Vegetarian Star

Russell Simmons unveiled his new, all-vegan milkshake at the Millions of Milkshakes restaurant in Los Angeles, California for the 40th LA Pride Anniversary in West Hollywood. Being the philanthropist he is and working with so many charities in the past, it’s no surprise that sales of Russell’s shake benefits a foundation.

“The proceeds of every shake that we sell this week will be donated to the NOH8 foundation and I will personally match that amount with a donation,” Russell told Star.

Ashley Judd‘s personal chef, Cathy Lewis, shared Judd’s favorite salad, a combination of roasted beets, Heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers and greens topped with raspberries and walnuts plus a recipe for scones and strawberry shortcake for dessert.

For the dressing, Lewis chose a White Balsamic and Basil Vinaigrette.

Lewis is a regular at local farmers markets, both for herself and the Judd family.

If cats had spilled the oil in the Gulf Coast, is this how the conversation would have went down in the office?

The top cat’s advice is to throw rubbish on it after “crap,” otherwise known as Top Kill, doesn’t work.

“Rubbish. You know, golf balls, hair, Lindsay Lohan, whatever,” suggests the cat.

Chef Rick Moonen has long worked to educate about the dangers of overfishing and ocean conservation (while still cooking up fish in his restaurants) and told Eater while some people may not think of Las Vegas as being a heart of eco-friendly practices (think all that energy required for the lights on those strips), he encountered less resistance when preaching to chefs about removing certain seafood items from the menu.

“Las Vegas is closer to more organic farms than LA. True. And I’m not sure if this is timing or if it’s just a different mentality, but there’s more chef support—people actually making menu changes and making a movement towards being more sustainable on their menu—in Vegas than when I was in New York for twenty five years. True. The chefs sort of listened, but they weren’t motivated to take any action. You know, they’d sit there and listen to me and nod their heads but you look at their menu and: Chilean sea bass, red snapper, grouper, skate. I mean, what the? You don’t know why. I personally want to help to break the debauchering reputation of Las Vegas.”

Moonen’s restaurant, Mandalay Bay, isn’t the only sustainable outlet of Vegas, as Planet Green discusses. Ronald’s Donuts, for example,  is said to have a menu of almost 90% vegan donuts. If you’re the type that eats dessert before dinner, you should then swing by the Go Raw Cafe for some pizza, a wrap or drink from the juice bar.

Frankenburger

The KFC Double Down and McGangburger have had their 15 minutes of fame. Now the Frankenburger is hoping to win the hearts (by literally stopping them) of people with it’s trio of McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King food components.

Unlike other “killer” meat sandwich combos, the Frankenburger is not simply of piling of several patties of dead flesh onto a bun. Rather it takes the meat, cheese, vegetables, fries and other ingredients from several fast food meals to create the “perfect” burger. We are already salivating at a vegan version. Here is the formula for disaster, from Village Voice.

Brigitte Bardot Lancel

French animal rights activist and former actress and sex icon Brigitte Bardot has partnered with the leather goods company Lancel.

A vegetarian and leather company? No, this isn’t an oxymoron. Bardot is the inspiration behind the new eco-friendly bag, which currently can only be seen in sketches, as it’s just in the very earliest stages of development.

Since 1876 the company has been making handbags of the animal hide type, so this should come as refreshment and sign of yet another business recognizing the market for green and cruelty-free.

Still, some are already arguing it’s risky business, especially for Bardot’s reputation as Lancel’s main product is still leather.
