Oprah is going vegan for 3 weeks. "This 21-day cleanse gives me a chance to think about [eating] differently and see what my attachments are to certain kinds of foods – and what I'm willing to do to change," Oprah writes on her blog. She also has a personal chef making her vegan goodies from Kathy Freston's book Quantum Wellness. Just sayin'. • Rumors are swirling that Nicole Kidman might pull a Demi Moore and take some naked preggers pics for a yet-to-be-named magazine cover. • Tom Cruise sent a cease and desist letter to the baby boutique Petit Tresor, for leaking what his lawyers say is false information about his family's spending habits.

Last month when I disclosed my prejudice against vegan guys, hackles were raised in the comments section about the manly men who love poon as much as they love quinoa. Well today's NY Times "Thursday Styles" section profiles one Johnny Diablo, who has made a career out of combining poon and quinoa: he opened a strip-club-cum Vegan restaurant in Portland, Oregon, called Casa Diablo Gentlemen's Club, where the strippers wear pleather! Local feminists (of which there are many) have been less than pleased. One "feminazi" as Mr. Diablo calls them, "came in here once. I could tell she had an attitude right when she came in. She was all hostile." But Mr. Diablo's not the only one using the female form to sell an animal rights agenda — Pam Anderson has been posing in her skivvies for PETA for a while now, and in L.A. there's a Pussycat Dolls-ish group called Vegan Vixens — and many vegan activists are wondering whether it is contradictory to use women as meat when you're anti-using animals for meat.

Get with the times: Anorexia is out and orthorexia is in. Orthorexia is when a person essentially refrains from eating certain things under the guise of being on a special diet (like Gwyenth's macrobiotics or Nat Portman's veganism). Okay, not everyone who chooses a special diet is an aspiring anorexic. But don't we all have that one friend who uses "vegan" as an excuse to consume nothing but a single glass of carrot juice and two kernels of brown rice in a week? Now you can stop telling her you're worried she's an anorexic. She's an orthorexic. Clear? [Telegraph] More »

• So, Marc Jacobs hater/International Herald Tribune critic Suzy Menkes may have loooved Marc's show, but general MJ fangirl, the NY Times' Cathy Horyn, missed it altogether! Only to then check it out online and write, "[I] can see why some people found it a little slack." Only to then be responded to huffily, via the COMMENTS, on Marc by Marc himself, if you will: "Dear Cathy....I wish you could have been at my show...I deliberately stated I was uninspired this season as I have felt that talking about inspiration is so not the point to making and showing a collection." So yeah, any time you thought about dismissing the entire industry as one big neverending middle school...you were pretty much right. [WWD, 1st item]

"Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans... are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit." Ha! That's Anthony Bourdain in the best-selling memoir Kitchen Confidential, and the writer/celebrity chef's famous phrase made an appearance in today's New York Times, which, on the eve of Valentine's Day, delves into the issue of dietary restrictions as potential dealbreakers among couples. A vegan quoted in the article, Lisa Romano, says that she recently dumped a boyfriend because he liked grilling his burgers alongside her soy patties, something she found "unenlightened and disturbing." Explains Romano: "I need someone who is ethically on the same page." That makes sense: If not killing animals for food is so high on someone's ethical scale that she refrains from eating meat, I imagine that her moral compass is set pretty differently from that of a rampant carnivore.
