Vegetarian Star

Andy Hurley recently showed off his home on MTV Cribs and opened his fridge to show the world a plethora of vegan goodies, what he described as, “Everything a real American needs to eat.”

Wow. Vegan and patriotic. 

So what does this real American Fall Out Boy eat? Silk soy yogurt, Tofutti Cutie Ice Cream Snacks, Amy’s Frozen meals, Earth Balance Vegan Butter, Health is Wealth Vegan Chicken Nuggets, and Vegenaise were just a few of the items the camera caught.

Other veg stars have opened their kitchen to MTV Cribs, including Russell Simmons.

Watch the video and play a “Where’s Waldo” kind of game to count how many vegan items the camera caught in Andy’s fridge. Then tell us how many you found!

Steve-O, born Stephen Glover, was known for pulling  dangerous junior high pranks on the MTV show “Jackass.” Now, he’s back on television, this time doing the rumba, waltz, and other dances with professional partner Lacey Schwimmer on the ABC television series, Dancing With The Stars.

And according to various sources, including his sister, Steve-O will be one vegetarian dancing with the stars.

Several reports from the web, like Steve’s blog, mention that he became vegetarian over the recent years.

He did an anti-fur ad for PETA back in 2007. If your memory fails you, here goes…

You can see why we chose the picture at the top to start the post off with. Save the PG-13 materials for later.

Hope Steve is sticking with his veggie diet. Wishing him best of luck on the show.

The self-proclaimed “lessmeatarian” food writer Mark Bittman recently appeared on the Stephen Colbert show to discuss his latest book, Food Matters: A Guide To Conscious Eating.

Although Bittman is not a complete vegetarian, he has drastically cut back on meat in the past years and is advocating more people do the same, for the sake of their health and the planet’s.

Taking a cue from Bittman’s book title, Colbert’s ever so sarcastic persona jumps in immediately and he mentions that he likes to eat food that was once conscious. Hahaaaa, Colbert.

Bittman says he is a vegan until 6pm, and thinks everyone should think harder about the portions of meat and processed foods they’re eating, versus the amounts of plant based foods they should be eating.

Vocab lesson from Colbert: Industrialized Livestock=robot cow (factory raised meat).

If you know anything about Masta Killa, you know he, like other members of the Wu Tang Clan love to kill-vegetables!

The vegetarian born Elgin Turner, who now goes by Jamel Irief, was recently enjoying a veggie meal at Brawta Caribbean Cafe in Brooklyn.

And you thought RZA was the only one who went by a dozen names.

Irief’s been working on a solo album that’s due in the spring, but while he’s not in the recording studio, he’s been busy preaching the veggie news, like recording a PSA for vegetarianism with his son.

He treated the writers at NY1.com to a meal at the Brawta Cafe (which isn’t vegetarian) to show how easy it is to get meatless food anywhere.

Irief wants to get the message out to everyone, especially those in the African-American community, where there are skyrocketing rates of diabetes and other obesity related diseases, that a vegetarian diet is the key to health.

“We kind of lost the natural way of ourselves, so it made us think differently and it made us eat differently. So of course, that affected my family just like a lot of other black families in the community. So without the proper knowledge itself, its impossible to really eat right,” said Irief.

You can watch a video of Irief talking about his veggie ways at NY1.com.

Celebrities are taking full advantage of Twitter these days, serving as their own paparazzi.

Amber Benson, the actress best known for playing Tara Macclay in the TV series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, recently Twittered (or is it Twitted?) what she was chowing down on to get her strength up before a book signing event.

“Eating veggie udon to get my strength up before the 4 o’clock signing at the Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in San Diego.”

Yes, this gal is multi-talented. Actress, writer, film director, and film producer who considers herself one of those “pescetarians,” although she was full time vegetarian for 14 years. 

Amber’s recent Twitter entry makes a little more sense than vegetarian screen star Russell Brand, who humorously claimed to be an inhumanely farmed animal who milked himself, the ingestion of cheese made from his own products rendering him not fully vegan.

Here it is! A blast from the 90s past and the song behind Afya Ibomu’s mother prompting her to switch her daughter to a vegetarian diet.

If you recall, Afya Ibomu was Erykah Badu’s nutritionist while on tour in 2003, and she has her own vegan soulfood cookbook  out now!

Some lyrics from KRS-One’s “Beef”:

Let us begin now with the cow
The way it gets to your plate and how
The cow doesn’t grow fast enough for man
So though his greed he makes a master plan
He has drugs to make the cow grow quicker
Through the stress, the cow get sicker
21 Different drugs are pumped
Into the cow in one big lump
Just before it dies, it cries in the slaughter full of germs and flies
Off with the head, they’ve packed it, drained it, and cart it
And there it is in your local supermarket
A corpse, neatly packed
And you wonder about heart attacks?

Stella McCartney recently showcased her fall/winter ready-wear collection, which of course, consisted of animal-friendly  materials.

Stella’s commitment to cruelty-free wear has earned her the respect of another fellow vegetarian, singer Pink.

“She proves that you can be wildly successful and creative and still have moral values,” Pink told reporters at a post show event organized by PETA.

Such an example of the clothing that allowed Stella to retain her values were stiletto boot-cum-leggings which resembled real leather.

Guest attending the fashion show included Stella’s father, Paul McCartney, Salma Hayek, and rapper Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose.
