Vegetarian Star

Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, owns two rescue dogs, Pedro, a one-eyed Chihuahua, and Maggie.

The 140 character guru who’s visit to a farm animal sanctuary turned him vegan gave the New York Times a glimpse into a day in his life, which includes waking up at 7AM to feed his dogs, or risk them getting “feisty.”

Breakfast or any other meal might consist of a combination of southern and Turkish cooking, thanks to his wife’s mixed heritage.

“Lately, it’s been southern style biscuits from scratch. We’re both vegan. Her dad is from Nashville and her mom is from Istanbul, so there’s an interesting range of influence in her cooking.”

Biz failed to say if the rescue dogs get feisty if not given a taste of southern biscuits.

Lea Michele has admitted to her two favorite guilty pleasures, and they’re both in the sweet tooth category.

Michele told Stylist:

“Dark chocolate and vegan cupcakes! My guilty pleasure used to be cheese but since I’ve become a vegan I’ve found that vegan desserts taste better than any regular dessert, so that’s what I go to immediately. I’m obsessed with Smart Water. I drink it all day long. I used to be a really big coffee drinker and then I just decided to cut down.”

Unfortunate that Michele is representing Dove Hair Care Products, because according to the Caring Consumer Database, Dove/Unilever is a company that still conducts animal testing.

Cloris Leachman has recorded a hilarious PSA about spaying and neutering pets for PETA.

Leachman fumbles with opening a condom package, which may have been a little easier if she had claws like a cat. Similarly, the unwanted pet population could be lower if cats knew how to use condoms.

“Condoms come in handy when you want to have some fun but you don’t want to get pregnant. Unfortunately, millions need this protection..Can’t even get the damn things out of the package…I’m talking about cats and dogs.”

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.

Most recently her adventures took her to England to raise awareness for biodiversity, but she says the best meals she eats overseas are in Italy.

When not in Italy, she’s probably brown bagging it.

“I usually bring my own food because I’m a vegetarian and you can’t always count on finding good vegetarian food abroad,” the actress told The Independent, which profiles some of her travel experiences.

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.
