Vegetarian Star

Miami Dolphins Ricky Williams is now an owner of a restaurant in the Z Ocean Hotel on Miami Beach’s Ocean Drive, PROOF.

Given the fact PROOF is co-owned, Ricky had to compromise on the menu to please his meat eating business partner, former NFL player Rudi Johnson.

But he made sure a “beefy” athlete like himself had plenty of vegetarian items to dine on that didn’t include the salad bar.

“I have to order sides because I’m a vegetarian,” Williams said. “Now I can order entrees.”

Those entrees include the “Ricky’s Picks” selections of margarita pizza, black bean burger, rice noodles and tofu and mushroom and assorted vegetables risotto.

PROOF opened with an invitation only party on November 17 and has been branded the “hip new tasty, yet health conscious restaurant and lounge.”

PROOF is located at 1458 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, Florida.

Tony La Russa and his wife Elaine founded the La Russa Animal Rescue Foundation, which provides vet services to abandoned animals.

La Russa, a vegetarian, loves animals so much, his wife joked that he married her to get to the dog.

“When we got married, he wasn’t as hard-core as I was,” Elaine said. “His mother had a fear of them. I often joke he married me because I came with a dog and cat. Now we have hundreds or thousands.”

The ARF began when La Russa picked up a stray cat at a baseball game.

There were no no-kill shelters in the area of Walnut Creek, California, so Tony started his own.

Almost 20 years later, that kitty and almost 20,000 animals that have been adopted have thanked Tony.

Tony uses his celebrity status to garner corporate sponsors and donations to maintain the 37,000 square foot facility.

Tony Gonzalez October Gonzalez for PETA

Tony Gonzalez and his wife October Gonzalez are starring in a new anti-fur ad that’s so hot, it will knock the hairs off your own body!

After shooting the ad, Tony and October sat down to discuss the effects of a plant based diet on their health and the animals.

“What goes on in the industry, the treatment of animals is just ridiculous,” Tony says.

“They pump them full of hormones, they feed them corn-which is not their natural diet.”

“These animals are miserable from the second they are born to the second they die,” October adds.

“We have a voice. And that’s why we’re doing something like this…If enough people stand up and say something about it, it will end,” Tony says.

Watch the clip for more and scenes from the photo shoot!

PETA has published its annual list of most vegetarian friendly football stadiums and the Oakland Raiders came in first place with their home turf at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.

“Delicious, cholesterol-free vegetarian food could help offset JaMarcus Russell induced chest pains among Raiders fans and prevent the need for quadruple bypass surgery,” says PETA Director Dan Shannon. “The best way that people can sack potential health problems and hit pay dirt for animals and the environment is to choose vegan foods every chance they get.”

JaMarcus fans have no excuse for downing artery clogging foods, as the Raiders’ stadium serves veggie burgers, veggie dogs, burritos and salads.

Some of our favorites include Tony Gonzalez‘s Atlanta Falcons‘ Georgia Dome, which features baked five-spice seasoned tofu, curried grilled tofu cutlets and soba noodle stir-fry.

Wow. Is this a stadium or an upscale restaurant?

For the Mediterranean football lovers, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Heinz Field offers hummus.

Next year we’re hoping they add some falafel to go along with it. And some belly dancers who…oh, never mind that’s another male bonding form of entertainment.

Is Lamar Odom a veghead?

The basketball player and newlywed husband to Khloe Kardashian was spotted leaving a vegetarian restaurant recently by an X17 reporter.

Lamar and Khloe did attend the Stop Puppy Mills Humane Society event.

Sure would be great if another animal loving vegetarian athlete came out with a veg PSA that’s more viral than his sister-in-law’s sex tape.

Oh,  no. We did not go there.

Leilani Munter.

The self described “vegetarian hippie chick” Leilani Munter has made it to the top 10 finals in the Project Green Search, “Green It Girl” contest as a result of fans voting online.

The winner will be crowned next month in Los Angeles and will be the next “Green It Girl,” serving as a green “Miss America” that will promote environmental issues, animal and human rights.

Leilani is a race car driver, who not only advocates a vegetarian diet to protect the environment, but implements eco friendly initiatives at the race track, such as encouraging fans to leave their plastic bottles at the track that are later used to make t-shirts.

Good luck Leilani!

Poker playing champion Daniel Negreanu takes a little humorous heat from his buddies every now and then for his herbivore diet, as he described during a recent blog entry at cardplayer.com:

“After dinner we all went to my house to do a golf pool for the tournament. Then, Erick went after my books again. I have boxes of my book at home that are there for me to sign and he likes to mess with them, writing messages on random pages. He’ll write “I hit the ball like a vegan, signed Daniel Negreanu” or other equally stupid stuff.”

Considering this vegan since 2003 has several poker accomplishments under his belt, we’d saying hitting the ball like a veg ain’t a bad thing at all.

Keep workin’ the vegan chips, Daniel!

Chris Rock was on the The Jay Leno Show recently when he started talking about Michael Vick.

According to girliegirlarmy.com, Chris said:

“What the hell did Michael Vick do, man? A dog, a pit bull ain’t even a real dog. A pit bull, that’s the white stuff. Dogs are white mans best friend – dogs have never been good to black people.”

Wow.

Talk about cruel, offensive, and plain stupid.

We bet the inner city kids benefiting from the anti-dog fighting outreach efforts of the Humane Society would say their pit bulls are their best friends and they’re thankful someone other than Chris Rock taught them about how to love a pet.

But heck, why are we even paying attention to Chris Rock?

He’s not even a real comedian anyway.
