Catherine Zeta Jones stepped into the chilly New York weather arming herself with a long fur coat.
Catherine will be starring in the upcoming Trevor Nunn production of A Little Night Of Music.
A Little Night Of Music is great, but a little fur trim is horrible.
If that’s a real fur Catherine’s wearing, it’s more than a trim, but The Mask of Zorro actress surely knows anyone voted one of the most beautiful people will land on the ugliest list for wearing a hide that’s not hers.
Is Catherine making a bad fashion statement by wearing a cruel real fur coat?
Or is she faking it?

“This isn’t just me, a vegetarian, banging on: it was a United Nations report … that got me interested. There’s a need to do something: the livestock industry produces more greenhouse gases than all forms of transport put together. People are confused about what they can do — they can try one meat-free day a week. It’s kind of interesting once you get into it.”
—-Paul McCartney, addressing a crowd at the European Parliament last week in Brussels, Belgium, promoting his Meat-Free Monday campaign.
Getting into going meat-free may be an occasional treat to start.
But who knows?
After awhile, you may find it so hot, you’ll wanna do the veg thing every day.

Comments Off on Julia Powell “Julie & Julia” On Irritating Jonathan Safran Foer
Julia Child rarely showed any love for vegetarians.
And the author of her life story, Julia Powell, admits she wasn’t keen on eating less meat until she read a book by one irritating vegetarian author named Jonathan Safran Foer.
“Jonathan Safran Foer irritates the shit out of me, but he’s right,” Powell said.
“He and I are really together in that what we’re trying to come to a decision about what we feel like we can eat. There’s got to be some middle ground between the industrial farming system and all the ways that’s broken and the various privileged ways people like me [respond].”
Powell now calls herself a “restaurant vegetarian”–meaning she will only eat meat when she knows where it’s coming from.
Working in a butcher shop allowed Powell to witness the gory details of “gruesomely grinning, fleshy half skulls, eyes still in their sockets” before meat gets to the plate.
“If you make a relationship with the people you’re getting your food from, you’re going to feel so much better, I promise,” said the author of Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen.
Or lose your lunch.
Like Paul McCartney said, “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian.”

Gordon Ramsay has just completed his tour of India, where he filmed his reality TV series Gordon’s Great Escape.
As previously reported, Gordon’s Great Escape features Ramsay cooking and enjoying mostly vegetarian food in Indian culture.
Uh-oh.
The same Gordon Ramsay who joked about electrocuting his children on a fence if they turned vegetarian or dated one?
Yes, the same Gordon Ramsay who stated, “There’s no bigger pain anywhere in the world than a vegetarian.”
Ramsay is reportedly a fan of pescatarian Indian food-seafood curry.
Let’s hope the tour made him a lover of veggie samosas and lentil dhal too.
Gordon’s Great Escape will air on UK’s Channel 4 early next year.

Comments Off on Amar’e Stoudemire “Ink Not Mink” PETA Ad (Photo)
Amar'e Stoudemire
Ladies, you know by now that the PETA naked people ads don’t appeal to you nearly as much to men.
But progress is in the works.
Dennis Rodman showed his buns against fur, Owain Yeoman bared his pecs and now NBA basketball player Amar’e Stoudemire is showing off his chiseled body of tattoos.
“I love animals, and I wouldn’t want to see anything cruel … happen to any animals just for a fashion,” Stoudemire said.
Which is why he’s asking you to get inked instead of buying mink, fox, rabbit and any other animal for a coat.
Sigh…soon women will ask Amar’e for favors as well.

Wow.
Talk about heartless.
Actress Kate Beckinale has been accused of allegedly leaving her puppy dog in the car for hours while she spent her time inside the Byron Tracy Salon.
It was reported that she also left the windows up, left no water for the dog and kept him on a leash.
Hopefully, these stories aren’t true.
There a few harsher punishments you can give Fido than leaving him in a car all day in the heat, or even for a few hours.
Doggies can’t cool themselves off as easily as humans and it’s a disaster waiting happen.
Simon Cowell, who’s been caught making puppy love on more than one occasion, recorded a PSA reminding dog owners to take pups out of the car and into the cool shelter.
Think Kate needs to watch the video a few times?

Comments Off on “Bored To Death” Heather Burns Vegetarian Until Chicken Week
Heather Burns, the actress who plays Leah on HBO‘s Bored To Death, calls herself a “bad vegetarian” because she loves chicken.
“I eat chicken and I would eat chicken constantly,” Burns said.
Whoa, there!
That’s a little more bird talk than any “good vegetarian” can handle.
And Heather had a fairly good vegetarian week when she let Grub Street into her life recently to share all the things she loves to chow down on in New York City.
A few highlights:
Sunday, November 29
“I had coconut water with my red drink, and Bare Naked granola with soy milk. For lunch, I had just some Amy’s Kitchen organic chili mixed with brown rice. And for dinner I had Brick Lane, an Indian restaurant on 6th Street. It’s one of my favorite places on that street. I had the peeli dal. It’s really good and it’s vegan, so I eat that quite a bit.”
Monday, November 30
On Monday, I had a meeting and then I met my boyfriend at Orlin and had a spinach-and-feta-cheese omelette with orange juice and Earl Grey tea with soy milk.

Comments Off on Brigitte Bardot On Idiot Fur Wearing Women
Animal activist and vegetarian Brigitte Bardot has never been hesitant to express her opinions about the fur industry.
And during a recent interview when she was asked what she thought about women who wore fur, Bardot responded, “The women who carry fur these days are idiots. Wild animals are bred in small cages where they go crazy because they cannot lead any kind of natural lives. They are imprisoned in concentrated breeding farms. Minks are gassed, foxes are electrocuted… this complete industry is cruel, barbaric and absolutely useless.”
Point taken.
If you’re the compassionate and intelligent type, you’re obviously anti real fur and would probably love to know what stores and companies sell the real deal.
When making your next fashion decisions, refer to the Humane Society of the United State’s list of fur free designers and retailers.
Abercrombie & Fitch, for example, stated in an email in 2007 that all of its furs were fake.
And Ed Hardy even went so far as to state, “As someone who cares about animals, I am deeply offended by and opposed to the inherent cruelty of animal fur.”
So guess that means Jon Gosselin‘s favorite clothing line is safe.
Take a look at the list, carry it in your pocket when making your business decisions and never worry about Brigitte calling you an idiot.
