Vegetarian Star

Shanna Moakler has released her vegetarian testimonial and what a cute co-star she has in it! Okay, there are two cute co-stars, one being her child, but there’s a non-human animal co-star named Biscuit getting his/her two seconds of fame as well.

Interestingly, she is the ex-wife of Travis Barker, ex Blink 182 drummer who recently survived a horrible plane crash. Wonder what her thoughts are about his newfound meat eating practices he feels he must take on to heal faster?

Watch Moakler make the connection between the animals in our homes and the ones people eat. “You wouldn’t eat Biscuit,” Moakler says, referring to the talks she has with her daughter about being vegetarian.  No, we wouldn’t eat biscuit, but we’d sure like to dog sit for a day or two!

Things don’t always go as planned, expected, or sanely as desired on the ABC hit television series “Desperate Housewives.” But the ladies of Wisteria Lane manage to entertain viewers every Sunday night with endless family, men, and girlfriend issues.

The latest drama involves Bree (played by the lovely redhead Marcia Cross), her daughter Danielle, and Danielle’s child Ben. Little Ben once lived with Bree and Orson and the two pretended to be his parents while Danielle was out in whatever land. Danielle returned, married and wanted her child back. Now Danielle wants to raise Ben as vegetarian, but Bree isn’t too excited about this. (Not sure when Ben was told who his real mother was, but maybe it was somewhere in between all of that mess.)

Bree, evil as a mother can be, manipulates little Ben into eating a hot dog! (A real one, not soy.) As predicted, Danielle is McSteamed…

Since you stuck around after all of that and are thankful this is TV life and not yours (or maybe it is?), we’re rewarding you with some veg related quotes from the show. Enjoy!

“Since I realized meat is a by product of murder.“ – Danielle answering Bree’s question as to why she is now a vegetarian.

“It’s like tofu, only better.“ – Ben after tasting his first hot dog (ah…the decline of morality in young people these days starts with what’s on the plate)

“You gave him meat and you asked him to lie?“ – Danielle to Bree after seeing pieces of meat in Ben’s vomit. (Shame on Bree, introducing those bad morals on such a young child. Should have known she was going to get caught.)

Rumors have been circulating the web lately that Victoria Beckham, wife of David Beckham, is trying to get pregnant. After hearing her describe her new obsession with grapes, you might wonder if it is part of a special diet to help her conceive. But she’s not attempting child #4 with hubby yet-she just really likes her grapes.

“I just can’t put them down,” she said. “I’m not pregnant, and I’m not trying to get pregnant at the moment,” she said in the November edition of U.K. Glamour.

Yeah! Score one for celebrity veg eating. However…She still needs cooking lessons. If we could only get her to make something other than mince meat, lasagna with meat, and spaghetti Bolognese.

But at least she’s not eating those bangers she wants at her restaurant.

Anne Hathaway recently appeared on the David Letterman show and said she had quit smoking, gone back to her vegetarian ways, and called herself “vaguely vegan.”

A source says she is really into the organic health line Karen & Sisters and loves the “Tokyo soba noodles, dumplings and veggie turkey.”

We searched and searched and for some reason couldn’t find a Karen & Sisters homepage, but we were able to find some nutritional info on other pages. Tofu nuggets, veggie chicken, and BBQ tofu are also items in the repertoire.

With a delicious lineup like that, who needs dairy? Anne may find her vegan vagueness becoming less and less muddled.

Pamela Anderson stole the spotlight for veg celebrities when Kentucky Fried Chicken Canada announced they added a vegan faux chicken option to the menu. She showed up, posed for some nice photographs of her chowing down on one, and said it was “very Canadian.”

Whatever “very Canadian” meant, we’re not sure, but we love Pam, so we’ll keep it at that.

Anyway, other celebrities were a part of the campaign to get KFC to change its ways, including the all veg band Rise Against. They’ve released a new album, Appeal To Reason, and Ugo.com’s music blog asked all kinds of questions about the band, the tour, and their support of PETA.  Of KFC’s decision to offer veg chicken, member Joe Principe said, “It really is amazing that they added that to their menu.”

Some of the guys are into video games, but Joe is afraid he’ll “never leave the house,” if he buys one. He wouldn’t mind having a Wii Fit, though.

If u go to Ugo’s page, you’ll find the entire interview.

Leona Lewis has proved she can’t be bought.

The “X Factor” winner and British chart topping singer turned down an offer of over a million dollars from Harrods Department Store boss Mohammed Fayed to open a summer sale.

Why on earth would a celebrity turn down that much money, you ask?

It’s because the department store sells fur.

Lewis has made her vegetarian lifestyle very public and is even in the process of starting her own line of vegan, cruelty free clothing with Topshop. The World’s Sexiest Vegetarian, voted by PETA fans, doesn’t wear or own any items made with animal products.

It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity who’s publicly acknowledged their beliefs not give in when money talks. Or, in the case of a million, money screaming.

Other female celebrities who have opened sales at Harrods in the past include Eva Longoria, Christina Aguilera, Lucy Liu, and vegetarian who can only cook mince meat Victoria Beckham.

Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker survived a nasty plane crash and thankfully is on his way to a full recovery.

Although he’s normally a vegetarian, he’s temporarily eating meat because he feels it will help him heal faster.

“Because I was a vegetarian, for my first three surgeries, it was hard to get any of my grafts to take to my real skin,” he said. “I have such low levels of protein. I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could [to get better]. They said, ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did.”

While we feel there are plenty of ways to get protein in from non-meat sources, it would be awfully insensitive for us to jump on a man after being in such a horrible crash. So we’ll wish one of our favorite tattooed rockers a speedy recovery when he can once again go back to the veg lifestyle.

There must be something about being a vegetarian and a star that makes you want to try weird food combinations. Or maybe it’s just being vegetarian and a music star.

First, there’s RZA and his veggie burger patty on waffles. Then there’s Chris Walla promoting his veggie sausage with peanut butter. Could it get any worse? Our latest meatless recipe comes from Jason Mraz, who turned to a raw food diet earlier in the spring of this year, which also helped his bandmate, Toca Rivera, shown on the right in the photo, eliminate his symptoms of diabetes.

“Chocomole,” is exactly what it sounds like: Guacamole-like avocado whip with chocolate flavoring. Now it could be that we are just sheltered little blogggers whose food palate is limited by beans and rice and Amy’s Tofu Pot Pies and chocolate guacamole is a happening thing in foodie culture. If chocolate guacamole is a huge part of culture in the region of [insert region we’ve offended] and we don’t know about it, apologies in advance.

Mraz has his own avocado farm with trees that are 25-30 years old and describes his kitchen as sometimes being plentiful of the species, with him washing, eating, and distributing to friends who stop by.

This “chocomole” contraption he describes as chocolate mousse.

“You will freak when you try this chocolate mousse,” Mraz said.

Freak indeed, but hopefully in a good way.

Hop over here for the recipe which includes raw cacao, avocado, and agave nector, to name a few ingredients.
