Who Would You: Pick Your Fall Out Boy

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 in Male Musicians, Male Singers, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Singer Patrick Stump is for those who like submissive types, as he won’t even speak up to get a good vegetarian meal, settling for the mundane salad. Drummer Andy Hurley looks exciting with his tattoos, but truth be told, he’s just a non-eventful straight edge who likes to make up health drinks in his spare time. Blah! But still, which member of Fall Out Boy would you…

Anne Hathaway Similar To Her Princess Diaries Book Character

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 in Actresses, Authors.

The Princess Diaries 2 Royal Engagement Film Premiere

Meg Cabot created the novel series “The Princess Diaries,” from which Disney snatched up and made two hit movies. She recently announced she’s retiring the “Diaries,” and has written the last book of the set. 

When turning books into movies, there’s bound to be discrepancies between the movie and the book, especially when it comes to portraying the characters.

Cabot’s books told a story very similar to the movie: an awkward girl named Mia who suddenly had to deal with the life of royalty, boy troubles, and a highly opinionated best friend named Lilly Moscovitz.

However, Mia from the novel series was a vegetarian who had “slips,” occasionally. Although she’s an animal rights activist who’s passionate about the environment, in the 9th book she becomes disillusioned, stops caring, and starts chomping (on meat).

Ironically, you could say that Anne Hathaway, who portrayed Mia in the movie, also had vegetarian “slips,” here and there, going from vegetarian to eating meat to almost vegan.

Barack’s Daughter Sasha Obama Bringing Veggies To School

US President-elect Barack Obama enjoys shave ice with friends and family in Hawaii

He wanted more vegetables for the children and now it looks like his daughter will be helping to carry out his wish for the entire Washington D.C. area.

Sasha Obama, Barack’s youngest daughter, is attending Sidwell Friends School in D.C. where part of the children’s education is to teach them about helping those less fortunate.

One such program is making soup for Martha’s Table, which according to their website, is designed to “help at-risk children, youth, families and individuals in our community improve their lives by providing educational programs, food, clothing, and enrichment opportunities.”

Sasha will be bringing fresh veggies to school which will be used to make soup that will be delivered to Martha’s Table.

From the Sidwell Friends website:

Each Wednesday, children bring a vegetable from home as their contribution to the makings of a 50 lb. pot of soup. Classes take turns collecting and cutting the vegetables, which are then delivered to Martha’s Table by a parent volunteer. The children are reminded to bring their Wednesday vegetable by painting a magnetic tile to take home to place on their refrigerators.

AFI’s Hunter Burgan Is Cover Boy For MacBeth Vegan Shoes

KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas - Day 1

Not happy with band mate Davey Havok hogging all the vegan fashion spotlight with his Zu Boutique designer clothing, AFI bassist Hunter Burgan has agreed to be the Vegan Ambassador for MacBeth Shoes.

MacBeth has “crowned” him Vegan Ambassador and announced the news that he is designing another vegan shoe for the line.

Wonder if there is serious catty competition among the boys lately?

The Hunter

In a statement, MacBeth said:

“Burgan’s dedication to vegan ideals and his friendship with Macbeth have already helped build the Macbeth Vegan program into what it is today. Burgan will be the face and focus of Macbeth’s Vegan program, involved in all things vegan related, from hosting a new vegan blog to helping with design, and everything in between.”

The shoe, aptly titled, “The Hunter,” was designed to be not only pretty, but functional as well.

“Burgan’s design goal for his second Studio Project was to create a vegan high top that is the perfect marriage between fashion and function. He needs a shoe that provides ankle support for his active live performances, but also wanted something that reflects his sophisticated design aesthetic.”

Burgan’s pretty/practical high top is scheduled to be available globally in February. By then, Davey will have a new T-shirt out and one-upped him.

“Muhammad Ali. He’d probably be vegetarian. He would certainly not eat pork, so I’d probably serve some sort of vegetarian food and I’d have it blessed by every manner of priest by every religion under the sun.”
