Vegetarian Star

Victoria Beckham may have made a pact with the devil. The carnivore devil, that is. Beckham, a vegetarian, is opening a restaurant in Los Angeles with celebrity chef, Hell’s kitchen, and Kitchen Nightmare’s Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay is not exactly known for his love of vegetarians and it doesn’t look like the menu will reflect anything different.

Ramsay told the Daily Mirror, “Yes, it is true that Victoria and I are setting up a restaurant in LA together. I’m really excited. She’s really keen to focus on a traditional English-style menu, like bangers and mash, fish and chips and such like.”

What the heck are bangers? We asked ourselves this question and did some digging. Bangers are sausages made from pork or beef with apple or tomato seasoning. Uh, no thanks. Mash, of course, being mashed potatoes. Not too bad. Any chance of getting a Morningstar Farms version of Bangers and Mash on the menu?

A few days ago, you learned how Nellie Mckay thinks being a vegan is a pain in the ass. While she doesn’t speak for everyone, there are other musicians that agree it’s not always easy to eat well while on tour. Andrew McMahon of Jack’s Mannequin, and Something Corporate, both piano rock bands out of California, decided to go veg for his most recent tour. He admits he’s no food “saint.”

“It’s still a rock and roll tour, there’s an element of unhealthy living but I think truthfully like, especially considering what, you know that I got sick while I was in the middle of a tour, you know I try my best,” he said.

“We don’t finish a night and get plastered every other night, you know what I mean? But we’re not saints either. Actually I became a vegetarian during this tour, which is a hard battle to fight. But I try and go to the gym three times a week and work out every morning, push ups and sit ups and do my best to eat out. You’ll have a day where it’s pizza all day and then you’ll have a day like okay I’ve got to tailor it back. You just gotta, you learn to walk a line out here.”

All computer nerds (including us) are forever indebted to Steve Jobs for helping to start the wave of successful personal computers by co-founding Apple Inc.. Without him, we wouldn’t have an encyclopedia of igadgets or those hilarious commercials of PC trying to trap students with a pizza box to prevent them from buying a Mac.

Much ado about nothing took place a few weeks ago, over an obituary mistakenly published when in fact, Jobs was very much alive and well.  There had been internet speculations of his health and some said he was becoming too thin. He had a bout with pancreatic cancer in the past, and was reported to have been reluctant to try traditional treatments, due to his Buddhist and vegetarian beliefs. (Some sources say he calls himself a pescetarian.) He eventually chose to pursue mainstream medicine and was cured of the disease.

But Jobs has made health waves in the past. He’s the former CEO of Pixar Animation Studios and took the helm around the time when Disney chose not to renew it’s agreement with McDonald’s, allowing the fast food giant to put Disney characters as toys in Happy Meals. In a press conference, he was quoted as saying, “”there is value” (in fast-food tie-ins) “but there are also some concerns, as our society becomes more conscious of some of the implications of fast food.”

With the sedentary and junk food lifestyles becoming more common, those at office and computer jobs may be at higher risk of succumbing to them and all the associated health problems.  We think it’s fantastic that the alpha computer iNerd is all about promoting the healthy way of life.

We bet you 100 bucks we know who Pamela Anderson is voting for this November. Or at least who she’s not voting for.

Anderson was in Toronto speaking out against animal abuse in Hollywood when she was asked what she thought of Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin. The reporter mentioned the Newsweek article which pictured a bear hide in Palin’s home office. Palin has also made it known she is an avid hunter.

“I can’t stand her,” Anderson said. “She can suck it!”

Ah, good old vegetarian Pammy is back again, never failing to tell anyone who disagrees with her beliefs how she really feels. Fellow hollywood star Matt Damon has been a little more polite about it. He just thinks Palin’s absurd.

Actress Jorja Fox took a break from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in 2007, but she’ll be back for a few special episodes this fall. (Pause for fans cheering and screaming.) A quote from the vegetarian of 20 years about vegetarianism and the environment at the Animal Acres Farm Sanctuary Gala:

“I’ve been a vegetarian for a very long time, and this place, I think, exemplifies so many ways the microcosm of the macrocosm of the microcosm. If you can spend a little time with these creatures, you can connect them again to animals that you love, which I think helps everybody remember the importance of treating them humanely and with dignity. These are, you know, the lucky animals that have fallen off the backs of trucks and stuff. If you want to help the environment, go vegetarian.”

Conor Oberst has been a busy man, musically. Although he may be best known for his work with the group Bright Eyes, he’s also been involved with Desaparecidos, Norman Bailer, Commander Venus, Park Ave., and Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band. He performed in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska for an Obama rally earlier this year.

He’s been vegetarian, vegan, and even a pescetarian (vegetarian who eats fish) and was involved with PETA. Here’s a video, if you’re interested.

He sat down to talk to a journalist while grabbing a bite of a veggie burger and explained that while his songs have been called “confessional,” he tells not only his business but everybody else’s as well. Yikes! Remind us not to tell him anything too personal.

“I’ll always draw from my experiences because that’s the material that’s most readily available. But I don’t make any bones about drawing from other people’s experiences. Also, when I write a song, the pronoun is really not important. I’ll even forget sometimes and sing the wrong pronoun, whether it’s she or he or it or I or you. Because they’re all interchangeable. It’s what comes after that, the rest of the line – that’s where the truth is going to be.”

Award winning actress, director, and producer Diane Keaton made her film debut in the 70s as Kay Adams in The Godfather and she’s been making us laugh for decades with her roles in movies such as Father of The Bride, The First Wives Club, and Something’s Gotta Give. In the past 3 years, she’s also gotten on the blogging bandwagon and contributed to The Huffington Post.

Although she’s a a vegetarian, she’s not making her two children, Duke and Dexter, go that route.

“No, no. I’m not doing that to them,” she told Parade Magazine. “I’m sure, once they grow up, they’ll be going, “What an eccentric human being, this mother of ours.”

While we were hoping she’d keep it all in the family, who knows? Maybe they’ll take after mom once they become adults. It may be for the best. We already saw the tragedy of how Aisha Tyler rebelled when mom and dad packed her tofu for lunch.
