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?”

Read more about his “F*** Ted Nugent”, song, bashing Jennifer Lopez’s furry eyelashes, and his response on people thinking Goldfinger is a militant animal rights activist band.

Chelsea Clinton’s Veg Rebellion

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, October 7th, 2008 in Politicians.

The School Of American Ballet Hosts The Third Annual Winter Ball

Such an innocent, sweet face and demeanor. How could an angel possibly rebel?

There are a lot of ways to rise against the ‘rents, some worse than others. Chelsea Clinton decided to show mom Hillary who was the pre-teen boss by coming home one day and refusing to eat meat.

“…I got home when I was 11 and just declared I was no longer eating meat,” she said earlier in the year when she was on the road with her mother.

Her response was directed to a fellow vegan audience member she met at a campaign stop, according to the New York Post.

Hillary took the “if you’re going to do it, do it nutritiously,” approach to her daughter’s declaration of food independence and demanded Chelsea learn to cook for herself and complete lessons from the white house chefs.

We heard Chelsea’s favorite summertime veg treat is grilled onions. Bet Hillary and Bill didn’t mind this either, as it probably helped to keep the boys, Republican or Democrat, at bay.

Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump Stiffed On Veggie Options

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, October 7th, 2008 in Bands, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

He should have just brought a cooler and made the shake Andy Hurley recommends.

Fall Out Boys Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump decided to have lunch with editor-in-chief of Blender magazine Joe Levy. It took them a long time to make up their minds, but in the end, they chose Keens Steakhouse where Stump ended up getting completely cheated on a good meal. He’s vegetarian so he had to eat a salad.

Stump didn’t mention it before the two grabbed some grub. Maybe he didn’t want to sound like a pain. Here’s the thing, though. They all ate salads. There have been rumors of Wentz being an on again off again vegetarian, but it doesn’t appear that Levy is. Maybe they were trying to be polite?

One thing’s certain: Out of all the places in New York to eat, there were definitely better options where both carnivores and a veg rocker could agree upon than a steakhouse serving rabbit leaves.

Looks like everyone, including Stump, got stiffed!

Fall Out Boy’s Andy Hurley’s Recipe For Soy Protein Shake

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 6th, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Recipes.

So Andy Hurley gave Rolling Stone the secrets to a great vegetarian protein shake. But it still might be kind of hard to steal this recipe as he’s kind of vague about the formula:

“About this much vanilla soy milk, up to here with chocolate soy milk, then a scoop of peanut butter, some liquid amino acids to complete the protein.”

Maybe hard to follow, but sure sounds like a winner!

Republican Steak To Democratic Seitan: Nancy Shevell’s 180

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 6th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Nancy Shevell, Paul McCartney's flame at work in Manhattan

Love makes you do a lot of things. Tommy Lee tried to do tofu for Pam, but in the end, he couldn’t control his roving eyes for burgers.

The latest carnivore to be struck by the herbivore love bug is Nancy Shevell, girlfriend of Paul McCartney. Apparently, she is trying to change a few of her ways to make him happier, including abstaining from meat and toning down her “super Republican views.”

A known lover of crocodile-skin bags, she reportedly lived off avocado sandwiches and tomato soup while traveling with Paul and loves to order off the veggie menu now.

Awesome for Shevell. Wonder what her favorite non-meat dish is? One thing is for sure: She’s a smart gal who won’t let another woman, like Mary the little lamb, get in the way of her and her man.
