Move aside presidents, becase vegetarians are taking over as the new face of American postage stamps.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have taken the faces of 20 of the most famous vegetarians in history and put them on a series of postage stamps, to be released tomorrow. The stamps are an example of PETA’s effort to put a stop to animal abuse.

“It’s just another way to be able to talk about what animals go through in slaughterhouses,” said Lisa Lange, vice president of PETA.

The stamps will be available on Peta’s website through December and possibly into January, just in time for us to send out those holiday cards.

The collection will include the faces of celebrities such as Russell Simmons, Woody Harrelson, Natalie Portman, Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett, Bryan Adams, Leona Lewis, Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson, Bob Barker, Stevo-O, and Ellen DeGeneres.

The set of 20 will be completed with the famous faces of Morrissey, César Chávez, Leonardo da Vinci, Leo Tolstoy, Albert Schweitzer, Gandhi, Pythagoras and Johnny Appleseed.

“These are very influential people, and not everyone knows that these folks are vegetarian,” said Lange.

While it’s a little risky to put such a controversial organization in charge of a set of postage stamps that will be released to the public, I think it could actually be a good idea. It will definitely attract the attention of collectors, but it will also help PETA achieve its hopes it to in publicizing issues at hand regarding animal cruelty.

Do you think the stamps are a good idea? Which stamp are you most excited for?

The headline isn’t a joke, guys! It makes complete sense that the woman who basically invented the sex tape and starred on Baywatch in that itty bitty red bikini will play the Virgin Mary in an upcoming Christmas special.

The Hollywood Reporter reveals she’ll play Jesus’ mommy on A Russell Peters Christmas Special airing on the Comedy Network December 1.

Clearly, she’ll be spoofing the whole nativity scene but it’s still absurd to see her dressed as the Virgin Mary. I’ve never seen this much articles of clothing drapped on Pamela before.

The star-studded Christmas special is full of beloved Canadians like Russell and Pamela. Michael Buble and Scott Thompson will also make cameos. Can’t wait to watch Pamela’s break-out role!

Former Baywatchstar Pamela Anderson is denying reports that she has gone bankrupt, reports TMZ. An article, which Anderson claims is false, says she is allegedly in debt to the tune of some $1.2 million.

“It is true that I am in a dispute with some of the contractors working on my home,” she said. ”This is because after paying millions of dollars to build the house, I continue to get bills from the contractors. My lawyers are reviewing the work done to see if the bills are fair. If they are, they’ll be paid. If they aren’t, they won’t be. Mistakes have been made in calculating taxes owed and we are now in the process of ensuring that any taxes owed are paid.”

Chris Kattan has a lifetime of Sunshine ahead of him.

The SNL alum married model Sunshine Tutt on Saturday, People reports. The couple have been dating since Spring 2005, after meeting at Tutt’s birthday party.

Kattan proposed by wrapping the engagement ring in a cheap box. He joked to People that his other, more romantic plans hadn’t panned out.

Originally I was going to do something very special,” he said. “I tried to get Bono of U2 to serenade her. That didn’t happen. Then I asked Justin Timberlake. No answer. After hundreds of phone calls and text messages, I finally ended up asking one of the members of the Hanson group. He didn’t want to get involved.”

Kattan will next be seen in “Hollywood and Wine,” co-starring Pamela Anderson and David Spade.

Pamela Anderson has declared Jessica Simpson a “bitch and whore.”

Anderson made her bold statements on an Australian radio station. Her anger comes after Simpson wore a shirt that read, “Real girls eat meat,” something that Anderson – a huge PETA supporter and vegetarian – couldn’t stand for.

Simpson’s shirt wasn’t intended to spark a feud with Anderson, but perhaps Carrie Underwood instead. Underwood used to date Simpson’s boyfriend, Tony Romo, and has frequently been on – and topped – PETA’s “Sexiest Vegetarian” lists.

Anderson, for her part, went on to tell the radio station why she was proud to be a vegetarian: “I think it’s healthy, good for your body and good for the environment.”

According to British press reports, Kid Rock was sent to the hospital minutes before he was scheduled to go on stage at a music festival in England.

The organizers of the festival said the rocker had been hospitalized in Nottingham due to dehydration and stomach cramps.

Minutes before Rock was scheduled to perform on-stage, an announcement came over the public-address system which said Rock was unwell. Rock reportedly had a late night at Central London’s Whiskey Mist nightclub by partying into the wee hours of the early morning.

Just recently, it has been reported that Rock’s ex-wife Pamela Anderson was back together with former husband Tommy Lee. According to reports, when asked about Anderson, Rock said: “If I see her, I say hello, but I kind of don’t want to be on that scene. I touched the stove, it’s f—— hot, I don’t want to touch it any more.”

Gossip columnist Perez Hilton reports that Lee told Rolling Stone magazine: “Pamela and the kids have moved in with me. It’s awesome, man. It’s definitely working. You can tell on the kids’ faces — they’re happy when we’re together. We’ve only given it a try 800 times — 801, here we go.”

The couple divorced a few years ago and since then, Anderson, 41, has remarried twice. The Canadian star has been married to rocker Kid Rock and Rick Salomon, who is known famously for making a sex tape with socialite Paris Hilton.

Pamela Anderson isn’t making herself any friends in her native country.

The Canadian bombshell infuriated the owners of the Opera in Montreal this past weekend by breaking a contract with them.

Anderson was set to walk the red carpet, speak with journalists and host a contest. She was also to pocket $100,000, reports Perez Hilton.

Unfortunately, Anderson’s diva behaviour got the best of her. She snubbed the media, though the agreement was to speak with each journalist for five minutes. She didn’t end up hosting the contest, and never went inside the room that was filled with flowers at her request.

Anderson reportedly spent most of her time relaxing on a leather couch.

