Comments Off on Paul McCartney: Renaissance Man Who Cooks A Mean Veg Lasagna
Nancy Shevell will have it made if she finally ties the knot with ex Beatles Sir Paul McCartney. A man who can cook makes the best husband, hands down.
McCartney was being interviewed by Entertainment Weekly when it was mentioned he’s such as well rounded man-musician who plays most of the instruments on his albums, poet, children’s book author, and artist who drew the artwork for his album.
“Such a renaissance man,” EW suggested. “Can you bake too?”
“Well, I did make a vegetarian lasagna recently, one Linda used to make. I found it in a book in the kitchen and I thought, can I really do this? But I did and it was quite delicious”
Paul has had many years of practice cooking vegetarian since he and late wife Linda’s Christmas without turkey, where they crafted a macaroni and cheese “turkey” in place of the real thing.
While we’re a little confused as to why Britney would make the circus a theme for her tour, we’re at least glad she’s not using live animals on stage.
Spears caught heat from groups like the Humane Society of The United States not long ago when she used live animals in her music video “Circus.”
If you watch the video below, you’ll see lions and elephants surrounding people. (Again, why the heck bring lions in the studio? Unless, with the economy and all, you’re looking to reduce your staff.)
But thankfully, lions, tigers, or bears won’t be coming to a venue near you along with Britney. In a statement released by Britney’s people:
“We wanted the stage to resemble the design of a three-ring circus where multiple acts can take place simultaneously. While avoiding such traditional circus elements as live animals, we’ve created something innovative and exciting using contortionists, dancers, lighting, fire and other special effects. In the end, we just want fans to experience a unique and thrilling concert with Britney.”
Good job, Britney. Everyone knows you’re still so much a sex kitten, there’s no room for other animals on the stage.
Comments Off on Michael Phelps Pot Incident Sparks Just Say No To Pot Roast
So most of us know by now that Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, who broke a record last year in taking home gold medals was photographed taking a big o’ whiff of marijuana at a party last November.
Anti-drug campaigners have come up with catchy slogans in the past to steer people away from this lifestyle, but People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has found a whole new reason to ask you to “Just Say No To Pot.”
Pot Roast.
“Don’t be a meathead. Kick the habit,” is written next to a cow, with an additional plea to go vegetarian.
“No one knows if marijuana is addictive (although some people swear it is), but eating meat sure seems to be,” the group said on their website. “Witness all the grownups who can’t even contemplate “giving up meat” even when they are fat, impotent, and at risk for a heart attack. And these are the same people who say that they love animals but go right on causing them immense suffering.”
“Maybe Michael will see our billboard and abandon the pot roast too…”
You can bet most ladies would gladly see Phelps take off his clothes in the name of at least an anti-fur ad for the group.
Sarah Palin is not a woman who sits back and takes it, and much to the disappointment of those who wanted her to go away after the Presidential election, she is one that will remain in the public eye for awhile.
He latest outcry is defending Alaska’s Wildlife Management policies and her approval of aerial wolf hunting.
She scolded the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund for their EyeonPalin.org campaign, which is meant to track what they insist is her record of ignoring scientific evidence in her decisions about wildlife and conservation.
“Alaskans depend on wildlife for food and cultural practices which can’t be sustained when predators are allowed to decimate moose and caribou populations,” Palin said in a statement, supporting her decision on aerial wolf hunting.
She referred to the group as being an “extreme fringe” one, and accused it of distorting the facts of Alaska’s Wildlife management program.
“Shame on the Defenders of Wildlife for twisting the truth in an effort to raise funds from innocent and hard-pressed Americans struggling with these rough economic times.”
Defenders of Wildlife has gotten support from vegetarian actress Ashley Judd, who recently filmed a video voicing her concern for Palin’s policies.
Pop music twins Tegan and Sara have a nice pair of a new MacBeth vegan shoes out this month and looks like Sara did a little self-promo via a conversation with Emy Storey, the Art Director for the ladies who played a big role in making the shoes, posted on Myspace.
Cute twins, cruelty free shoes shoes-it doesn’t get any happier than this.
Sara and Emy spend a lot of time joking around-like mentioning that Sara sewed all the shoes herself. And spent thousands of hours on them.
“She grew rubber trees and made the soles,” Emy remarks.
“I know you think you’re so funny,” replies Sara sarcastically.
Sara asks Emy what she specifically used for inspiration to make the shoe and after Emy explains, Sara says that basically she listened to them exactly and that makes her a Tegan and Sara shoe bitch.
Comments Off on Eliza Dushku Eats What She Kills: Can Most People Fault Her?
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Dollhouse” actress Eliza Dushku angered animal rights groups recently when she announced on the “Jimmy Kimball Show” she took an Elk hunting trip to Oklahoma.
“A lot of people eat meat…and I eat what I kill,” she said in defense when the audience reacted negatively.
PETA responded to her in a statement, “Slaying bloodthirsty vampires on Buffy is brave, but slaying innocent animals where they live and raise their families is cowardly and cruel.”
Plus, it’s more environmentally friendly to slay and eat the vampires on Buffy.
Most of us vegetarians would obviously cringe at Miss Vampire Slayer’s actions, but you can probably bet most people in Kimmel’s audience weren’t vegetarian. And even some vegetarians don’t have problems with the theory of only killing what you need to eat in the wild, as long as it’s done quick and humanely. It’s mass factory farming and its destruction of the environment they’ve got a beef (pun intended) with.
No, most of them drive (or hopefully at least walk sometime to reduce their carbon emissions) to the grocery store and pick up meat that originates from an animal that wasn’t allowed to roam freely, pumped with more steroids than a pro bodybuilder, and slaughtered in the most inhumane way possible.
If killing animals for food worked similarly to misdemeanors, Dushku’s actions are Class C while the majority of meat eaters carry Class A on their records. Hunting for your own food and preparing it, in all its natural blood and guts, makes it impossible for someone to detach themselves from the origin of their food, something most meat eaters have long been able to do.
Comments Off on Minnie Mouse Lays A Hormone Free Disney Egg
But is Minnie Mouse cage-free?
Disney has come up with its own brand of eggs. All your favorite cartoons from classic Mickey to Cars characters that will ultimately be indiscernible once crushed against the side of the stove top before frying appear on the eggs that are hormone and anti-biotic free.
Good to know at least Disney is using products from chickens who weren’t on steroids, but it’s not sure whether they’re from cage free animals. Or if the dyes contain any animal derivatives.
Hopefully, they were free-range and went on all the magic carpet rides with Aladdin they desired.
The cute marketing idea that probably comes with an extra price tag Ebeneezer Scrooge wouldn’t be interested in will have children dragging their parents to the dairy section of the grocery store, so let’s hope Minnie’s products are as egg-thical as they possibly can be.
The Golden Globe nominated actress has joined forces with Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund in a web based campaign against Palin and her anti-conservation views.
According to EyeonPalin.org, the website is a “national campaign dedicated to exposing Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s anti-conservation agenda.”
The organization first put Palin on the spot last year during the Presidential campaign season when it highlighted her record supporting the aerial killing of wolves.
“Sarah Palin isn’t fading into the background, so neither are we,” said Defenders Action Fund President Rodger Schlickeisen. “Given her known political aspirations, the American public deserves to know what she’s doing in Alaska, and about her extreme anti-conservation policies. The list is long, and we will document it all, from her continued promotion of the aerial slaughter of wolves and bears, to her lawsuit to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list, even as the sea ice melts beneath it.”
Watch the video below to hear Ashley give her two cents on the matter.
