Comments Off on Seth Rogen An Organic Cleaner Inventor In “My Mother’s Curse”

Seth Rogen is set to star alongside Barbra Streisand in My Mother’s Curse, a film about a son out to reunite his mother with an old flame.
Rogen is an inventor who’s just created an organic cleaning product he plans to show off to various marketing outlets while taking the road trip with mom.
It’s highly appropriate that the show has a mother/son/eco-friendly theme to it, given the recent reports on a woman’s risk of breast cancer after being routinely exposed to common household cleaning products.
The research conducted at Silent Spring Institute in Newton, Massachusetts found women who often used household cleaning products were 110% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those who used them less often. Those that used air fresheners were 90% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those who used them less often.

Stella McCartney is proving once again she’s an ethical leader in the fashion industry by proposing to design the hats worn by the Queen’s guards, according to The Telegraph. The hats are traditionally made from bearskin, but PETA is set to meet with Peter Luff, minister for defence equipment, support and technology, to discuss a faux alternative they say meets rigorous standards for waterproofing and warmth.
The technology that could make this happen is called Bear28.
“I’ve been working on this with Peta for a few years now and am really happy with the final product, as I hope the MoD will be when they see it,” McCartney said.

Comments Off on Keane’s Richard Hughes Reaches For Stars With Astroburger Veggie Delights

When Keane popped into Los Angeles for the Coachella Festival, the first place the guys stopped at was Astroburger so vegetarian drummer Richard Hughes could satisfy his herbivore needs.
“The tour bus took us straight to Astroburger and I was rather impressed with their veggie burger,” Hughes told the Laist.
Astroburger uses the Gardenburger brand meatless patty as a base for many of their creations, and can also whip out the flame-grilled variety or a bean burger. But that’s just the beginning of dressing up the veggie burger and many other items from the menu under the restaurant’s extensive vegetarian category.

Comments Off on Kellan Lutz Receives Vh1 “Do Something” For The Animals Award For PETA Ad

Kellan Lutz
Eclipse hottie Kellan Lutz received a Vh1 Do Something award during the ceremony that was broadcasted live Monday night. The awards are meant to recognize people committed to social change.
Lutz was honored with the Do Something for the Animals award for his PETA ad encouraging people to adopt versus buy a pet.
Interacting with his canine co-star for the photo shoot probably came quite naturally, as Lutz claims he was a genuine Dr. Doolittle and had great conversation with the animals as a kid.
“I used to think I was Dr. Doolittle, or Kellan Doolittle,” he said. “I used to think I could talk to the animals because … my older brothers would pick on me and I had no friends because we moved around a lot.”
