Death Cab For Cutie: Vegetarians For “New Moon” Veg Vampires

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Bands, Film & TV, Videos.

Death Cab For Cutie will have a song on the New Moon soundtrack called Meet Me On The Equinox.

Seems fitting that real vegetarians Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla would sing a song for a movie about vegetarian vampires.

Take a listen and say what you think.

Bethenny Frankel Does Another Pepperidge Farm Recipe

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Recipes.

Badgley Mischka - Backstage - Spring 2010 MBFW

As we eagerly await Bethenny Frankel‘s nude anti-fur ad, we bring you a recipe courtesy of the Real Housewives of New York City star.

We like Bethenny, because although she doesn’t solely cook vegetarian foods, she definitely not stingy about giving the diet some promos, from her Bethenny Bakes, low fat wheat, egg and dairy free baked goodies to her recipes using Boca Burgers.

She’s a mainstream chef who brings vegetarian ideas to the general public and we applaud her for that.

Recently, Bethenny’s made two recipes available to celebrate the launch of Pepperidge Farm Baked Natural Cheese Crisps.

Grab the recipe for Spicy Chitpotle Dip after the jump. (more…)

Latitude Music Festival - Day 4

Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke is set to play a live version of the song Reckoner at an undisclosed location on September 21 after the screenings of Age of Stupid take place.

Age of Stupid is a climate change awareness film where a man wakes up in the year 2055 and wonders why the heck no one did anything about climate changes years ago.

Cause it’s like, really, really bad then.

Thom knows not eating meat is a great way to combat climate change, even though when he originally became vegetarian, he just wanted to look cool for some chick, according to animalaid.org.

“A list of things I guess… first thing was Meat is Murder [a song by legendary band The Smiths]. The second thing was getting sick all the time every time I ate meat – getting sick a lot… and the third thing was I started going out with this girl and I wanted to impress her so I pretended I’d been vegetarian all along… and I immediately felt a lot better, a lot healthier. I was concerned, as many people are, about that ‘you’re not going to get all the things you need in your diet, you’re going to get sick all the time’, but the exact opposite happened to me, so I never looked back. It was never a problem straight off.”

Ah, men.

See the power you have, veg ladies?

Method Man: Dis Iz 4 All My Vegan Smokers (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Singers, Videos.

Speaking of hip hop music that Natalie Portman enjoys…She’s sure to like this one cause it talks about not eating meat.

Remember when we told you about Method Man‘s song Dis Iz 4 All My Smokers that has the vegan reference to it?

Here’s a little video and the song.

The vegan verse begins around minute 2:20.

Catchy song, but hey, all that smoke can’t be good for you, regardless of your vegetarian diet. Chill, Method.

Carrie Underwood Sandwich: A Meaty Misspelling

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Business, Female Singers, Food & Drink, Restaurants.

Carrie Underwood and her dog Ace at Los Angeles airport

There’s an eatery called Belles Cafe in Willinston, Vermont that has a sandwich named after Carrie Underwood.

There are two problems with this.

Her name is spelled “Carry” in the sandwich title and it is maheeeatay, as a fan on carriefans.com found out.

“I went to my local deli and bakery called Belles Cafe yesterday with my cousin and we were looking at the menu and she yells “omg I bet you are getting the Carrie Underwood.” i didn’t know what she was talking about so I look up at the menu and they have a sandwich called Carrie Underwood. And then my cousin yells “obviously they didn’t do any research before creating her sandwich.” They spelt her name “Carry” and her sandwich had meat on it. I was mad because I wanted to get it, but being a vegetarian myself I couldn’t. I was still excited though because it was so random.”

We’ve seen this before.

Natalie Portman‘s lobster salad.

Prince Fielder‘s meaty pizza made in honor of his accomplishments.

But hey, we won’t complain too much.

At least those guys got their names spelled right.

No harsh feelings to Cafe Belles, of course.

We’re just hoping they modify the Carrie sandwich.

Chris Noth “Sex And The City” Big Went Vegetarian To Get Small

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.

Mr Big (AKA Chris Noth) on the set of Sex and the City 2 in NYC

Chris Noth, the actor who plays Sarah Jessica Parker‘s (Carrie Bradshaw) husband Big on Sex and the City, took a retreat to Brazil for a wholistic weight loss experience to slim down for Sex and the City 2.

“I went to a place called the Island Experience in Brazil on Ilha Grande. It’s two hours drive from Rio and 40 minutes by boat,” Noth told Usmagazine.com. “It was a total vegetarian diet. Basically, you spend all day doing yoga, hiking, kayaking, eating vegetarian food, no coffee, no alcohol, no meat.”

Awesome!

Great to see an actor promoting a healthy weight loss plan that includes a plant based diet versus pills.

Don’t even get us started on those Quick Trim Kardashians.

Maybe Chris will continue his veg diet now that he sees how great he can feel and look.

Besides, according to vegan chef Christina Pirello, vegetables make sex so much better.

Isabel Lucas Backs Out Like A Baby From “Rights Revoked”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Film & TV.

The Cove Special New York Screening

Isabel Lucas has pulled out of an animal rights documentary titled Rights Revoked, after not being able to get along with her co-star Elissa Sursara.

Wow.

It’s like save the whales, but you can’t use my markers to make your poster.

According to bscreview.com:

“The 24-year-old booming actress cites brewing on-set tensions and personal discomfort for her decision, while Sursara remains on board for the project, something fans of Lucas’ congratulate her for. Said one comment on a News.com.au subsite, ‘I commend Elissa for sticking to her passion for animals and not backing out like a baby.’”

If there’s any reason to get up in the morning to look at someone you don’t like, it’s definitely a higher purpose like animal welfare.

The Transformers star insists she is ensuring the document will be successful, as having many “anger” and “messy emotions” will get in the way of the production.

Zooey Deschanel, Ben Gibbard Marrying In September

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Couples, Food & Drink.

2009 Maui Film Festival - Day 2

We love veggie couples.

That’s why we’re overjoyed to hear that vegan Zooey Deschanel and vegetarian Ben Gibbard are expected to tie the knot this month.

From Page Six:

“A spy at the Bar Method ballet studio in Los Angeles says, “Zooey is in Belfast with James Franco and Natalie Portman” — filming Your Highness — “but will return at the end of September for her ceremony in Seattle.””

With Zooey and her sister Emily being vegan, and both Ben and his Death Cab For Cutie band mate Chris Walla being vegetarian, you know the reception will be filled with abundant veg food and may even be completely vegan.

Vegetarian and vegan weddings may be harder to plan if you have meat eating guests, but that’s no reason to back down. It’s your day, after all!
