Comments Off on Heidi Montag “How To Become Famous”–Fur Real Or Fur Fake
Heidi Montag was soaking up the attention from the cameras as she made her way through LAX airport and showed off her new book co-written with husband Spencer Pratt, How To Become Famous.
There are many ways to become famous, but there’s one certain way to be infamous–wearing real fur!
People will think you’re cruel and heartless, plus your football player boyfriend will definitely dump you.
But Heidi has no worries about her fleeting fame, because she knows the only way to go is faux, right?
Is Heidi notorious for wearing a real fur vest?
Or is she keeping cool by faking it for the animals?

Comments Off on Chris Christie New Jersey Governor Urged To Go Vegan By PETA
People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is chasing the pleasantly plump again, this time switching their target from women to politicians.
Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey, is the latest notable urged to go veg in hopes he will lose a few pounds that were sometimes in as much debate as his policies during the election.
Christie has been urged to go vegan for 30 days.
“The best thing that governor elect Christie can do to help himself, the environment, and animals on factory farms — and the best way for him to serve as an example to all New Jersey residents — is to go vegan, at least for 30 days,” PETA executive vice president Tracy Reiman said.
Going veg can be great for Christie, the animals and the environment, and we’re glad PETA chose to tastefully request the governor reconsider his dietary habits without making him the subject of ridicule.
With so much health related legislation (health care, school nutrition) being revamped, there’s no better time than ever for Christie to show his constituents how serious he is about making the Garden State the fittest in the 50.

Comments Off on Jonathan Safran Foer Huffington Post–Meat Farms Left Him Hangin’
Jonathan Safran Foer "Eating Animals" Interview
Eating Animals author Jonathan Safran Foer was interviewed by Kerry Trueman of the Huffington Post recently.
Jonathan did extensive research before writing Eating Animals, primarily investigating factory farms and the conditions that animals raised for food endure.
As expected, some farms wouldn’t let Jonathan past the front door.
A few excerpts:
KT: Did you have any real expectation that Tyson–the world’s largest processor and marketer of chicken, beef, and pork, as you note in your book–would agree to give you a tour of any of its farms?
JSF: To be honest, I did, because I know that they have “show farms”. All these companies have show farms. I thought I would at least get a response–you know, “Unfortunately, we won’t be able to show you the farms because of biosecurity, but we’d be happy to give you these brochures.”
The thing that really surprised me was the total lack of a response. I didn’t get anywhere with anybody.
KT: And now, of course, after the fact, the industrial livestock industry’s accusing you of not doing your homework, which is really funny, because when they had the opportunity to throw open the doors–
JSF: –Yeah, so let’s do it! Let’s do the homework now, it’s not too late! Seriously, I would be so happy to revise my book if they showed me something else. But they’re not going to show me anything.
You can at least do your homework on Jonathan by reading the entire interview at Huffingtonpost.com.

Comments Off on Bai Ling Katsuya Restaurant–Fur Real Or Fur Fake
Actress Bai Ling smiled for the camera outside Katsuya restaurant in West Hollywood, California while she showed off her new haircut.
Bai’s hair looks great on her, so she has to know that the fur coat she’s wearing would only look great on the original animal owner if it’s the real thing.
Of course anyone looks good in a cruelty-free faux fur coat, whether they’re having a good or bad hair day.
What do you think?
Is Bai fur real?
Or is she (hopefully) faking it?

Comments Off on Cat Stevens Comeback–Hope The “Wild World” Is Still Vegetarian
Cat Stevens is back!
The singer who changed his name to Yusuf Islam and appeared to retire from music performance has announced a new tour after a 33 year break.
The tour will feature an acoustic set of Cat’s favorites, such as “Wild World,” as well as a preview of his new musical.
Cat became vegetarian in the 70s, but after disappearing from public life for so long, it’s not known whether he follows the diet currently.
Some of his thoughts on the transformation that occurred over 30 years ago, which included going meatless.
“I tried to find out where I really wanted to go at certain points in my life: I studied different spiritual paths; I was a vegetarian and I studied meditation. At certain points I tried to get out of the machine but I didn’t really know where I wanted to go. But when I got finally to learn a few things about Islam, to me it was a missing piece of the puzzle. A lot of people overlook it. Perhaps they’re looking at the wrong kind of picture of Islam, but they don’t see what I see, which is an amazing conversion of what I believed as a Christian, what I read in the Bible, and what I understood about Transcendental Meditation. It all came together in a religion which wasn’t really a religion as such, more a spiritual path — so that made a big impact on me.”
A Muslim Vegetarian Society was exists for those wishing to combine their interests and passion for both faith and vegetarianism.

Tony La Russa and his wife Elaine founded the La Russa Animal Rescue Foundation, which provides vet services to abandoned animals.
La Russa, a vegetarian, loves animals so much, his wife joked that he married her to get to the dog.
“When we got married, he wasn’t as hard-core as I was,” Elaine said. “His mother had a fear of them. I often joke he married me because I came with a dog and cat. Now we have hundreds or thousands.”
The ARF began when La Russa picked up a stray cat at a baseball game.
There were no no-kill shelters in the area of Walnut Creek, California, so Tony started his own.
Almost 20 years later, that kitty and almost 20,000 animals that have been adopted have thanked Tony.
Tony uses his celebrity status to garner corporate sponsors and donations to maintain the 37,000 square foot facility.
