Vegetarian Star

Miami Dolphins Ricky Williams is now an owner of a restaurant in the Z Ocean Hotel on Miami Beach’s Ocean Drive, PROOF.

Given the fact PROOF is co-owned, Ricky had to compromise on the menu to please his meat eating business partner, former NFL player Rudi Johnson.

But he made sure a “beefy” athlete like himself had plenty of vegetarian items to dine on that didn’t include the salad bar.

“I have to order sides because I’m a vegetarian,” Williams said. “Now I can order entrees.”

Those entrees include the “Ricky’s Picks” selections of margarita pizza, black bean burger, rice noodles and tofu and mushroom and assorted vegetables risotto.

PROOF opened with an invitation only party on November 17 and has been branded the “hip new tasty, yet health conscious restaurant and lounge.”

PROOF is located at 1458 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, Florida.

Joanna Krupa for PETA

A little bit of nakedness here and there never hurt anyone and certainly gets your attention for a good cause.

Dancing with the Stars competitor Joanna Krupa strips down to her wings to urge you to always adopt from a shelter.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, out of the 6-8 million dogs and cats who arrive at animal shelters every year, only 3-4 million of those are adopted.

You may not look as great in wings or on the dance floor as Joanna, but if you open your home to the animals in shelters waiting to be adopted, you’ll never be voted off the competition.

Anna Thomas and Alanis Morissette make kale salad. Photo: Media Bistro

Alanis Morissette hosted a party for vegetarian cookbook author Anna Thomas recently, and the festivities included getting her hands down and deep into calcium rich kale.

Thomas is the author of Love Soup: 160 All-New Vegetarian Recipes from the Author of The Vegetarian Epicure, which was released in September of this year.

Thomas’s book contains recipes for a variety of soups, such as rustic leek and potato, minestrone, and tomato and fennel.

Love Soup, called “the most influential cookbooks in the history of modern vegetarian cuisine” by the Chicago Sun Times, is the handy guide you need for seasonal recipes to please palates at any party.

And it costs so much less than an appearance by Alanis.

Ah, gossip.

No one ever said all of it was true.

As we speculated, Stella McCartney has informed the press that she has no knowledge of a fashion line collaboration between her and Leona Lewis.

“I’ve never heard anything about it – it’s news to me!” Stella told Grazia.

We have heard, however, that Stella is doing a Spring collection for her children’s line with Baby Gap and Gapkids.

Look for leather free spring wear for the little ones in March 2010.

It’s like pork Deja Vu all over again, this time creepier, with more killing and saturated fat.

This year for the holidays, Paula Deen donated a lot of ham to charity–25,000 pounds to be exact.

But it was the ham that bit back as someone threw the ham like a football and it smacked Paula in the face.

The Associated Press reported Paula said she was okay and it just “knocked me for a little bit” and she later Tweeted, “I’ve never met a ham that hasn’t stopped me yet.”

But ham, along with other meat, can stop people with its saturated fat and cholesterol levels, not to mention the horrible conditions pigs are kept in factory farms that send a personal invitation to diseases like swine flu.

Let that smack on the head serve as a wake up call, Paula.

Ruben Studdard invited the company of a vegan chef over recently.

From a recent Tweet:

“Yall I have a Vegan Chef coming over tonight to teach me how to make a few dishes. Check out my blog site tonight for pictures of the meal.”

Ah, to have your own personal veggie chef…No more frozen beans and rice dishes.

Will Ruben hire a permanent personal chef like Red Hot Chili Peppers front man Anthony Kiedis?

If you’re in the San Fransisco area and in need of a personal vegan chef, why not give Jesse Miner a call?

A longtime vegan himself, Jesse has been featured in VegNews magazine and received the Personal Chefs Network 2008 Pacesetter Award.

“Sex feels good, but we don’t go around having sex with anyone that attracts our attention. We say no to lots of things that would please us. I would like to punch people every now and then, but I don’t. I would like to have something for free rather than pay for it. I would like to skip to the front of the line… I don’t mean to brush aside the taste of meat, which is a powerful attraction. But its power is not without limit.”

—-Jonathan Safran Foer, answering the question of “What do I say to the idiotic line, “But they taste good” ???” during a online discussion of his book, Eating Animals.

Yeah, it never pays to be a meat slut. Ruins your health and reputation.
