Rihanna’s been known to walk around in mammal looking wear before, like in the pic above, but is she cruel enough to leave real animals out of her Umbrella of love?
Everyone gets the star studded treatment in this clip-even a carrot!
The camera also catches delicious desserts, fresh produce, and recipes in the making. Looks like one clip captured a bowl with leftover dough or batter.
Time to lick that bowl like there’s no risk of salmonella from eating raw eggs!
Watch the clip to also catch a glimpse of Alicia’s hottie rocker husband, Christopher.
Nellie first became acquainted with the musical legend while participating in an animal rights protest, of all places.
“I was at a protest outside the aquarium in Maryland, and there was a music shop there and I picked up, just because I liked the cover, a CD of hers called It’s Magic, which had a lot of her early work for Warner Bros., and I listened to it all the way on the bus ride home,” Nellie told Vanity Fair.
“Yeah. I really love Baltimore, and it’s so sad that the harbor there is defined by the aquarium. Aquariums—it’s not the wild. They’re a business and they can’t help being a business; anything you’re going to build is not going to be the ocean.”
Nellie was elated to find out the singer she looked up to championed animal rights as well, as Doris founded the Doris Day Animal League.
“You know, I hadn’t known [anything] about her except she always looked happy in her pictures. She was one like Julie Christie or Mary Tyler Moore that I read had become involved in animal-welfare work—it does make you like people more. Becoming politically involved can alienate people but then it can make people dig you all the more. It’s like if you go to a Sean Penn movie and you think, Well, it’s not the greatest movie but I like his politics.”

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful: John Salley Pushes Vegetarian School Lunches
“As a parent, I’m sure we can all agree that fruits and vegetables are an important part of everyone’s diet — especially our children’s. It’s not easy to score points — on the court or in the classroom — when you’re eating a junk food diet packed with fat and cholesterol.”
—-ex NBA star John Salley, in a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., the chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, urging them to make vegetarian lunches a standard on school cafeteria menus.
John is one of several celebrities who have pushed this issue as the Child Nutrition Act, which sets the standards for school lunches, is up for re-authorization this year.
The Big Love star is participating in the program that was designed to end the practice of commercially raised turkeys that are slaughtered in masses annually.
About 45 million turkeys are slaughtered in the U.S. for Thanksgiving each year, according to the Farm Sanctuary website.
“After spending time with the rescued turkeys at Farm Sanctuary’s shelter and seeing how similar they are to my furry companion animals at home, I knew I needed to do everything in my power to protect these friendly and curious birds from the daily pain and suffering they endure on factory farms,” said Goodwin.
“With so many delicious, cruelty-free Thanksgiving dishes available, there is no reason why any living being should be treated like an unfeeling commodity. I encourage everyone to start a new, compassionate Thanksgiving tradition this year and Adopt-A-Turkey, rather than eat one.”
For a one time donation of $25, you can adopt a turkey living at Farm Sanctuary and receive an adoption certificate in your name or donate sponsorships as gifts to families and friends.
“There are certain things you can have different opinions on, but then other things, like torturing animals, [are] just wrong,” Natalie said and added she planned to become more outspoken on animal rights.
During the interview, Natalie was even munching on a soy cheese sandwich.
Ah, there’s no better way to show activism that by edible example.
Natalie’s latest film, Kosher Vegetarian, premieres tomorrow October 16.
Georges Laraque drew criticism from women’s groups after he appeared in an Octane 7.0 energy drink with alcohol ad featuring the Montreal Canadienes vegan star playing hockey with scantily clad women.
What’s worse, the NHL discourages players from openly endorsing alcoholic beverages.
However, Laraque has apologized and vows to work with women’s charities in the future.
Plus, Laraque always donates profits from promos he does to charities, with the Octane 7.0 money going to animal rights.
Scantily clad women and animal rights?
Well, Georges is a PETA supporter, so what did you expect?
Jason Schwartzman considers himself an environmentalist, but insists he’s still in awe of Ted Danson‘s eco magic.
“I have solar panels on my house for my pool and I’m a very adamant recycler. I have a Prius. I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time. But I’m not Ted,” Jason told mnn.com about his Bored To Death co-star.
Jason took lessons from Ted about ocean conservation.
“Every little bit helps,” he added.
Jason should give himself more credit just for following the veg life.
According to a UN report, it takes 8,449 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef versus 60 gallons of water required to produce a pound of potatoes, or 108 or 168 gallons of water needed to produce a pound of wheat or corn.
Jason’s helping to save the planet every time he opens his mouth to take a bite!
