Vegetarian Star

Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee will marry his sweetheart, Ione Skye in a traditional Hindu ceremony. They will be joined as man and wife by guru Sakthi Narayani Amma, who has apparently served as guidance to Ben for several years.

You might be asking, “Who the heck is Ben Lee?” Such was the question we asked, so we did a little investigation. It’s always fun to learn about celebrities who might not be as well known or more famous in other countries.

You may have heard his song, “Catch My Disease,” on Grey’s Anatomy and television commercials for Dell Computers.

Like many handsome meatless men, he has been nominated as one of PETA’s World’s Sexiest vegetarians. He started his musical career with a band called Noise Addict, but went solo after that band broke up. Past romances include actress Claire Danes. His CD, Ripe, released in 2007, features a guest appearance by veg rocker Benji Madden of Good Charlotte.

Chrissie Hynde is looking to expand her restaurant business and open a second VegiTerranean in Columbus, OH. In 2007, she opened the first in her hometown of Akron.

Although nothing is definite yet, calls to the restaurant confirm a working plan to expand.

Earlier this month, The VegiTerranean put 2 of its vegan burgers on display at the National Hamburger Festival.

The original plan was to open the Columbus restaurant by this summer, but we all know good things take time.

Hynde’s partner Dan Duplain told the Columbus Dispatch they eventually want to have restaurants in every major city in Ohio. The current vegan menu features vegan Italian food and items named for famous Ohio residents such alcohol-free cocktails named after the Alcoholics Anonymous founder Dr. Bob Smith.

The Pretender’s singer grew up in Ohio and attended Kent State University for awhile. She now resides in the U.K.
