Vegetarian Star

Some cool celebrities were part of the lineup for Farm Aid 2008, an event thrown together by none other than the organization, Farm Aid, which is designed to help raise awareness for small family farms and keep them alive in the age of mass commercial farming and production.

Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, and John Mellencamp rocked fans at the event sponsored mainly by Whole Foods and Horizon Organic, with a little help from a few other veg friendly companies like Silk Soy Products, as well as Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde. Never failing to remind anyone in ear’s reach she is a vegan, Chrissie saw the opportunity to get the word out and wore a “Tax-Meat” t-shirt to the event.

If you’re a sucker for awesome live music and interested in viewing the webcast of the concert, hop on over to this site and enjoy.

This man deserves a vegan, eco-friendly bowling bag!

Alec Baldwin has been what Susan Lucci was for Hollywood awards for a long time: Always nominated, never won. That changed a few nights ago when he won his very first Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for “30 Rock.”

Break out the wine and vegan cheese!

Baldwin has played both lead and supportive roles in several veggie films, including “Meet Your Meat,” PETA’s documentation of slaughterhouse conditions, hosting the premier of Blinders, a documentary on the negative effects of horse drawn carriages, as well as a public service announcement for PETA on behalf of animals used in the entertainment industry.

Congrats to Alec, and continue with the good work!

Terence Gerchberg and Sarah Leshner are one of the 11 couples who will compete for $1 million in the CBS reality TV show, The Amazing Race, which premiers Sunday, September 28th.

According to cbs.com, the two have been a pair for almost a year and are quite the example of opposites attract. Sarah is an MBA holding financial analyst on Wall Street while Terence is a running coach who sells real estate on the side to make some extra dough. Sarah is low maintenance, while Terence is emotional.  It’s a good thing this is The Amazing Race and not Survivor as Terence wouldn’t be too found of eating roasted rats. Sarah eats meat, but keeps kosher, Terence doesn’t eat any meat at all.

The Amazing Race pairs people who already have an existing relationship and sends them around the world via various modes of transportation to hunt for clues about their next destination. It’s literally a “race” to get there before the other couple does to avoid the risk of elimination. This is done in addition to performing various tasks that are often culturally related to the country they’re visiting. This season’s show was filmed last spring and contestants traveled 30,000 miles across five continents in 23 days, making stops in cities like Cambodia and Kazakhstan.
