Vegetarian Star

You know you’ve got power when a major fashion label asks you to represent them, then remakes its fashion animal-friendly just so you can wear them.

That’s what Natalie Portman told WWD Chrisitan Dior has done with all its leather shoes it wants her to model.

“One of the things that’s been so nice is that Dior made all of the shoes for me with no animals and no leather or anything, because I don’t wear any leather…They re-made all my shoes so I can wear Dior shoes without taking lives.”

Leather just isn’t an animal issue, it’s also an environmental one. A 2009 Greenpeace report revealed several top shoe brands like Nike, Adidas and Reebok and their demands for leather may have played a role in the supporting cattle ranchers that were illegally slaughtering in the Amazon and contributing to the deforestation there.

Joe Jonas was a guest judge on a recent episode of “Top Chef,” where teams had to prepare snacks for children participating in a sleepover at a museum. The chef teams took on two different snack plans, the “Tyrannosaurus Rex,” consisting of meat and dairy to match the carnivorous animal’s diet and “Brontosaurus,” a fruit and veggie snack plan.

Points lost here for not mentioning that Brontosaurus got a name change AND a head change and they all should be addressing him as Apatosaurus now. But at least they’re promoting veggies for children. Nutrition first. Then tackle science.

Do we really have to explain that the carnivores could have only had worst luck if a giant asteroid fell and made them extinct? Undercooked frittatas and bad tasting pork were no match for gnocchi, parfaits and gazpacho and team wrongly named Brontosaurus won the challenge.

Speaking of names, who the heck is Joe Jonas? A pastry chef, if you ask Season 4 former contestant Dale Talde.

Watch “Night At The Museum” below.

You should always look behind you, because you never know who’s following you. Like, it may be some really cool documentary that takes three meat and cheese loving people and turns them vegan for six weeks.

Vegucated recently followed us on Twitter, (which you may do here), so we decided to check out their film, which is set to release in 2011.

The candidates, a college student living a home, a bachelor who’s got take-out on speed dial and a single mother all go through medical testing to see where they stand healthwise, take trips to the grocery store to examine that island only vegs can find in the dark, watch films on what happens in factory farms and even visit slaughter sites as part of their journey.

One person claims she will never be able to eat meat again after watching an animal slaughter clip. Does she follow through? Watch the Vegucated trailer, follow these guys on Twitter and check out the film’s website.

Bob Barker has been named an honorary fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Barker is the first person in the entertainment industry to receive the award.

Through Barker’s generous donations, hundreds of law students at prestigious schools around the country can study animal law, including at Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, Northwestern, Duke, Georgetown, Virginia and Columbia.

“We cannot change the world for animals without also changing people’s ideas about animals. Almost single-handedly Bob’s sagacity and generosity have – in little more than a decade – propelled animals from being a marginal issue into the academic mainstream. This is a colossal achievement”, said Professor Linzey, Director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics.

Barker joins a line of several honorary fellows that include Nobel Laureate for Literature, Professor J. M. Coetzee and Madame Jeanne Marchig, founder of the Marchig Trust for Animal Welfare.
