But as Deceiver points out, she’s done some work for PETA (remember the animal adoption ad?) where the ad tagline is, “Buying animals means killing animals.”
Guess Audrina feels if they’re already dead, it’s okay to buy them.
Following in the footsteps of Padma Lakshmi, Audrina is the latest celebrity to partake in burger whoredom in a national franchise, starring in an ad for Carl Jr. $6 Teriyaki burger.
“I had an absolute blast shooting,” said Audrina, according to PEOPLE. “It was my first experience shooting a spot with food, and when I pulled up, I was literally salivating looking at all the rows and rows of perfect burgers waiting for me!”
“I was cracking up because I would take a bite, and almost immediately a food handler with white gloves would have a brand new burger ready.”
Audrina will have a spot in an upcoming movie, Sorority Row, this fall.
Since she put so many cows on death row for this commercial, we suggest all animals run for the Hills before it’s too late.
Comments Off on Jason Mraz Shows Cafe Gratitude: Names Tour After Raw Eatery
Jason Mraz likes it raw. And ever since he opened up about his chocolate avocado dessert, he’s never stopped talking to the media about his raw vegan diet.
So it comes as no surprise that Jason’s named his latest tour after a chain of raw foods restaurants in San Fransisco, California, Cafe Gratitude.
Cafe Gratitude, the tour, kicks off in July in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Cafe Gratitude, the menu, offers elixirs, juices, and smoothies, appetizers like raw nachos, and raw soups, salads, pizzas, and veggie burgers.
Bourdain thinks vegetarians are a pain in the rump, and calls their vegan counterparts, “Hezbollah-like splinter factions,” who are a “persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn.” Sorry to bother you, Anthony.
Gordon Ramsay wants to enforce a strict dietary policy with his children. He once said, “My biggest nightmare would be if the kids ever came up to me and said ‘Dad, I’m a vegetarian.’ Then I would sit them on the fence and electrocute them.”
Yep, Gordon would pull his hairs out at the site of a Boca burger. And if vegans irritate Anthony so much, we might as well have fun annoying him. So between the two veg hatin’ celebrity chefs, who would you rather…
Actor Ted Danson narrates End of the Line, which opened in theaters yesterday.
Ted explains why some of us pescetarians and others who eat fish, should definitely take a look at the movie and examine our dietary choices afterwards.
Overfishing has become such a problem, some scientists estimate that if we continue at the rate we’re going, the oceans will be depleted of fish by 2048.
Be sure to check out this trailer for End of the Line after hearing Ted’s speech.
Comments Off on Alkaline Trio Writes Tribute Song To Vegan Treats’ Danielle Konya
Your mom probably made some good homemade cookies while you were growing up, but did you ever really thank her for it? Like, write her a personal song?
Alkaline Trio is a big fan of Danielle Konya’s Vegan Treat’s Bakery and their drummer, Derek Grant wrote a song expressing his gratitude.
“Vegan treats make me so happy. Eat them any time I feel crappy,” are just a few of the lyrics Derek croons on the song, Vegan Treats. You might want to take a listen yourself and judge if it’s Grammy material.
Danielle has catered not only to Alkaline Trio, but other celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow and AFI.
She gave an interview with altpress.com on the bakery, her famous clientele, and her motivations to be vegan.
What do you think draws musicians to your bakery?
I think maybe because veganism is like a magnet for an alternative lifestyle. I think lots of musicians are eclectic individuals. That’s my take on it. Or maybe, one musician has it and the others go, “We want some!”
How did the jingle from Derek Grant come about?
One of the guys [in Alkaline Trio] called me one night and was like, “We have a present for you.” I was like, “You do?” Then they told me to check my e-mail. They’re just really big supporters and they’re friends. They made a video of them devouring the cakes and stuff. So that’s how the whole thing kind of came about.
What motivated you to become vegan?
I was out to dinner with my family and I saw a lobster. It was a nice restaurant and it had a big, open kitchen; and I saw the lobster in the steamer and it was scratching to get out of the pot. It was the first time I saw an animal suffer tremendously [before it became] a meal. I had ordered some sort of chicken dish, and they set it down in front of me and I was like, “I can’t eat this.” I could never eat meat again
Comments Off on British Celebrities Go Naked To Protest Bluefin Tuna On Nobu Menu
We told you how Alicia Silverstone and several other celebrities had signed a letter addressed to Nobu, telling the restaurants to take endangered bluefin tuna off the menu.
Some British celebrities have gotten in on the act and created this ad to protest the consumption of the fish.
Actresses Greta Scacchi, Emilia Fox and writer Terry Gilliam bare all.
Terry is such a champ, standing there patiently while the fish gets love from Greta and Emilia.
Speaking of fish, what’s going on with this one? It isn’t bluefin. Possibly cod? And either the guy’s a complete plastic fake (but who in Hollywood isn’t) or he’s photoshopped himself in there to make his friends think two hot chicks are macking on him.
The bluefin protest is perfectly timed with the release of End of the Line, which warns that overfishing could lead to the end of seafood by 2048.
Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful: Vegetarians Need Not Be Verbally Abusive!
“I wanted to smack John for talking trash to the other cast members during the challenge. Just because he is a vegetarian doesn’t mean he can call people names that aren’t. Everyone was aware of what they were eating. They did not need him reminding them every ten seconds, and saying how disgusting it is.”

But when you’re looking at your options of cow tongue or bull testicles, it’s hard to keep your opinion to yourself.
