Paul McCartney: Renaissance Man Who Cooks A Mean Veg Lasagna

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 5th, 2009 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Paul McCartney in the West Village

Nancy Shevell will have it made if she finally ties the knot with ex Beatles Sir Paul McCartney. A man who can cook makes the best husband, hands down. 

McCartney was being interviewed by Entertainment Weekly when it was mentioned he’s such as well rounded man-musician who plays most of the instruments on his albums, poet, children’s book author, and artist who drew the artwork for his album.

“Such a renaissance man,” EW suggested. “Can you bake too?”

“Well, I did make a vegetarian lasagna recently, one Linda used to make. I found it in a book in the kitchen and I thought, can I really do this? But I did and it was quite delicious”

Paul has had many years of practice cooking vegetarian since he and late wife Linda’s Christmas without turkey, where they crafted a macaroni and cheese “turkey” in place of the real thing.

Britney Spears Won’t Try To Front With Live Animals

Britney Spears Performs On ABC's

While we’re a little confused as to why Britney would make the circus a theme for her tour, we’re at least glad she’s not using live animals on stage.

Spears caught heat from groups like the Humane Society of The United States not long ago when she used live animals in her music video “Circus.”

If you watch the video below, you’ll see lions and elephants surrounding people. (Again, why the heck bring lions in the studio? Unless, with the economy and all, you’re looking to reduce your staff.)

But thankfully, lions, tigers, or bears won’t be coming to a venue near you along with Britney. In a statement released by Britney’s people:

“We wanted the stage to resemble the design of a three-ring circus where multiple acts can take place simultaneously. While avoiding such traditional circus elements as live animals, we’ve created something innovative and exciting using contortionists, dancers, lighting, fire and other special effects. In the end, we just want fans to experience a unique and thrilling concert with Britney.”

Good job, Britney. Everyone knows you’re still so much a sex kitten, there’s no room for other animals on the stage.

Michael Phelps Pot Incident Sparks Just Say No To Pot Roast

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 5th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports.

Sports News - February 05, 2009

So most of us know by now that Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, who broke a record last year in taking home gold medals was photographed taking a big o’ whiff of marijuana at a party last November.

Anti-drug campaigners have come up with catchy slogans in the past to steer people away from this lifestyle, but People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has found a whole new reason to ask you to “Just Say No To Pot.”

Pot Roast.

“Don’t be a meathead. Kick the habit,” is written next to a cow, with an additional plea to go vegetarian.

“No one knows if marijuana is addictive (although some people swear it is), but eating meat sure seems to be,” the group said on their website. “Witness all the grownups who can’t even contemplate “giving up meat” even when they are fat, impotent, and at risk for a heart attack. And these are the same people who say that they love animals but go right on causing them immense suffering.”

“Maybe Michael will see our billboard and abandon the pot roast too…”

You can bet most ladies would gladly see Phelps take off his clothes in the name of at least an anti-fur ad for the group.

Palin Fires Back At Ashley Judd’s “Extreme Fringe Group”

Nat'l Governors Assn Leaders Brief Press After Meeting With Obama

Sarah Palin is not a woman who sits back and takes it, and much to the disappointment of those who wanted her to go away after the Presidential election, she is one that will remain in the public eye for awhile.

He latest outcry is defending Alaska’s Wildlife Management policies and her approval of aerial wolf hunting.

She scolded the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund for their EyeonPalin.org campaign, which is meant to track what they insist is her record of ignoring scientific evidence in her decisions about wildlife and conservation.

“Alaskans depend on wildlife for food and cultural practices which can’t be sustained when predators are allowed to decimate moose and caribou populations,” Palin said in a statement, supporting her decision on aerial wolf hunting.

She referred to the group as being an “extreme fringe” one, and accused it of distorting the facts of Alaska’s Wildlife management program.

“Shame on the Defenders of Wildlife for twisting the truth in an effort to raise funds from innocent and hard-pressed Americans struggling with these rough economic times.”

Defenders of Wildlife has gotten support from vegetarian actress Ashley Judd, who recently filmed a video voicing her concern for Palin’s policies.

Tegan And Sara Had Their Own Vegan Shoe B*tch

The Tegan and Sara Macbeth Shoes! by Sara and Emy

Pop music twins Tegan and Sara have a nice pair of a new MacBeth vegan shoes out this month and looks like Sara did a little self-promo via a conversation with Emy Storey, the Art Director for the ladies who played a big role in making the shoes, posted on Myspace.

Cute twins, cruelty free shoes shoes-it doesn’t get any happier than this.

Sara and Emy spend a lot of time joking around-like mentioning that Sara sewed all the shoes herself. And spent thousands of hours on them.

“She grew rubber trees and made the soles,” Emy remarks.

“I know you think you’re so funny,” replies Sara sarcastically.

Sara asks Emy what she specifically used for inspiration to make the shoe and after Emy explains, Sara says that basically she listened to them exactly and that makes her a Tegan and Sara shoe bitch.

Love it!
