PETA is going after Flavor Flav for being mean to chickens at his restuarant.  Check out this open letter they wrote to him:


Dear Flav,

Greetings from PETA! After reading about the debacle involving employees of your fried-chicken restaurant in Clinton, Iowa, whose paychecks bounced, we're writing to encourage you to bounce one more thing—cruelty—and make your restaurant vegetarian.

If you thought your roast was bad, wait until you hear how chickens who are raised to be roasted are treated! Chickens are arguably the most abused animal on the planet. In the United States, more than 8 billion chickens are killed for their flesh each year, and 90 percent of these animals spend their lives in total filth and confinement—from the moment they hatch until the day they are killed.

More chickens are raised and killed for food than all other land animals combined, yet not a single federal law protects chickens from abuse—even though two-thirds of Americans say that they would support such a law. Chickens on factory farms are bred and drugged to grow so large so quickly that their legs and organs can't keep up, making heart attacks, organ failure, and crippling leg deformities common.

At the slaughterhouse, they are hung upside down, and their fragile legs are forced into shackles. Almost all chickens are still conscious when their throats are cut, and many are scalded to death in feather-removal tanks after missing the throat-cutter.

There's no reason to cash in on this cruelty. You can have all the same menu items as you did before—minus the meat. Delicious faux chicken is available wholesale from such companies as Gardein, and loads of palate-pleasing recipes are available free on our website: http://www.peta.org/living/vegetarian-living/recipes/. Faux fried chicken is as mouthwatering as it is healthy and humane, and we guarantee that it will have your customers yelling, "Yeah, boy!"

We hope that you will choose to reflect the true "flavor of love" by making your restaurant vegetarian. If we can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me at MichelleC@peta.org.

Best wishes,

Michelle Cho

'Real Housewives of NYC Returns': Will It Be As Good Without Bethenny Frankel?

'Real Housewives of NYC Returns': Will It Be As Good Without Bethenny Frankel?

There's been a lot of talk lately about the downhill slide of The Real Housewives franchise. The D.C. women proved tepid enough to (reportedly) get canceled after just one season. And the relatively tame Miami women may be the next to go. So the timing couldn't be better for The Real Housewives of New York City  (Bravo, Thursday, April 7, at 10 p.m. ET) to come roaring back for their fourth season.

But now that the cast has lost its breakout star, Bethenny Frankel, to the spinoff show Bethenny Ever After (among other projects), can the void she leaves be adequately filled by Alex McCord, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and new addition Cindy Barshop?

In this season 4 previewthe New York divas prove that they are perfectly able to ramp up the crazy. In fact, after watching those other versions of the show, the New Yorkers remind us what this series is all about.

Brazen self-confidence. Explosive confrontations. And lots and lots of crazy behavior.

We get to follow the women to a wedding and on a trip to Morocco. And of course, we get to sit in on tons of restaurant showdowns. In one particularly humorous exchange, de Lesseps refers to McCord's "Herman Munster shoes."

"They were Louis Vutton shoes!" McCord protests.

"Well, even Louis Vutton makes mistakes," de Lesseps replies.

Meanwhile, newbie Barshop wastes no time recognizing Singer's unique gift for gab. "Ramona insulted a whole country in five seconds," she sniffs during their trip abroad.

In other news, Morgan's got a new, younger (naturally) boyfriend, Brian Farrell, though she doesn't like the word "boyfriend." Bensimon, on the other hand, keeps the drama to her female friendships. She told E! News that she took a sabbatical from dating during filming.

Viewers will be happy to hear that Zarin is as catty as ever. She's seen here gossiping about McCord and Singer's sartorial choices. Don't they know that it's gauche to wear cream at a wedding?!

"There's been kind of a natural division," Barshop tells the camera at one point. "The brunettes vs. the blondes." Oooh, this ought to be good!

Who needs Frankel when you've got a blonde-vs.-brunette throw-down to look forward to?

Justin bieber covers Rolling stone

Justin Bieber

He?s the object of affection for millions of teenage girls, and Justin Bieber is speaking his mind on the topic of sex in the new issue of Rolling Stone. The ?One Less Lonely Girl? singer explained, ?I don?t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them.? He continued, ?I think you should just wait for the person you?re... in love with,? noticeably leaving out the whole marriage thing. As for abortion, Justin says he?s definitely Pro-Life. "I really don't believe in abortion. It's like killing a baby?" And he?ll keep his Canadian healthcare. "We go to the doctor and we don't need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills. My [American] bodyguard's baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby's premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home." [gallery=751]

Is Jake Gyllenhaal Dating '90210' Star Jessica Lowndes?

Is Jake Gyllenhaal Dating '90210' Star Jessica Lowndes?

Taylor Swift has reportedly been spending time with Tron star Garret Hedlund -- but we're guessing her ex Jake Gyllenhaal isn't too bothered by her new rumored romance. It seems the Source Code star has also been spotted stepping out with someone new.

According to recent reports, Gyllenhaal, 30, was seen having breakfast with 90210 actress Jessica Lowndes in New York City.

So, is there a romance brewing in a new zip code?

Though Gyllenhaal's rep confirms that he and Lowndes, 22, shared a meal at the Greenwich Hotel on April 1, whisperings of it being more than friendly seem to be a bit far-fetched. The mouthpiece insists his client and the actress are "not dating."

Still, Lowndes' rep would only give the standard "no comment" when asked about the situation. Of course, it couldn't hurt her client's popularity to be the new woman in Jake's life -- so maybe she's hesitant to directly shoot down the rumors.

If Gyllenhaal is looking for a serious relationship, he's not doing too well. Aside from his brief fling with Swift last year, Gyllenhaal hasn't had a steady girlfriend since he split from Reese Witherspoon (who's now married!) in December 2009.  And the sexy star admitted to iVillage that "it's always tricky getting girl" -- even for him!

Hang in there, Jake. Ms. Right could be just around the corner.
