You read that right, Oprah Winfrey is going vegan as part of a 21 day cleanse! She announced on her show yesterday that she is thinking about going vegetarian. She read Quantum Wellness by Kathy Freston, and has decided to eliminate all animal products from her diet as part of an "inner makeover", i.e.: a vegan cleanse for three weeks!

I love me some Oprah. I was an Oprah fan long before most of the country even knew who she was. I grew up watching Oprah when she did double-time as an anchor and as a co-host of a chat show on WJZ-TV channel 13 in Baltimore and have been enamored of her ever since.

Of course now that she's Oprah Winfrey: Media Mogul and World-wide Mega Star, she has the power to influence millions and save countless animals. She's already started blogging about the experience stating, "Wow, wow, wow! I never imagined meatless meals could be so satisfying. I had been focused on what I had to give up—sugar, gluten, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese. "What's left?" I thought. Apparently a lot. I can honestly say every meal was a surprise and a delight, beginning with breakfast—strawberry rhubarb wheat-free crepes."

Yum, crepes. Sounds delightful to me! Here's hoping she sticks to her vegan diet, and that her legions of fans follow in her footsteps.

Tis the season for celebrating, that is, if you've been good. I know I have, so I'm pretty sure Santa's going to be dropping off some major loot for me. Lots of shoes, shoes, and more shoes!!! Yay for me!

But I can think of a few folks who've been downright rotten, especially where our animal friends are concerned. So we've taken a few names off of Old St. Nick's naughty list and had a little fun with them in the form of peta2's 2007 holiday snow globe e-card!

That's right, here's your chance to give a few of the nastiest people around a good shaking—we're sure you'd like to do more but this is the best we could do. Your choices are: Chicken killer Col. Sanders, Vogue's editor in death, I mean chief, Anna Wintour, fur hags Kate Moss or Hairy-Kate and Trashley Trollsen, Dick Cheney, or the newly sentenced Michael Vick.

Don't worry, you can do it more than once, so choose your celeb and watch the flakes fly!
