They've all made the decision to cut meat out of their diets for good, and while some may argue they?re missing out, a number of celebs have been honored by PETA for their commitment. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals created a special series of stamps featuring photos of famous vegetarians. Natalie Portman, Ellen DeGeneres, Leona Lewis, Pamela Anderson and Paul McCartney can all be seen in the new stamp collection. Also making the cut are stars like Woody Harrelson, Steve-O, and Russell Simmons. [gallery=785]

Bruno Mars is up for six Grammy Awards, including such marquee noms as Album of the Year for Doo-Wops & Hooligans as well as Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for his ballad "Grenade." Shortly after the singer learned he and his team, the Smeezingtons, were recognized for their breakthrough album and track, Mars chatted with MTV News backstage after the Grammy Nominations Concert in Los Angeles, and he seemed pretty overwhelmed by all of it.
"Incredible. We worked really hard," he said. "We worked hard in the studio right down the street, actually. And it's a little tiny shack, but for the two years we were in there, we just locked ourselves in that room and came up with Doo-Wops & Hooligans."
All the hard work on the album, which also features hits "The Lazy Song" and "Just the Way You Are," seems to have paid off with recognition not only for the release, but also for its crowning jewel of a track. "Worked extremely hard on 'Grenade.' That was the hardest song on the whole album to finish because we knew we had something, and to get all that emotion out," he said. "I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we're really happy that that song is being recognized because that's like our trophy song."
While Mars seemed pretty poised backstage, he admitted it was a little hard for him to keep his cool while they were announcing the nominees during the telecast, which included two performances by Lady Gaga.
"They kept cutting the camera to me every time. I wanted to jump up and punch [Smeezingtons partner Philip Lawrence] in the face and knee him, noogies, but I'm trying to be cool 'cause I know mom's watching," Mars joked.
The 54th annual Grammy Awards will air February 12 on CBS.

Singer says people keep trying to give her hot sauce and pickles.

Root Beer, chicken wings, pickle juice, donuts, mac and cheese. Pregnant women have all kinds of odd cravings, but in an interview slated to air on Friday night on "20/20," Beyoncé told interviewer Katie Couric that she hasn't had those typical late-night urges during her pregnancy.
"Not really anything crazy," B told Couric. "I've read that I like ketchup on everything," she added, saying that the rumor is not true. And when Couric tried to confirm other Internet whispers about what the singer is allegedly making hubby Jay-Z rush out to the corner bodega for at 2 in the morning, Beyoncé said the wildest one is also not true.
"I also read that you like ice cream with hot chili sauce," Couric said. "Yeah, that's very strange," responded Beyoncé, who was dressed in flowing purple pants with a white pattern, a black leather jacket and black pregnancy top with a subtle blue design. "Is that true?" Couric pressed. "No it is not. I was on a plane and the flight attendant came and was like, 'I have your hot sauce and pickles and bananas.' I was like, 'That is absolutely disgusting, what are you doing?' He's like, 'I read it on the Internet.' "
When Couric asked the question everyone wants to know, whether she should get the singer a pink or blue baby gift, Beyoncé smiled and put her finger up to her mouth and gave a coy, "hmmm."
In another segment, Couric and Beyoncé take a stroll past New York's Roseland Ballroom, where the pop icon played the four shows earlier this year that became the subject of her just-released "Live at Roseland" DVD . "When I was here it was raining and there were thousands of people in their coats and umbrellas waiting outside for hours," she said of the summertime shows. "Which always feels a little overwhelming because I'm like, 'I hope I give them enough.' But everyone had a great time."

However, the ?Crazy in Love? songstress told ?20/20? reporter Katie Couric that the reports of her pregnancy cravings have been vastly overstated.
When asked if she?s had an odd affinity for food, Beyonce shared, "Not really anything crazy. I've read that I like ketchup on everything, [but that?s not true]."
Couric noted, "I also read that you like ice cream with hot chili sauce," to which Beyonce replied, ?Yeah, that's very strange. No it is not [true].
