Vegetarian Star

Ethical fashion designer and daughter of ex Beatle Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney, recently opened one of her clothing boutiques in Paris, France.

She shared the evening with dad Paul and his girlfriend, some say fiancee Nancy Shevell.

Being the vegetarian family they are, the McCartneys and Nancy had a gourmet veg dinner at Le Grand Vefour which included artichoke crème brulee.

Shevell is probably learning to love all the veg food she can if she’s going to wed Paul soon. She’s already been reported to have quit eating meat to please Paul earlier in their relationship.

My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero has completed a project for MacBeth Shoes that will allow wearers to screw cancer and vegan at the same time. Hot!

The shoe contains detailed print instructions, complete with anatomically correct characters on the insoles, which show the wearer how to check for breast and testicular cancer. Frank was both the fashion developer and the artist for these shoes, as he drew the figures inside the soles.

In an interview with Alternative Press, Frank said he based the design off a previous vegan shoe, then elaborated a little.

“I based it off the older design that I had–it was called the Wallister. I [designed] another pair–I think it was one of the first they developed. I took some stuff from that, and just added and took away as far as the canvas, low-top shoe. For my [new] design concept I just drew a couple of pictures, and that’s what came out.”

On the heels, there are two messages, depending on if you want rated PG or more risque, you can choose between “F**k Cancer” or “Cancer Fighter.”

Frank knows the ugliness of cancer personally, as his aunt is a breast cancer survivor who also had a relapse.

A portion of the proceeds go to Syrentha Savio Endowment, a non-profit organization focused on fighting breast cancer.

When we found out actor and brother of Kyra Sedgwick, Rob Sedgwick had co-founded a vegan ice cream parlor in New York, we got on the phone pronto begging for his attention. Actually, we didn’t have to beg, as he happily agreed to talk to us about Stogo, which currently offers 20 dairy free flavored varieties.

On his Steak and Egg Eating Habits
That was joke [what was mentioned in the New York Observer]. I eat very well. I eat salads and I never eat fried stuff. But I’ve certainly had a more “conventional diet.”

On being a non vegan running a vegan ice cream shop
It’s valuable to have someone like me [non vegan] because I’ve eaten a lot of ice cream in my life. I think it tastes better than conventional ice cream. You don’t have that same sort of “blah” afterwards because it’s soy based and much lighter.

Everyone wants to have their own business. I think it’s a great idea. It’s a unique idea. In the beginning it took awhile to get the formula down, but now that we’ve got the formula down…You start off with one perception and then you’re expectations change and your goals change as you get further involved with something. Where I’m at now with this stuff, it’s the best stuff out there. It tastes sensational.

And people are genuinely happy. It’s wonderful seeing people that aren’t just, “Oh good it’s a dessert fix.” It’s more of a lifestyle thing.

Do you personally know any vegans or vegetarians?
Sure, we had vegan investors. My business partner is a vegan.

His favorite flavors
I love the chocolate fudge brownie. I love the mixed berry. But that’s like choosing among your kids.

Plans for future acting?
If the acting comes along [I’ll do it]. I’m having more fun writing (he recently completed a book on his memoirs) and doing the ice cream now, frankly. The nice thing about the ice cream thing that I wasn’t anticipating is it’s making people so happy, which is really quite wonderful. I think it’s also getting into that particular lifestyle. It’s not just vegan or health food people, it’s people who are lactose intolerant. We get a lot of people in here who just really dig the product.

On yet another hilarious episode of The Office recently, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) decides to get even with the crew for not paying attention to his Power Point presentation on fire safety by setting up a fake fire to test their fire response and preparedness abilities.

You can watch the episode after reading this post, if you’d like.

After the room is filled with smoke and people are attempting to evacuate via the ceiling, Dwight reveals it was all just to test their fire safety knowledge.

Branch manager Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) offered to donate money to a charity Dwight hates in order to compensate for the failed experiment and Dwight picks PETA.

