The X Factor Series IV - Open Audition

“Linda McCartney sausages were my favourite. They’re much better than eating real sausages and you don’t have to contemplate half way through exactly what’s inside them… You can have them, a bit of fried bread, tinned tomatoes. Delicious.”

—–Simon Cowell, American Idol Judge, after he went on a vegetarian diet for a week. The King of Mean does have nice things to say every once in awhile. While Paula may have smiled and said it was their best performance, Randy would definitely have said, “Aw…those veggie sausages were alright, dawg!”

McCartney McSteamed At McDonald’s

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 8th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Arrgh! Didn’t I tell them it was “Let It Be,” not “Let It Beef!”

People should know by now not to mess with the McCartneys. Not long ago, Stella threw a fit over an ad showing one of her vegan designs in a very compromised furry position. Now, a less than vegetarian friendly company has angered papa McCartney as well.

Walk into a Liverpool McDonald’s (not that any of you would, of course) and you might find some pictures of a very young Paul, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison on the wall. For some sightseeing without the daytripping, go here to view a sample picture.

McCartney, a vegetarian, is obviously not too thrilled with this and his spokesperson, Geoff Baker, has made a few choice statements about McDonald’s actions:

“What sort of morons do McDonald’s think Beatles fans are?”

Well said.

“It’s ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonald’s — and not just in Liverpool.”

Point made even better.

Goldfinger’s John Feldmann Holds Lobster Liberation Parties

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 8th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

goldfinger_live_2006 John Feldmann, also known as “Feldy,” of the band, Goldfinger, is an outspoken vegan and animal rights activist. In fact, he may have been too outspoken for the FBI once, as they raided his home on suspicions of his role with an incident involving Animal Liberation Front, an animal rights group known for making statements in a radical fashion. He later sued for them putting his home in disarray and snatching his possessions and won.

When he throws parties, they’re big. To the sum of 110 guest or more. Did we forget to mention most of the guests are lobsters?

“We’ve done a couple lobster liberations; one in Hawaii, two in Boston, and one in Maine. I saw a tank of lobsters and I said, “I could do something about this right now.” We took all the lobsters and put them back in the ocean. Because of shock, I’m sure a lot of them died. Even if only one or two of them lived, it’s a better chance of survival than in the tank at the grocery store. I saw the lobsters in there and what could I do?”
