“I’ve been a life-long vegetarian, and sometimes people say, “Aren’t you curious to have a steak?” The answer is that since I’ve literally never looked at meat as potential food, a piece of chicken looks about as mouth-watering as a cardboard box.”

–Instrumentalist and composer Franz Nicolay, to Large Hearted Boy.

BOREHAMWOOD, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 09: Sunshine Martyn enters the Big Brother House on June 9, 2010 in Borehamwood, England. Tonight's show sees the start of the 11th and final series of the Channel 4 reality programme. (Photo by Neil Mockford/Getty Images)

The sole vegan face of Big Brother, Sunshine Martyn, was recently given the boot from the house.

Too bad, as she served as a great lesson in the joys and pitfalls the lifestyle can bring, such as when she broke the stereotype by revealing she hated tofu and found it difficult at first to get the items she wanted to eat.

Of course, her carnivorous housemates discussed how easier it would be to shop for food with her departure, hinting it may have been a reason for her eviction.

Sunshine thought her exit was because she refused to share her stash of vegan items with her hungry house mates.

“Because I didn’t share my crisps until the day after,” she said.

That’s right, Sunshine. They were just hungry and jealous. Mmm…what flavor were those crisps again?

Jenna Dewan Tatum PETA Ad

Jenna Dewan Tatum PETA Ad

Jenna Dewan Tatum, wife of Channing Tatum, looks a little weird and creepy is this faux snakeskin outfit while posing in a PETA ad meant to educate on the use of exotic snake skins in the fashion industry. Likewise, anyone who wears such attire should be aware they look just as ridiculous–unless they’re a serpent.

Jenna described how she felt when she learned how snakes are killed for their skins.

“They actually club them over the head. And they’re not even dead yet and then they start to skin them.” Jenna said “it was so awful” to see the snakes squirming in pain.

An exclusive interview Jenna conducted with PETA can be viewed below.
