Vegetarian Star

The story we posted about Kristen Bell cooking chicken in her crock pot for her roommates even though she herself is a vegetarian makes for some discussion: Do you think most vegetarians are opposed to cooking meat, even when it’s for someone they know personally? What if a vegetarian had a company or employees to look after? Would all the company parties be veg?

When Heather Mills treated the staff of builders on her Sussex home to a Christmas feast,  the workers were a little disappointed to learn the meal was vegan.

Monster and Critics reported one of them saying, “We couldn’t believe we were getting a slap-up meal. But it’s all strictly vegetarian – they’ve just shaped the stuff to look like turkey. What’s the point of that?”

The workers took it all in good stride, since Heather was at least serving enough alcohol for them to wash the Tofurky taste from their mouths.

“We will choke it down. After all, Heather’s not against alcohol. Apparently there’s going to be plenty to drink.”

Heather is a staunch vegan, so it would have been strange to hear she was serving meat for them. But what about the rest of you? If you were in Heather’s position, or if you were treating a staff of your employees or contractors, would you force the vegginess on them for that meal?

We already told you what watching TV on a Saturday night can bring on (like a horrible parody of Joaquin Phoenix rapping and selling hamburgers), so you’d think we’d learn. But no.

The Dave Chappelle Show, which ran from 2003-2006 on Comedy Central, is syndicated on various television networks.

Dave’s not a known vegetarian, but even an omnivore can go to extremes. Like in this part fantasy, part reality skit where Dave invites you into his home while he cooks dinosaur egg.

The show starts off with Dave opening the door, wearing a reversible coat made of “panda fur” and “snakeskin.”

Upon entering, we see chicken bones hanging from the ceiling.

The final blow comes when Dave removes a dinosaur egg from his refrigerator and starts to scramble it. Remembering he has yet another egg left, he retrieves that one as well, but the dinosaur is starting to hatch before he can crack the egg and cook it. As the baby dinosaur peeks his head out of the egg, Dave excitedly shouts that life is happening right before he takes a pair of cutters and snaps off its head. Nice.

Don’t even get us started on his eating animal penis for a mock episode of “Fear Factor.”

You might find his “Jedi Sex Scandal” video a little funnier.

Serena and Blair may jokingly put down vegetarian food, but Gossip Girl Dreama Walker, who plays Hazel Williams on the show, is now worshiping seitan.

Walker has embarked on a 30 day vegan adventure, motivated partly by her watching the Joaquin Phoenix narrated documentary Earthlings.

So far, Dreama’s enjoying it and says she will probably continue, but does what to experiment to see how her body will react to eating dairy again.

Sounds like Dreama should also pay Rob Sedgwick a visit. She absolutely loves vegan ice cream!

“Its uncanny how much the soy ice cream tastes like real ice cream!!” she exclaimed during her interview with Ecorazzi.

“But, I’m really fascinated by the Tofurky Italian Sausages, and genuinely look forward to my chocolate soy protein shake with rice milk each morning!”

Dreama is taking the vegan thing all the way, giving up her Ugg boots (which are made of sheepskin) and becoming well read on being a Skinny Bitch, the famous vegan diet book by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin.

PETA UK

PETA UK held an early Valentine’s Day treat for the people in London.

Topless ladies, including model Monica Harris, (and one handsome shirtless chap) walked the streets giving out vegan chocolate and roses while urging everyone to “Have a heart,” for ducks and geese by encouraging the ban of foie gras in the UK department store Selfridges.

Foie gras, the delicacy PETA is currently having a contest to see what chef can make a faux version of, is produced when geese are stuffed to excess, causing their livers to swell. According to PETA UK’s blog, this is equivalent to stuffing 45 pounds of pasta down a human’s throat in one day. Seconds of rigatoni are great, but that’s a little extreme.

So the lovely ladies and man passed a car with an older gentleman looking out. Most definitely he’s staring so hard because he is so fascinated by animal rights and is excited to speak out against foie gras too. But because it’s so hard to read someone’s mind, we’d like to know what you think his exact thoughts are. For more pics, visit PETA UK.

