John Salley: The Next Food Network Star

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 6th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.

22nd Annual Sports Spectacular - Show

John Salley wants his own Food Network show!

From blogs.ajc.com:

“I’m shopping around for a cooking show. And I plan to do a reality show with my family, my wife and three kids. I’m about to take a flight to meet with NBC. And I’m trying to sell my cooking show concept to the Food Network.”

John has already created his own line of vegan, organic snack foods that he’s promoting.

It would be great to watch him whip up some of that Slam Dunk Guacamole on television.

And a nice alternative to watching Paula Deen put 10 pounds of butter in a casserole while she brags about bringing gifts of ham during the Holiday season.

The Pretenders Perform In Madrid

The Vegiterranean, a vegan restaurant created and owned by The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, isn’t exactly located in the hub of vegetarianism.

But that doesn’t stop her from bringing business to her hometown of Akron, Ohio, as she says mostly meat eaters dine there.

“Ninety per cent of the people who go there are meat eaters,” Hynde said. “They just think the food’s great and there’s not a bean sprout in sight.”

Not that Chrissie isn’t into anything with the word “bean” attached to it.

“I could eat beans on toast every day for the rest of my life, no complaints at all. I’m a buffet kind of person. I’d much rather go in for a buffet, load up my plate, sit down, eat and split, or have a piece of pizza on a doorstep or something. I can’t stand fuss.”

She’s not a party person either, stating she never gets invited because “they don’t invite vegetarians.”

But that may be for the best, as she gets to dart silly questions like, “Do you eat fish?”

“I’ve been having that same conversation for 40 years!” she said.

Justin Timberlake and Guy Ritchie visit the Punch Bowl pub in London, UK

If you thought your homeowners’ association was strict, listen to plight of Guy Ritchie.

Guy has to get permission just to grow some fruits and vegetables on his property! It’s all part of a plan to green the estate he and Madonna once shared to make it more efficient.

Because of the historical significance of Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, England, he’ll need clearance to build a greenhouse and vegetable plots.

The planning application, according to Starpluse.com, reads as following:

“In the estate’s prime when it was painted in the 18th Century, it was surrounded by extensive gardens including major vegetable gardens. In recent years, all productive vegetable gardens have been lost. The gardens that remain are formal or semi-formal flower gardens.”

“It is proposed to try to make Ashcombe House self-sufficient. The part-walled gardens leading from the back door to the staff building will be turned over to vegetables and given a row of greenhouses to produce vines, fruit, early vegetables and seedlings… Produce from the greenhouses will be used on the estate, all part of an effort to make the estate more self-sufficient and sustainable.”

Sure hope Guy gets his application approved. Home grown produce is the least he can do to make up for the forced ham diet he puts the children on at Christmas.

Cameron Diaz is offering her tips for going green in her pal Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop newsletter.

The latest edition of the Get section features must have items for greening your lifestyle and Cameron has chosen Elizabeth Olsen’s Olsen Haus vegan shoes as one of her favorite accessories.

“These Olsen Haus shoes are vegan and natural linen; they are fun and sexy with a pair of skinny jeans,” writes Cameron. “I like them for walking around the city when I want to wear heels during the day but need to have a sturdy pair that I can move quickly in.”

The shoe featured in the newsletter is Sweet Kicks, shown here.

Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus attend the German premiere of Hannah Montana - The Movie

Once upon a time, Miley Cyrus was a vegetable hating vegetarian.

Now it seems she’s hating on the whole veg lifestyle as it’s been revealed she’s couldn’t resist giving into those occasional meat cravings now and then.

“I’m from Tennessee and we like country fried steak a lot,” Miley said to Inquirer.net. “I like fried food. I wasn’t able to give up the meat. I want a steak or a burger from McDonald’s every once in a while. A double-double is just way too good. I’ve still got to eat. I’ve got the rest of my life to stay healthy.”

Now we know you Tennesseans are shaking your heads and restraining yourself from giving Miley a smack for speaking for all of you.

Ginnifer Goodwin is from Tennessee too Miley. That’s no excuse.

If Hannah Montana likes to fry it, she could at least fry tofu in vegetable oil. And country fried steak? Amy might be able to help her out in the Southern Whole Meals department.

Why not try a vegan until 6 thing like Mark Bittman. Or the Graham Hill weekday vegetarian plan.

Teenagers are already experiencing high blood pressure and wacko blood sugar levels that put them at risk for heart disease later.

Don’t just write it off Miley, because contrary to what you say, you don’t have your entire life to be healthy.

Heather Mills Opens V Bites!

Heather Mills Launches V-Bites Restaurant

The much anticipated opening of the V Bites restaurant Heather Mills has been talking about finally opened its doors in Hove Lagoon in the UK for chowing down on vegan goodness this weekend.

According to a press release Heather’s restaurant will serve such entrees as “Bangers and Mash to Chicken Style Nut Korma, mini pitta pockets with Beefy Wok Strips to amazing salads and yummy fruit smoothies, a Traditional English breakfast, Pad Thai served with rice noodles, Sag Paneer with vegan feta cheese, full Sunday roast with all the trimmings and a wide range of delicious sandwiches including a ‘ham’, cheese and tomato toastie and a classic BLT.”

A DJ and band were there to provide music for the lunch at the all day opening party. Heather took a moment to climb on the roof of V Bites and stand next to a big neon-like sign that resembles one at a Las Vegas joint.

Although gambling or stripping isn’t on the agenda for V Bites, a room that involves interactive computers to teach children about the importance of vegetable and an ice rink currently is.
