Natalie Portman is a vegetarian – a vegan, to be precise – and she thinks you should be one too. At least, that’s the impression I get from her article at the Huffington Post. In fact, she really goes so

A friend of mine once called it Elvis Disease. Occasionally an individual will become so powerful, that he forgets he is mortal. (It’s what happened to Marlon Brando’s character in “Apocalypse Now.”) Because when a human becomes so important that

WAVY: PETA spokesperson Caleb Wheeldon told WAVY.com the organization wants NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to “require Vick to undergo a full psychological evaluation including an MRI and some other testing as a pre-condition for any possible re-instatement.”

Now infamous NFL quarterback Michael Vick’s prison term is over. He’s now a free man. Vick, of course, was involved in the cruel act of dog fighting, but most stories I’ve seen this week mostly revolve around his chances of

ET: The animal rights group has been offered the actor’s gym towel and wants to use his sweat to create Clooney-flavored tofu, the Washington Post reports. PETA President Ingrid Newkirk says of the Clooney ingredient: It’s like “making artificial chicken
