Vegetarian Star

Lauren Bush, who some have called the “green sheep” of the Bush monarchy, recently debuted her eco-friendly fashion line, Lauren Pierce.

The Lauren Pierce line offers dresses, blouses, and shorts made from hemp silk and bamboo, crafted by women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa.

It was Lauren’s decision to name the line after her middle name, which also happens to be her grandmother’s maiden name and her younger brother’s name.  

She insists it only makes her more “incognito,” and in no way meant to downplay her association with the Bush name.

Lauren, who admits she has an eco-sin of loving too many magazines, is the CEO, Creative Director and co-Founder of FEED Projects LLC. She designed FEED t-shirts and bags, whose profits help support the UN World Food Programme in feeding hungry children.

Dennis Miller and Bill O’Reilly recently exchanged some words on PETA. Turns out Miller thinks PETA isn’t all that bad. But he criticizes what he calls their “bedside manners,” or way of going about their activism, even joking that “animals are embarrassed that they front them.”

O’REILLY: All right. Let’s get on to you can’t have the circus anymore. The PETA people say that the circus is brutal to the animals and they’re taking their case to the kids. In Baltimore, PETA activists dressed up, and they’re telling kids that, you know, all kind of mean stuff is happening at the circus. What do you think?

MILLER: I think PETA people are emotional wrecks. I think they have been so horribly disappointed by their fellow human beings that they have to cozy up to a ferret to have a friend. And I think there are even animals out there who are embarrassed that they front them. They ought to lay off the kids, although psychologically and intellectually, that’s who they’re akin to. But the simple fact is kids love the circus. And PETA to get in the middle of that, it’s just, you know, like I said, it’s embarrassing to them.

I feel empathy and I feel loathing for PETA. Because sometimes I look at them and I go, “Wow, they’ve been so cracked up about fellow humans, they’ve got to befriend the pet world.” And then there are other times that I think, “Oh, shut up, you’re going to have a kid one day, for God’s sakes. Let him go to the circus.”

O’REILLY: Well, I feel the same way. I think PETA did some good work in the cruelty to animals stuff. But they’re just way over the line.

MILLER: Bill, they do good — they do good work with the clumsiest bedside manner imaginable.

O’REILLY: Right.

MILLER: They could do better work if they just used their heads.

What’s your opinion on PETA? Do you agree with Miller on their tactics? Or does he need to get educated on the horrors circuses really put animals through?

Awhile back, we told you an ex girlfriend of Heather Mills’ then boyfriend, Jamie Walker, was spilling the vegan pork and beans on her previous relationship with him.

Elsa Maneiro claimed Jamie and Heather would never work out because Jamie loved meat too much.

“I don’t think they will be compatible. Jamie will not become a vegetarian as he loves meat too much,” Maneiro said.

“He always lapped up my chicken or meat dishes. He has a penchant for hot dogs, hamburgers and junk food occasionally as well.”

“He adores fish. I can’t see him giving it up. The food is full of protein which is great for his body-building.”

Hmm…Either Jamie is eating more faux chicken lately or Heather’s tolerating his beefy ways.

Pictured here is Jamie and Heather walking on the day Heather showed the press the site for her new vegan restaurant, currently the old Big Fish Cafe. It looks like they are at least, ahem, keeping in touch.

Heather,a vegan, was pretty strict with Paul McCartney, requesting that he tighten the belt on his already vegetarian ways.

Has Heather let loose? Or has a woman turned Jamie around?

We know not all vegetarians cook for their meat eating buddies, but some, like Kristen Bell do.

Last year Kelly Clarkson roasted bird with her family for Thanksgiving, even though she’s been vegetarian for more than year.  However, she found it so exhausting, she vowed never to do it again.

From her blog:

“so i’ve been in texas since ending the tour. i’ve been hanging with family during the holidays and i made my first turkey with my sister this year ….which is kind of hilarious seeing as how i haven’t eaten meat in over a year, but it was fun to make. and by fun, i mean our turkey was awesome and everything but i’ll never do it again. it was freakin’ exhausting!! i had to wake up at 5 in the morning, the night before we had to brine the dang thing, and oh my lord i’ll never do it again. my sister and i made the ENTIRE meal and i gotta be honest it gave me a whole new respect for housewives because it was just tiring!!”