Whatever Pamela Anderson’s secret is, she needs to share.

The blonde bombshell announced on “Larry King Live” this week that her doctor had announced her to be completely healthy.

“I’m doing really good,” she said. “Actually, I just went to my doctor, Dr Huizenga. He took all my blood work and went through all my tests. And I hadn’t really been to him in a year-and-a-half. And he said he’s never seen me healthier.

“That, he said, it’s a miracle. You know, I don’t really work out a lot. I walk and play sports with my kids. But he says, ‘You’re in the best shape I’ve ever seen you in. You’re 40 years old and your liver is in great shape, all your blood work came back really well, low cholesterol.’”

The news is amazing as Anderson has Hepatitis C. In 2003, she said that she was not expected to live more than 15 years because of the disease.

So what is Anderson doing to take care of herself? “I’m… treating it homeopathically… But I’m doing really what he (the doctor) told me… He thinks that me being vegetarian really helps me staying in such good shape.”

Access Hollywood reports that Pamela Anderson’s film “Blonde and Blonder” has officially been given the kiss of death: it’s going straight to DVD.

The flick, co-starring Denise Richards, finds the ladies as insipid women who are mistaken for hit men after witnessing a murder.

Even during filming in British Columbia in 2006, all was not well for the film. Richards famously tossed two laptops belonging to paparazzi off a balcony, injuring two elderly women. Commenting on her actions, Richards told Access Hollywood at the time that “It was wrong. I saw one of the photographers, went up to him and offered to give him a few nice shots and asked him to please leave so we can focus on our scene. He wouldn’t and he got really belligerent and he was saying vulgar, nasty things to me and made a derogatory remark about my family. I just did what I did and I feel terrible.”

Sure to be a high quality piece of art, “Blonde and Blonder” will be released February 5. Pre-order your copy today!

This time, Pamela Anderson was married for just two months before filing for divorce from current hubby Rick Salomon.

Anderson made the filing on Friday, December 14, but by Monday 17 had updated her blog with the post-script, “We’re working things out…” This is typical of Anderson, as she has had on-off relationships with both of her ex-husbands.

Anderson married Salomon shortly after her divorce from Kid Rock. Her first husband, Tommy Lee, is the father of her two sons, Brandon and Dylan. Salomon is known only for being Paris Hilton’s sex partner in the infamous sex tape, and previously being married to Shannen Doherty.

Pamela Anderson announces a pending retirement. Not to worry however, the blonde bombshell still claims to have at least five more years of performing in her.

The newlywed has reportedly been receiving TV and movie offers, but has been turning them down. She is hoping to wean herself off of the scene, and eventually settle down with her new husband, Rick Salomon, and her children in the country she calls home.

“I’ll go back to Canada,” the Baywatch star told USA Today. “I’ve got some land. It’ll be time.”

Currently, Anderson calls Malibu home, but travels frequently to Las Vegas. According to her, she and her children are very happy with Rick, and their mobile lifestyle.

“I say no to everything. Drives my agent crazy. But I’m lazy. I don’t want to work. I want to be with my kids. So, I just fly in from L.A., do a few days of shows and go back home.”

Settling down with her family, and moving on from her past with rockers Tommy Lee and Kid Rock, Pam has nothing but kind feelings towards both of her former suitors.

“Look, I wish them all well. I’m moving forward with my life.”

Canada’s very own Baywatch babe has taken to the altar yet again — this time, with a fellow sex-tape star.

Pamela Anderson said “I do” for the third time in Las Vegas Saturday, tying the knot with long-time friend Rick Salomon.

Well, at least they have something in common. Salomon, whom Anderson has called a friend for 15 years, is mostly known for his past relationship with Paris Hilton, and even more so for his appearance with the hotel heiress in the frisky flick One Night in Paris. And Anderson too had her own sex-tape slip-up in 1995 when X-rated footage of her honeymoon with first husband Tommy Lee somehow found its way into the media’s hands.

The scandalous twosome swapped vows amongst 60 friends and family members at the Mirage Hotel & Casino. But it was a quickie — they got hitched while Anderson was in between shows at Planet Hollywood.

Guests included the two sons she shares with Lee, Brandon, 11, and Dylan, 9, as well as Tobey Maguire, Kevin Dillon and magician Hans Klok, who she assists during shows.

Anderson, 40, reportedly sported a white denim Valentino minidress, and Salomon, 38, donned a black tuxedo and a matching beanie.

After Anderson’s three year marriage to Lee ended in 1998, she was briefly wed to Kid Rock last year for four months.

Salomon was married to voice actress Elizabeth Daily from 1995 to 2000. And in 2002, he tied the knot with Beverly Hills 90210 starlet, Shannen Doherty, but the union was later annulled.

Fingers crossed that these newlyweds keep the camera action at home G-rated from now on…

In a new interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Kid Rock makes harsh claims about his Canadian bombshell
ex-wife, Pamela Anderson. He says that at one point in their four-month marriage, she pretended to have had a miscarriage while upset with him.

“She’s in Vancouver shooting a movie and I have Lakers seats on the floor, and I’m gonna go to the Lakers game with my friend Jesse James,” he told the magazine.

“I’m like, ‘Baby, I got these tickets. I’ll see you on the weekend there,’ and that leads into her saying, ‘You don’t care about me, blah blah blah,’” Rock says. “She finally comes up with this: ‘I just had a miscarriage’…and hangs the phone up.”

Rock said he had been unaware if Anderson was pregnant, but he chartered a plane to Vancouver to take care of his wife. But, “When I get there, she’s partying at this restaurant, drinking champagne, jumping on the tables. I’m thinking, That’s a quick recovery from a miscarriage.”

Anderson recently became engaged again to a professional poker player.
