Vegetarian Star Public Service Announcement: While condoms might reduce the risks associated with hot dogs, the safest hot dog encounter is with a veggie one.

Fall Out Boy’s Andy Hurley’s Recipe For Soy Protein Shake

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 6th, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Recipes.

So Andy Hurley gave Rolling Stone the secrets to a great vegetarian protein shake. But it still might be kind of hard to steal this recipe as he’s kind of vague about the formula:

“About this much vanilla soy milk, up to here with chocolate soy milk, then a scoop of peanut butter, some liquid amino acids to complete the protein.”

Maybe hard to follow, but sure sounds like a winner!

Republican Steak To Democratic Seitan: Nancy Shevell’s 180

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 6th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Nancy Shevell, Paul McCartney's flame at work in Manhattan

Love makes you do a lot of things. Tommy Lee tried to do tofu for Pam, but in the end, he couldn’t control his roving eyes for burgers.

The latest carnivore to be struck by the herbivore love bug is Nancy Shevell, girlfriend of Paul McCartney. Apparently, she is trying to change a few of her ways to make him happier, including abstaining from meat and toning down her “super Republican views.”

A known lover of crocodile-skin bags, she reportedly lived off avocado sandwiches and tomato soup while traveling with Paul and loves to order off the veggie menu now.

Awesome for Shevell. Wonder what her favorite non-meat dish is? One thing is for sure: She’s a smart gal who won’t let another woman, like Mary the little lamb, get in the way of her and her man.

Chrissie Hynde Served Veggie Burgers To Cops

Those who dream big will often have naysayers. Even if you’re an accomplished multi-album producing rock star. Such was the case with Chrissie Hynde when she threw up the idea of a vegan restaurant in the heart of the midwest.

“There wasn’t one vegetarian restaurant in Akron, so I said, ‘I’ll do it,’ and it’s just been a phenomenon,” she said.

“Everybody told me, ‘Don’t do it, it will not work. But I had to do it anyway, because I had to have somewhere I could eat.”

Although she lives in the UK, she frequently stops by Ohio to check up on her chefs, visit family, and of course, get her hands involved with serving customers. At her restaurant, The Vegiterranean’s opening, she even personally served veggie burgers to police officers.

Yeah Chrissie! That sure beats the stereotyped cop fare of donuts and 7-Eleven snack food.

Daryl Hannah Only Puts The Gift Horse On Her Feet

The EMA & E! Golden Green Party - Arrivals

The media loves to hunt for those that appear to be hypocrites. Deceiver.com has made an entire website out of this. So when a known vegetarian actress, supporter of bio-fuel, and all around green activist gal Daryl Hannah was spotted wearing a pair of suede shoes, of course the reporter had to ask.

“They were my mum’s,” she said. “I only wear leather when it’s a gift.”

There. All the (pending) rumors can be squashed.

Shamita Singha Likes It Spicy And Meatless

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 3rd, 2008 in Bollywood, Models, TV Hosts.

Miss India Earth 2001, Zoom VJ, and model Shamita Singha is causing quite a fire with her new ad for PETA. She’s lying in a bed of red chili peppers wearing nothing but…well, red chili peppers.

“I turned vegetarian when I was quite young because I realised that if I really love animals, then I can’t eat them,” she said in an interview with Petadishoom.

Not only does this model not eat animals, she doesn’t use products that are tested on them either.

Funny, we always thought habanera was one of the hottest peppers, until now. This one is definitely off the Scoville Scale.

Chrissie Hynde Wants Las Vegan In Las Vegas

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 3rd, 2008 in Female Musicians, Female Singers.

Chrissie Hynde

Chrissie Hynde is burning the internet URLs lately (a nerd way to describe rising internet popularity) because she’s about to release a new album, Break Up The Concrete, next week.

It would be a disservice to say she doesn’t make fire at any other time though, given her long list of activism and outspokenness on her vegan lifestyle. She sat down to speak with PETA about her experiences with the animal rights movement and plans to expand her vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean in places like Las Vegas and the new Freedom Tower where the old World Trade Center stood.

And did you know that her and Ingrid Newkirk, President and Co-Founder of PETA, have “chilled” and watched movies together at Hynde’s home in the UK?

“I love Ingrid and always urge her to take a break once in a while; I even made her come over to my house in London to chill out and watch a movie,” Hynde said.

“If a small Midwestern town can have a line out the door at a vegan restaurant, it can work anywhere. Times are definitely changing all over. I’d like to expand to Las Vegas so tourists from all over the world can see how great vegan food can be, and of course in LA I’ve read that Freedom Tower in New York City, the new development where the World Trade Centre once stood, is looking for a notable restaurateur. I’d like to throw my hat into the ring.”
