Kinky's Celebrity Pet Files

Kinky Friedman has just released a book, Kinky’s Celebrity Pet Files, that gives the lowdown on all the four legged celebrities and their human counterparts.

Kinky writes about historical individuals like Mark Twain, Winston Churchill and Ernest Hemingway as well as celebs of today such as Brian Wilson and Willie Nelson.

One of the more humorous parts of the book include the captions under the pets indicating what the animal is thinking.

One such photograph is of Phyllis Diller dressed in a fur coat holding her cat with the caption above the cat reading, “How many cats did it take to make that jacket?”

What better way to illustrate moral schizophrenia than to have kitty tell it like it is.

Kinky Friedman is an animal advocate and founded Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch in Texas (cute photo alert on Utopia’s home page).

Not only does Katherine Jenkins try to stick to a vegetarian diet to keep her energy up for her performances, she also avoid dairy, which she feels reduces the presence of catarrh and mucus, two substances that negatively affect the voice.

Along with alcohol and coffee, some sources rank dairy right up  there with things to avoid consuming before giving your Grammy award winning performance.

The Associated Content put it this way:

“It can feel soothing to your voice to drink a large, cool glass of milk, which makes it all the more perplexing that milk is bad for your singing voice. Milk won’t damage your vocal cords, permanently or otherwise, or restrict your vocal range, unless of course it’s really, really cold. What milk will do is create a thick layer of phlegm that will make you sound disgusting. Any dairy product, in fact, has this effect. If you drink dairy before singing, follow it up with a lot of water to wash out some of the phlegm. In a live setting, you’ll get away with it, although you may not be so lucky in a recording studio.”

If you’re a vocal performer, maybe you and the cows can sing better if you just say “No” to milk.

Christopher Jarecki, rock musician and husband of Alicia Silverstone, is normally a pretty well behaved man.

But every once in awhile he gets “naughty.”

When asked if her husband was also vegan, Silverstone replied, “He’s a vegan who flirts with fish. Sometimes he gets naughty and has a little fish here or there.”

But the most important question is: How does Alicia punish Christopher for being bad?

Are you guilty of being naughty in your diet?

“I chose to be vegan initially as an energetic pursuit, as meat and dairy slowed me down, but have since become convinced that it is not only the most healthy way to live, but also the most compassionate and ecologically responsible way.”

—Woody Harrelson, a World Go Vegan Week supporter.

World Go Vegan Week is celebrating it’s 4th annual holiday this year from October 25-31. The week is meant to encourage others to engage in a sustainable healthy lifestyle and incorporate vegan principles into their living.

Propagandhi on Myspace

Although some vegetarian celebrities have reported difficulty finding food in some countries, Propagandhi front man Chris Hannah says the exact opposite has been true for his traveling abroad experiences.

“The staple foods in most cultures are plant-based and then they add animal products on top of that, so I’ve never had trouble. If you’re not the type of person that defaults to processed junk food, if you enjoy and eat fresh fruit and vegetables, they’re everywhere on the planet. Outside of the extremes of Antarctica and the Arctic, there’s something to eat.”

And now with cool veggie technology like the iphone application VegOut, it’s never been easier to find the restaurant that serves what you’re looking for.

There may even be a tofu stand in Antarctica somewhere.

The best part about Twitter is getting to update about the good grub you’ve devoured.

Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, recently did this about a homemade meal his wife cooked.

“Wow, @Livia just took her homemade vegan lasagna out of the oven — I’m hungry!”

Here’s the finished product.

This puzzle us, because last time we checked, Biz was a vegan.

Is that soy cheese on the lasagna?

We already knew Boy George made all the vegetarian food in prison during his stint he served for false imprisonment and assault of a male escort.

Maybe that’s why they were so nice to him.

“You get a lot of attention when you first go in, especially if you’re Boy George,” George said. “But, in a funny sort of way, people were actually quite sweet; people would come up to me and say, ‘Do you need a tooth brush, a mirror?’ There’s some nice people in prison!”

There were even some people paying homage to the Culture Club king, who’s real name is George O’Dowd.

“When you walk in, you’ve got the balconies, the safety nets, people shouting Karma Chameleon, banging things.”

“You think, ‘How am I going to make this work for me?’ I got a job in the kitchen, made the vegetarian food. The more you do that, the quicker it (the sentence) goes. They probably thought I was going to be a complete nightmare.”

If you’re heading to prison anytime soon, ask the judge to send you to one of the top 10 vegetarian friendly prisons.

Otherwise, you might end up in the kitchen like Boy George cooking for yourself.