Safe to say Dwight’s not moving to implement any Meat-Free Mondays at the office soon.

Is hip hop becoming vegetarianized?

Russell Simmons has always been open about his vegan lifestyle he’s practiced for almost a decade.

Recently, half of hip hop duo Capone-N-Noreaga, N.O.R.E., documented his successful weight loss by following a vegan diet and even changed the name of his blogs to reflect his diet switch.

Now, Masta Killa of Wu Tang Clan has recorded his PSA for vegetarianism. Good to know he’s not recording a PSA for the veggie burger on waffles his band mate RZA created.

Masta’s been vegetarian for 13 years, ever since he decided to forgo the turkey at Thanksgiving.

Perhaps what’s even more exciting is that he’s normally the group member who doesn’t give many interviews!

It’s great to see African-Americans speak up about vegetarianism and hopefully, they can influence other minorities to adopt the lifestyle known to reduce their chances of developing diabetes and high blood pressure, illnesses known to disproportionately affect those communities.

If Masta Killa doesn’t convince you to go veg, his adorable son, Eternal sure will.

PETA

Canadian gluttons unite! Silverstein band is challenging you to eat as many KFC vegan faux chicken sandwiches and tell them about it.

The guys in the band held their own eating competition between themselves and video taped the experience. Guitarist Josh Bradford took home to pig-out trophy with a whopping six sandwiches.

KFC Canada is so far the only KFC to offer the vegetarian version of their classic chicken sandwich, this coming after protests from many, including Pamela Anderson, to treat chickens more humanely before and during slaughter.

If you think you can beat Josh, or even if you come close, then take a photograph of yourself in action stuffing your face with a vegan KFC sandwich in a most creative way and enter to win by emailing the photos to StreetTeam@peta2.com by March 31st or snail mail them to

peta2’s Silverstein Contest
501 Front St.
Norfolk, VA 23510
USA

If you can’t make it to KFC, you can fix vegan food at home and capture yourself being a glutton and send them to the same address.

The owner of the most creative photo wins a Hitachi DZGX5020A DVD Camcorder.

Citysearch.com is the place to go to find out where all the restaurants, clubs, and hot business you’ll need in whatever city you’re dwelling in or passing through. It never hurts to have a personal recommendation, though, and Cobra Starship hottie Gabe Saporta has given his top picks.

The vegetarian singer who recently posed with a bunny in an anti-fur ad admits he can only eat a couple of meals at the restaurant he’s an investor of, Employees Only, a New York city establishment fashioned after a Prohibition-era speakeasy, where all you see is a psychic you must walk past before approaching a door labeled “Employees Only,” that leads to the food.

He can, however, eat more than a couple of dishes at Red Bamboo in NY.

“I wouldn’t be doing myself justice if I omitted a vegetarian spot from my list (after all, there are only two dishes I can eat at my own restaurant). Veggie food is usually bland and annoyingly health-conscious. Red Bamboo, however, serves veggie ‘soul-food.’ Seriously. Creole soul chicken, Cajun fried shrimp and barbecue buffalo wings–all meatless! Even non-vegetarians will love this food.”

Gabe loves both LA and NY spots, so visit his City Search list to learn the WWGG-Where Would Gabe Go?.

PETA is known for its double and triple dipping. They have several Sexiest Vegetarian Contests yearly and crowned both Oprah and Leona Lewis as Person of the Year by their U.S. and UK divisions, respectively.

Now, Pink has taken the title of yet another Person of The Year, this time in the Libby Awards held by peta2.org.

The vegetarian singer has been an animal rights activist in many causes, such as appearing on a Billboard in Times Square to protest the horse drawn carriage industry to having a beef with Prince William for his habit of shooting animals for sport.

Other celebrities that were winners in the contest include Murs, for best hip hop artist, Rise Against for Most Animal Friendly band, and Mac Danzig for Most Animal Friendly athlete.
