Catfight!!! Sarah Palin Vs. At Ashley Judd

Sarah Palin struck back at Ashley Judd’s featured role in an ad campaign accusing the Alaska governor of supporting the aerial slaughter of wolves and bears.

Palin released a statement calling the ad “reprehensible and hypocritical.”

“The ad campaign by this extreme fringe group, as Alaskans have witnessed over the last several years, distorts the facts about Alaska’s wildlife management programs. These audacious fundraising attempts misrepresent what goes on in Alaska, and I encourage people to learn the facts about Alaska’s positive record of managing wildlife for abundance.

“Shame on the Defenders of Wildlife for twisting the truth in an effort to raise funds from innocent and hard-pressed Americans struggling with these rough economic times,” wrote Palin, reports Politico.

C’mon Sarah. It’s a well known fact that you LOVE to hunt. You’re also a fur hag and let’s not forget your infamous interview while a turkey was being slaughtered in the background.

You kill animals for funsies and I would love to see Ashley’s pearls and hoops come off over your stupidity.

Watch Ashley Judd’s video for the Defenders of Wildlife here.

PETA Is Pissed With Pinocchio

PETA is definitely not down with designer Giorgio Armani and they are urging celebs not to wear his clothes to the Oscars, claiming he went back on his pledge to stop using fur in his collection.

PETA’s latest advertising campaign which brands him as “Pinocchio Armani” states:

“Giorgio Armani broke his public promise to stop using fur – his latest collections include fur-trimmed skirts and coats as well as jackets and even snowsuits for toddlers trimmed with rabbit fur.

He gets his fur from China, where animals – who are protected by no laws there – are often skinned alive.

Until Mr Armani makes good on his promise, please choose somebody else’s clothes to wear to this year’s Academy Awards.”

Ashley Judd Against Aerial Hunting And Palin

Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund launched a national campaign to expose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s renewed anti-conservation agenda. The Action Fund first highlighted Palin’s record in Alaska during last fall’s presidential campaign when it ran TV ads across battleground states, highlighting Palin’s championing of the brutal and unnecessary aerial killing of wolves and other carnivores.

Defenders Action Fund’s campaign to expose Gov. Palin’s anti-wildlife agenda has attracted the support of actress and activist, Ashley Judd, who narrates the new video on www.eyeonpalin.org.

In a statement announcing the launch of the anti-Palin campaign, Judd says she is “outraged by Sarah Palin’s promotion of this cruel, unscientific and senseless practice which has no place in modern America.”

“Because she is apparently determined to continue and expand this horrific program, I am grateful that Defenders will aggressively fight to stop her. I am proud to be a part of that effort,” Judd says.

Pambo: This One’s For You Paul!!

Pam Anderson by David LaChapelle

You won’t find Pamela Anderson’s release at your local multiplex. The former Baywatch star and longtime animal advocate gave her voice for this video “Kentucky Fried Cruelty,” an undercover exposé blowing the whistle on the cruel treatment of animals at KFC’s factory farm and slaughterhouse suppliers. The video details just how horribly KFC treats chickens. Birds are so crippled that they can’t even walk, live birds are forced into tanks of scalding-hot water while completely conscious and able to feel pain, and Moorefield, W.Va., slaughterhouse workers kill birds by slamming them against the wall and stomping on them.

Thanks for the kind words Pauly boo-boo. Press play. It’ll make you feel better. xx

Oh and for those of you that have weak stomachs or don’t like to see violence- don’t press play.

DMX Pleads Guilty To Animal Cruelty

HAHA! Dick-M-X finally got served in Arizona last Tuesday. His sorry ass pleaded guilty to the following:

Case 1: Guilty to one count of cruelty to animals and one count of possession of narcotic drugs.
Case 2: Guilty to theft.
Case 3: Guilty to possession of marijuana.

The animal hater will be sentenced on January 30th, 2009. 10 days after we’re finally Bush-free. Best month yet.

I shouldn’t be so mean..addiction is a bitch. Watch and learn kids. Drugs makes you do effed up things. Like getting arrested 5 times in 3 months. Just say NO (to the heavy stuff.)

Pharrell Goes Bionic

Ok… I don’t think Pharrell even needs to be promoting something eco-friendly for me to have mad love for his swagger, but him being on the green tip just adds to his ridiculous sex appeal.

Pharrell has teamed up with the folks over at Bionic Yarn, “a textile firm based in New York dedicated to developing environmentally sustainable fabrics. They engineer, market and manufacture premium yarns and fabrics using fibers comprised of recycled plastic bottles.

The fabrics then can be used to make backpacks, luggage, handbags, clothing items and home furnishings.” Look for Pharrell to be incorporating this eco-friendly material into his clothing labels.

