Pink is a vegetarian, card carrying member of PETA and animal activist and lover in general.
But lately, the singer who’s real name is Alecia Moore, has been having some troubles with animals-either in her sleep or when she’s conscious.
“I dreamt the other night that I smuggled two kangaroos home from Australia and they trashed my house and my dog Bailey was terrified,” Pink said. “Bad idea!”
But dear, why are you taking wild animals into your home anyway? A trashed home could be the least of your worries.
The second incident involved a frog that wanted some face lovin.’
During a recent bike trip with husband Carey Hart, the two stopped on the side of the road to, ahem, “relieve themselves.”
“They were relieving themselves by the road when a frog jumped up and hit Pink bang in the eyes,” a source said. “She freaked.”
Lessons learned: Don’t smuggle animals, especially ones that belong in the wild into your home. And don’t pee on a frog’s property as he’ll want to protect his turf.

The Kind Diet
All this week, we’re hosting a giveaway and three of our lucky readers will receive a free copy of Alicia Silverstone’s new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.
Every day until the end of the contest, we’re bringing you a few of Alicia’s thoughts on The Kind Diet, with a reminder to leave a comment to enter to win.
Today Alicia gives her thoughts on more people adopting vegetarian diets, full or part time.
“When I first started this lifestyle it was still being viewed as something extreme or rebellious. But in recent years I feel as if there’s been a shift. As we’re becoming more and more aware of how our food systems are broken (thanks to some great books and documentaries), the idea that adopting a plant-based diet is something that can make us all healthier (both as individuals and as a planet) has really been gaining traction. So, I feel like this is the perfect time for The Kind Diet. The Kind Diet was written with the understanding that people are coming to this from many diff places (meat-eaters who just want really great skin to vegetarians looking to lose weight–to junk-food junkies looking to save the planet) and we need to offer them varying points of entry. Even little steps in the direction of a plant-based diet can be life-changing. And it’s important that people understand that they needn’t be hard on themselves during the course of this journey–we’re all human and we all “slip-up” but have an inspiring direction to head in is a great start.”
Earlier this week, the couple reportedly dined at Aphrodite Cafe and Organic Delights in the Vancouver area sharing a vegan strawberry-rhubarb pie and spinach salad.

Comments Off on YumSugar Guess That Veg Celebrity “National Vegetarian Month”
In honor of National Vegetarian Month, yumsugar.com has created a Guess That Vegetarian Celebrity game.
“With society’s growing awareness about the social, health, and environmental impacts of going meatless, vegetarianism has been on the rise. Naturally, it can’t hurt that Hollywood has a number of meat-free role models.”
There are 10 questions, and we thought we’d make it easier on you by helping you “cheat.”
For the question asking, “What celebrity described New Orleans as “the most difficult place to be vegan in the world”?
In a recent article on the HuffingtonPost.com, Alicia reveals her favorite style to strike a meditative pose.
“I really like, I think it’s called Anusara. Why I love it is, I feel really safe. It’s really practical. I love my specific teacher, too. You’re focused on strength and growth. The whole time you’re there, they say, “make sure you know about your pinky toe pressing into the ground and pull up.” And they do a whole class on pulling up into your hamstring muscles, and you’re thinking you know what those are, but until you do the class you have no idea what they are. They really get you to learn about every little part of your body.”
Every Anusara class begins with an invocation for “devotional recognition of the grace-bestowing power of universal Spirit within and around.”
Classes also have themes and there are over 250 poses that compile the syllabii of Anusara yoga asanas, covering all the key ansanas within the major classification of poses including standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists, hand-balancings, inversions, and restoratives.
