UPDATE: Tim from the Center for Consumer Freedom (the “PETA Kills Animals” people) writes to let us know that the Dalai Lama isn’t just any ordinary carnivore. He eats VEAL. That’s one bloodthirsty Buddhist.
You know about Travis Barker giving up vegetarianism to heal up from his serious burns. Well, I don’t know if he’s heard from “the cute Beatle” about behaving like a normal human being, but guess who has?
Sir Paul McCartney tried to turn the Dalai Lama vegetarian, insisting the famed Buddhist was “wrong” to eat meat.
The Beatles legend wrote to the spiritual leader to point out that meat-eaters contribute to the suffering of animals, contradicting his statement that Buddhists “believe in not causing suffering to any sentient beings”…
In an interview with Prospect magazine, MCCartney says, “I found out he was not a vegetarian, so I wrote to him saying ‘Forgive me for pointing this out, but if you eat animals then there is some suffering somewhere along the line’.
“He replied saying that his doctors had told him he needed it, so I wrote back saying they were wrong.”
First McCartney was a better lawyer than the guys who advised him to get a prenup with Hopalong Mills. And now, not only is he a medical doctor, but he knows more about Buddhism than the Dalai Lama! Maybe next he can give Tiger Woods some putting tips. Or maybe he can fill in some of the gaps in Stephen Hawking’s knowledge. “Uh, did you write ‘Yesterday’, matey? Didn’t think so. Now stop fidgeting and listen.”

It’s tough times all around for everyone, but particularly so for Denise Richards. How is this poor woman supposed to survive on a mere $52,000 in child support from Charlie Sheen every month? At least she doesn’t have to pay taxes on it — she and her kids would starve otherwise.
So now the woman made famous by playing a psycho lesbo-killer in Wild Things is ready to do whatever it takes to make a little spare cash.
Can I say how incredibly awesome it is that the Chicago Sun-Times ran this quote?
Supposedly, Richards is so concerned about her professional future, ‘’she’s willing to do just about anything and take any role that’s not pure porn,” says a longtime pal. Besides her dismal reality show, Richards’ recent film projects have been clearly forgettable little comedies yet to find distribution, and ”Blonde and Blonder” (that only made back a few thousand dollars on its modest $8 million budget), and the upcoming Bollywood flick ”Incredible Love,” notable for being shot in Hollywood and featuring cameos by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and ”Superman Returns” star Brandon Routh.
So keep in mind the next time you hear allegations from her that Charlie Sheen molests his own children or when she trots out her daughters for the reality-show cameras or whatever, that this is a woman who is only barely above filming Denise Does Dallas. Which probably means she’ll be PETA’s next spokesperson.
Man, Stand Up 2 Cancer needs to stop using celebrity spokespeople. They will fail you every time.
From Page Six:
WHEN will young Hollywood learn their manners? At the Stand Up 2 Cancer event held at Kitson in LA on Wednesday, co-hosts Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore both demanded to “exit the rear entrance of the store,” according to one snitch. After their hosting duties, they wanted to sneak out to avoid any paparazzi, and “onlookers were shocked and appalled that they would try to leave early,” our spy said. Too bad for them, as they soon realized, Kitson doesn’t have a back entrance and they were forced to walk out the regular people’s entrance.
Busted!
It’s one thing to leave a boring charity event early, but they were the hosts. That is classless, bitches. The only way to make this worse is if they were sneaking out for a cigarette break.
