• Photo of the Day: Bring It on Down to Veganville—PETA-Style

    Written by Alisa Mullins

    Come on—you know we couldn't let Justin Timberlake's performance at the White House go unmarked by a tribute to his immortal Saturday Night Live skit in which he (literally) sang the praises of vegan eating:

    Are you thinkin' about your he-ealth, oh, oh? Then veg out! No meat, so chic.

  • Justin Timberlake's 'Veganville' Skit Gets a T-Shirt

    Written by Michelle Kretzer

    You've watched the video of Justin Timberlake's "Veganville" skit on Saturday Night Live 20 times, posted it on Facebook, and tweeted the link. But do you have the shirt? The Passionate Vegan Personal Chef Service is offering "Bring It on Down to Veganville" shirts for everyone who can't get enough of the dancing tofu (which is pretty much everyone).

    And if you're looking for some more animal-friendly awesomeness to retweet this week, might we offer a few suggestions?

    Twitter founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone are getting in on the vegan action, too. The duo, along with Bill Gates, is offering financial backing to companies that are creating innovative new faux meats and nondairy products

    Will The Bachelor's Sean Lowe's bride-to-be, Catherine Giudici, be having her wedding in Veganville? We're hoping to see the vegan blogger and her beau throw a cruelty-free celebration for their televised nuptials.

    And Glen Davis is making vegan magic. Well, more accurately, he's making the Magic vegan. The Orlando Magic forward made the switch for his health, and PETA sent him a vegetarian/vegan starter kit, a "Glass Walls" DVD, and some cookbooks to get him well on his way to making up his own dance ode to one of his new favorite foods: tofu. 

    Chef Tal Ronnen may have us all dancing in the grocery store aisles soon. Not content to rest on his laurels after opening one of L.A.'s hottest new eateries, the all-vegan restaurant Crossroads this weekend, he is now crafting his own line of vegan artisanal cheeses, Kite Hill Cheese

    Soon, we can snack on Kite Hill Cheese and crackers while we watch one of our other best buds, Tim Gunn, help the Project Runway designers "make it work." When Us Weekly interviewed him for its "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" column, of course Tim worked in a plug for animals: "I love dogs, especially mutts." 

    Tom Hardy loves dogs, too, as evidenced by how he's bonding with his canine costar on the set of Animal Rescue. Ecorazzi reports that "the film will not only bring up animal abuse issues, but problems surrounding pit bulls in animal shelters."

  • PETA's Wedding Gift for Jessica & Justin

    Written by Michelle Kretzer

    Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake traveled to Italy to tie the knot and snatched up a wedding gift from PETA that was sure to delight the devoted dog guardians: Daisy Dog Studio's Tea for Two Teapot.

    And while everyone was busy tweeting about Jessica and Justin's wedding, they didn't forget about animals:

    After years of being teased by their buddy, vegetarian Wu-Tang Clan member GZA, about eating meat, Method Man and Redman have gone vegetarian. Considering that PETA pal Masta Killa is also vegetarian, perhaps the next album that Wu-Tang drops will have an ode to veggies?

    The stars of The Big Bang Theory didn't have to travel to space to get vegan food all over their faces (although they probably would have enjoyed that). They just competed in a vegan pie-eating contest

  • Justin Timberlake Knows That Fur Is Never 'Justified'

    When we heard about the fur that was featured in the William Rast runway collection—backed by Justin Timberlake—at New York Fashion Week, we all said, "WTF?!" (Why the fur?!) The mother-loving chart-topper would support the beating, electrocuting, and drowning of animals for a fashion line that has previously used only faux? It just didn't make sense—which is why we asked J.T. himself if there would be fur in the William Rast retail collection.

    Well, Colin Dyne, the CEO of Justin's fashion house, just confirmed to PETA that there will be no real fur in the collection, just some fake fur fringe on some of the shoes. His response made it pretty obvious which collection we'll be (sexy) backing in spring. Phew.
