity Big Brother 6  are no exception.

The group, which includes notables like La Toya Jackson and Verne Troyer, were recently faced with buying groceries on a reduced budget and were arguing over what foods should be put on the shopping list.

Ulrika Jonsson suggested talking La Toya into compromising and eating some tuna and salmon because it’s cheaper.

Troyer protests that La Toya isn’t trying to be difficult in her eating choices, but that she’s vegetarian and they shouldn’t force her to eat meat.

Apparently, she’s been doing it anyway.

Jonsson later told other house mates that “Verne was so quick to stand up for La Toya and make the point that she is a vegetarian, has a strict diet and needs her salmon,” she said.

“But, well, vegetarians aren’t supposed to eat fish in the first place, and La Toya even ate turkey mince yesterday.”

You’d think that La Toya could have the rules bent and bring in her own food in order to stick with her diet.

But as we learned with the Amazing Race, Reality TV ain’t always pretty to those who aren’t omnivores.

Paul McCartney poses for photos during an impromptu photo op in NYC

Paul McCartney was a guest on the Howard Stern show recently. After hearing “Howard Stern,” you know immediately the show was at least a little PG, as evident in the transcript over at the Examiner.

Stern told his vegan sidekick, Robin Quivers, to “show Paul her breasts.” McCartney, being the gentleman he is, immediately protested, to which Quivers responded, “I’ve been rejected by Paul McCartney.”

McCartney is in the U.S. to attend the inauguration next week and Quivers tried to smooth talk her way into coming along by reminding him of their shared interests.

“I’m a vegan, too. Take me to the inauguration. Kids love me.” Paul is only vegetarian, but close enough.

Neither breasts, nor shared diet could win over Paul, but he did share some insight on why he feels it’s okay to eat dairy, such as eggs.

When Stern asked, “Isn’t an egg a chicken abortion?” Paul replied it wasn’t and said “We don’t like to think of it like that.”

Hens abandon their eggs in nature, so that’s why it’s okay and not animal cruelty, he explained.

Time for you vegans to shout out! What do you think about Paul’s rationale? Some say that meat is okay because animals kill each other in nature. Is his argument similar?

Speak now. And if you want to give your opinion on if he should have looked at Robin’s breasts, that’s fine too.

Leona Lewis: Ethical Perfume Will Complement Vegan Shoes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, January 15th, 2009 in Fashion, Female Singers.

Leona Lewis and Keisha Buchanan at Funky Buddha Night Club

Leona Lewis is set to launch her very own perfume, according to Pop Crunch.

The self-titled scent was produced with the Germany company LR, which adhered to Leona’s strict ethical standards.

A source revealed to British newspaper The Sun that, “Leona has had a lot of approaches about launching her own perfume, but she wanted to make totally sure she would be working with an ethical company.”

Leona is a vegetarian who won’t even wear leather or other animal products and is also working to launch her own vegan clothing and hand bag lines. Perfume makers often use animal ingredients as fixatives, which enable fragrances to evaporate slowly and emit odor.

Lewis played a big part in the perfume’s progress-from developing the scent itself to designing the bottle and packaging of the product.

She has already begun the process of promoting her scent, making a video for fans in Germany.

“I love my new fragrance and I already love LR,” she said.

The fragrance is set to launch later this year.

Please excuse our butchering of the beautiful Spanish language, but if it gets your attention to a good cause, it was worth it.

Hottie Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship is cuddling up with one of his favorite bunnies (as good as he looks, he’s gotta be giving Hugh Hefner a run with several) for an anti-fur campaign for PETA.

If you’re wondering where you remember Gabe, it was probably Cobra Starship’s song “Snakes on a plane (Bring It)” for the movie Snakes on a Plane. View the music video for more hottness and refresh your memory.

Back to the cause. Gabe babe is a vegetarian (bonus points) who doesn’t want anyone eating or wearing his little friends, like Thumper, shown here.

If you’d like to own something Gabe and the other band members have touched, enter to win a drumhead used by bandmate Nate Novarro and autographed by everyone in Cobra Starship before January 15th.

You’ll be notified by January 22nd if you’ll have the item laced with all of their lovely DNA.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 2nd, 2009 in Actresses, Female Singers.

1_452139198l1Guys, if there’s anything you need to know about dating, it’s how to respect your chick. Actually, the same advice goes for girls, according to Filipina actress and singer Yasmien Kurdi.

She’s helped PETA Asia Pacific start their New Year off with a bang, appearing in two ads promoting vegetarianism.

“Respect Chicks” and “Try To Relate To Who Is On Your Plate” both feature Yasmien and her co-star, a chicken.

She’s been a longtime supporter of the organization and has worked for them in the past.

“With so many delicious alternatives now available, it’s easier than ever to enjoy great food without causing animal suffering,” Kurdi said.

What a pair of hot chicks they make. As far as we’ve heard, they’re both still single.

Jimmy Fallon Going Back To The Vegetarian Roots

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 26th, 2008 in Bands, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

38th Annual NAACP Image Awards - Show

Actor and comedian Jimmy Fallon will be replacing Late Night host Conan O’Brien next spring on March 2nd, and he’s picked The Roots to be his house band.

Scratch, Rahzel, Black Thought, ?uestlove, Hub, and Malik B. all once recorded a video advocating vegetarianism. The band has been through some changes, Black Thought and ?uestlove are the only great men remaining who appeared in that video and it’s not certain whether other band members are vegetarian, but The Roots has generally been thought of, as a veg band.

Incidentally, Kevin Eubanks, a musician on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show, is also a vegetarian, and was voted the sexiest male vegetarian in 2007.

Break out the hummus and pita chips. Late night TV just keeps getting veggier.
