“I’m really getting tired of materialism. I don’t reckon I’ve got more than two or three years. I’ve burned out drugs. I’m burning out sex. I don’t even know what I’m doing yet. I’m not ready. I’ve got to be in a position where they can’t go, ‘Didn’t he f*** that stripper? Didn’t he go to that lap-dancing club?’
“There can’t be any of that around. That’s all got to go—until I’m in a position where I can say, ‘Look I’m celibate, I’m a vegan. All I do is meditate, come out and do stand-up and make films.’ ”

But all that is supposed to change soon. Let’s not hold our breath, though, for the Vegetarian Starter Kit Cover bad boy.
Comments Off on Stella McCartney Cares: Shops At Whole Foods, Aims For Organic
We all know organic is better for us, especially when it comes to some fruits and vegetables, but sometimes it’s hard to do the org thing because of access or financial issues. Not to worry, even the stars who pledge to be healthy have to compromise every now and then.
“Sometimes it’s just not practical, but I do what I can. I shop at Whole Foods in the U.K.,” said Stella McCartney.
Stella has her own line of organic skin care products, CARE, which are 100% totally organic.
Comments Off on Indian Supreme Court Agrees With Pamela Anderson
Many animal rights activists are cheering now that an Indian Supreme Court has ruled not to kill the stray dogs in Mumbai, a case that received lots of attention in the media due to Pamela Anderson’s interventions.
She wrote a letter to officials asking that instead the dogs be sterilized, citing evidence that this was more effective.
“Dogs cannot use condoms, but with the municipality’s help, they can be ‘fixed’ — painlessly, quickly and permanently,” she said.
India’s Supreme Court ruled that a dog could only be put down if it were rabid, mortally wounded, or incurably ill.
“A dog cannot be exterminated because it barks,” senior lawyer Fali S. Nariman told the court.
A spokesperson for PETA, Anuradha Sawhney, said that Anderson going public with her opinions and giving the case so much attention may have affected the decision.
“It makes people realise that a lot of people do care about these animals,” she said.
“I think the main thing here is that we need to make people realise how important these dogs are and there’s really nothing demeaning in having a stray dog. They’re just another dog.”
Every body’s (well, not every body’s, as she’s losing the Who Would You Poll) veg detective actress spoke with Sprig.com about being green and how to get greener.
Emily Deschanel went to a high school that valued students’ green grades as much as their math and science G.P.A. She also shops at vintage clothing stores and wants solar panels in her home. Her number one green secret is being vegan.
Speaking of vintage clothing, here’s a vintage dress she wore to The Upfronts, a meeting with television executives, the press, and advertisers. She’s looks stunning! Oh, yeah. Who’s bringing vintage back? Em’s bringing vintage back!
A certified green restaurant catered Moby’s Green Room for an inauguration party at the Manifest Hope D.C. gallery, meant to showcase artists who used their voices to speak up on behalf of President Obama during the election.
Sweetgreen is about as green as you can get for an eatery, using local and organic produce, biodegradable packaging and utensils, and energy-efficient lighting. The salad and yogurt shop is also vegan friendly.
Months ago, Cat teamed up with Morningstar Farms, a vegetarian Frozen food brand, to teach her fans how to incorporate healthier, quick meals into their diets.
“Morningstar Farms and I have come up with some easy ways to make eating well more manageable for the home cook,” she had said. “I want families to understand that good food doesn’t require hours in the kitchen.”
Looks like Cat can do more with vegetarian than just toss a soy sausage into the oven to bake. We’re sure the big vegan dinner took more than 15 minutes to create.

Comments Off on Give Some L Word To Daniela Sea’s PSA And Win DVD Collection
Whether you like PETA or not, you have to admit they do have their own successful MTV/Vh1 channel thing going with all the celebrity PSAs they have recorded. You could probably do a top 10 countdown of “Best Of” every year if you wanted to.
The latest is done by actress and musician Daniela Sea, who plays the computer tech Moira/Max Sweeney on Showtime’s The L Word. A quote from Daniela in her video:
“The meat industry doesn’t want you to think about all the animals they are torturing and killing. And they definitely don’t want you to think about all the diseases related to eating meat. Their only concern is making a profit. Along time ago I made a decision to quit eating meat and dairy products…”
