Unfortunately, it isn’t unheard of for a celebrity to make a gruesome appearance on stage involving animals, dead or alive.

Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a bat, which landed him at a hospital for a rabies shot.

Russell Brand, now a vegetarian, used to smash dead animals on stage.

But would vegetarian Kesha use a real animal’s heart as a prop and drink blood from it during one of her performances?

Carnivore, animal, is she a cannibal?

“I feel like I’m getting younger. I think when we think of aging we think of slowly falling apart, and I think it’s so amazing that you can grow stronger, more vibrant and more youthful as you get older, just from what you choose to eat.”

–Alicia Silverstone in Metro New York.

When an aspiring Biggest Loser heads to the kitchen and comes back with a low-fat drink made of almond milk, he’s not the loser for the week, regardless of weight lost.

On a recent episode, the contestants teamed up to make meals worthy of the praise of celebrity chefs and America’s Next Great Restaurant judges Curtis Stone and Lorena Garcia.

Ken and Hannah (not Barbie) teamed up to bring the judges a Chocolate Peppermint Shake that replaced dairy milk with almond milk.

The contestants on BBC’s television cooking show Masterchef got a lesson in meatless cooking when famed chef Yotam Ottolenghi stepped into the kitchens on the set during an episode where all meat products were banned.

Ottolenghi studied Philosophy before going on to learn cooking at London’s Cordon Bleu, then became a pastry chef for several London restaurants. For four years his weekly food column in The Guardian‘s weekend Saturday magazine was called “The New Vegetarian.”

During a previous episode of the New Zealand version of Masterchef, the show’s lone vegetarian chef was sent packing. So having an all-vegetarian challenge on the UK series was the perfect revenge for perhaps what may have be a veg-unfriendly environment on Masterchef.

Was it a good Meatless Monday? Or Meatless Madness?

Model Vida Guerra has shot a pro-vegetarian advertisement for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and is offering lucky viewers a chance to see exclusive, behind the scenes footage of her making the ad by donating to PETA.

Of course, it’s PETA, so viewers are guaranteed to see some skin!

Guerra chose to set up the donation site for her birthday, which is March 19, and is asking fans to give a gift to PETA’s efforts to promote vegetarianism and save animals instead of sending her cards, flowers and other gifts.

Growing up, Abbie Cornish always ate the meat and eggs from the animals her family raised. Although she was aware of where her food came from, she never learned what a vegetarian was until she was 13.

“I know in this day and age it’s hard to believe that,” Cornish said of her naivete. “I grew up on a farm, so I wasn’t indulged in magazines, newspapers, Internet, television. So for some reason I was never exposed to what a vegetarian was.”

Actually, given the fact some adults in the 40s and beyond don’t realize what’s acceptable for a vegetarian to eat and not eat, Cornish’s realization at 13 may actually be considered precocious.
