A hairball, with a dollop of bird droppings on the side, for Rushmore star Jason Schwartzman, who bragged to Jane magazine about a high school prank that involved turning 600 chickens loose inside the school. “That was rock ’n’ roll,” he crowed. Um, we think the terrified chickens would have compared it more to the blues. Please write to Jason and tell him that if he actually pulled this moronic stunt, it’s nothing to brag about: c/o United Talent Agency, 9560 Wilshire Blvd., Ste. 500, Beverly Hills, CA 90212.
Catnip and a math teacher’s gold star to Roswell star Shiri Appleby, who put two and two together and came up with vegetarianism after a recent stint on Animal Planet’s Emergency Vets. After spending the day helping save suffering animals, Shiri says, “I was sitting here eating my plate of chicken salad, and suddenly I looked down and saw all the meat on my plate and just wasn’t hungry any more. So I’ve decided I’m not going to eat [meat].” Bwok, bwok! (That’s chicken for, “Thanks, Shiri!”)
A faux fur catnip toy to Drew Barrymore, who turned her back on a chance to appear on the cover of Vogue because it meant she’d have to wear clothes by designers who use fur. What an angel! Thank Drew for her heavenly decision at: Drew Barrymore c/o Eddie Michaels, 9025 Wilshire Blvd. Ste. 450, Beverly Hills, CA 90211.
A waterfall of catnip to Road Rules hunks Theo and Laterrian for refusing to participate in a South African “traditional healer” induction ceremony that involved the slaughter of animals. “I do not want to be a traditional healer,” said Theo. “I do not agree with the sacrificing of the animal.” Instead, Theo and Laterrian took a kinder, gentler field trip to a gorgeous local waterfall.
