Vegetarian Star

She may be strict when it comes to what goes into the childrens’ bodies, but on the issue of what’s outside, Madonna appears lax.

Madge was named “Worst Dressed” Celebrity of 2009 in a poll where PETA readers voted, based on the amount of animal clothing the celebs wore.

Madonna beat out other fur wearing celebs, such as Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kanye West, and Elizabeth Hurley.

From peta.org:

“When you see Madonna in fur, you realize why nobody has copied her style since 1984. We know that she’s on the prowl for a young cub, but someone needs to tell Madge that wearing fur doesn’t make you a cougar.”

You can see who else topped the list, as well as “vote again” if you don’t agree with the results at peta.org.

Minority Whip Eric Cantor has gained media attention for being the only Jewish Republican in the House of Representatives.

As a conservative Jew, he aims to maintain Kosher, which usually results in him abstaining from meat when dining out, where he can’t be certain of its status. 

“I’m basically a vegetarian when I eat out,” Cantor said, according to Moment Magazine.

Yet another example of why flexitarianism finds its way into some people’s lives.

Like fellow representative Bill Galvano, Cantor once had a restaurant name a sandwich after him. It wasn’t vegetarian though, and unfortunately for Cantor, it associated him with jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who hosted a fundraiser for Cantor at the Kosher deli where the sandwich was created, Stacks.

Are you a part-time vegetarian? What are your reasons for flexing?

Patrick Carney, drummer for the blues-rock band The Black Keys, grew up in the same city and attended the same school as The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde.

The two have collaborated on a fundraiser and he takes people to eat at her Vegiterranean vegan restaurant frequently. He thinks the food is great, but he’s not too keen on the music.

“It’s an awesome restaurant, but it’s surprising how bad the music is that they play there. It’s straight-up new age jazz. As my uncle [saxophonist] Ralph [Carney] would say, “It’s late jazz.”

Well now…Could he be mad that he doesn’t get the hometown discount?

So if you’re not into new age jazz, bring a set a earplugs with you before you go.
