Vegetarian Star

Russell Brand

Russell Brand has a new book out, Booky Wook 2: This Time It’s Personal, a follow up to the autobiography My Booky Wook, which described much of Brand’s trials of sex and drug addiction and rehab. Brand took to Twitter to pose for a lovely unoffiical promo photo, showing his love for veggie snacks too.

A description from Amazon says Booky Wook 2 is told from a more sober Brand and “ushers in an unforgettable and raucous ride through chat shows, tabloid scandals, and Hollywood, all the while detailing Brand’s search for the contentment that fame can’t quite grant.”

Speaking of drug-free, sobriety and rehab, Brand never had a “relapse” in vegetarianism, as he discussed in My Booky Wook.

Emily Deschanel‘s co-star on Bones’, David Boreanaz, was a guest at the ceremony and reception for the actress’ recent wedding. Boreanz said the food featured some lovely seitan imitating chicken, which lead to a hilarious discussion of vegan weddings (did she marry a man from Venus) and whether or not food was incorporated into the ceremony to make it vegan.

Deschanel managed to convince Boreanz to eat vegetarian at least once a week.

“A lot of the reason is the attitude that if you slip up, there is no use trying it anymore. Imagine applying that to anything else: truth telling or being kind to strangers. If every time we slipped up, we said, “I’m done trying,” then what would we be left with?”

–author Jonathan Safran Foer, when asked why people become ex-vegetarians.

Do you agree with his answer?

While we’re still waiting for John Salley‘s natural food line to come out, it’s still exciting to hear Spider Legs discuss his favorite meals he likes to whip up at home.

The NBA legend is a fan of vegan mayonnaise Vegenaise and enjoys smothering it on an avocado sandwich and washing the whole thing down with some homemade root beer.

“I do something like an avocado sandwich with Vegenaise, mustard, live sprouts, grape tomatoes and some toasted bread,” Salley told Tampa Bay. “I eat avocado almost every day. I may mix bananas, mangoes, papayas and blend it up.”

A video on Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary features a talk with Moby, who recently performed an acoustic, benefit show on the grounds.

Moby says his favorite animals at the sanctuary are goats.

“They generally tend to have the most personality,” Moby said.

Growing up, some of Moby’s earliest memories were of him, pet rats, cats and dogs–all hanging around the bathtub. The turkey sitting next to him seems very interested in this story, but probably got a little offended that he wasn’t named a favorite.

For more information on the sanctuary, visit WoodstockSanctuary.org.

“How many people have hybrids in this town, how many people recycle? Being vegetarian is so much more eco-conscious. And it’s lovely to know that when you are eating it’s ethical and nothing had to die. I’d have a veggie burger even when I was eating meat.”

—Owain Yeoman, star on The Mentalist, at Peta’s 30th anniversary gala. Although he said a raw food experiment “didn’t sit well,” with him, Yeoman’s been a vegetarian for 2 years and a vegan for 6 month, making him super green and eco-conscious.

There’s nothing more adorable than pig that’s so smart it ranks up there with a toddler in intelligence. That’s why the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a Facebook application that aims to increase awareness about the creatures.

After doing well and earning titles like “Weaner” “Porker” and “Whole Hog,” players can advance to the section that allows them to answer pig trivia.
