The Cribs Add Johnny Marr Over Vegetarian Barbecue

Isle Of Wight Festival 2008 - Day 2

The story of boy meets band is always exciting to hear, and according to the Boston Herald, ex Smith’s musician Johnny Marr met with the other members of The Cribs over a vegetarian barbecue in Portland, Oregon.

“At first it was a little weird,” Gary Jarman, bassist and singer of The Cribs said. “I couldn’t figure out who this guy was. Why was another Englishman there? Then the penny dropped. It was Johnny Marr! He said how much of a fan of the band he was. That would have been enough for me because he was such an influence.”

Hopefully Jarman hadn’t drank a lot of soda at the barbecue, causing him to belch when Johnny extended his hand.

Johnny has been officially playing with brothers Gary, Ryan and Ross since 2008

Rock A Little, Feed Alot Benefit Concert - Arrivals

Christina Applegate knows where to get the good pizza in Chicago.

Or does she?

In a recent Tweet, Applegate seemed tired of veggies and wholesome wheat crust.

“My favorite is in Chicago at Due’s or Gino’s. And NY pizza anywhere there. I don’t want whole wheat,soy,veggie,blah!”

If Applegate is still a vegetarian, that only leaves cheese as a topping!

Who can resist the Gino’s Vegetarian with asparagus, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, red peppers, yellow squash and zucchini?

Is Chi-Town the place where Christina cheats?

Or does she prefer Gino’s four cheese with a garlic butter base?

The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine has named Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin‘s Skinny Bitch In The Kitch one of five best cookbooks of the decade.

From a press release:

“Skinny Bitch in the Kitch provides healthy vegan recipes that actually taste good, from Bitchtastic Brownies to dairy-less Fettuccini Alfredo.”

It’s those Bitchtastic Brownies that made Bitch in the Kitch a New York Times Bestseller.

As expected Alicia Silverstone‘s The Kind Diet made the cut, as well as The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen, The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn and Cooking the Whole Foods Way by Christina Pirello.

Heather Mills “Dancing On Ice” Vegan Chocolate Cake Rewards

Heather Mills Launches V-Bites Restaurant

Hard work calls for celebration.

The Mirror reported the contestants on Dancing on Ice were given chocolate skate shaped cakes for their efforts, but not every competitor was delighted.

“Only vegan Heather Mills moaned about them,” said a source.

Heather probably moaned from disappointment rather the discontent, as she knows there are plenty of good vegan cakes in the world to reward yourself for a good day on the ice.

Like the homemade vegan cakes (some of which are gluten-free) in her own restaurant, V Bites.

Heather probably keeps a few slices in her locker, next to that extra pair of blade covers.

PETA “MoD: Go Fur Free” Queen Guards Fur Hat Ad Pulled

PETA Bear Cap Ad "MoD: Go Fur Free"

PETA Bear Cap Ad "MoD: Go Fur Free"

Another PETA ad has been pulled this year and it’s only the month of January.

The PETA bear cap ad was supposed to be shown on 25 London buses in an attempt to draw attention to the killing of black bears used for fur in making the Queen’s guards’ hats.

The ad showed a guard with a bear’s bloody head on his head with the tagline: “MoD: Go Fur-Free. It can take the entire hide of one bear just to make one cap.”

According to Media Company, the manager of the buses objected to the ad.

‘Tradition’ is no excuse for cruelty, and we plan to make this the year that everyone hears about how slowly the British military adapts to change,” said PETA’s Poorva Joshipura.

PETA wants the guards hats fashioned from faux fur.

Michael Jackson Giraffes Die

Thriller and Sabu may be living a luxurious life in an animal sanctuary, but Michael Jackson‘s giraffes aren’t doing so well.

Two of the animals that once made their home at the Neverland Ranch have died in the past few months, one in November and the other this month.

PETA is concerned the animals died from neglect and is asking the city to confiscate the remaining animals.

“We’re asking the city of Page to confiscate the two remaining giraffes and relocate them to a facility that can provide them with appropriate care before it’s too late,” the group said in a statement.

Foul play is not suspected at this time.

The owners of the land the giraffes were living on in Page, Arizona, Freddie and Tom Hancock said, “We’ve had them for 3½ years, and they are like our children. We’re just absolutely devastated by the death of these giraffes.”

The Hancocks were supposed to pay $100,000 to insure the giraffes, and claimed officials never gave them the papers to get the process going.

The money has not been received and the city is in the process of evicting the couple from the land.

Bethenny Frankel Signs Copies of her new book 'The Skinnygirl Dish' New York

Think Bethenny Frankel doesn’t include genuine vegetarian dishes in her latest cookbook, The Skinnygirl Dish?

Then it’s time to check out her recipe for Easy Artichokes.

“The trick is to cook the artichoke hearts until they are really crispy,” Bethenny said, according to NY Daily News. “Before you start making this recipe, defrost the artichokes in the refrigerator. Put them there a day ahead. Before cooking, drain them very well in a colander for about 15 minutes and then press on them gently with paper towels.”

Bethenny’s mentioned before she encourages substitutions, so feel free to use mushrooms if no artichokes are available or any other citrus juice instead of lemon juice.
