Vegetarian Star

Jimmy Fallon buttered up to a PETA volunteer at the White House Correspondents dinner last weekend by giving the lady a hug and whispering, “PETA girls are hot.”

Hot, partially nude females make the animal rights group well known, but does it serve to promote vegetarianism?

Such the question arose when Lea Michele told Popeater she’s not ready to take her clothes off yet and feels she can get the message out that it’s not cool to wear fur without showing cleavage.

In the midst of PR frenzies, let’s hope PETA girls are remembered for the message they send about treating animals kindly as much as they are for their legs.

Although it may be a little late to change the menu, PETA is asking that the White House Correspondents Dinner tomorrow be vegetarian.

In a letter written to executive director Julie Whiston, PETA’s executive vice president Tracy Reiman says, “Asking your members and guests to carpool and drive hybrids is a great start, but the benefits of these measures are largely canceled out by the beef, fish, and dairy products on your menu. As you may know, a 2006 United Nations report called raising animals for food “one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.” A major report by the University of Chicago found that adopting a vegan diet has a greater impact in the fight against climate change than switching to a hybrid car.”

The letter then goes on to describe the conditions animals raised for food endure before and during slaughter.

“Chickens and turkeys have their throats cut while they’re still conscious, piglets have their tails and testicles cut off without being given any painkillers, fish suffocate or are cut open while they’re still alive on the decks of fishing boats, and mother cows have their calves taken away almost immediately after birth so that the milk meant for the calves can be sold.”

The planned menu for the event can be found here.

Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ dinner brought many celebrities to the table, including Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman, and actor Tom Cruise.

Not even the Secret Service can prevent the gossip columnists from getting the dish on what people ate, and it was reported that Cruise ordered the vegetarian entree.

Does this mean Tom of Tomkat is going veg?

If so, we’ll go on Oprah and jump on the couch with him as he exclaims, “I love this diet Oprah. I love this diet so much.”

We would never veg OUT someone like PerezHilton.com does, but our speculations were right on target for Ginnifer Goodwin after it was discovered she had a habit of picking up food from Vegan Glory.

Tom is so vocal, if he does go veg, we’ll all know soon.
