From Stray Cats To Spayed Cats, Meatloaf Needs Lentils In Name

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 12th, 2009 in Bands.

2009 MusiCares

We’ve already stated our position on asking a man to change his name for a PETA campaign. Now it looks like PETA Jr., or peta2.org, is doing the same thing, and created a list of bands that should change their names from animal unfriendly to friendly ones.

We agree there are some bands out there with names that sound oh so ugly to the vegetarian’s ear. What’s worse is that some of these bands are vegetarian!

Frank Iero, MacBeth vegan shoe boy, is in a band called Leathermouth. Ewww! Peta2 thinks “Pleathermouth” is better for the image. Please pass this on to their agents.

Meatloaf, who at least once dabbled in vegetarianism, could sell more albums to vegans if he called himself “Lentil Loaf.”

The creepiest of all? Cattle Decapitation, a death metal band full of vegetarians, who PETA thinks should rename themselves “Cattle Appreciation.” Cattle Decapitation? We’re with you on that one, PETA!

We can’t forget that caring for animals is just as important as not eating them, and the Stray Cats are overpopulating the music scene. Please takes those guys to the vet, so they can be the “Spayed Cats.”

For the remaining list of bands who should undergo name overhaul, visit peta2.org.

Eva Longoria Turned To A Skinny Bitch When She Got Desperate

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 12th, 2009 in Actresses.

Eleven Spa Vegas' Launch Party

So when you hear that someone like Eva Longoria wants to lose weight, laughter immediately occurs.

Longoria is the tiniest of tiny, but according to a source, the Desperate Housewife recently lost 10 pounds.

We’d like to think it’s because she’s reducing her meat intake, like she vowed for her New Year’s Resolution.

Eva was reportedly really into the vegan diet book, Skinny Bitch, given to her by vegan actress Lake Bell.

Eva is rumored to still eat fish, but has increased the amount of fruits and vegetables in her diet.

Hats off to Eva!

How are your New Year’s Resolutions coming along? Still going strong? Went out the door on January 3rd?

Bar Refaeli Raises Diet Bar And Graces Swimsuit Edition Of SI

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 12th, 2009 in Models.

Sports Illustrated Launches The 2009 Swimsuit Issue in New York City

Update 2/28/09: We are so sad to learn that Bar is NOT a vegetarian. Although a few sources said she was, as of now, we learn she admits to eating a cheeseburger and fries once a week. Boo! 

So salivating men, Bar Refaeli is gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition looking finer than fine!

Leonardo DiCaprio’s got some issues as he keeps making her his on/off girlfriend (currently on), but can’t seem to make up his mind. Or maybe it’s her that can’t decide if she wants to tie all her hotness down to Titanic boy.

At any rate, Refaeli is rumored to be vegetarian. How cool would that be if it’s true?! Lots of sources say she is, but we haven’t found anything confirmed by Bar yet, but be on the lookout and Puh-lease let us know!

We’d love to add this gal to the veg model club with Christie Brinkley.

BTW, those legs come from practicing the discipline of Israeli self defense known as Krav Maga, a huge part of Bar’s fitness routine.

Tobey Maguire And Ruby Enjoy Real Happy Food At Real Food Daily

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 12th, 2009 in Actors, Children, Food & Drink.

**EXCLISUVE** Tobey Maguire spends some quality time with daughter Ruby Sweetheart and a friend in LA

If you crawl up buildings like Spiderman to stalk Tobey Maguire, then you should be crawling along Real Food Daily often, as this man never seems to get enough of it.

The actor who’s expecting another baby with his wife Jennifer Meyer this spring was spotted with his daughter, Ruby, and a friend picking up some food from the vegan restaurant.

Looks like Ruby had a ton of fun!

So awesome that little Ruby is getting to experience healthy eating with dad at such a young age. In a world where kids think a Happy Meal is one of the basic food groups, good to know Ruby’s growing up with the good stuff.

Who Would You: Ellen DeGeneres Or Portia de Rossi

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 in Actresses, Couples, Polls/Surveys, TV Hosts, Who Would You.

Yes, we know it’s cruel to pit spouses against each other, but when it comes to chowing down on a delicious veggie burger, it’s a soy dog eat soy dog world. Both vegan ladies recently had a big birthday bash, Ellen turning 51, and Portia 36. So between the two of them, who would you do…

Andy Serkis Won’t Use Rings Of Force On Children

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 in Actors, Children, Food & Drink.

Andy Serkis is one of those fish eating vegetarians (thanks to playing Gollum while filming Lord of the Rings in New Zealand), who used to be completely vegetarian, but like Diane Keaton, isn’t forcing the lifestyle on his children.

“We [he and his wife] tried to bring our children up vegetarian and it was fine until they start mixing with other kids and going back to the houses and having hot dogs,” he told Babble.

“Rather than kind of going “You’re not going to eat hot dogs,” we said they can wait until they can make their mind up and let them decide where they want to go. It’s kind of pointless to push them at this point. I know that there are great parents who are very good and manage that side of it well, but that’s not the way it’s gone for us.”

At least he and his wife won’t have to worry about raising any Aisha Tylers.

The actor plays a villain named Capricorn who escapes the fantasy world of storybooks and enters reality in his most recent movie Inkheart.

Cybill Shepherd Tried Faking It

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

Rachael Ray Welcomes Cybill Shepherd To Her Show

Recently Bruce Springsteen announced he regrets making a deal with Wal-Mart to exclusively sell his Greatest Hits CD because the company has so many issues with workers’ rights, something he’s long been a champion for.

Springsteen isn’t the first celebrity to sign an inappropriate pact with a company who’s practices differ from their own.

Cybill Shepherd, best known for her role starring alongside Bruce Willis on the ABC 80s drama Moonlighting, agreed to promote eating meat for the Beef Industry Council in back in 1987.

The slogan was  “Real food for real people!” Sounds like someone did a spin-off of that 20 years later when designing the t-shirt Jessica Simpson once wore.

Cybill was removed from the campaign after she admitted she was a vegetarian. 

Hello? Why do the campaign to begin with?
