Vegetarian Star

Tiffani Thiesen has fallen to the call of the cow and is blaming it all on her in utero growth.

She only has three months left until her first child is due.

At the USA Network and Vanity Fair bash in New York, she told People magazine, “I was a vegetarian for many, many, many years and all of a sudden I started to crave red meat.”

If that’s not enough to send a vegetarian mother into early labor, Tiffani revealed she had just devoured some animal before making her grand public appearance.

“Crazy enough, I had a steak before I left tonight and I would never have eaten one before. One day I just woke up and craved meat.”

Crazy, indeed.

One study published in Hypertension found children of women who consumed a diet high in animal protein and low in carbohydrates had higher blood pressure as adults.

Hopefully, in three months Tiffani will be back on the veggie wagon and little baby will never be forced to eat pureed beanie weenies when it starts to show some incisors.

Andrew McMahon, musician for the bands Something’s Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin, tried going veg on his last tour, but that lasted as long as a one hit wonder.

From The Phillyist:

We understand that you went vegetarian on that tour, so we have to ask: Did you have trouble resisting the urge to head to Jim’s for a greasy, diet-busting cheesesteak?

“I guess I break all sorts of promises in Philly. Haha. I’m definitely not a veggie anymore, though I do lean that direction. [But] I’ve never been a red meat dude, so cheesesteaks aren’t really my thing, as sacrilegious as that is to admit to a local.”

Vegetarian Star would love to say what happens in Philly stays in Philly, but unfortunately, it gets published on blogs that like to talk about musicians that give into greasesteaks when no one is looking.

Luckily, Andrew’s flexitarian ways that bend him more towards vegetarianism save him from being completely ribbed.

Andrew and the rest of Jack’s Mannequin will be performing at the Electric Factory in Philly. Tickets are sold out, but if you offer someone in the city a great tasting faux cheesesteak, you might score yourself a seat.

“I think PETA is very positive and has accentuated my image. It doesn’t matter if It’s good or bad if it gets people talking and caring about important things. It’s a “now that I have your attention” kind of thing. (PETA) are smart, funny, good-hearted people who love animals.”

—-Pamela Anderson, during an interview on how working with the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals affects her image.

Something about Pamela definitely grabs your attention. Whether or not it’s her conversation on animal issues has yet to be determined.

Jack Hanna appeared on the Early Show where he discussed the recent tragedy of the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau by a killer whale.

Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez questioned SeaWorld’s judgement for keeping Tilikum, given the fact the whale had been implicated in the death of other trainers.

Hanna defended both SeaWorld and the practice of keeping whales in captivity.

“I take my hat off to SeaWorld to take a killer whale that someone said we should euthanize, (and) bring it to SeaWorld,” Hanna said.

“We do everything we can (to put) the safety of our animals and visitors first. The SeaWorld in-vitro planted, they can now take sperm and eggs and have a baby killer whale. Let’s say 20, 30 years from now, there’s 200 killer whales left in the wild. Let me tell you where we’re going to go: We’re going to go to SeaWorld and see what to to save this magnificent creature. That’s how valuable it is for what we’re doing with research. I hear all these other people commenting with killer whales. Give me a break. Seaworld are the ones that know more about killer whales, and the millions of dollars they spend this rescuing whales is unbelievable. And we put them back out in the wild. So no one hears about this.”

What’s your take on whales being kept in marine parks like SeaWorld?

Gordon Ramsay may be trying to make up with vegetarians after a slew of negative comments about the diet.

However, an experience that occurred while cooking a vegan dish may make him even more bitter.

The Kitchen Nightmares chef nicked his finger while he was cutting vegetables on Ellen DeGeneres‘ show.

Gordon seemed surprised that a great cook like himself would ever make such a mistake.

“I haven’t cut myself in 10 years,” he said.

Grab the recipe for Spicy Vegetable Stir Fry containing fresh carrots, mushrooms and other vegetables sauteed in agave sweetened sauce, but don’t hurt yourself like Gordon.

Knives are sharp. Accidents happen. Be careful in the kitchen!

PETA’s plans to put up a billboard using the Tiger Wood‘s mistress scandal to call attention to spaying and neutering animals has been placed on hold.

The billboard planned to feature Tiger next to PETA’s famous ad line, “Too Much Sex Can Be A Bad Thing,” followed by “for little Tigers too.”

In a statement obtained by X17online, PETA explained Tiger’s legal team has thwarted their plans.

“We apologize, but in light of conversations we have had with Mr. Woods’ attorneys, we cannot get permission to use the artwork at this time.”

If every politician, pro athlete and regular Joe’s private life was threatened by PETA’s pubic service example setting, would divorce lawyers still be in business?

Alyson Hannigan is quite the locavore.

If she can’t find the produce she wants at the nearby Farmers Market, she’ll go straight to her backyard.

“We go to the farmers market all the time,” she told Mother Nature Network. “We’re putting in an organic garden to grow things I can’t get at the farmers market.”

What does the How I Met Your Mother actress plan to put in her soil?

“We’ll do unusual lettuces and a particular kind of cucumber and a lot of different herbs.”

No pesticides, no fuel used in transport, no worrying about double bagging the produce so your eco-friendly laundry detergent doesn’t accidentally season your red leaf lettuce.

Backyard organic gardening sounds like the way to go!
