Vegetarian Star

A.J. Jamal on Myspace

If you like to do it old school on Sundays, have we got the story for you.

Anyone remember watching In Living Color? If so, you remember A.J. Jamal, who got his big break after replacing Keenen Ivory Wayans. Jamal now rests his funny bones at Comedy Central. 

Removing potty mouths from the stage, A.J. says he likes to keep his show clean and doesn’t curse at all when he’s not performing. He also keeps his body clean and is a vegan.

“I could have been a hippie,” said Jamal. “I’m one of those spiritual walking beings. I’ve never cursed offstage. I’ve never cursed, never tasted alcohol and been a vegan almost all my life. Never tried drugs. It’s just part of my nature. Now my mama, she cussed up a storm.”

Never cursed offstage? C’mon, A.J. Not even when you order the potato soup and find out the menu leaves off the key ingredient of BACON in it? You just politely tell the staff to bring you something else?

A stronger man than most will be.

John Salley is a vegan, but doesn’t think that will hurt his chances in the reality TV show I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here competition. In fact, the raw jungle is exactly what he needs to survive on daily.

“Yeah, I’m a Vegan and part of what I do is promote lifestyles, healthy lifestyles and when they ask me about obesity in the black and Latino world with these young kids, so I would teach about food and how food can help you and nourish you and the best thing about this is they’re going to put me in a jungle around a lot of green foliage and I can show you what the raw diet will do for your body. I’m going in with all green products if they’ll let me where it. I’ll just show you that you can be part of the environment.”

Salley does give a whole new meaning to the term “raw vegan” but hey, more power to him with his all you can eat green foliage buffet.  As long as he’s not feasting on any tarantulas, we know he’ll stay strong and true to his word.

Ah, John Robbins is such a hero.

The man gave up a zillion of a fortune as heir to the Baskin Robbins ice cream company to become an author and speak out against animal product industries that include 31 flavors of dairy.

In Processed People: The Documentary, Robbins states that even non-vegetarians would be turned off by the meat industry if they saw what went on behind closed doors.

“And the degree of cruelty that’s involved in modern meat production is so severe. You don’t have to a vegetarian, you don’t have to be an animal rights activist to find it deplorable – to find it appalling — if you actually see what it is, how far it’s gone, how grotesque. ”

Watch the clip to hear John talk about the horrors of the meat industry.

Alison Lohman stars in Drag Me To Hell, a horror movie about a really, really bad business decision.

Lohman plays a loan officer named Christine aspiring to be branch manager. She tries to impress the boss with her ability to make tough decision by, against her warm hearted instincts, turning down a loan extension to an old, gypsy woman.

Long story short, gypsy woman gets ticked off, follows Lohman to her car, attacks her, and puts a curse on her forever that ultimately results in Lohman falling onto train tracks before demons grab her and pull her into the pits of hell.

Before her demise, Lohman tries to undue her curse and save herself from damnation by sacrificing her pet kitten. Uncool. Very, uncool.

She again does something against her convictions, replying, “But I’m a vegetarian,” when told the evil spirits are kitty soul hungry.

What have we learned from this people?

1. Be nice to others during hard times and a recession. They just might curse you and your sky high interest rate.

2. Don’t forgo your vegetarian convictions because you think it will save your soul. Because you’ll be damned anyway. And in hell there are irate kitties, waiting to take their aggression out on you after putting up with years of the dog and toddler dressing them up in lingerie.

Note: Alison Lohman is a vegetarian and environmentalist in real life who would never sacrifice a cat in exchange for her soul.

Gary McKinnon, also known as SOLO, has been accused of hacking into several military computers, including the Army, Navy, and Pentagon, as well as NASA computers.

The Scottish ex systems administrator who was involved in what has been called the “biggest military computer hack of all time,” faces extradition to the U.S. to be tried for the crimes.

Friends and family say McKinnon doesn’t belong in the harsh prison system, his stepfather describing him as a “gentle guy,” and a pacifist who also happens to be vegetarian.

His mother said, “He loves to cook vegetarian food. He is so precise. Each mushroom has to be cut to exactly the same size.”

McKinnon has been diagnosed with a form of autism by famed psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and it’s thought the syndrome, which often is marked by isolated focus and obsessiveness, played a role in McKinnon’s alleged criminal behavior.

President Barack Obama put himself on the vegetarians’ blacklist when he went to Ray’s Hell Burger with vice president Joe Biden. He also rubbed conservatives the wrong way by ordering that fancy mustard crap.

Now, Barack’s at it again, going public with his beef transgressions, this time visiting Five Guys Burger and Fries with NBC journalist Brian Williams. Arrgh!

Obama ordered a cheeseburger with tomatoes and jalapenos and fries.

There was a whole lotta Twittering going on about the incident, including CBS radio White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who asked if the vegans were getting testy about it.

“Does Obama put the vegan vote in peril by going out for burgers?”

Mark may have been joking, but Obama’s recent choices in dining do raise some questions within the veg community, given his previous statements about fixing the healthcare system by starting with the American diet. A Five Guys visit could have easily been turned into a Subway visit or another restaurant that features plant based items as the main course, such as a Mediterranean eatery. 

Bill Clinton showed off his McDonald’s hopping for some time until heart troubles caused him to rethink his fast food foodie habits. We surely hope it won’t take a health scare (did Obama ever give up smoking?), to make America’s #1 man change where he grabs a bite between Supreme Court nomination briefings.

If you tuned in to TLC last night, you saw the lovely Mayim Bialik get a brand new look.

Apparently, the Blossom sitcom series star had still been wearing the frumpy 90s clothing she wore back in the days when Stacy London and Clinton Kelly cornered her and said, “It’s time for a change!”

A change it was, as Mayim was able to find some awesome vegan Doc Martens, as well as shop in environmentally conscious stores that sold sustainable clothing.

“I’m a vegan, and they found a lot of eco-conscious boutiques with hemp material, so that was great,” Mayim told The New York Post.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the hempest of them all? Probably The Hempest clothing shop complete with men’s and women’s clothing, as well as handbags and other accessories. If you’re in need of a hip hemp makeover, you might want to make a stop there online. 

Watch the clip to see Mayim get ticketed by the TLC fashion police.
