Who Would You: Mark Ruffalo Or Moby

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 in Actors, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Mark Ruffalo is of Italian descent. Moby lives in New York’s Little Italy. Doesn’t matter where you’re eating, though, ’cause “When in Rome…” you can always adapt, unless you only have Shopska Salad to choose from. Most importantly, who would you..

Boo To Wu: Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot Contains Suede

No thumbs up on this one, RZA.

Most members of the Wu-Tang Clan hip hop group are either vegetarian (RZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Masta Killa) or have been outspoken on animal rights issues in the past (GZA). So when the group collaborated with Fila shoes to produce a shoe with their name branded on it, the Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot, you’d think it’d be cruelty free as well. No such luck.

Along with it’s “molded rubberized vamp, d-ring lacing system and padded ankle collars,” the Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot contains an “oiled suede upper.” Boo to the Wu!

So while we were hoping RZA and his boys would follow the steps of other veggie metrosexual men and associate himself with a vegan shoe, like Frank Iero and his MacBeth’s, he’s let us down this time. This is even grosser than his veggie burger with fried egg on waffles.

Thanks Vegblog

Rise Against Concert Memorabilia Include PETA Pamphlets

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 in Bands.

When you go to a concert, you expect to be able to buy some CDs, posters, and a T-shirt if you have any money left over after beer funds have been allotted. If you go to a Rise Against concert, frontman Tim McIlrath and his boys will give you something for free: PETA Pamphlets containing information on going vegetarian.

“Kids are taking the time to do research on their own after they hear about us being vegetarian,” band member Joe Principe said, in an interview with Mercury News. “We want them to think for themselves, so it’s totally rewarding when they come to that conclusion on their own.”

The same types of brochures convinced Principe to turn vegetarian after reading some PETA literature distributed at a punk concert. All four members of the band Zach Blair, Brandon Barnes, Tim McIlrath, and Joe Principe are vegetarian.

Nicole Kidman Grows Own Organic Veggies

Celebrities Attend Australia Photocall

So lots of celebrities are changing their ways when they have children. Some are even going on the arguably extreme side, like Madonna and her dozens of rules for ex-hubby Guy to follow when the kids visit him.

But overall, celebrity mommies and daddies cleaning up their acts for the little ones is a good thing. And going organic is just one way to do so.

Take Nicole Kidman, for example. She grows her own organic vegetables. Gwyneth Paltrow has stated she prefers organic and natural food, which may mean the actress who claims to be vegetarian raises her own turkeys in her backyard, ha, ha. And couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have been spotted shopping for organic produce.

View a photo gallery of celebs who are doing organics for the children.

Erykah Badu - Atlanta Concert

“I do holistic healing and health…I grow my own herbs, dry them and bottle them. I’m learning from trial and error as I go along. With my first child I made some mistakes with the holistic stuff. Puma my daughter she’s my second child, they’re both vegan vegetarians, organic babies from birth, natural births at home. I guess I’ve grown into being a vegan vegetarian.”

Paul McCartney Cooks Mashed Potatoes While Fighting Glovey

Celebs at Stella McCartney Fashion Show - Paris

Move over Gordon Ramsay. Paul McCartney has officially scored another point in the Ramsay-McCartney meatoff, showing he can cook too. And amazingly, he used no profanity. Not even during his fight with Glovey.

Watch the video showing Paul McCartney teaching you how to make homemade mashed potatoes his way-from scratch! He advocates using non-hydrogenated margarine because it’s healthier, but says the amount you put in depends on how “naughty,” you want to be.

This recipe is taken from his late wife, Linda’s cookbook. Here’s a link to a couple of other recipes from her book.

This can be veganized as Paul says you can use soymilk in place of regular milk. Pay extra attention at minute 4:00 when Paul gets into a scuffle with his oven glove, Glovey.
