Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, November 15th, 2008 in TV Hosts.

Glamour Woman Of The Year Awards - Arrivals

The UK based music talent search competition, “X Factor,” has some judges on the panel who know how to judge a good diet when they see one.

Danii Minogue, follows a strict organic diet that excludes meat and dairy. And fellow judge Cheryl Cole also follows a mostly vegetarian diet, but eats seafood here and there. For Cole, miso soup and edamame beans have the X factor.

If you remember us telling you, Simon Cowell, king of judging mean and creator of “X Factor” (along with creating the popular series “American Idol”) once tried a vegetarian diet for a week and reported he could not get enough of Linda McCartney’s vegetarian sausages.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, November 15th, 2008 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Recipes.

Peace One Day - Stage Performances

Rachael Ray is really feeling some love from vegetarians and vegans lately.

First, we learned of how her brand new cookbook that she calls BOB, features an entire chapter of recipes devoted to meatless cooking.

Now, she’s featuring vegan musician Bryan Adams’ favorite juice recipe in the December ’08/January ’09 issue of Everyday With Rachael Ray.

Adams must stock up on a lot of pineapples, ginger, and peaches when he goes to the grocery store.

Best of all, the Pineapple-Ginger Juice recipe is completely sweetened by nature.

May we suggest drinking this to wash down your Thanksgiving Tofurky feast this year?

Meatless Mouthful: Vegan Moby Doesn’t Judge Meat Eaters

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, November 15th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers, Meatless Mouthful.

2008 Woodies Awards are presented in New York

“When I was about 18 years old, I had this realization — I’ve always loved animals, I love my dog, I love my cat — and I had this simple realization that I wouldn’t want to be involved with anything that would cause my dog to suffer, therefore I shouldn’t be involved in anything that causes other animals to suffer. That led me to be a vegan.”

“I do try to be a nonjudgmental vegan, so if someone chooses to eat meat that’s their choice, just for myself and keeping my conscience relatively clear, I choose not to.”


—-Moby, in an interview with Pelly Twins. He does a lot of work with the Humane Society because he thinks they’re, “really effective legislators.”

“If you’re a vegetarian, you could not go to a better place in the world. I’m not a vegetarian, but it is wonderful, and there’s more choice there than anywhere, because it’s a vegetarian nation, although they do eat meats. That food is extraordinary.”
—-Danny Boyle, in an interview with Black Book Mag. Boyle was the director for the movie, Trainspotting, and well as his new cinema project, Slumdog Millionaire, about a young, poor Indian boy who gets a slot on a gameshow.

Write To Jason Mraz On Poop Paper Only Please

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 14th, 2008 in Environment-Eco-Green, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Videos.

Jason Mraz likes to lessen the environmental impact on his body by following a vegan raw food diet, as you’ll hear him mention in this video. We’re sure this includes lots of avocados from his farm. You’ll also learn how he’d much rather you write to him on recycled paper made from, ahem, animal poop. It’s much better for the environment.

Terri Nunn Of 80’s Band Berlin Sick Of Sick Meat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 14th, 2008 in Female Singers, Food & Drink.

11th Annual Lili Claire Foundation Benefit

Remember Terri Nunn? Remember the 80’s group Berlin?

We have a diverse group of readers. Some of you might have rocked out with them. Some of your parents might have rocked out with them. Still, some of you may have been conceived to them.

Terri Nunn is the lead singer who sang the popular song, “Take My Breath Away,” (go ahead and have an 80s flashback and listen) on the Top Gun Soundtrack (which a very young pre-Oprah couch jumping Tom Cruise starred in).

She’s been a vegetarian since her late teens, turning to the lifestyle to cure what years of eating junk did that doctors couldn’t fix.

She has been named one of VH1’s Greatest Women in Rock and has been grouped with all the great female rockers like Joan Jett and Chrissie Hynde (who similarly don’t eat meat). Still taking everybody’s breath away after over two decades, she spoke with Las The Place not only about her CD coming out next year, but her feelings about how the government judges the quality of the meat that arrives at your supermarket.

“The main reason I don’t eat meat is because you find out in your studies that the factory farming of animals creates very sick animals. It’s so bad nowadays that the USDA no longer grades IF the animals are sick, it grades how sick they are. Isn’t THAT sick?…I’m thrilled about Proposition 2 passing here in California last week! That’s a healthy step forward, not just for the animals but for the people who eat them.”

“There are so many great soy products out there now, from hot dogs to meat substitutes. Even my kids like them!”

To learn about the fitness routine that keeps her looking like she did in the 80s, go to Las The Place to read the entire interview.
