Vegetarian Star

Rachel Ray and Emeril better be watching their backs. Kevin Nealon might be waiting for them, ready to attack with his carrot sticks as he apparently knows how to cook a mean chickpea taco. There’s a recipe on Nutrition MD attributed to the Saturday Night Live and Weeds actor.

He once made fun of meat eaters by saying:

“I can’t wait for meal time when I can chow down on the decomposing corpse of a tortured animal. I like knowing that eating meat makes me four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.”

Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos

1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained
3 – 5 tablespoons salsa
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 dash cayenne pepper, or to taste
8 – 10 taco shells

In large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat.

Cook onion, celery, and green pepper until softened. Add chickpeas, salsa, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and cook until warmed. Mash chickpeas slightly with a fork for better texture.

Fill shells evenly with mixture from saute pan. If desired, top with any of the following: chopped tomatoes, shredded soy or rice cheese, low-fat guacamole, shredded lettuce, hot sauce, or salsa.

She may be smiling here, but that wasn’t case when she saw a very offensive ad containing one of her designer bras.

Stella McCartney, designer of vegan fashion and daughter of Beatles great Sir Paul McCartney, was absolutely horrified to see an ad for Hockley with a model wearing one of her bras and a mink coat.

Strict vegetarian just like dear old dad, she designs cruelty free clothing and is also helping with the revitalization of her late mother, Linda McCartney’s food line.

Stella was obviously furious.

“It goes against everything I stand for,” she told a source.

A little bit of anger and a little bit of threatening with legal action resulted in the ad being pulled.

And who wears their bra showing underneath their coat anyway? Sigh…

Radio Host Don Imus usually makes headlines for something less than pleasant, or at least that’s what it seems like in the past year or two. As we stated before, we will continue to focus on the positive things some bad boy (or bad girl) celebrity is doing.

Located near Ribera, New Mexico, the Imus Ranch, is designed to give the American cowboy experience to children with cancer or blood disorders or have lost a sibling to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

The Ranch serves a strict vegan diet to its little cowboys/cowgirls, and uses cleaning agents that are biodegradeable, non-toxic, and derived from natural sources. The landscaping is also maintained in the absense of pesticides. Don and his wife, Deirdre, are also both vegetarians.

On September 16th, 2008, The Imus Ranch Record will be released featuring artists such as Stevie Nicks, Patty Loveless, and Dwight Yoakam. Proceeds will benefit the ranch. The complete track list is as follows:

1. Silver Springs — Patty Loveless
2. Lay Down Sally — Delbert McClinton
3. Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys — Lucinda Williams
4. You Better Move On — Levon Helm
5. Life Has Its Little Ups And Downs — Raul Malo
6. I Ain’t Never — Little Richard
7. I Don’t See Me In Your Eyes Anymore — Randy Travis
8. You’ve Got To Fight For Your Right To Party — Big & Rich
9. What A Difference A Day Makes — Willie Nelson
10. Give Back The Key To My Heart — Dwight Yoakam
11. What Happened — Bekka Bramlett
12. Welfare Music — John Hiatt
13. A Satisfied Mind — Vince Gill

As promised, we like to bring you oldies but goodies. RZA is an actor, rapper, musician, and producer of the group Wu-Tang Clan. Born Robert Diggs, he uses an awful lot of other names such as Bobby Digital, Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah, Bobby Steels, Rzarector, Abbott, and Prince Rakeem.

A year ago when he was touring in Europe, Time Out took a little time out to ask him questions about his veg lifestyle. He’s created his own veggie burger, the RZA Burger. With all the stars doing their own food lines lately, we’re wondering if the RZA burger can give Boca a run for their money. One catch though: The RZA burger is served on waffles!  While we’re not flocking to the stores to request them, maybe there will be a niche market somewhere.

You’re touring Europe right now with the Wu-Tang Clan. I know you keep a strict vegetarian diet—what are you eating over there?
The Grand Hyatt in Berlin definitely came strong with the spicy rigatoni. Berlin also had a good butternut-squash soup. In the old days it was terrible over here for a vegetarian. Nowadays they stepped their game up, yo. The whole Clan’s been saying it.

What’s a RZA burger?
A RZA burger is a veggie patty with a fried egg, cheese, lettuce, pickles and all that, smashed between two delicious waffles. Spread mustard and mayo on it with a little butter and put that shit together. Trust me, son, that shit needs to be in stores.

I’m sold. Do you bust out the grill on tour?
If I have my special tour bus ready by then, you may be able to get a burger. If I’m on the regular tour bus, then bong bong.

Read the rest of what RZA, Bobby Digital, Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah, Bobby Steels, Rzarector, Abbott, and Prince Rakeem have to say here.

Bollywood actress Jiah Khan is not a vegetarian, but has an interest in becoming one. Lately, she’s been teaming up with PETA to urge people in India not to fly kites with glass coated strings which cut birds while they’re in the sky. Apparently this is popular to do during kite flying festivals like Makar Sakranti and Independence.

Khan dressed up as a bird and held a kite that read “Cut out glass-coated manja, not wings.” Manja, of course, being the word for “string.”

Khan is a lover of animals, which may explain her desire to someday go veg, having both cats and dogs as pets.
