Carrie Underwood Wants V-Day Home Cooked Vegetarian Meal

51st Annual Grammy Awards - Press Room

Valentine’s Day is approaching and if you haven’t bought your sweetie something nice or planned for the evening, it’s time to get moving.

Carrie Underwood, being the competitive go getter she is, had no problem spelling it out as to what she wanted for Valentine’s Day, according to KBS Radio.

“It’s nice to go out, occasionally, but it’s nice to stay in, too. I’m more of a stay-in, probably, kind of girl. And I’ve never had a guy cook for me. So I think it’d be really awesome if the guy just kind of, you know, put a lot of thought into it. . . made the atmosphere nice. Maybe light some candles or make some decorations or something to sit around, and make me a good meal, a home-cooked meal.”

“I’m a vegetarian, too, so you’d know, it’d be like he went through some thought and looked up a recipe that he figured I would like, and you know, complete with dessert, of course.”

Is she dropping a big hint to Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher, the latest male candy she’s been romantically linked to?

Model Melinda Messenger Proves Ice Makes You Hot

UK Film Premiere: Valkyrie - Arrivals

Suzanne Shaw is not the only Dancing on Ice contestant that knows a veggie diet’s good.

Model Melinda Messenger told the Swindon Advertiser how she’s dropped four dress sizes since she’s started her training for “Dancing on Ice”, a TV show in the UK where contestants do just that-dance in ice skates in the rink for the judges.

“I have never felt so physically fit and healthy, my skin is firmed and toned and I feel as though I have my 18-year-old body back,” Messenger said.

The grueling routine requires a top notch diet and Messenger stocks up on vegetarian foods like pasta, potatoes, and noodles when she’s training.

“I am a vegetarian so lots of healthy veg is great for keeping in shape.”

In a crazy world where people fear carbohydrates, it’s good to know Melinda recognizes keeping good complex carbs meat free is the secret to unlocking energy and staying fit.

Next time you’re hungry, follow Melinda’s direction and have some meatless meatballs over your spaghetti.

Jamie Foxx's Album Launch And Birthday Celebration

If vegetarians do have better sex, as claimed by PETA’s rejected Super Bowl ad, then hot romance novel model Cindy Guyer is living proof.

She has appeared on the cover of steamy books like Hostage Heart, The Outlaw Viking and Deliciously Wicked.

Although Cindy is the picture of romance for others, the vegetarian once dubbed as the “female fabio” still hasn’t found the love of her life, but has been romantically linked to Corey Haim in the past. Her divorce to well known construction executive Andrew Catapano is also in the making.

The super sexy cover girl was recently featured in the New York Post  for the decor of her apartment, an 1,800-square-foot, two-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom pad on the city’s Upper East Side worth $2.5 million.

Some Fans Wouldn’t Read Carrie Underwood’s Food Journal

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

51st Annual Grammy Awards - Arrivals

Carrie Underwood was recently profiled on That’s Fit for her healthy eating habits and exercise routine.

Miss Underwood has been a vegetarian since 13 years of age, does a lot of cardio to stay fit, and practices what she calls “obsessive” food journaling, according to an interview with Glamour magazine.

Food journals are way people document what they’ve eaten and the nutritional content, cravings that come and go, and situations that made them eat more or less on a certain day.

While private journals of celebrities make for juicy reading info, you can bet if Carrie decided to publish hers, it wouldn’t sell well at bookstores in some states.

She said before that she’s learned to keep her vegetarianism to herself because in some parts of the country, when she’s announced she is one on stage during her performances, she gets booed.

Kristen Bell Likes Her Crock Pot

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

The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards - InStyle/Warner Bros. After Party - Arrivals

Actress Kristen Bell is really excited about the upcoming release of a new movie she’s in, Fanboys, where she plays a fanatic Star Wars fan.

But maybe not as excited as she is to cook with her crock pot.

