Word on the street is that fashion maven Tim Gunn is going to be introducing Dan Mathews at his New York booksigning for Committed: A Rabble-Rouser’s Memoir tonight. If you live in NYC, I highly recommend making the trek to the Chelsea Barnes and Noble at 7 p.m., as any evening with Dan is bound … Read more »
Maybe Britney should stick to her trademark crotch shots, because her new post-rehab look definitely isn’t working for her. Unless of course she’s actually going for the whole “street walker” look, in which case she nailed it. I’m referring to this pic from an article talking about her supposed “comeback”: I realize the girl has … Read more »
Yeah, I know, it’s kind of a no-brainer. But the relative cuteness of mermaids versus cavepeople was really hit home to me today when I received images from two different protests conducted by PETA UK yesterday. The first, from a demonstration in Edinburgh to encourage people to cut the fish out of their diets, gets … Read more »
Which, in some ways, why in God’s name was a comic-book store selling fur in the first place, but hooray for those early-adopting scene-hoppers over at peta2 for helping to persuade the chain to stop! It’s nice to see that they actually do some real work in between hobnobbing with indie-rock icons and droning on … Read more »
Nine Inch Nails has a brand new album out this week: Year Zero has been getting a lot of love from the critics, and it’s awesome to see Trent Reznor back in form. And, of course, we’re all big fans of Trent here after he took time out of his schedule to narrate our exposé … Read more »
I wrote about JM Coetzee a little while back, after he gave an amazing speech in Sydney about animal rights and the ethics of industrialized slaughter practices. But the Nobel Prize winner just came through for animals again by writing to the European Parliament on PETA’s behalf to ask that they support a ban on … Read more »
I could seriously sit here all day trying to muster up sympathy for these guys and not succeed. Since that’s probably not going to happen, I’ll just give you the details of the story instead (I will make every effort not to be gleeful about it). Apparently, more than 100 seal-hunting boats became trapped in … Read more »
Pamela Anderson is truly amazing. Seriously, could the woman do any more for animals? This time, she got wind of KFC’s plans to expand in Russia, and jumped at the chance to write the president of KFC’s partner company there, urging him to use his influence to convince the company to protect the 850,000 chickens … Read more »
I’ve posted a couple of pictures in the past with some of the lovely ladies of PETA getting nekkid to help animals, so I figured it was high time I published a few pics of the dudes. This photo’s from a Tax Day demonstration conducted by PETA Campaigner Mike Brazell in Philadelphia to let people … Read more »
Well, it wasn’t exactly with the Flaming Lips—more like at a Flaming Lips show, but it was a pretty swell evening nonetheless. If you’re not familiar with the band, you can check them out here, but as rad as their music is, you’re missing a big piece of the puzzle until you see them live. … Read more »
A little drama unfolding in the UK this week: Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who is a good friend of Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) has found himself in a bit of a pickle after asking Victoria to let his lambs graze on the land at her home in Hertfordshire because his own London garden was … Read more »
After noticing that a female lobster in the tank at the Men’s Club of Reno was pregnant and carrying eggs, the club’s promotions director and lifelong vegetarian, Aquila Nelson, sprang into action. She convinced the club’s manager to let her free the lobster and called us for instructions on what to do. To make a … Read more »
Have you voted for North America’s sexiest vegetarian yet? Here’s an interview with one of the finalists in Sacramento. I had heard of this video about the “Bionic Burger” but I had never seen it until today. Gross. Nancy from LA sent me this amazing story about a cat who must have heard about the … Read more »
Not only do the folks over at Smashbox Cosmetics not test their products on animals, but they have these great store displays—and check out the cruelty-free bunny logon on the top of the Smashbox website: As if that weren’t enough to make us really big fans of the company here, they’ve just teamed up with … Read more »
You may have heard about the latest “solution” to the world’s energy crisis and global warming. This one is perhaps the most absurd idea yet, coming to us courtesy of the well-known environmental stewards of the meat industry. Last week, oil company ConocoPhillips and the largest meat producer in the world, Tyson Foods, announced that … Read more »
