Vegetarian Star

The former manager of Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood, Nick Cowan, has written a tell all book, Fifty Teabags And A Bottle Of Rum, detailing all the drugs, women, and alcohol you could ever shove into a memoir about a rock and roll band.

There’s juicy info about Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards, but drummer Charlie Watts has an empty chapter on that lifestyle. Known for refusing groupie action on the road and his soberness, he only had a brief period of heavier alcohol and drug use in the mid 80s.

He’s also vegetarian. Some material from the book:

At the hotel the band members retire to their respective suites. Charlie Watts, who is teetotal and vegetarian, settles in for a quiet night after his usual massage.

Mick Jagger has a rendezvous known only to his security man.

Ronnie’s suite is known as party central. All night, every night, the door is open to anyone who wants a drink and more.

Guess you could call Watts the “almost straight-edge sheep” of the otherwise bad boys of the Stones.

Eric Clapton is not a social butterfly. But when he shoots a butterfly, or other creatures perched in trees or roaming on the ground, he gets the boost of what Chardonnay does for the shy and what doctors claim Paxil does for the socially phobic.

“I’m not really that gregarious,” he said, according to Contact Music. “And shooting with groups of people up and down the country has taught me a lot about how to get on with my fellow human beings.”

Unless you shoot with on his way out of office Vice President Dick Cheney. Then, you’re taught a lot about how many different places a bullet can lodge in the body without causing permanent damage.

This is starting to make Pamela Anderson sound like a doctorate candidate now, with her theory that men shoot because there’s something wrong with their own equipment. You can probably guess she was talking about a different gun, but still the elements are there.

Clapton can’t get it on socially, so he hunts for fun to feel good, thus turning him into the life of the backwoods party.

There are a plethora of other activities to help bond with humans, like a nature walk without the shoot ups, an afternoon of watching sports, or even a night at the, ahem, “gentleman’s club.”

But for Clapton, who also co-owns a hunting and fishing supply store, it’s unfortunate he can only get his game on by targeting other game.

Captain Paul Watson is the founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and the main man at the helm of the Steve Irwin boat on the Animal Planet series Whale Wars, a reality show where the crew (which includes actress Daryl Hannah this season) sails the Southern Ocean, attempting to stop Japanese ships from hunting whales.

In an interview with Jason Miller on The Peoples Voice, Watson challenges the common notion that humans are true carnivores because we don’t eat our prey raw.

JM: As a vegan, you have characterized those who continue the practice of eating animal flesh as necrovores (rather than the “carnivores” many proudly claim to be). Please elaborate upon this and tell us what you think it will take to raise humanity’s moral consciousness to the point that a majority of people end their cruel and unnecessary consumption of meat.

Captain Paul Watson: Humans do not eat like carnivores. Carnivores bring down living prey and eat it raw and most predators target the soft organs leaving much of the muscle for scavengers. Humans eat dead flesh and rarely eat the organs, preferring the muscle tissue. Most of the beef that people eat has been dead for months and in many cases for years. The meat is disguised with bleach and dyes in many cases to hide the decay and the fact that the flesh is putrid. We are closer in our eating habits to vultures and jackals than wolves and lions.

Ultimate Fighting Champion Mac Danzig was tired of eating chicken and fish all the time. He wanted to go vegan, but was unsure of how it would affect his performance. So he decided to wait until he finished his athletic career. But an experiment before a Pro Boxing match in 2004 showed he recovered better than he did when eating chicken and fish.  Being the man of reason he is, he continued doing what the data showed was best.

And that’s how it all vegan.

In this video, Mac talks about his diet, his love for Canada (he’s not trying to kiss ass, he assures), and other vegetarian/vegan athletes.

Actor and comedian Jimmy Fallon will be replacing Late Night host Conan O’Brien next spring on March 2nd, and he’s picked The Roots to be his house band.

Scratch, Rahzel, Black Thought, ?uestlove, Hub, and Malik B. all once recorded a video advocating vegetarianism. The band has been through some changes, Black Thought and ?uestlove are the only great men remaining who appeared in that video and it’s not certain whether other band members are vegetarian, but The Roots has generally been thought of, as a veg band.

Incidentally, Kevin Eubanks, a musician on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show, is also a vegetarian, and was voted the sexiest male vegetarian in 2007.

Break out the hummus and pita chips. Late night TV just keeps getting veggier.

Pamela Anderson was presented with a copy of Meat the Truth, a documentary on the effects of the meat industry and the environment she participating in making, at the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam earlier this month.

If you remember us telling you, Anderson wrote a letter giving sex tips to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands before leaving for the trip.

When Al Gore presented An Inconvenient Truth, some say he forgot to highlight an important component for saving the world from global climate change: vegetarianism.

Meat the Truth, by Karen Soeters (Director, Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation) is the documentary that picks up where An Inconvenient Truth left off. According to the creators of Meat the Truth, the livestock industry is responsible for 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions and that’s 40% more than the emissions created by all the cars, trucks, trains, boats and planes added together.

Here’s a fun fact for you frequent fliers: If all Americans would not eat meat for one day a week, it would save 90 million plane tickets from New York to Los Angeles in terms of carbon emissions.

The video below contains more facts as well as a statement made by comedian Bill Maher. Several other celebrities helped make, Meat the Truth, including Maher, James Cromwell, Emily Deschanel, and Hal Sparks.

Actress Kristen Wiig has been around the block quite a few times tickling our funny bone.

It’s her fourth season on Saturday Night Live, but her CV includes Knocked Up, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and most recently, Ghost Town.

Like the rest of us normal humans, she has an insane sweet and junk food tooth that drives her to the likes of Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms, lemon cupcakes, and “hot, melted cheesy sandwiches.”

But she’s only diet naughty once a week. For the other 6 days it’s tofu and jogging in Central Park. We’re not sure about the jogging, but the tofu part doesn’t sound like punishment at all.

From an interview with Women’s Health:

“I live between Central Park and the Hudson River, and those are two great places to walk and run. I also do yoga. A bunch of us have a private class once a week. When I’m working, I try to get something in a couple times a week. I’m a vegetarian; I eat a lot of tofu and soy. I drink a lot of water, and I’m addicted to cranberry juice. I do have a splurge day once a week when I can eat whatever I want. It’s good, because it helps you stay on track the rest of the week. In the beginning, I ate anything I could see. But it’s funny: The more you do it, the less you end up splurging.”