The vegetarian actress revealed in an interview with Fandango that she’s even cooking meat…gasp…in it. Not to worry too much, as Kristen’s still veg all the way, but cooked something for her roommates:

“I’ve been really into using the crock pot lately, which is amazing because you can put anything fresh or frozen in there and it cooks for 10 hours and you have a stew. It’s fantastic! I actually cooked meat for the first time the other day. I made a dish that was somehow fried chicken with Italian dressing and A1 sauce. It was so weird and the reviews were stellar—I made it for my roommates and they really liked it. I didn’t eat it, but I figure it’s about time I learned to cook it.”

C’mom Kristen! Show your roommates how to really use that crock pot and cook up some veggie stews to serve alongside some seitan steak.

Wonder why she felt it was time to learn to cook meat? Does she anticipate having to cook meat for a future husband like Victoria Beckham does?

2008 Summer TCA Tour - Day 3

If you followed the Whale Wars series on Animal Planet, you know Captain Paul Watson and his crew on the Steve Irwin ship, which included actress Daryl Hannah, used prank-like tactics to throw off the whalers to try to keep them from killing whales in what they claim is for research purposes, including throwing rancid stink butter bombs at the ship.

Now, the whalers have fought back. After the Steve Irwin collided with the Japanese whaler ship, the hunters decided to get even by throwing chunks of bloodied whale and whale fat at the Captain and his crew.

Interestingly enough, if the whales are captured for research purposes, why are the whalers throwing away good study material? If they’re allowed to capture them, surely they’d find a good use for the materials besides blubber bombs. 

Captain Watson claims the collision was accidental. Japanese whalers say otherwise. Take a look and tell us what you think.

CNN’s Showbiz Tonight Gets In On Judd-Palin Debate

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, February 9th, 2009 in Actresses, Politicians, Videos.

The Ashley Judd vs. Sarah Palin feud now has a third party jumping in. CNN has featured a clip from Showbiz Tonight with several people weighing in on the debate, but it looks as though they’re all weighted down on Palin’s side.

Recap: Sarah Palin thinks Alaskans should be able to shoot wolves from a plane. Ashley Judd says no. Ashley teams up with Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund to record a video, helping to give the group publicity as they keep adding details to their “list” of the decisions Palin has made regarding the environment and animals. Sarah Palin calls them “extreme.” Judd get on Larry King Live to further discuss Palin’s record. Even The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck throws her two cents in

Sit back and take in the latest discussion, folks. Gotta feeling there’s much more to come.

Lance Bass Should Say “Bye, Bye, Bye” To Last Name?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, February 9th, 2009 in Male Musicians.

2008 American Music Awards - Portraits

This is one of the reasons PETA gets a bad rep with people.

Out of good intentions, the group has jokingly suggested that former ‘N Sync singer and “Dancing With the Stars” contestant Lance Bass change his last name from “Bass” to “Sea Kitten.”

You see, bass is a type of fish, and since PETA is doing much to promote their Sea Kitten campaign meant to increase awareness that seafood is as full of life as other animals (and shouldn’t be eaten), it has suggested that Lance changing his name would do much for the campaign.

“Not content with the reams of newsprint that have already been dedicated to our Save the Sea Kittens campaign, we’re going for a little more face time for our finned friends by asking Lance Bass, the former ‘N Sync singer and “Dancing With the Stars” alum, to change his last name from “Bass” to “Sea Kitten.” We hope Lance goes for it hook, line, ‘N Sync-er. (Badump-bump.)”

Groan!

Sure, it’s meant to be humorous, but doesn’t PETA have better things to do with their time? How does this further animal rights? Asking a man to change his name is like sending him to the vet for an irreversible population control procedure. Just put some naked ladies on a video. That’s much more effective.

Remember what happened when Taco Bell asked 50 Cent to change his name to 79 Cent for the sake of their tacos and burritos? It’s wasn’t a pretty scene in da courtroom club.

Focus on the real kittens, sea and land. Leave Lance Kitten alone.
