Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis Has Own Vegan Chef

Anthony Kiedis Hosts American Eagle Outfitters' New American Music Union - Day Two

At Vegetarian Star, we are natural food voyeurers. So we wonder what our favorite Red Hot Chili Pepper, Anthony Kiedis, gets cooked up for him daily. Suppose we’d have to ask his personal chef, Laura Dakin.

Kiedis hired her last month as a full-time, round the clock vegan chef. Incidentally, this happened shortly after his break up with 3 year girlfriend Heather Christy. Maybe he wasn’t ready for another girlfriend, just someone to do girlfriend cooking duties-ha, ha!

But anyway, we don’t know exactly what Dakin is cooking for Kiedis these days (we can’t find a Kiedis blog-if anyone knows of one, please let us know and help bring food voyeurism to everyone). One of PETA’s 2008 sexiest vegetarians decided to go veg after a doctor recommended it for his son and watching a factory farm video “sealed the deal” as he’s said in interviews.

BFI 51st London Film Festival: Interview Premiere

Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders is quite ambitious. Her goal is to be alive long enough to see McDonald’s burn to the ground. How’s that for a New Year’s resolution?

The rocker, who co-owns a vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, in her hometown of Akron, Ohio, is set to release a new album, Break Up The Concrete, in October. She sat down with Rolling Stone magazine to chit chat about lots of things vegetarian.

Her favorites on the The Vegiterranean menu include gnocchi and the Biker burgers.

“My pledge is that I will remain on this earth until the last McDonald’s has been burned to the ground,” she said.

She also drops some facts like a vegetarian driving a Hummer has less impact on the earth than a meat eater. Go read the story for yourself to find out more.

Yes, Leona Lewis, You Are Releasing A Vegan Fashion Line!

MTV Asia Awards 2008 - Arrivals

A lot of internet talk has been going on about Leona Lewis releasing her own line of cruelty free and vegan clothing. It’s finally official. The British “Bleeding Love,” star will do what Natalie Portman did and what Pamela Anderson wants to do now that she thinks Ugg Boots are Ugg-ly because they contain sheepskin.

On a recent video blog, she said, “I don’t wear leather or any animal products, so I want to bring out a line . . . I’m kind of the real beginning stages of it. I’m not sure when it will be out, but I hope very soon.”

Let’s hope they are as affordable as they are vegan so everyone can enjoy the pleasure of walking around in their own, and not another animal’s skin.

Milwaukee Brewers baseball player Prince Fielder became a vegetarian last spring and took heat from fans telling him to eat steak and praise from those applauding him for veggie brats.

“Fans last year were yelling at me, ‘Hey Prince, eat a salad!’ This year they’re saying, ‘Eat a steak!’” he said in an interview with The New York Times.

Fielder thinks that tofu tastes like a “wet eraser,” and you won’t catch him raving about how he can’t wait to eat the next salad full of 20 different plant based items designed to make salad look and taste good.

“Yeah, I’m a vegetarian — but still, some things are just nasty,” he said. “I like salads. But sometimes, they get too creative. I like regular food, just no meat in it.”

Read the story to learn how Prince finally decided to give a dish with beets a try and what salad he actually did order that day.

Nicole Lapin

Nicole Lapin is a young journalist who anchors CNN.com Live and has appeared on CNN Headline News, CNN, and CNN International. She decided to go into the field after her parents banned her from watching coverage of the Gulf War because they thought it was too negative. What a way to rebel!

She attended Harvard University at only the age of 15 and eventually became valedictorian of her journalism class at Northwestern University.

She’s a vegan, but says no one would ever notice, as she’s not the picky type and can turn almost any situation into one that feeds her and suits the vegetarian lifestyle.

“I’m a vegan. But, no one believes it because when you’re out in the field, most of your meal options involve meat with a side of something fried. But, I’ve learned how to be creative and improvise and can eat anywhere — even a steak house or a gas station.”

Heather Mills donates $1 million worth of veggie burgers

Heather Mills has taken a lot of heat in the media lately from her divorce settlement from Sir Paul McCartney to charities claiming she owes them money to just not being very nice in general. But fortunately, for her and many children living in poverty, she’s making headlines for something good this time.

Mills will be donating $1 million dollars worth of vegan food to children of Hunts Point, a South Bronx neighborhood where many live in poverty. She’ll be making the donation in a ceremony tomorrow in Hunts Point Riverside Park, where she’ll be grilling veggie hot dogs and burgers for Hunts Point Alliance and is set to receive an honorary congressional award from congressman Jose Serrano.
