Vegetarian Star

It’s been years since the original MTV Real World cast member Eric Nies took off his shirt and enticed the ladies (and maybe the gentlemen) with his ripped abs.

Nies went on to become a vegan life coach.

Now, Callie from Texas on Real World XXIII, a female young enough to be Nies’ daughter is already ahead of the game, proudly announcing she’s already taken the road less traveled by cattle.

Would a vegan have even come out of the closet on MTV over a decade ago?

Between the two Real World stars, who would you rather do…

MTV Real World XXIII Washington, D.C. Callie-the vegan from Texas.

Ever wonder what it feels like to get a digital camera close up of the Boca Burger?

Are you a regular bacon person who always wanted to secretly look at soy bacon, but felt dirty about cheating?

Check out the Huffington Post’s slide on “Fake Meats: The Delicious and Dirty” to see how burgers, hot dogs and other faux meats can turn you on without turning your cholesterol level up.

Says the Post:

“We support how a vegetarian lifestyle can be good for the planet, but we also are proponents of eating real food, rather than food science projects. We’ve compiled some of the best and worst fake meats out there.”

Che the vegan dog will once again get to cheat on his diet by eating the stray neighborhood pets.

The Goode Family has returned to television, this time on Comedy Central instead of ABC.

What killed the recycling, veg eating, tree hugging, liberal family?

Big balls, according to Joe Hipps, vice president of TV production at Media Rights Capital.

“Its lead-in was ‘Wipeout,’ a game show with big red balls throwing people into the water,” Hipps said. “And then you’re going into a talky animated show? It never had a chance.”

Much like those poor alley cats never stood a chance when Che got a craving for something other than textured soy dog biscuits.

Wait. Stop joking about that. It’s only a little bit funny.

Now that The Goode Family is on the same cable television station home to the bad boys of  South Park, the family might have the opportunity to get a little dirtier–and that doesn’t mean tending to the organic vegetables in the backyard.

“Even though they were very professional about it, the censorship standards on ABC are very tight,” said John Altschuler, one of executive producers of the show, who said the team received a few dings, what some would call censorship. “You can do an awful lot about sex, but not about political thought. You can’t deal with race at all.”

Looking forward to seeing The Goode Family biking through town at 10PM Mondays on Comedy Central, opening their mouths and offending nearly everyone while reminding them to compost.

If you’re offered the pleasure of eating lunch or dinner with professional skateboard legend and video game guru Tony Hawk, ask him to buy you a veggie burger at The Counter Burger restaurant.

A weirdo like yourself will be pleased.

“Lunch at @counterburger is really good,” he Tweeted. “This is not a plug, just a recommendation. Even my finicky weirdo vegetarian friend likes it.”

The Counter Burger menu will allow you to pick your burgers (which will obviously be meat free), then customize the toppings.

And these are no ordinary toppings, veg friends.

Cranberries on a burger? You can have that, as well as pineapple, corn and black bean salsa, guacamole and of course the regular burger features like onions, tomatoes and lettuce

Sick of ketchup?

Try peanut sauce instead.

Or, you can opt for the already built Unique Veggie burger with organic mixed greens, roasted red peppers, sprouts, onions and Dijon Basalmic Dressing.

Counter Burgers on mostly located in U.S. California, but also in major cities in states like Illinois, Washington and the countries of Ireland and Australia.

Is Alexandra Burke looking to take advice from the very veggie and equally hot Leona Lewis?

According to News Of the World, Alexandra is expanding her options when dining out.

“I tried a vegan restaurant recently that Leona Lewis told me about. I was impressed. I hate training though, it’s the most boring thing in the world.”

Where is this restaurant again?

Burke said she tries to eat as healthy as possible before a photo shoot, but insists she never wants to whittle down to a Twiggy.

“Guys don’t like skinny girls, they like something to get hold of!” she said.

Hope Alexandra takes her own advice by putting a pat of vegan butter on her edamame next time.

Then she’ll really have the X Factor.

Alyssa Milano and her husband David Bugliari were spotted having dinner at the Sè San Diego Hotel restaurant Suite & Tender.

According to PEOPLE, the couple, “kept their menu vegetarian, ordering roasted butternut squash soup, sautéed seasonal mushrooms and creamed spinach, but saved room for dessert, digging in to the eatery’s signature Suite & Tender cheesecake.”

It’s not known if David is veg like Alyssa, but at least they agreed to eat on the same side of the food chain that evening.

Nothing ruins date night like kissing a pair of beef smelling lips.

Do you have a non veg partner who forces you to eat salad at the steakhouse? Or do you drag the hunter to the organic natural foods cafe to show him what eating “raw” is really about?

Bob Barker has always been outspoken on animal welfare issues, but has he joined Captain Paul Watson and the rest of the Sea Shepherd crew to thwart the whalers in the Southern Ocean?

Not quite (but hey, there’s always next season).

The Bob Barker is the latest ship to partake in the Sea Shepherd mission off the Adelie Coast.

The ship was refurbished thanks to a $5 million dollar donation by none other than Mr. Price is Right himself.

Check out the photo of Bob Barker (the ship) at tmz.com!

Kirstie Alley is one of those celebrities vegetarians loathe-she went veg, had a bad experienced and blabbed about it.

“I can’t tell you how much weight I gained being a vegetarian!” Kirstie said. “A vegetarian would probably be eating vegetables.”

You can probably guess from Kirstie’s statement she wasn’t eating vegetables.

But Kirstie recently expressed her desire to go veg again, this time partly for animal welfare reasons.

“I would love to become a vegetarian or at least eat very little meat,” Kirstie Tweeted. “The way animals are ofted is very brutal. I always struggle with this.”

Wow.

This isn’t just some Hollywood starlet trying tofu to take off the extra pounds!

Could Kirstie’s concern with animals raised for meat be the kicker she needs to learn the right way to eat vegetarian?
