Paulina Rubio At Da Silvano–Fur Real Or Fur Fake

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 5th, 2009 in Female Singers, Fur, Fur Real Or Fur Fake.

Paulina Rubio, sporting a fur vest and leg warmers, trots back to her table at Da Silvano restaurant after saying hello to friends seated nearby

Latin pop diva Paulina Rubio jetted off after having lunch with some friends at Da Silvano restaurant recently.

The Golden Girl and Queen of Latin Pop kept warm and made a fashion statement with this fur vest.

Paulina once made a statement, “I am famous since I was born,” giving reference to the fact her mother, Susana Dosamantes is a well known actress and her father, Enrique Rubio, is an high profile lawyer in Mexico.

Surely, such a beautiful and talented Latina with power would use it to better the world. And an easy way to be progressive and influence your fans is to show them fur is cruel is by wearing a fake.

Take a closer look and decide for yourself.

Did Paulina fake it at De Silvano? Or did she (sadly) wear the real thing?

Meatless Mouthful: AFI Davey Havok Vegan Wish For The World

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 5th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Singers, Meatless Mouthful.

AFI Visits fuse TV's "Distortion"

“I really think for the good of this world that, if I could have it my way, the whole world would be vegan and straightedge. So that’s why I feel it’s important to create an awareness of this lifestyle, create an awareness of the choices people make. To bring awareness about those lifestyles can bring a positive change, if only on the level of an individual.”

“Sesame Street” 40th Anniversary November 10 2009

Cookie Monster "Sesame Street"

Sesame Street

Sesame Street celebrates its 40th anniversary on November 10 2009.

That’s a lot of cookies for Cookie Monster!

Luckily in recent years, the show has taken to advocating healthier living habits, including promoting better food choices.

For example, Cookie Monster had an epiphany that he could get pleasure in other things besides overeating sugary foods. In addition, Cookie changed his song from “C is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me” to “Cookies are a sometimes food.”

No, the ring’s not as catchy, but the political theme will keep the song in history books.

First lady Michelle Obama also took a stroll down Sesame Street, planting vegetables with Elmo and telling children to eat more fruits and vegetables.

And watch out Barack, for someone could steal the heart of his woman. Michelle and Big Bird have similar interests, as they both like seeds.

We’re proud of Big Bird, Cookie Monster and the rest of the Sesame Street neighborhood association for using their influence on children positively.

Now if they would only promote human rights and take Oscar The Grouch from his garbage can and into safe, affordable housing.

After seeing what could possibly have been a family of animals on Rihanna for the photo shoot for her new album, our nerves are starting to subside now that RiRi’s been spotting wearing what looks to be a Stella McCartney bag.

According to BagThatStyle.com, Rihanna is wearing a Stella McCartney chain detailed Tote, which can be found at Net-A-Porter.

Yes, there are always knockoffs and some designer could be copying Stella’s style, but we’re thinking a superstar like Rihanna goes for the real deal.

At any rate, you can grab yourself a handbag like Rihanna and Run This Town and any other town without leather!

Jillian Michaels is quite the multi-promoter.

The Biggest Loser coach was spotted sporting a PETA Fight Breedism t-shirt.

What’s even more cool is that Jillian is standing in front of a Subway restaurant–and highlighting healthier alternatives to fast food.

Jillian is almost veg–saying she consumes some fish here and there.

We’re crossing our fingers she’ll follow the lead of Biggest Loser co-star Bob Harper and go veg completely one day.

Rodale Hosts Launch Party for Al Gore's New Book - Red Carpet

Al Gore has finally come clean about his thoughts on meat consumption and the environment.

“I’m not a vegetarian, but I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat,” Gore told ABC Television from New York.

Gore had been criticized in the past for claiming to be an environmentalist, but not discussing the effects of the meat industry and global warming, especially in his narrated documentary on the environment, An Inconvenient Truth.

“It’s absolutely correct that the growing meat intensity of diets around the world is one of the issues connected to this global crisis – not only because of the CO2 involved, but also because of the water consumed in the process.”

“You could add in the health consequences as well.”

Gore advocated eating more fruits and vegetables, but is not quite ready to go vegetarian or tell anyone else to, for that matter.

“I’ve made those changes, and while I don’t go quite as far as Nick saying everybody should become a vegetarian – partly because it’s difficult enough to get the agreement without adding that on top of it – it is a legitimate point of view.”

Ah, come on, Gore.

Don’t be such a faux wiennie. Just cut the animal out of your dietary equation, okay?

Author Jonathan Safran Foer was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show recently to talk about his latest book, Eating Animals.

Jonathan touched on the fact that most people aren’t aware of the conditions of factory farms.

“Unfortunately this image that we have of a farm has created a distance between our values and our actions,” Jonathan says.

“We continue to believe that the meat on our plate comes from these idealyc places. I wish that it did, but it doesn’t.”

Watch the entire video to feel the veg vibe as the two vegans chit chat.
