Vegetarian Star

Sandra Bernhard recently Tweeted about wanting to be vegan, but not being able to cross over to that side.

“i wish i could be a vegan but i just can’t function well on that diet believe me i get it and maybe one day but for now i do the best i can!”

Wonder what’s holding Sandra back?

Sure, veganism takes more thought and planning. It requires seeking more sources of plant protein. You may even have to pop a B Vitamin here and there. But ask any vegan who’s stuck with the lifestyle and they’ll tell you it’s totally worth it to adhere to their beliefs and/or to gain the health benefits of removing dairy and eggs from their diet.

Are you a wannabe vegan who has a few humps to get over? Is it the love of cheese? Cookies and cakes bringing you down? Are you just afraid of “slipping” up every now and then?

Chime in and let everyone know!

And send some encouragement to Sandra @SandraBernhard.

Method Man is truly a vegetarian metrosexual. Not only does he have good taste in food, he knows how to keep his skin looking pretty.

He and Redman gave some tips for being vegetarian and healthy like filling up on edamame, which according to Method Man, has skin purifying qualities.

Redman lost weight by shunning McDonald’s (which obviously helps in staying the vegetarian course) and Method Man says hit up Whole Foods like it’s the mecca for hot ladies, citing their variety of fake meat crumbles and veggie burger collections.

The guys are sharing the veg secret everywhere, as they even have a veggie reference in one of their songs on their latest album Blackout! Vol. 2.

Activists and longtime veg couple Peter and Mary Max will be hosting the launch of the film, Standardized Testing on Friday, June 19th from 6:30-8:30 PM at the Max Studio at 37 West 65th Street, 7th Floor in New York City.

Standardized Testing follows activist Kelly Overton  as he returns to his Alma maters of Harvard, Tulane, Columbia, and UMass in an attempt to return his degrees and get his tuition refunded to bring attention to the controversial medical research being conducted on animals in university labs.

According to the Standardized Testing website, “The film uses scientific and economic data to show how medical research done on animals wastes billions of tax dollars annually, obstructs medical progress and needlessly tortures and kills millions of animals every year.”

Overton is the founder of PATH, People Protecting Animals and Their Habitats. PATH, according to its website, “advocates for the humane treatment of all animals, as well as the conservation and protection of areas that are vital to the survival of endangered or threatened species.”

Tickets for the event may be purchased  at ppath.org.

Popsugar.com reported that Gisele Bundchen wanted to make the most of her weekend and looks like she played the part of good eater cop/bad eater cop in 48 hours.

The model and wife of New England Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady was spotted at both Five Guys Famous Burger and Fries and carrying a One Lucky Duck bag, a raw foods and organic establishment in New York.

One one hand, we could give her the Barack Obama lecture on making a burger joint visit. But she obviously patronizes vegan shops as well, so we have to give a high five for that.

What do you think? Is Gisele aiming for a Meat-Free Monday type of diet and becoming a flexitarian?

Did Owen Wilson cut in front of her while she was waiting in line?

After a drawn out discussion and some investigation, we were saddened to learn that Hayley Williams of Paramore isn’t vegetarian after all.

During a conversation with Rob Pattinson, Hayley appeared as if she genuinely loved Gardenburgers.

But one thing Hayley does love is vegan desserts baked by Danielle Konya and her Vegan Treats crew.

On a recent Twitter, Danielle wrote:

“Tonight we baked for Paramore, No Doubt, and Eddie Vedder, fun!!”

The vegan bakery Danielle owns has baked goodies for several celebrities, including AFI and Alkaline Trio, who’s drummer Derek Grant recently wrote a jingle to express his love for Vegan Treats.

You can check out Vegan Treat’s new website, and follow Danielle’s tweeting @vegantreats.

PETA’s co-founder and president, Ingrid Newkirk, sat down with green gossip website Ecorazzi.com over a vegan bacon cheeseburger for an interview.

Ingrid’s latest book, The PETA Practical Guide To Animal Rights, has just been released and offers tips for everyday folk to get involved with protecting animals.

Ingrid said one of the most important things an activist can do is to arm themselves with answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

She, like Russell Simmons, also said Barack Obama should stop publicly going out for cheeseburgers and opt for healthier, vegetarian choices instead.

So many are talking. Think Mr. President will get the message?

Watch the video to hear what Ingrid had to say about Michael Vick and other topics.

Yesterday we told you vegan cookbook author Isa Chandra Moskowitz was featured in Grist.org’s 13 Badass Greens for her vegan cooking show and delicious recipes that can lighten your footprint by shedding that heavy egg and dairy.

But who is the greenest badass of all?

None other than vegetarian race car driver Leilani Munter.

“Stunt double? Check. Race car driver? Check. Biologist and conservation activist? Uh, OK. Munter doesn’t mess around when it comes to the environment: she hopes to educate racing’s 100 million racing fans about green living, serves as an ambassador for the National Wildlife Federation, has testified on Capitol Hill, and wants to convince her industry to use more alternative fuels. Says this CarbonFreeGirl: “Just because you’re green … doesn’t mean you can’t be fast.””

You can learn more about life in Leilani’s fast lane at her website, carbonfreegirl.com.

Denny's All Nighter

All you late night fast food junkies can breathe a sign of relief.

At least there’s one place to visit where you can get some decent vegetarian fare at odd hours in the morning.

A few months ago, we told you, at its own risk, Denny’s restaurant let stars like Good Charlotte twin brothers Benji and Joel Madden into their kitchen to whip up burritos so they could attach a celebrity name to it.

The Denny’s Rock Star Menu #3 is out and features the boys’ creation of a Boca burger burrito with shredded cheese, sliced mushrooms, fire-roasted peppers and onions and spicy mayo. Both are served with tortilla chips and ranch dressing.

This option is available starting next week, but we have some unanswered questions.

Originally, vegetarian and vegan options were suppose to be available. While it’s easy to leave the cheese and mayo off, not every Boca burger is vegan.

Did vegans get ripped off? The only way to find out is to give a holler at the restaurant next week!