Interesting fact- An average pair of jeans made of the bionic yarn fabric contains seven recycled plastic beverage bottles. If adopted by today’s clothing designers, this type of manufacturing could potentially reduce plastic landfills that are already overcrowded.

Donna Karan Label Goes Fur-Free!!

This is amazing to hear. PETA has tried for years to get Donna Karan amongst other designers to ditch fur. Some successfully and others not. Well days after PETA launched their (now disabled) DonnaKaranBunnyButcher.com site, DK has announced that starting with the fall 2009 line, the fashion house will no longer use fur. Tim Gunn of Project Runway narrated a video that was sent to DK, breaking down the cruel world of fur in the fashion industry.

Thank you to PETA for fighting the fight and to Donna Karan for doing the right thing. Chalk one up for the furry ones thanks to Tim Gunn!

Jeremy Piven Drops Out Of Broadway Due To High Mercury Count

Extreme mercury toxicity is what’s to blame for Piven’s recent illness which landed him 3 days in a hospital and his doctor ordering him to drop out of his Broadway show and get rest. Piven is reportedly an avid sushi eater, sometimes having it twice in one day.

Being half asian, I’ve always gotten crap for not eating seafood. The smell and consistency of fish has always grossed me out. I’ve tried to make myself like it, esp. since every time someone suggests what to eat, sushi is the first choice. I’ve recently heard of two friends that got deathly ill from having a high mercury count and their stories weren’t pretty. I remain seafood-free except for the occasional tuna sandwich.

Go here to learn more on which fish have the highest mercury levels: TUNA is one of them! Yikes. Be careful ya’ll.

From Clueless To Kind

Your favorite Clueless girl and long-time vegan is set to write a tell-all book…. No, not about her wild-child party days, followed by a stint in rehab, more partying then a relapse, back to rehab.. rinse and repeat.

Alicia Silverstone is actually one of the few Hollywood girls who hasn’t gone that route. On the contrary she has been a strict vegan for years and hardcore animal activist. She’s also very publicly battled the bulge and was even referred to as “Fatgirl” instead of “Batgirl” in the Batman and Robin movie.

So it only makes sense that she would pen a book on vegan dieting.

The book entitled The Kind Diet is set to release in Fall 2009 and “explores the connection between what we put in our bodies and what we’re doing to the planet, and how choosing the right foods in the kitchen can help you feeling lighter, sexier, and more alive.”

The book will also include a 3-step diet program, along with 75 vegan and macrobiotic recipes.

Gwyneth Effs Up

Gwyneth Paltrow had a lot of explaining to do after becoming the face of the Tod’s campaign. She was photographed with a fur stole draped over her shoulders for the lead shot of the campaign.

Her apology to PETA in part reads-

“It was a daylong photo shoot on a boat near Capri, and there were all sorts of poses with all kinds of clothes – none with fur,” she added. “During one set-up, a stylist came up from behind and draped a stole around my shoulder.

She continued: “I didn’t pay much attention to it, and when I noticed it was fur, I assumed it was fake fur, but did not ask, so it’s my fault. I was very surprised when they ended up using that one shot out of hundreds for the centerpiece of the Tod’s ads.

“I know it’s not a great excuse, but I hope you and your members understand.”

She also stated that she doesn’t wear fur at all and she and her family mostly eat a vegetarian diet.

Well… we’ll let it slip this time… but we’re watchin’ you Gwynnie.

Population Control

The numbers are staggering! Studies show that one female dog and her descendants can produce as many as 67,000 dogs in six years. In seven years, a single unspayed female cat and her offspring can produce up to 420,000 kittens. Sadly, the majority of these animals ultimately meet an untimely death.

Unwanted and abandoned, many do not survive the harsh conditions of life on the streets. The millions of animals who end up in shelters only stand a 50% chance of being adopted. The rest are euthanized. Tragically, most of these poor creatures would have made wonderful companions – but they ran out of time.

Effective spaying and neutering can dramatically reduce the number of perfectly adoptable companion animals who are currently being euthanized in shelters across the United States. With fewer dogs and cats competing for adoption into loving forever homes, their chances of survival improve immensely.

Celebs 4 Whatever It Takes

My New York eco-friendly shopping saga continues. I stopped in at Urban Outfitters looking for a black pleather skirt that I had seen online. No luck with the skirt but walked out with 2 reusable tote bags (it’s becoming an addiction), designed by various celebrities for WhateverItTakes.org

Kanye West, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Gwen Stefani were among the celebs who lent their designs for the cause.

When you purchase a bag ($38) you are helping the 21st Century Leaders Foundation a charitable organization which funds key global development causes, including poverty alleviation, environmental conservation and the protection of children.

Net royalty proceeds generated by the Whatever It Takes Campaign go to the 21st Century Leaders Foundation, to fund selected charitable projects including those nominated by the celebrity artist.
