Vegetarian Star

More details on the Chelsea Clinton and lifelong friend Marc Mezvinsky wedding are being leaked as the July 31st wedding date approaches.

It’s already been reported that the reception menu will contain vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free items. Now it’s been discovered that not only is Chelsea vegan, she is allergic to gluten and also follows a gluten-free diet, and the cake will be made with such specifications.

Gluten, the protein found in wheat, barley and rye causes small intestine damage to those with a sensitivity to it and prevents them from absorbing nutrients. Common alternatives include oats, millet, rice and items labelled “gluten-free,” but according to a new survey, there are many products claiming to be gluten-free that have been tested and contain contaminants.

Are treehuggers out to save the Earth to help everyone who inhabits it? Or will they take everything for themselves and tie-dye it?

Stephen Colbert pokes fun of environmentalists in this clip from his segment of On Topic: The Environment–Wimpy Treehuggers and Dirty Hippies from The Colbert Report.

He makes hypocrites out of a group of people rebuilding Noah’s ark to raise awareness about global warming, saying, “For a bunch of environmentalists, they’re sure cutting down a lot of trees.”

Freegans–those who eat leftover from the garbage–are not spared as well as the organic food industry.

“I’ve always been against organic foods. If I wanted to ingest something a hippie picked, I would eat an autoharp.”

Brigitte Bardot found out about the Russian entrepreneurs who made a donkey parasail over a beach, forcing beach goers that included children to hear the animal screaming in terror. Makes you wonder who was really the ass in that situation.

Pretty easy to guess she’s not too happy about the fact the two will not face animal cruelty or any other charges. That’s why she wrote to Russian prosecutor Yury Chaika, asking the Russian official to reconsider legal action against the donkey’s owner.

“The donkey was strapped to a parachute and for more than half an hour was sailing in the air, screaming from horror and causing shock amongst children and adults on the beach.”

Summertime makes you want to grab a box of Suddenly Salad and chow down on the colored pasta for the afternoon. Unless, of course, you’re not into tiny, dehydrated vegetables, and various milk, cheese and other dairy ingredients. And since when did Suddenly Salad have artichokes in it?

Jennifer “J.Woww” Farley of the MTV reality TV show Jersey Shore has launched her own line of clothing, Filthy Couture. The collection features swimsuit and casual wear, many of the items given a sexy touch with traces of lace.

“[For] the bathing suits I wanted to go with a grungy, or sexy-grungy look with the chains, but I also wanted to keep it girly with the lace,” Farley told People at the launch party for the line.

Best of all, Filthy Couture has been confirmed by Peta to contain no leather or fur, ensuring the wearer of the material looks her hottest.

“I am very proud of the fact that 20 years on people tell me they became a vegetarian as a result of ‘Meat is Murder. I think that is quite literally rock music changing someone’s life – it’s certainly changing the life of animals. It is one of the things I am most proud of. I think it was quirky to call the album ‘Meat is Murder’ and it was way ahead of its time, but we were on a label that let us do that kind of thing.”

–Johnny Marr, in a new book by author Neil Taylor titled “Document and Eyewitness: An Intimate History of Rough Trade” on how The Smith’s 1985 album Meat Is Murder inspired many of his fans to stop eating animals.

GZA is one of the founding members of the hip hop group Wu Tang Clan. This leader is not only an entrepreneur, he’s also an activist–he convinced the rest of the guys to go vegetarian. GZA interviewed with Eater on his diet, the band and his favorite veggie restaurants to patronize.

It all started with pork:
Yeah, none of the Clan members eat pork but you only have about four of us that are vegetarians, including DJ Mathematics — RZA, GZA, MastaKilla and oh! I think Meth is vegetarian now too! Cuz I used to always get on him with his steaks. I used to say you “you eatin’ a pig pussy T-Bone?” He’d be like, “C’mon Jus, cmon, GZA, man stop!” And then about a year and a half ago he was like, “You know I’m a vegetarian now, right?” I heard Redman was one too now actually.

Dita Von Teese has taken her burlesque striptease show to Paris, France, where she tantalizes with her sensual moves at the Crazy Horse. The American dancer divides her time between Paris and the United States, cramming in marathon French lessons and shopping at the markets in between routines, and admits she misses Los Angeles at times, partially because of the selection of vegetarian restaurants there.

“I miss driving my cars [Dita has a 1939 Chrysler New Yorker, a 1965 Jaguar S-type and a BMW Z4] and some of my favourite vegetarian restaurants, although I am not actually a vegetarian,” Von Teese told Connexion France.

France is sometimes known for being a paradise for meat eaters, but according to food blogger David Lebovitz, there’s no shortage in vegetarian fare in the City of Lights.
