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 »
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 »
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 »
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’m sure everyone has seen our Sexiest Vegetarian contest by now, and hopefully you’ve voted for your favorite already. The number and quality of entries has been truly inspiring. If we ever decide to have a Dumbest Vegetarian contest, however, there won’t even need to be any voting because this girl will definitely win. … … Read more »
We actually didn’t say “I told you so” in this instance, just: “We are sorry to hear about your injury. We tried to help you and the donkeys. Please tell us that you understand now.” I thought that was pretty nice of us, under the circumstances. Here’s the back story: Whiteford Agricultural Schools’ superintendent Craig … Read more »
With hundreds of people standing in line waiting for tickets last week, the Lewis and Clark Old-fashioned Circus just folded up its tents and slinked off into the night. (OK, whatever—it was daytime, and circuses probably can’t slink exactly, but I need a bit of creative license here.) The reason for all the drama was … Read more »
This week, the folks at Unilever—the parent company for Axe Body Spray—learned the hard way that you can’t perform nasty animal experiments for your product and have Pamela Anderson star in your ad campaigns. It’s really one of those “one or the other” situations—both is just greedy. And, of course, it’s worth mentioning that maiming … Read more »
Allie “Gullible’s not in the dictionary” Sullivan I know I’ve been going on ad nauseam about my little April Fools joke, but did you see Ecorazzi’s? Pretty funny, I think. And obviously a joke, right? Obvious to most of us, but not all. My friend Allie actually screamed with excitement when she thought Paris Hilton … Read more »
I’ve got some wild stuff for you this week, so let’s get into it. This couple REALLY loved their dog. Um, wow. I don’t particularly like Alanis Morissette or the Black Eyed Peas all that much, but somehow putting them together is, well, magical. I promise I didn’t take the clown’s missing bike, but I … Read more »
It’s not out in theaters until April 13th, but my friend Bruce went to an advanced screening and told me that Year of the Dog is an amazing movie for anyone who loves animals. It’s got a great cast led by Molly Shannon, Peter Sarsgaard, John C. Reilly and Regina King, so this will be … Read more »
OK, I’m a little embarrassed to say it, but yeah, I saw this movie. Maybe it was the fact that I grew up with General Lee Hot Wheels cars, or that good ol’ Willie Nelson plays Uncle Jessie in the movie. OK, it was neither of those things. It was because I thought Jessica Simpson … Read more »
Total winner, this one. With Easter coming up, a lot of people have eggs on the brain, especially in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, where, according to RXPG News, “Christians across the state consume eggs lavishly after the Sunday Easter mass.” Before I go on, I do want to take the opportunity to write that one more time, … Read more »
Our good friend Chrissie Hynde had a fantastic op-ed published in The Globe and Mail this morning, where she addresses the tired old “What about the Inuits?” defense of the seal slaughter. You can read that here. PETA activists joined New York radio personality Flirty Flipper for this little demonstration outside the Consulate General of … Read more »
Sour Grapes? Like, he’s really, really pissed off. It all started a couple of years ago with an April Fools joke PETA did where we pretended that some scientists in Louisiana had discovered genetic evidence of the link between hunting and unusually small penis size. Gene, who’s the Outdoors columnist for The Washington Times, was … Read more »
