Comments Off on Gabe Saporta, Amanda Cohen “Heeb” Mag Movers And Shakers
Heeb magazine has announced its annual list of 100 Jewish movers and shakers in the categories of art, music, fashion, film & tv, media, books, activism, comedy, food, and entrepreneurship.
We’re thrilled to report that two movers and shakers, Gabe Saporta and Amanda Cohen, also shake up the vegetarian community.
The front man for Cobra Starship, Saporta has been nominated for PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Contest several years in a row and starred in a PSA against fur.
Says Heeb of Cohen , founder of Dirt Candy, a vegetarian restaurant in New York City:
“Amanda Cohen, once famous for her buffalo wing recipe, found her true calling in vegetarian cuisine as the chef and owner of Dirt Candy, a vegetable-themed restaurant in New York. But don’t think that all she dishes out are sprout salads and tofu; Cohen is known for delicious snacks like jalapeño hush puppies, kimchi donuts and popcorn pudding.”

Comments Off on Sophie Monk “The Hills Run Red” Nude Scene Helped By Veg Diet
Sophie Monk has a new film out, The Hills Run Red, about the daughter of a horror film director.
At some point during the film, Sophie ends up naked and tied to a bed.
While some actresses would make a body double part of the contract, Sophie didn’t mind going natural for the cams at all.
After all, she still tries to stick to a vegetarian diet, according to celebrityhealthfitness.com.
“You’ve just got to make sure you’re in shape,” she said. “Most women would otherwise. I’ve been offered Playboy, but doing a film where it’s not me, I feel like it’s very different. That’s how I look at it.”
The Hills Run Red is available on DVD.
We’re clueless as to what minute in the film Sophie gets naked.
Sorry.

Comments Off on Heather Mills VegNews “Person Of The Year”
Heather Mills has been named “Person of the Year” by the readers of VegNews magazine.
Heather’s been a busy person, giving her time to the animals and the planet through both charitable and profitable actions.
Heather gave 2009 a little momentum when she started working with Hunts Point Alliance charity and donated over a million dollars of vegan food to impoverished families in the Bronx in 2008.
Continuing to work with the charity in 2009, Heather gave vegan cooking demonstration to the same families.
Then, Heather turned restaurateur, buying and renovating an old fish cafe and turning it into a vegan restaurant, V Bites.
Between managing V Bites and working with Hunts Point, Heather found time to participate in local food festivals and teach how easy it is to cook with veg food.
She acquired Redwood WholeFood Company, a maker of vegetarian cold products, including faux meats and cheeses and launched an eco-friendly clothing line made from recycled materials.
And she still finds time to raise a child who’s already started her activism career.
Great year, Heather.
Here’s to an even greater 2010!

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is asking the current property owner of Elvis Presley‘s old Circle G Ranch in Horn Lake, Dennis McLemore, to lease the site to them in order to use it as a Don’t Be Cruel Education Center For Children.
“This would be a good way to let kids know the truth about how cows are suffering before they’re turned into burgers or blue suede shoes,” said PETA spokesman Ashley Byrne.
The property went up for sale a month ago and the asking price is $6.5 million, according to real estate agent Rodger Motz.
In a letter to McLemore, PETA said, “in honor of the King and cows, PETA would like to turn the ranch into a ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ center to educate students about how smart and sensitive the animals we eat really are, and why a vegan diet (no meat, no eggs and no dairy) is kindest for animals, the Earth and even our own arteries. Elvis would have benefited from going vegan, that’s for sure.”
Motz said McLemore is “not interested in leasing it to those people,” referring to PETA.
McLemore currently keeps cattle on the land, but is looking to turn it into resort property or residential development.

Joan Jett
Inked Magazine, headquarters for all your tattooed news and needs, is featuring Joan Jett as part of their Inked For a Cause section.
Joan spills all the details on the social causes that are most important to her, and gives props to her favorite charity, Farm Sanctuary.
“There is a personal tie because I love animals, and feel a connection with them. I became aware of Farm Sanctuary’s work and wanted to help. Farm Sanctuary has 2 farms where they bring the animals they rescue. One is in upstate New York and one is in California. I just went to visit overnight in New York, and it was an incredible experience! I met my namesake, Joan the pig! I really enjoyed meeting all the animals. I highly recommend the experience!”
When asked what particular way she wants to encourage Inked readers to live, Joan responded:
“To become vegetarian, or vegan. I am vegetarian, I have fluctuated between the two, but my goal is to be vegan. It helps the animals and the earth.”
