Erykah Badu performs at the 40th New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival

Hot, hot, hot!

She’ll never have to call Tyrone for anything because The Vegan Scoop is all she’ll ever need.

Earlier this year, Erykah Badu got some samples of Wheeler’s Frozen Desserts.

She thoroughly enjoyed them and recently had the pleasure of receiving a copy of The Vegan Scoop, a recipe book filled with tricks and trades to make your own vegan ice cream at home.

“I can’t wait to make it at home,” she said, according to a recent post on Wheeler’s blog, titled, “Erykah Badu plans to “do it” at home with The Vegan Scoop.”

“I heard she was looking for a great vegan ice cream so I shipped her over 15 samples earlier this year,” said chef Wheeler del Torro, author of The Vegan Scoop.

Wheeler’s vegan Frozen desserts are crafted from soy and nut milk blends and certified organic ingredients.

Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival 2008 - Day 3

Here Comes The Sun to help hundreds of farm animals.

Jim James, vocalist and guitarist for the band My Morning Jacket, has announced he’s donating a portion of the proceeds from his upcoming George Harrison tribute album to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary.

“I know this is something that George [Harrison] really believed in,” James was quoted as saying. “George was all about treating all creatures equally and eating responsibly.”

James and his hero have more than music in common, as he is a vegetarian like Harrison was.

James is using another name for the record, “Yim Yames,” instead of his real name.

The tribute album comes out later this month, but for now, you can still listen to a sample on Mr. Yim Yames website.

Mariah Carey Not Beefin’ Cause She’s Vegetarian?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 in Female Singers, Videos.

**RESTRICTIONS APPLY** Mariah Carey and a stunt double shooting the video for Obsessed in New York City

Mariah Carey’s been filming the video to her new single, “Obsessed,” from the upcoming album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.

Some have claimed the lyrics to “Obsessed,” are a knock against Eminem, the rapper she briefly dated long ago.

“Why are you so obsessed with me/ Boy I wanna know/ Lying that you’re sexing me/ When everybody knows/ It’s clear that you’re upset with me.”

But hubby Nick Cannon insists Mariah’s got no time for retorts like that and has no desire to “beef.”

“I don’t think that she would take her time. My wife doesn’t beef. She’s Mariah Carey. She’s not beefin’, she’s a vegetarian.”

For those too lazy to check the urban dictionary, beefin’ is a feud between enemies.

Is Nick joking around to come up with an antonym (saving the big words for the afternoon) for beefin’?

Or has Mariah really embraced the vegetarian life? She’s already given up the fur coat thing.

Watch the behind the scenes video of “Obsessed” and you tell us.

If you’re in the Santa Monica, California area, you might spy a whole host of veg celebs eating there, including Tobey Maguire, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Heather Mills.

Miranda had the job of carrying the doggie bag home while Orlando seemed to be giving her a pat on the bum.

We’re sure it was Orlando’s way of praising Miranda for picking such a great restaurant, hahaha.

Miranda showed her vegan friendly love before when she modeled for and launched the Victoria’s Secret PINK collection, a vegan and free of animal testing body care line from the company

Sarah McLachlan was recently interviewed by Canada CTV news while she was scheduled to perform for the Canada Day festivities.

Sarah had a few choice words to say about the seal hunting industry.

“The commercial sealing industry in Canada is perverse and sick. … They club these seals as early as 12 days old, and half the time they hook them and they drag them across the ice. … It’s archaic, and it’s horrible, and I want it to stop.”

Fashion alert: Notice the baby seal on Sarah’s shirt. This woman knows how to make a statement.

When asked what she thought of Canada’s Governor General Michaelle Jean killing a seal and then eating its raw heart, she expressed interest in having a “talk” with her about it.

Follow this link to watch the video of Sarah being interviewed by Canada CTV News on her views about the seal hunt.

Monte Carlo Television Festival 2009 Day 4

“Go vegan! Or at least eat less meat and dairy. For some reason, the eco movement has been slow and a bit wary to talk about this. But it is pretty much the best thing you could do for the environment.”

—-Bones’ actress Emily Deschanel to ecostiletto.com, when asked what her favorite eco friendly tip was that readers should know about.

According to the creators of Meat the Truth, livestock greenhouse gases account for more emissions than those made by every car, train, boat, and plane we get around in.

Who Would You: Method Man Or Redman

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 in Male Singers, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Redman lost weight going vegetarian and avoiding McDonald’s, so he might teach you a few tricks to conquer those nasty cravings for vegan, but still high in calorie cookie cravings.  Method Man has all the skillz for keeping your face pretty, as he recommends eating baby soy, or edamame, because of its skin purifying qualities. So between the two hip hop stars, who would you rather do…