Someone should whisper to Kelly that a Tofurky takes a lot less time to prepare. Just thaw, unwrap, do a little basting and bake for about an hour and a half. No brining and no wiping up the potential salmonella residue left behind.

And the housewives can rest and watch television all day, making the family think they’ve worked their butts off!

Earlier we learned Alan Donohoe of The Rakes had his butt covered environmentally due to his vegan diet.

However, the latest dirt on Alan reveals something completely contradictory. It seems he’s taken his pants off and exposed his butt on one occasion. But it was all in the name of animal rights.

Alan ran naked in PETA’s Running Of The Nudes, to help bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

Alan’s cute rescue kitty, Fritz, makes an appearance in this clip.

If you keep up with the vegetarian celebrity news like we do, you know some of them have a tendency to flip flop between being veggie and eating meat, cough, cough, Anne Hathaway. So if you were in the business of predicting which celebrities would go veg/go meat/go veg, would you be a good forecaster?

Adam Kochanowicz, a vegan Examiner writer in Omaha, Nebraska thinks he can, and currently he’s got a “vegan pool” going, where he chooses which celebrities will go vegan and which will give it up, embarrassing vegans everywhere.

Jennifer Aniston, Matt Damon, and Barack Obama are all likely to go vegan. But Aniston is one who could potentially embarrass the vegans once she quits.

“Honestly, she seems like the kind of person to go vegan, eat chips and ramen, then quit and publicize how terrible it was,” Kochanowicz said.

A couple of celebrities predicted to give up vegan are Natalie Portman and Oprah Winfrey (ahem, once she goes back to vegan).

Oprah follows a new fad every other week, so although she might take up the diet and lifestyle again, there’s a good chance she’ll hear about something that gives her an excuse to give it up.

We’d have to disagree with Natalie Portman, since she seems like such an ethical vegan, making the decision to go vegetarian at a young age for ethical reasons as well. A Harvard graduate, Natalie is much too intelligent to be swayed that easily. Sorry, Adam. We think you’re wrong on that one!

There’s nothing better than a celebrity chef who snitches.

From former White House chef Walter Scheib giving the dirt on how Chelsea Clinton went vegan to Aaron Ash, the now owner of a raw vegan foods restaurant telling how he gave Mike D of the Beastie Boys what he wanted, we love hearing from those who have spent time in some of the most private areas of a star’s life-their diet.

Eric Ienco has cooked for celebs such as Madonna, Sting’s wife Trudie Styler, Christie Turlington, and ethical fashion designer Stella McCartney.

Apparently, Stella can’t get enough of this guy’s soup.

From Roundtownnews.co.uk:

“She’s a vegetarian, through and through. I think Stella likes plain and simple home-cooked foods. I think her mum must have raised her this way – Linda was a veggie too. Stella isn’t picky but she’s very enthusiastic about my soup! I like her; she’s a good soul.”

Read what other foods celebrities enjoy Eric cooking for them.

This is why you should hide the remote from your children at the end of the month folks.

Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi is shown here in her video ad for Hardee’s Western Bacon Thickburger, which will start airing next week.

Gorging on disgusting amounts of cow and pig (and who knows how many parts from each animal), former vegetarian Padma discusses how she’s “always had a love affair with food,” and her, cough, cough, “fond” memories of sneaking and getting a bacon cheeseburger before dinner in high school, devouring it, and leaving no evidence.

We tried to post this early so you wouldn’t throw up your lunch.

Padma may have swayed from being a vegetarian for her love of real meat, but y’all know there are waaaay too  many fake meats out there for anyone to use that as an excuse to go back to eating animals. You could re-create the Padma nasty burger with a completely meatless one. 

What’s your favorite faux carnivorous product? Tofurky sausages? Lightlife Bacon? Chime in and let everybody know!
