• Overheard: Hollywood Gossip (March 2, 2012)

    Written by Michelle Kretzer

    Here's one thing that dog and cat people can agree on: Jennifer Aniston and Jay Leno's conversation on The Tonight Show about their rescued animals and the importance of adoption was the bee's knees.

    You can catch fellow adoption advocate Carrie Ann Inaba on both the tube and YouTube when she launches her Web show, Crib Cat, which will feature cats who are up for adoption. We're sure she'll play fair and not give special consideration to PETA pal Martina Navratilova on this season of Dancing With the Stars.

    Carrie Ann is also using Twitter to encourage people to save animals' lives. Here's what she and other celebs are buzzing about:

    Dave Navarro recently asked his Twitter followers to make donations for a new mobile SNIP clinic for PETA. Watch for the inked, never minked, celebrity on Spike's new season of Ink Master.

    When Meredith Vieira stopped by Ellen, she said she was interested in going vegan—and scored herself a "Glass Walls" DVD, a cookbook, and some other animal-friendly loot from PETA.

    PETA also sent vegetarian GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan an on-tour care package that included PETA's Vegan College Cookbook and a list of vegetarian restaurants in the cities that he and the band are hitting.

    Brit band The Wanted has crept up to number two on the U.S. iTunes charts, and singer Jay McGuiness crept up to number one on PETA U.K.'s Sexiest Vegetarian poll last year.

    The smart money is on Timothy Bradley Jr. to come out number one in his upcoming fight against Manny Pacquiao. The boxer is training vegan to get in prime sparring shape.

    Is there a week that goes by when Russell Simmons doesn't do something awesome for animals? (Answer: no.) This week, the hip-hop mogul and PETA's person of the year asked New York Gov. Andrew W. Cuomo to drop unhealthy milk as New York's state beverage.

    Major League Soccer MVP Dwayne De Rosario, who has been vegan since he was 14, should be on board—he shook up Millions of Milkshakes with his own vegan creation.

    Best wishes to another MVP, Baltimore Ravens running back Ricky Williams, who is retiring from the sport. We're sure that our MVP of animal rights isn't retiring from helping animals.

    We hear that guests at vegetarian beauty Anne Hathaway's engagement party enjoyed delicious, cruelty-free fare, including vegan burgers and cupcakes.

    PETA's favorite vampire, Kellan Lutz, is helping PETA purchase a new rescue van for our Community Animal Project. The star has also asked all his Twitter followers to help too.

    Rock 'n' roll legend and legendary champion for animals Chrissie Hynde is urging Ohio to enforce its ban on the use of electric prods and similar devices on animals when Ringling and its bullhook-wielding "trainers" come to the state.

    And Daniel Tosh was Tosh.Oh-so-sweet this week when he blasted cruel bull runs on his show.
