Spock, Star Trek’s Vulcan Vegan, Questions His Flesh Eating Ways

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 in Actors, Pop Culture, Videos.

Trekkies unite! The 2009 Star Trek Movie is still in theatres, so put your Vulcan thinking caps on and find a good, logical reason to see the movie.

Vulcans aren’t always the coolheaded creatures they want to be, as Spock proved once when he savored the taste of animal flesh. But at least he questioned his ridiculous ways.

“Please pay no attention, I’m not myself. I’m behaving disgracefully. I have eaten animal flesh and I’ve enjoyed it. What is wrong with me?”

Admitting is the first step, Spock.

Dan Matthews: Get Obamas Naked, Madonna Is Middle Aged Witch

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 in Animal Issues, Business.

Alec Baldwin Hosts A Screening Of Blinders

Dan Matthews, senior vice president of PETA, gave metro.co.uk a few minutes of his time to talk about dressing up as a vegetable, getting arrested, loving Pamela Anderson and hating Madonna.

Not to mention getting Mr. and Mrs. President Obama in the nude for a campaign against fur.

There’s really too much to mention here, so we’ll summarize.

Next celebrity he wants to get naked for PETA
Michelle Obama would be awesome. She doesn’t wear fur and she’s so cool. We could go for the two of them, her and Barack.

Countries with the best jails
My favourite was in Hong Kong. They brought us great vegan meals and then, because we didn’t have any clothes from the naked protest, they gave us Hong Kong police department T-shirts, which were really cool.

Love Don’t Live Here Anymore For Madonna
I was a fan of Madonna in the 1980s but she became this middle-aged witch who thought her style should be defined by wearing fur coats and eating foie gras. We had a long argument over her glamorising bullfighting in her music videos.

Ouch!

Read who else is on Dan’s fur enemy list at metro.co.uk.

Owen Wilson Ticks Off Unlucky Vegan Duck By Cutting In Line

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian screening in Washington.

We are happy actor Owen Wilson was spotted shopping at One Lucky Duck, an organic, raw foods establishment with a restaurant, juice bar, and much more.

We’re unsure if Owen was grabbing grub or juice when he bypassed the takeout line to place his order, but apparently this made someone else waiting in line steaming broccoli mad.

Hey, movie stars need their raw fix more, okay. It’s a stressful world out there. Don’t prove Margaret Cho right about angry vegans, now.

National Kidney Foundation Celebrity Golf ClassicActress Alyssa Milano’s had her hands tied lately, juggling both a new ABC television pilot, Romantically Challenged, with her clothing line of baseball themed attire, Touch.

Alyssa is no stranger to the ballpark, becoming inspired to design Touch after experiencing frustration in not finding any cute outfits that displayed pride for her team in the baseball shops. She’s also no stranger to ballpark food, and says it’s definitely not the place for dieting.

“Part of the fun of a baseball game is actually pigging out on the concessionary food and throwing peanut shells on the floor,” Alyssa said, according to stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com. “I have four seats at Dodger stadium and after a game it looks like a tornado came through.”

Alyssa, being vegetarian, can stuff all the peanuts and popcorn down her throat at Dodger stadium, but if she visits any of the 10 Most Veggie Friendly Ballparks, she can pig out a lot more.

Philadelphia Phillies fans can munch on faux Philly steak sandwiches and crab-free cakes on their home turf at Citizens Bank Park. San Fransisco Giants in AT&T park can get even bigger scarfing down vegetarian pot stickers, Gardenburgers, and broccoli tofu platters. And the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field hit home runs with their veggie sushi.

Press conference for the 17th Life Ball 2009 in ViennaPamela Anderson is a work hard, play hard kind of gal and she proved this recently while attending the Vienna’s Life Ball AIDS event with other celebrities like Katy Perry, Bill Clinton, and Eva Longoria.

Before heading off to the ball, Pamela found time to chat with Austria’s justice minister, Claudia Bandion-Ortner about animal rights and free speech. It appears Austrian police are attempting to classify animal rights groups as criminals. When Pamela heard this news, she wrote a letter to Bandion-Ortner, asking for her assistance to prevent the potential censure of free speech.

The justice minister then invited Pamela to spend some quality one on one time with her, where she assured Pamela, she’d monitor the situation closely.

It helps to know people in high places.

T4 On The BeachSummer’s almost here. The sunny season marks lots of sunscreen, thongs, lemonade, and the F word. Uh, Gordon Ramsay’s F Word, that is.

The celebrity chef’s show, The F Word, follows Ramsay as he prepares three course meals at his F Word restaurant.

Rest assured Gordon will be doing much of his usual species slaughter during the show, including catching wild hogs and puffin, but at least one member of his celebrity cast moves away from the meat madness, if only for one episode.

Singer and TV personality Dannii Minogue whips up a lovely vegetarian risotto on episode 6, which is set to air on July 22nd at 9:00PM on UK Channel 4.

Gordon  may be open to the vegetarian dish, given the fact he’s expanding his horizons lately, agreeing to partake in a Reality TV show based entirely on creating plant based dishes.  Or he may critique it with his usual diatribe of profanities.

You’ll have to tune in and find out! Visit monstersandcritics.com for sneak previews of other F Word episodes.

Moby Ponders If Zombies Eat Vegans

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Tribeca Film Festival Chanel Dinner celebrity arrivals in NYCMoby was on his way to the dentist recently when he started a much intellectual discussion with himself about whether zombies would find vegans tasty.

Please note that he hadn’t been to the dentist yet, so there was no Novocaine or other mind altering painkiller involved.

“see, i know the zombies won’t want to eat the vegans, as vegans tend to be all skinny and stringy and we’re generally kind of speedy. they’re going to make a b-line for vegas and eat the people standing in the buffet line. cull the herd, zombies.”

Why the concern about zombies, you ask? After experiencing his first earthquake a few days ago, Moby also experienced his first zombie escape. You can view a pic of the zombie escaping the trunk of a car on his journal.

Of course, Moby never thought to ask if zombies themselves were vegan. That fugitive zombie could just have a mean craving for sweet and sour tofu.
