Vegetarian Star

Paul McCartney has hinted he may play for the Obamas soon.

According to green gossip site Ecorazzi, the vegetarian musician conducted an online chat where he hinted his next stop would be at Pennsylvania Avenue.

“There’s been some rumors and I think we can give you a clue. Think White House. Think playing… If there is an announcement mentioning the White House, remember where you heard it first.”

Nice!

White House chef Sam Kass will surely be pulling up veggies from the South Lawn garden to whip up something deliciously meatless for the guest, if he should make the president’s home a stop on his tour.

Eco-Sex

Octomom Nadya Suleman said during a press event about her agreeing to hang a PETA sign on her home advocating spaying and neutering that she felt the cause was necessary–at least for four legged animals.

“I love animals and I do believe they should be spayed or neutered,” Suleman was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying. “Humans of course are much different.”

Any number of good jokes could be inserted here, but Stefanie Iris Weiss, a vegetarian for 20 years and author of a new book about greening your sex life, Eco-Sex, gives insight for why some consider getting themselves or their two legged pet fixed.

An excerpt from the book about the carbon footprint of tykes after the break.

Simple Minds’ Jim Kerr may be excited to start a brand new solo career at the age of 50, but he still feels like crap on an everyday basis.

The former husband of Chrissie Hynde whom he has one daughter with, recently admitted there’s something about his vegan diet that’s not going so well.

“I feel like sh*t,” he told the Times Online. “Don’t be fooled by appearances. I’ve been vegetarian since the night I met Chrissie Hynde but I was still eating fish. So at Christmas I gave up fish, I gave up dairy, I gave up coffee and now I feel like crap.”

Could Jim have benefited from picking up a copy of Living Vegan for Dummies?

The book serves as an all in one guide for starting the lifestyle, from recipes to pantry stocking to fake meats.

It even comes with a convenient cheat sheet for speaking the vegan language.

Lucy Clarkson formerly posed as a model for Lara Croft, a character known for raiding ancient tombs and ruins, but she’s not likely to raid the ancient caveman’s closet for his fur shawl.

Clarkson took the time to pose in nothing more than a painted on suit to protest the use of using real bear fur in the Queen’s guards’ hats.

A spokesperson from the Ministry of Defence has commented on the use of bear fur in the hats and on the possibility of using fake fur in the future.

Although Erin McKenna may run the very popular and successful BabyCakes Bakeries in New York and California, home to the vegan, gluten-free and mostly sugar free desserts, she didn’t always have the vegan dough to put out for buying all the ingredients when experimenting in the kitchen.

According to a recent story in LA Weekly, McKenna worked three jobs as a waitress, had no credit and no money to put down to purchase products while she formulating her recipes for the restaurant.

So if anyone is ever upset that a spelt or gluten free Red Velvet Cupcake costs $4.25, it’s not like she’s not feeling your pain.

The baker who’s treats were voted best by New York Magazine said, “People get upset because they think it’s really expensive,” adding that prices will come down once more people get on the healthy eating bandwagon.

Yes, we are all looking forward to the day when dairy-free, gluten-free muffins can be bought for $2 from the vending machine just like the ones that guy name Otis makes.
