Vegetarian Star

Since we’ve already featured the mature gentlemen, it’s only fair to do the mature ladies edition. Eighty-two year old Cloris Leachman pitted against 75 year old Cicely Tyson. Leachman has just unveiled her lettuce leaves PETA ad. Tyson says she treats her body like a car, only putting the best veggie fuel in it. We won’t tell you which woman claims to have had “epic sex” with Gene Hackman. You’ll have to dig through the archives to find out. So between the two ladies…who would you rather do?

Many will be thankful he’s not rapping it.

Joaquin Phoenix narrated the Nation Earth film company produced Earthlings, a documentary about the harm that comes with humans using animals in various industries, such as food, fashion, and entertainment.

Now he’s back doing his deal again with the new audio book version adapted from the original full length film.

The audio book can be downloaded for $13.97 or pre-ordered on a 2 CD set for $19.99 at Earthlings.com.

Ellen DeGeneres credited the film with helping her adopt a vegan diet. 

The film also features music from vegan musician Moby.

Earthlings took several years to create due to the difficulty of obtaining footage in some of the industries.

Propagandhi on Myspace

Like, really, really, really likes it. 

VegNews magazine recently interviewed Todd “the Rod” Kowalski of the band Propagandhi on their new album, Supporting Caste, which features a satirical song about cooking up food writer Sandor Katz after raising him “humanely.”

The boys go to a lot of vegan restaurants while on tour and can’t get enough Thai food.

“We went to an unbelievable Thai restaurant called Peace Harmony in Sydney, Australia two days ago,” said bassist Kowalski. “We went there four times in two days!”

Um, obsessed much, guys?

Back home in Canada, Todd likes staying in to cook, but will saunter over to his favorite Ethiopian restaurant, Merkato, in Winnipeg.

Stella McCartney was honored by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) recently at its Forces For Nature gala.

The environmental group honored both the vegetarian fashion designer who refuses to use leather in her products, as well as Discovery Channel chief David Zaslav.

Attendees at the event were entertained by comedians and dined on a vegetarian meal.

Stella’s proud papa, Paul McCartney was there with girlfriend Nancy Shevell.

“A love of nature has been instilled in [Stella] as she grew up,” Paul said. “But I don’t want to take any credit. She’s a smart girl. When she came in to the fashion industry, she came in to Gucci, which is leather city. I was really wondering how long it would be before she’d have to cave in to the economic pressures, but she just hung in there.”

Other celebrity attendees included Tom and Kathy Freston, Barry Diller, Diane von Furstenberg, Graydon and Anna Carter, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Ron Perelman, Zhang Ziyi and host Alec Baldwin.

Stella’s fashion line is quite successful, and the fact that more environmentally friendly attire is making its way into women’s closets is a bonus. And that’s just how Stella prefers it.

“I don’t want people to buy my stuff because they know it’s not leather,” she said with a smile. “I just want them to want the boots.”

The all vegetarian band Rise Against is quite vocal in letting people know the benefits of being vegetarian, whether that be  mentioning it during an interview or handing out PETA pamphlets at one of their concerts.

So they were elated when a well known large and successful pharmaceutical company decided to collaborate with them to name an impotency drug, “Rise Again,” after the band.

The drug apparently gives you several servings of fruits and vegetables in one capsule and helps you to resist the urge to eat artery clogging meat products which can cause impotence.

“In essence, this drug will help men all over the world “rise again,” said lead scientist Dr. Peter Peterson.

“We thought the band would be perfect to front the drug,” added marketing executive Jill Johnson.

“After all, their name “Rise Against,” symbolizes what men desire. To rise against the unhealthy habits that are causing their impotency and be able to in fact, “rise again,” and please their partners.”

Lead singer of the band Tim McIlrath said, “It’s great that we were chosen to represent Rise Again. The most important thing about a vegetarian diet is that it helps prevent impotency. It’s good for the environment and saves the animals too, but no impotency is the main benefit. I myself, or any of my band mates have never experienced impotency. We attribute it to our vegetarian lifestyle.”

Rise Again is currently in the final stages of clinical trials. No side effects have been reported and it doesn’t interact with other medications. Rise Again is expected to hit the OTC shelves late this summer.

Gordon Ramsay, the celebrity chef notorious for his not so kind remarks about vegetarians and vegetarian food has become a vegetarian.

If you recall us telling you, Gordon’s hatred of vegetarians was so passionate, he once said he’d put his children on a fence and electrocute them if they adopted the diet.

That has changed.

When Gordon’s wife Tana, announced she was becoming vegetarian and that should would force the diet on the children, Gordon was less than pleased.

“I couldn’t believe after so many years of marriage, she would betray me like this,” Ramsay said, according to Chef Gossip Daily. “So, I decided to put her on the electric fence and electrocute her to prevent anything like this from happening to my seeds.”

While trying to put his wife on the electric fence, Gordon managed to shock himself. The great pain he experienced brought him to an epiphany-like state where he suddenly had more compassion for animals and wanted a healthier diet for himself and his family.

“I’m just glad it wasn’t anal electrocution like those poor animals on fur farms receive,” Gordon said, rubbing his bum to emphasize how painful that would have been.

Now every evening, Gordon likes to cook vegetarian food with his wife Tana. The children are found of tofu, but Gordon prefers they eat seitan, because it “sounds more devilish” and he hates for anyone to think he’s softened in any other area than his diet.

How dare they!

Morrissey was performing at the House of Blues in Boston recently when he wanted to utilize their kitchen to make himself some grub.

They said “no,” proving even a celebrity can’t always have their way.

“You know what they said?” Morrissey asked. “No. People are just horrible, aren’t they?”

The singer wanted to cook some brown rice and peppers to take with him to his next stop at Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Because of this, Morrissey nicknamed it the “House of Rules.”

He was able to have workers pass out vegetarian info pamphlets in the lobby, though.

Does the House of Blues have strict rules about who they let in the kitchen? Or is it Morrissey they’re afraid to give a knife and skillet to?
