Clint Eastwood Has Vegan WTF Moment

Clint Eastwood has appeared on one of PETA’s Go Veg brochures with the quote attributed to him, “I try to stick to a vegan diet heavy on fruit, vegetables, tofu, and other soy products.”

Um…no, not really. In a recent interview with the New York Times, he stated he is not and has never been a vegan and looked rather disturbed when he was told what a vegan was, as if being a vegan was equivalent to castration.

“I never look at the Internet for just that reason,” he said.

Understandable. If you’re a celebrity it may be painful to read some of the stuff written about you. Just imagine what would have happened if Clint read his was a raw foodist!

The rumor that Eastwood is a vegan has shown up in a lot of places, including Wikipedia and other vegetarian and vegan sites.

But don’t let this tarnish your visions that there aren’t tons of vegan celebs out there, including the macho manly ones like Eastwood.

Ultimate fighter Mac Danzig can still kick carnivore butt. And since his girlfriend does a lot of cooking for him, it’s safe to say he’s far from being castrated.

Morrissey Ready To Eat His, Um, You Know

Morrissey Plays Alexandra Palace

Gossip has been taking place over the internet for some time about the 80s English Rock band The Smiths reforming for a reunion. But Morrissey has in the past denied having a happily ever after renewal of vows with Johnny Marr and the others.

“I’d rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths – and that’s saying something coming from a vegetarian,” he was once quoted as saying.

Wonder if he likes barbecue or sweet and sour with those jewels?

Before we gross you out even more with our junior high school humor, we should tell you that a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper:

“The very fact they are talking again is the most hopeful thing in years. The industry has been buoyant with talk of them getting back together.

“A lot of people think of them as the best thing since The Beatles. They’d fill stadiums many times over.”

Reforming could be a good thing for Morrissey, who is so strict about his diet he even prohibits his employees from eating meat while on tour.

There’s power in numbers. With Johnny and and his entire band backing him up singing Meat Is Murder, Morrissey might get his wish to have the beef and pork selling food booths turned into tofu kabob ones.

Chrissie Hynde Finds Singing Hard When Smelling Burnt Flesh

The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde has never been one to keep her mouth shut, especially when it comes to her veganism and animal rights views.

One day she was performing at a concert with Neil Young when she expressed her disgust with the aroma coming from the venue’s concession stands.

“I’m trying very hard not to say anything about the fact that all I can smell is burning flesh,” she was quoted as saying.

There are a lot of bad things you can smell at a concert-too much beer ,cigarette stench, and B.O. For the vegetarian, add the neighbor in the next seat’s fried chicken fingers to that list.

Hynde may not be able to avoid the smell of burnt animal flesh at concert venues, but she’s trying hard to make sure dead animal is not roasting backstage. She has expressed her preference not to tour with meat eaters so she doesn’t have to share the catering with them.
