IFTA (Irish Film And Television )Awards 2008

A list of top vegetarian friendly rehabs has been released by PETA and several of the centers have catered to many celebrities, including Mel Gibson. While we don’t know if any of these celebs actually requested non-meat meals during their tenures, we definitely know where Amy Winehouse’s next stop should be if she decides to go vegetarian. Here’s what she might enjoy:

Passages (California): Hummus, tabouleh, pasta primavera, vegetarian lasagne, wild mushroom pasta, vegetarian tacos and burritos, and veggie burgers. Mel Gibson stayed here.

The Meadows (Arizona): Tofu, veggie burgers, and vegetarian casseroles. Kate Moss, Eric Benet, Mike Tyson, Elle McPherson, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson, Paul Gascoigne, Ron Wood, Kerry Katona, Michael Barrymore, and Whitney Houston have all done rehab time here.

Cottonwood de Tucson (Arizona, yes the The Grand Canyon State has 2 of the favorites!): Baked rigatoni with spinach, wasabi mashed potatoes with snap peas, veggie pizza, veggie fried rice with spring rolls, portobello mushrooms stuffed with polenta, vegetable tostadas, green corn tostadas. Ron Wood, Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell, and Robbie Williams have all said, “Yes, yes, yes,” to here.

For a complete list, go here.

Pet Names For Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla Include “PETA Guy”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 in Bands, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Death Cab For Cutie Play Sydney

Chris Walla is a vegetarian who loves his Amy’s Kitchen Frozen Meals. He’s also done work for PETA and is so passionate about veg issues, his bandmates, Nick Harmer and Jason McGeer have nicknamed him, “The PETA guy.”

And although Nick and Jason are not vegetarian, they follow the Morrissey workforce culture and abstain from meat while on tour.

“We’ll roll that way for an entire tour just because it’s just easier having food brought in or prepared,” Jason said.

“It’s easier to say the whole band is vegetarian because we can eat that, for sure, [but] they [Chris Walla and Ben Gibbard] can’t eat the other options,” Nick added.

Good idea. Not only is it easier for Chris and Ben, but it may just be job security as Morrissey’s crew would be terminated if any burger in their mouth wasn’t Boca.

1,2 Pam Anderson’s Coming For You…7,8 Better Get Veg Straight

Ahh…He’s so cute…I’m going to get him.

This is almost getting kind of creepy. Celebrities who promote meat had better beware: Pamela Anderson will be on you faster than a vegan cheetah who shuns Cheetos.

We all know by now how she feels about Jessica Simpson’s wardrobe preferences and she even sent her written information on how meat is bad for the environment. Her next stop is Matthew McConaughey’s door-or shall we say his freezer.

The southern boy actor and recent father has become a spokesman for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and has done ads urging people to eat more red meat. Not too good.

“He is so cute, how can he do that?” said Anderson. I’m going to send him a letter.”

American Idol 2008 Grand Finale - Arrivals

One of American Idol’s favorite Teddy Bears is enjoying his newlywedness with wife Surata Zuri McCants, whom he married on June 28, 2008. A quote from Go Veg.com reveals where the happy couple might be eating when Surata (or Ruben) doesn’t want to cook:

“My favorite dish is from PF Chang’s: the Buddha’s Feast. It’s hands-down my favorite dish. And the tofu lettuce wraps. My favorite brand now is Morningstar. Anything Morningstar, I love it—except for the sausage links. The patties ain’t bad though. But yesterday I had the fake buffalo wings.”

Maxim Hot 100 Party

Ugly Betty actress Rebecca Romijn is expecting a set of twins with husband Jerry O’Connell and according to Female First, she’s definitely craving soy cheese for three. Hubby O’Connell said:

“Lemonade always has to be in our fridge. That’s my job. Also soy cream cheese. It’s crazy, right? Can’t be cream cheese. Soy cream cheese. Do you know how difficult it is to find soy cream cheese? It’s usually in the corner of the supermarket someplace!”

Hard to find soy products in some supermarkets?! You don’t have to tell us about it. It would be cool if she kept craving soy products after the twins are delivered.

Kristen Bell Disses Spam On Craig Ferguson

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008 in Actresses, Videos.

Craig Ferguson is racking up his vegetarian guest list. We already told you about how Emily Deschanel alleviated his soy boob fears. Hear Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell explain that she’s not into Spam. Not only is it obviously not vegetarian, but unnatural, as Ferguson said, “Ham doesn’t naturally spread itself.”

Morrissey Plays Alexandra Palace

Donald Trump has nothing on him.

Morrissey has made his vegetarian beliefs known publicly in past, but hasn’t always had control over whether everybody else follows them.

That changes will you become employed by him, a former valet said.

Apparently, Morrissey pre-orders vegetarian meals for his crew and will fire anyone caught eating meat on tour.

Wonder if this is similar to smoking bans where you must be so many feet away from campus facilities.

Paul McCartney Performs An Exclusive Gig In London

Although Paul McCartney himself is not a vegan, his ex-wife Heather Mills wants to rear their daughter, Beatrice as one. While divorced couples bicker about almost everything, this is one subject Paul is not interested at all in challenging.

More from the Sainsbury’s Magazine interview, to be on the stands September 4th:

“My youngest daughter is vegan, so I’m often looking for vegan food and I need to know if there’s any dairy products. I prefer to think of it as caring; it’s a good thing, you do it for the right reasons,” he said.
