Vegetarian Star

What does a British boxing promoter who grew up in the Islington part of London in the UK and a drummer in an indie rock/pop punk band from Chicago, Illinois in the United States have in common? Both had a bad experience working around raw meat that turned them vegetarian.

Frank Warren has promoted some heavyweights and heavy names in the boxing sport, including Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton, although his ties with the two were eventually severed. He’s recently signed on some fresh British faces including Beijing gold medallist James DeGale, world champion Frankie Gavin, and Billy Joe Saunders.

At only 15 years of age, he quit school and went to work in a meat market at Smithfield, which incidentally, is not only a meat market area in London, but is also historically known for the executions of heretics and political opponents centuries ago. Looks like animals and humans got bad deals here!

He’s been a vegetarian ever since.

His story is similar to Andy Mrotek, drummer for The Academy Is, who’s experience working as a butcher at Pick N’ Save turned him vegetarian.

Guess these guys got to peer into those glass walls Paul McCartney wants everybody to look through.

So there was a rumor going around that Avril Lavigne craves wheatgrass shots.

While this isn’t true, she does try to get her vegetables in through steaming broccoli and eating other vegetables with vegan sour cream and vegan butter before shows to keep her energy level up.

After a show though, it’s all downhill. According to People, she said, “I’ll eat junk and have a glass of wine. I like French fries and ice cream cones – and [I like] the truck-stop burritos.”

She’s also a sucker for dill pickle-flavored chips her home country of Canada. Good thing too, as it’s probably easier to take these with her on the road as opposed to the pizzas named after her in her hometown.

Nice to know Avril knows how to be both naughty and nice.

While we love Avril eating healthy, and wheatgrass shots are supposedly good and all, somehow it makes you think of the plant you bring home from Whole Foods to give to the cat.

Kid Rock likes his fur. And he’s sick of PETA telling him he should do otherwise. Apparently, their anti-fur campaigns are fightin’ words.

“I want to go to war with PETA. My biggest extravagance is fur coats – I’ve got every kind of animal in my wardrobe,” he told Britain’s Mail.

We think he not only has every animal in his wardrobe, but his own laboratory as well, where he makes hybrid animals when he runs out of ideas. He loves fur and hunting so much, it’s rumored that’s why he and vegan, PETA supporting Pamela Anderson got divorced.

Now, the musician whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, is begging for some action from the animal rights group, hoping he’ll get a little flour thrown in his face soon. Or at least some red paint.

“I’m just willing the animal rights protesters to chuck some red paint on me. I understand people’s problems with it but to throw paint on someone is just wrong.”

Plus, those poor, helpless, actresses are so defenseless and cannot fight off the big bad PETA wolf.

“They do it to little Hollywood actresses who can’t defend themselves,” he said.

When a celebrity is this brazen against animal rights, PETA usually responds by sending them “a nice letter,” and information on why they should change their ways.

Since they have his ex-wife Pamela working for them, things could get nasty. It’s quite possible her theory of why men hunt was conceived during her relationship with him.
