Hayley Williams and the rest of Paramore discuss how the idea for the cover of their latest album, Brand New Eyes, was created.

Hayley found a butterfly in her yard one day, so she clipped its wings and separated it.

Relax, relax, relax…the butterfly had already descended into butterfly afterlife before Hayley performed the surgery.

“No butterflies were harmed in the making of this album,” another band mate added.

Hip-Hop Action Awards Benefit Dinner

Anybody who knows Russell Simmons knows he takes to yoga and vegan food like a fish to water.

So it was no surprise when Russell Tweeted about his dining experience at the Jivamukti Cafe, located in the Jivamukti Yoga center.

“In the jivamukti cafe eating spicey tempeh salad and dahl (indian style lentil soup) jay z playing”

Jivamukti boasts it grows and harvests its own wheatgrass and sprouts in house, along with baking fresh vegan goodies.

As an example of how Jivamukti might serve home grown sprouts, they’ve included a recipe for a Sprout Bowl for you to try at home.

Grab the Sprout Bowl recipe after the jump…

“I go all organic vegetarian, lot of fruits and water! I workout daily, the usual “star” stuff:) I get plenty of sleep, I think that helps, too. And I never go outside without my parasol to lessen the sun rays to the skin. Yes, my friends make fun of me but I know it works, and what works on camera works for me:).”

—-Mallika Sherawat, in an interview with everythingdesi, on her diet and fitness tips for her fans. Of course, a little dance exercise doesn’t hurt either.

Mallika is rumored to be teaming up with fellow vegetarian Russell Simmons, taking hip-hop dance lessons in preparation for a new film about American politics.

Indigo Girls Amy Ray Emily Saliers Both Deserve Foodie Title

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 in Female Musicians, Female Singers, Food & Drink.

Indigo Girls Tape "Artist Confidential" Performance For SIRIUS Radio

The Indigo Girls are on tour promoting their album, Poseidon and the Bitter Bug.

Amy Ray, is the vegetarian of the duo consisting of her and Emily Saliers, and the pennlive.com described them in polar opposites:

“Amy Ray is the country girl; Emily Saliers likes the city. Amy plays punk while Emily is more R&B. Amy is a vegetarian; Emily’s a foodie.”

“But take this chemistry of opposites, stir it together and you get a harmony of melody and rhythm instantly identifiable as the Indigo Girls.”

We’re all about the Girls differences making for a diverse item, but not too thrilled that the opposite of vegetarian is described as a  foodie.

From Websters, foodie is described as, “a person having an avid interest in the latest food fads.”

So the opposite of that is a vegetarian who’s been eating plain beans for the past 2 decades? No way!

Any veg knows we can sample the latest way to do chicken, beef, or pork faux style in the kitchen.

Looking for a cheese ball, fondue or other dairy delight? Even a vegan can grab a hard or soft variety of cheese at a natural food store needed to complete the dish.

Not only that, but with more people incorporating meatless meals into their diets these days, for environmental or economic reasons, looks like we’re the ones starting the “fads.”

Vegetarians aren’t the opposites of foodies.

They are the new foodies.

Forrest Kline of hellogoodbye showed off his vegan exhibitionist side when he Tweeted a pic of a vegan pizza (though we think the nose and chin pictured isn’t Forrest).

“Epic vegan BBQ chicken pizza. Andy put ketchup on it. Ketchup & BBQ? Arch enemies.”

But oh, Forrest, how can ketchup and barbecue feud when, as any veg chef knows, one can easily be spiced up to create the other?

If you’re looking to salivate with inspiration, keep looking at the pic.

If you’re looking to make your own vegan barbecue chicken pizza, here’s a recipe idea.

Pink Gives Verbal Fist Bump To Michelle Obama Fur Free Closet

Brisbane Entertainment Centre Presents Pink With Her Own Toilet

Pink got political during her sold out show at the Patriot Center in the D.C. area recently and gave a shout out to First Lady Michelle Obama.

“Let’s get political for a second,” Pink said. “Since we’re near D.C., I have to give a shout-out to Michelle Obama, who has announced that she is officially fur-free. I love an animal-lovin’ first lady!”

Pink then began singing her Dear Mr. President song, which describes her questions about politics.

Better to be on Pink’s good side when it comes to animal hides because if you remember correctly, she had a few different choice of words when describing Kanye West and fur.
