Vegetarian Star

“I was hounded and followed by Americans worldwide, who said ‘You’ve got to make him stop.’ I hadn’t even heard the show. Actually so many people told me to take it off, I thought ‘(expletive) it.’ I don’t have to do what you people want me to do. That show doesn’t matter to me. I think people are too easily baited. Those talk guys are just part of the gossip culture. Everyone’s got opinions on other people. It’s such a boring, unoriginal topic. No offense, but that’s not an original question. Ask me something else.”

—-hilarious Chrissie Hynde in an interview where she was asked about conservative talks show host Rush Limbaugh using her song, “My City Was Gone,” for his radio show.

Eventually Chrissie allowed Rush to use part of the song, but donate royalties to PETA.

And Rush isn’t such a bad guy after all, as he recorded a PSA for the Humane Society-without Chrissie’s prompt.

The left and the right can get along.

At least when it comes to being an advocate for animals.

Aerosmith‘s guitarist and vocalist Joe Perry thinks he’s quite the conservationist, according to an interview with Outdoor Living magazine.

Perry was quoted as saying:

“I don’t shoot anything that I don’t eat. Hunters are conservationists and their heads are in the right place. … (Hunting) really gives you a great opportunity to keep in touch with reality.”

Oh, Joe. How out of touch with reality you are!

Granted, hunting your food is less taxing on the environment than raising cattle which wastes precious resources of water and land that could be put to better use growing crops.

But Joe, unless you wear a loincloth (hubba, hubba? eh…maybe not so much), these aren’t the days where man (or a beefy Xena Warrior Princess type woman) chases after the beast before dinner time.

Try hunting down some vital wheat gluten flour at the grocery and whipping up a “taste like meat” seitan dish.

Put the rifle down, Joe.

Keeping the loincloth on is totally optional.

Once again, some LOLcat afternoon humor.

Steve the cat should know there are other vegetarian options besides french fries.

One of the people who run the site, I Can Has Cheezburger,  goes by the name tofuburger.

Could there be a two legged LOL veggie cat?

As we told you previously, Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel is starring in a PETA “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” ad campaign.

Here’s a little sneak preview (or shall we call it a “peep” preview, since Bethenny’s so au naturel) of what the ad that will be released later this fall looks like.

Can’t wait for the full show!

Madonna stopped by Tel Aviv recently to perform the last in the concert series for her Sticky and Sweet tour.

After Madge’s plane landed, her crew took no time at all hunting down food for the Material Girl and her dance troupe.

And when we say “hunt,” we almost mean that literally.

From wnd.com:

“A source at the hotel kitchen where Madonna’s food is being prepared told WND the menu for the singer and her crew today included about 110 pounds of meat, including rib-eye and T-bone steaks, as well as beef filet. Also, fish and poultry were on hand for dinner.”

One hundred ten pounds of meat? Plus, fish and poultry on the side?

We don’t even want to begin to count how many animals that makes.

Surely, Madge and her crew could get their stage energy from whole grain pasta, nuts, legumes, and other plant based proteins.

A very sticky and bittersweet ending to her tour.

We heard that Australian pop dual The Veronicas, which consist of Jess Origliasso and her sister Lisa Origliasso were partying it up with Joel Madden at the TAO Las Vegas.

The Origliasso sisters were said to have dined on vegetarian fare before heading to the nightclub area.

If you recall us telling you, Jess, was incredibly interested in doing anti-fur campaigns and was spotted on the subway wearing a faux leather jacket that read, “F*** Fur” on the back.

It wasn’t noted what vegetarian status in limbo Joel Madden was munching on, but we sure  hope it wasn’t leftover Hamburger Helper.

Last month Leilani Munter Tweeted about grabbing some vegan grub at California Vegan Restaurant in L.A.

The NASCAR and IndyCar driver who calls herself a “vegetarian hippie chick” is an active environmentalist, so it’s no wonder she knows the best thing for the planet is to go meatless.

California Vegan has been hooking folks up in the LA region since 2003.

It has several menus, including lunch and dinner, that give the vegan eatery bragging rights with offerings such as California soy chicken, the Pepper Steak “Burger,” and Thai curries featuring all colors of the rainbow-red, yellow, and green.

You don’t hear much about celebrities dropping by California Vegan as you do with other LA vegan eateries like Real Food Daily.

Maybe now that Leilani’s giving it some press, it will become the next hotspot for the vegetarian celebrities to hang.

Singer Mya went vegetarian to get in shape for her Dancing With the Stars role and lost 11 pounds, according to US Weekly.

“You have to get your rest, eat properly, rest, focus…it’s challenging,” Mya said, who cited becoming vegetarian as a way to “lighten up” to better shake her hips during the salsa.

“My weight may change after I stuff my face!” she jokes. “My weakness is the pasta and the rice!”

Wouldn’t it be great if the Grammy award winning R & B singer kept to her veg diet even after Dancing with the Stars is over?

She could join the Dancing veg alum club with Cloris Leachman.

Stuffing your face with pasta and rice are completely within our bylaws, Mya!
