“During my first pregnancy, I started to eat organically and healthily because that was the first time I actually thought about what I was putting in my body. I’m still doing that today and I’m also just taking it easy, not working out too much, just enjoying this time in my life.”

- Claudia Schiffer speaking to Star Magazine about her organic motherly tendencies. She also told the magazine she’s a huge fruit and veggie eater and that “lots of meat” makes her tired. Are you an organic mama? Chime in and share your favorite prego treats!

“Schiffer owns three dogs, two sheep, four chickens, a pregnant pig, two black swans, four ducks, three tortoises and a parrot, and compares her everyday routine to living in a zoo. She says, ‘I always dreamed that one day I would like a farm with lots of animals, so I thought I’d get little amounts of each and find out how it works.’”

Schiffer also revealed that she’s installed an “Austrian Wood-fired eco-boiler” to heat the 17th century property. We’re not exactly sure on the brand, but it might be the super-efficient Ökofen Wood-Pellet home heating system. Either way, sounds like a great life — and I’m smitten with the tortoises.

Jessica Alba is supporting the cause. Along with Revlon and In Style, she is offering supporters of Rainbow Trust a chance to win a Chloe bag she has personally signed.

Other celebrities are also joining in: Keira Knightley, Elle McPherson, Claudia Schiffer, Thandie Newton, Sharon Osbourne and Eva Green are auctioning personal handbags as well, on November 4 at a charity tea event in The Berkeley hotel ballroom.

In Style editor Trish Halpin says, “This is going to be a fun, uber glam event which will raise lots of money for an incredibly good cause. After all – what woman doesn’t want a fantastic handbag?”

Brittany Spears is auctioning off her naked self–her naked self-portrait, that is. The painting, which the singer has also autographed, is being sold on eBay to raise funds for L.A.’s the Promises Foundation, which provides women and children with low-income with behavioral health services. Wait. Behavioral health services? Now there’s the ironic moment of the day. To bid, click here.

Though the lawsuit hasn’t been settled (or dismissed) yet, Kate Hudson is still promoting her new hair-care line, David Babaii for WildAid. Not only is the actress actually using herself to test the products (Go Kate!), she’s also filming ads out in the bush with WildAid workers. “There was a black rhino right in front of our hut. It is one of the top on the endangered species list. It was so sad. It was all alone,” she said.

While the Atkins meat frenzy hasn’t completely left the planet yet, there are plenty of celebs who use veggie means when they’re dieting. Joan Lunden digs fresh fruit, Kelly Preston chows on oatmeal and bagels, Claudia Schiffer munches on salad and steamed vegetables, and Heidi Klum uses a salad with vinegar as an appetizer going out to restrain her appetite.

Molly Sims and Jennifer Jason Leigh are fans of Vert, L.A.’s first eco beauty boutique. Vert’s products are all chemical-free, mostly organic, and the store even holds makeup seminars and workshops to help customers lead more eco-friendly lifestyles.
