Quantcast 2008 August 20

Archive for August 20th, 2008

It’s not too late to vote for your favorite veg celebrity for the 2008 Veggie Awards hosted by Veg News magazine. And while you’re at it, you can, cough, cough, make us a write in candidate for best veg blog. No really. We’re not listed, but there’s a beautiful empty box that will allow you to enter your favorite vegetarian blog. Just a suggestion for your veg politics, of course. We’re not radical or anything. But you may think of our write in victory as the Ralph Nador that’s not going to get away.

You could win lunch with Dan Piraro. We heard if you’re really nice, he’ll show his chicken breasts to you.

Some celebs in the running include Alicia Silvertone, Benjamin Zephaniah, and Emily Deschanel for best vegan celebrity. For vegan musicians, Moby, Chrissie Hynde, and Russell Simmons are vying for the title. And Mac Danzig, who thinks PETA is sooo junior high is competing for best vegan athlete.

But there are many other benefits to making us a write-in candidate, such as you winning fake leather bags, and vegan bakery goodies such as chocolate and veg marshmallows in the prize pool.

So take a net trip over there before the end of August, vote for your favorite (subliminal: Vegetarian Star, Vegetarian Star, Vegetarian Star) vegetarian blog, and best of luck in the drawings!

Ellen And Portia Fed Each Other Vegan Wedding Cake

59th Annual Emmy Awards - Arrivals

Longtime sweethearts Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi married in Los Angeles this past weekend.

“What can I say? I’m the luckiest girl in the world,” said DeGeneres to People magazine. “She’s officially off the market. No one else gets her. And now she’ll cook and clean for me.”

Perhaps that cooking will include more tempeh for the happy couple.

Although the two are not vegetarians, Ellen is rumored to have been one in the past and still very supportive about veg issues. Which may be why the two decided on having a completely vegan menu for the wedding reception, including vegan red velvet cake.

You can pick up a copy of People magazine this Friday to see more wedding pics!

Spencer Haywood once told Sports Illustrated magazine that as a vegetarian he eats a lot of “Sad-ass food: sorry proteins, sorry beans”-food he ate while growing up with less means that what he has today. He also takes vitamins and drinks protein shakes all for sake of being able to live long enough to enjoy his legendary glory.

In his professional basketball player days, he served on the Los Angeles Lakers men’s basketball team and helped them win an NBA title, as well as the 1968 Olympic champion U.S. men’s basketball team.