No, it’s not a Jack-In-The-Box, it’s Barack-In-The-Box, and he’s asking for our advice.

Or any vegetarian’s advice.

At a recent speech during a Town Hall meeting in Fort Meyers, Florida, The President said he was “open to any idea, whether it comes from a Democrat or a Republican or a vegetarian.”

Looks like we’re a party now. Yippee!

If you recall us telling you, Pamela Anderson gave her advice before he even asked for it, writing him a letter asking him to promote vegetarianism:

“Promote vegetarianism-which would help end world hunger- crack down on factory farming that is killing the environment and slaughtering so many animals- wastefully and carelessly and its unhealthy/and its just impractical- to think this is monitored/regulated effectively…”

She even sent him a book for Christmas.

Now PETA is throwing in their two cents, and have sent him a first class letter to 1600 Pennsylvania. Here’s an excerpt:

“As you know, vegetarian foods have no cholesterol and lots of fiber; meat, eggs, and dairy products contain a lot of cholesterol and have no fiber. No wonder that meateaters are nine times more likely to be obese than vegans are. The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada are among the many health organizations that are reporting that vegetarians have “lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease;… lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer.”

If you were the kind of child who always had to get the last word in the classroom, here’s your opportunity. What advice would you give Obama on running the nation, saving the healthcare system, and making Americans healthier?

And if you want to tell him the best way to make tofu, that’s perfectly alright.

We learned earlier that R.E.M. musicians Michael Stipe and Peter Buck have “code words” for requesting vegetarian food at events.

But it’s not anything new for the Star Me Kitten dudes to speak out when it comes to making sure herbivores have something on the menu for them.

The Grill in Athens, Georgia is a burger and fries, milkshake joint. But when Stipe frequented there in the early 80s when he was a student at the University of Georgia, he made some noise about putting vegetarian items on the menu. It worked and the restaurant still has an extensive vegetarian menu, featuring tofu dogs, fake bacon B.L.T., and veggie wraps.

The Grill is considered a landmark in Athens and has recently turned over its hands to a worker who flipped burgers as an employee for 12 years, Mike Bradshaw, because the most recent previous owner, Jeff Weinberg, didn’t want his joint turning into a Five Guys or Johnny Rockets or other grease fest chain store.

Thank goodness The Grill isn’t losing its veggie religion. There are no plans to change a thing, including the menu.

Celebrities may have tons of money in the bank, but some of them aren’t using it to hire a good wardrobe coordinator, especially a compassionate coordinator.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher currently top the worst dressed list for PETA, in a contest that’s running through March 2nd.

“She may be a cougar, but that’s not helping fur-loving Demi Moore in the eyes of animal lovers,” PETA said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

Demi is the first fur lady, while her husband Ashton comes in second because he was spotted “skulking around Sundance last month wearing a gigantic coat made of coyote fur.”

The competition, which awards the dishonor to celebs who sport every animal in the forest, crowned Aretha Franklin as queen last year with Eva Longoria Parker, Kate Moss, and Lindsay Lohan not far behind her.

Janeane Garofalo has said that although she was a vegetarian for 18 years, she now eats bacon. However, she only eats it about twice a year.

She, along with several other celebrities performed at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary’s Komedy for Karma last night and she took the time to talk to green gossip website Ecorazzi.

E:You were a vegetarian for 18 years…

JG: Right, but I’m no longer a vegetarian.

E: I read that.

JG: I’m a vegetarian except for bacon. The amount of times I eat bacon is negligible though. I’d say I eat bacon once or twice a year. But other than that — no meat at all.

We often like to rag on former vegetarian celebrities and those who “slip” but even activist Alicia Silverstone has said she’d rather have someone be almost vegetarian than a regular meat eater.

Once or twice a year baconator? Not too bad.

Of course, we’ll use this to remind Janeane of the delicious meatless bacon out there, like Lightlife’s Smart Bacon. Taste like the real thing, even meat eaters enjoy it. Try it with as a B.L.T. sometime. When you come back with your belly full of vegan bacon rambling about how you can’t wait for your next sandwich, we won’t say we told you so.
