Hollywood’s Famous Faces Celebrate Cruelty At the 2008 Breeders’ Cup

Michael Parrish DuDell — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:06:21 +0000

OK, so I just threw up a little bit in my mouth! Rumor has it that on October 24th, a whole mess of celebrities will check their morals at the door to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Breeders’ Cup

In case you don’t know, the Breeders’ Cup is an annual series of Grade I thoroughbred horse races that take place in a different city each year. To celebrate it’s return to Los Angeles, stars like Kurt Russell, Dennis Hopper, Jerry O’Connell, Allison Janney, Maroon 5 and DJ Joel Madden are coming together to celebrate in the spirit of animal abuse.

It’s estimated that around 800 racehorses die each year from fatal injuries suffered on US racetracks and approximately 3,566 sustain injuries so bad that they cannot finish their races. What happens if a horse fails to win? Most of the time a “losing” horse is sent to a slaughter, where operators sell the horse’s flesh overseas for human consumption, or provide horsemeat to glue factories.

So a big thumbs down to all those Hollywood stars who are choosing to publicly support this wacky tradition of wasteful cruelty. Way to go, you guys! If you’re that desperate to watch a race, tune into the presidential debates. At least there the loser won’t be sent to slaughter!

The Green Quote: Rebecca Romijn Loves Soy Cream Cheese

“Lemonade always has to be in our fridge. That’s my job. Also soy cream cheese. It’s crazy, right? Can’t be cream cheese. Soy cream cheese. Do you know how difficult it is to find soy cream cheese? It’s usually in the corner of the supermarket someplace!”

Expect An Uber-Green Nursery For Rebecca Romijn & Jerry O’Connell’s New Twins

Michael d'Estries — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:20:17 +0000

Joining the ever-growing list of celebrities with twins (what the hell are these people drinking?), Rebecca Romijn & Jerry O’Connell have announced that they are expecting two bundles of joy. The first-time parents confirmed the news to US Weekly. “Jerry couldn’t be happier about becoming a dad,” a source told the magazine.

Expect these two to also join the all-natural celebrity baby nursery scene. Romijn has been a greeny for awhile now — and last August, O’Connell admitted that his new wife’s habits where making an impression. “I drive a Prius and get angry if people don’t recycle. The little lady has got me living the Bay Area lifestyle,’ he commented. The 34-year-old actor also mentioned that he had invested in solar panels for their home.

Seems like some more green babies are right around the corner. Cool to have so many kids being raised with the environment in mind, right? Congrats to Rebecca and Jerry!
