• Here's How to Beat Pacquiao

    Written by Michelle Kretzer

    The still-undefeated Timothy Bradley, who brought down Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao like a blue ghost on Saturday, might have had an unfair advantage: He follows a vegan training regimen. The welterweight is famously hard on left-handers, but he's easy on animals.

    In this clip, in which he talks about why he loves eating vegan meals, Bradley explains, "I just feel completely different. I feel superior over any athlete I get in the ring with. You know, energy is there."

    PETA's love is there for Bradley and his cruelty-free training sessions, so we're sending him some congratulatory flowers to thank him for joining athletes such as Lance Armstrong, Rich Roll, Jake Shields, Mac Danzig, Daniel Bryan, and many more in proving the power of plants!

  • Overheard: Hollywood Gossip (March 2, 2012)

    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.

  • Why We're Rooting for "Sugar" Shane Mosley

    Written by PETA

    "Sugar" Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao are ready to duke it out in the ring on May 7, and we have to admit, we're sweet on "Sugar" Shane. They both have undeniable talent and awesome nicknames, but Mosley has an advantage: Dogs are pulling for him. "Sugar" Shane showed where his moniker comes from when he denounced dogfighting in a public service announcement for PETA.

    We're sure Pacman knows that real men fight their own battles and leave dogs out of it, but we have to root for the sweet taste of success for "Sugar" Shane and his canine friends this round.
