"Tanner Hall" Screening - 2009 Toronto International Film Festival

Amy Ferguson was asked at the Toronto Film Festival what the last favor she asked someone was.

“Three days ago I asked Woody Harrelson to come to the World Peace Yoga Conference,” Ferguson answered, according to InStyle magazine.

Since Woody is one of Hollywood’s prime yoga boys, he must have at least seriously considered.

The World Peace Yoga Conference takes places in Loveland, Ohio in the greater Cinncinati area from October 23 through October 25.

This event is for more than just those who enjoy the pretzel positions.

The conference brings together a love for the environment, food and animal activism.

Delicious vegan food will be served while you have the chance to hear noted vegan authors and speakers discuss foodie topics such as cooking and gardening.

You may also take advantage of the environmental classes to learn how you can help fight global warming and poverty.

David Life, co founder of the popular Jivamukti Yoga School and Cafe said:

“Care enough about the world to become peace-filled in Love-land! The World Peace Yoga Conference is the best idea of the millennium. This is an opportunity for all of us to show that we care enough about world peace to take the first step ourselves. Yoga means “you do it!” You don’t wait for someone else to be compassionate, you do it. You don’t wait for someone else to create peace, you create it- find out how, by attending the World Peace Yoga Conference.”

Registration ends on October 16, so reserve your spot now at worldpeaceyogaconference.com.

Stella McCartney “Gap Kids” “Baby Gap” Clothing November 2009

Written by Vegetarian Star on October 14th, 2009 in Children, Fashion.

Natural Resources Defense Council 11th Annual Forces For Nature Benefit

Stella McCartney is about to launch her collection of children’s clothing this November in the UK, France, Japan, United States and Canada, as a collaboration between Gap Kids and Baby Gap.

As expected, Stella’s collections for the little ones will contain no fur or leather. However, there will be wool.

Stella herself is a mother of three children, but intends to stick with adult fashions as this will be a one time only collection.

When designing the collection, Stella thought of both durability and comfort.

“Perfect little kids are not really very me,” Stella said, at a W magazine photo shoot. “I wanted to have a bit of realness. When you’re talking about this kind of accessibility and children it’s really important that you feel comfortable throwing the lot of it in the washing machine and not being too precious with it.”

“To me, the fabric is so important, especially on a child, as they are so aware when things are scratchy.”

The collection will range from $14-$128 and will feature everything from blankets to sweaters to military jackets for boys and girls.

Larry King Live recently featured a segment that highlighted the dangers of consuming meat.

Bill Marler, attorney for Stephanie Smith, the woman paralyzed from the waist down after eating an e.coli tainted hamburger served on King’s guest panel.

“There are more Stephanies,” Marler said. “Grossly under calculated people who get sick…We’ve really gutted the ability for local and state health departments, CDC, to surveil food borne illness. There are a lot of Stephanies, a lot of Abbeys, a lot of Kevins-they just don’t necessarily get tied to a particular hamburger patty.”

Sad, frightening, and disgusting all in one.

There’s only one surefire way to monitor illness from eating meat-stay away from it! Grab a veggie patty instead.

Watch the clip for the entire segment.

Paris Hilton “Miss Pigelette” Pig Purchase Angers PETA

Written by Vegetarian Star on October 14th, 2009 in Animal Issues.

2009 Fox Reality Channel Really Awards

Paris Hilton has gotten in trouble for her animal hoarding ways before.

Now she’s sparked bad attention again for the recent addition of a baby pig to her home.

During a recent Tweet, Paris said:

“http://twitpic.com/kuuwf – So excited for my new piglette to come home to me. I just picked out the cutest piggy from Patty at Royaldandie.com”

The pig, Paris named Miss Pigelette, is seen below.

According to TMZ, PETA has accused Paris of setting a “wretched example” by treating animals like they’re “as disposable as her friends and fiances.”

Ouch! That’s a little harsh.

We bet Paris has kept her pets longer than most of her boyfriends and fiances.

“The Chihuahuas, ferrets, and kinkajous she’s paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren’t either,” PETA added.

Celebrities at the 6th Annual Hollywood Style Awards in Los Angeles, CA

Pamela Anderson‘s animal friendly fragrance, Malibu, is set to hit the shelves in stores November 2009.

Malibu will be available in CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Sears and Overstock.com and will feature a holiday gift set option with body lotion, shower gel and a purse-friendly mini-bottle.

The 1.7 ounce will cost $39 and the 3.4 ounce spray will cost for $49.

Pamela spoke to the Sun-Sentinel from her home over the phone about the upcoming fragrance.

SS: Is it true that Malibu fragrance is just the start of your own skin care roll-out of products? Are you planning on taking over the beauty field?
PA: “It’s the first of many products – sun care, of course; bubbles, lotions, potions…and emotions…Not the entire beauty field – just the hot ones.”

SS: Describe your Malibu life that the fragrance evokes?
PA: “Beachy, just woke up, get your kids to school look and still get into trouble now and then. Hot for boyfriend.”

SS: You’re such an animal activist. Are you sure your new fragrance wasn’t tested on cute little bunnies or mice?
PA: “Hell no. Not even ugly bunnies or mice.”

The world’s first discovered vegetarian spider, Bagheera kiplingi, who we’ll call B.K., has been making headlines for bypassing the bug deli and heading straight for the leaf salad bar.

“This is really the first spider known to specifically ‘hunt’ plants; it is also the first known to go after plants as a primary food source,” said study researcher Christopher Meehan of Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

But before we get too excited, it should be noted that B.K. “cheats” from time to time.

Although its primary diet is plants, the Central American spider will occasionally eat ant larvae.

Comedy Central Emmy After Party

After speculation and gathering evidence, the answer to Sarah Silverman‘s vegetarian status is finally revealed!

The funny gal thinks eating meat is anything but humorous.

Silverman has revealed in the November 2009 issue of Marie Claire what made her turn vegetarian:

“When I was 9 or 10 years old, my dad took me over to a neighboring farm to help get stuff for the meal. The farmer, Vic, told me to look at all the turkeys and pick one out. I saw a cute one with a silly walk and cried, ‘Him!’ Before my pointing finger had even dropped to my side, Vic had grabbed the turkey by the neck and slit [the animal’s] throat. Blood and feathers went flying. I had sentenced that turkey to death! Up until then, I didn’t know where meat came from—and I’ve been a vegetarian ever since.”

There’s an old saying that behind every good man is a good woman. Sarah’s boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel has given the props to animal welfare and vegetarianism on his show before.

Will we soon see a meatless Jimmy?
