Vegetarian Star

Although she makes an appearance as the Nightclub girl in her most recent movie, How To Lose Friends and Alienate People, Alexandra Aitken doesn’t have a lot of party gal inside her.

‘I don’t smoke, I don’t drink and I’m vegan,’ she said, according to the UK Daily Mail. ”I meditate for hours every day. It’s given me much more energy.”

Meditation is more than a personal hobby, but a business of hers as well. She’s a yoga teacher, offering classes in Kundalini yoga and Gong Healing-a technique that uses sounds and vibrations to help you relax.

Nothing about a gong or being vibrated sounds relaxing, but we trust Alexandra and thousands of others who rely on the practice.

After completing seven months of intensive training at a California retreat, Alexandra decided to open up shop on her own.

Florida’s House of Representatives member Bill Galvano had a habit of ordering a particular sandwich at Andrew’s Capital Bar and Grill in Tallahassee more than a fiscal conservative votes against more spending.  So the eating establishment elected to name a sandwich after him.

The Galvano Tuscano Eggplant Supreme is a fried eggplant, spinach, red onion, tomato, sprouts, roasted garlic hummus, and balsamic vinegar treat rolled into a wrap or piled high on bread of your choice.

It’s one of three vegetarian sandwiches on the lunch menu.

Although it’s not known whether or not the Republican representative is vegetarian,  it is known that he had a predictable record of ordering the sandwich when he dined there.

But is Minnie Mouse cage-free?

Disney has come up with its own brand of eggs. All your favorite cartoons from classic Mickey to Cars characters that will ultimately be indiscernible once crushed against the side of the stove top before frying appear on the eggs that are hormone and anti-biotic free.

Good to know at least Disney is using products from chickens who weren’t on steroids, but it’s not sure whether they’re from cage free animals. Or if the dyes contain any animal derivatives.

Hopefully, they were free-range and went on all the magic carpet rides with Aladdin they desired.

The cute marketing idea that probably comes with an extra price tag Ebeneezer Scrooge wouldn’t be interested in will have children dragging their parents to the dairy section of the grocery store, so let’s hope Minnie’s products are as egg-thical as they possibly can be.

Ladies we know you don’t get enough of your naked men from PETA, but here’s a little something to satisfy.

Carey Hart, ex-husband to singer Pink, has recently teamed up with PETA to raise awareness of using fur in fashion by inviting you to consider wearing your own permanent coat-of tattoos.

“No one’s expecting you to be the perfect citizen…just living consciously [as much as you can].”

Hart got into animal rights through Pink, and the two of them own three dogs.

“It’s just ridiculous, you know?” he says of the fur industry. “It’s like you’re gonna destroy animals so that you can look cool in the nightclubs or you can look cool walking down the street in New York. You know I don’t get behind that. I think it’s very petty and very shallow. And then once I saw the investigation and the actual process it just disgusted me.”

You can view the video of Hart talking more about animals, fur, and looking hot at peta.org.

The Super Bowl is over, right? Why are we still talking about the PETA ad that was rejected by NBC officials because it had too many naked women screwing broccoli? Cause hip hop mogul Russell Simmons won’t stop talking about it.

He’s announced he’s joining forces with GlobalGrind.com, a hip hop media website where he is the Editor-In-Chief, to help support the “Veggie Love” advertisement by giving it ad space on the site. He wants other media groups to support it too, according to Hip Hop Ruckus.

“When we spread the word that corporate America is feeding us poison, the community will listen. We march like an army. That is why I jumped at the chance to air the banned Super Bowl ad that PETA just released. Being a vegan for the past nine years, people tell me all the time that I look ten years younger now than I did before changing my food choices and I’m not contributing to the suffering and slaughter of nine billion animals. Even though it isn’t often discussed, a little known fact is that factory farming is the number one cause of global warming, worse than all forms of transportation or any other contributor. I don’t know how else to say it but the plain fact is, people in our community are dying everyday from making unhealthy eating choices.”

“This is why I am challenging other media outlets to join Global Grind by broadcasting this PETA ad worldwide and dwarf the exposure it would have generated had it aired during the Super Bowl. Global Grind is donating media space that will give the ad at least 50 million impressions and this is just the beginning. This is just one gift that Global Grind is giving to the hip-hop community, the human family and the planet.”

In addition to airing the video, celebrities who blog at Global Grind will post their thoughts on it.

When we found out actor and brother of Kyra Sedgwick, Rob Sedgwick had co-founded a vegan ice cream parlor in New York, we got on the phone pronto begging for his attention. Actually, we didn’t have to beg, as he happily agreed to talk to us about Stogo, which currently offers 20 dairy free flavored varieties.

On his Steak and Egg Eating Habits
That was joke [what was mentioned in the New York Observer]. I eat very well. I eat salads and I never eat fried stuff. But I’ve certainly had a more “conventional diet.”

On being a non vegan running a vegan ice cream shop
It’s valuable to have someone like me [non vegan] because I’ve eaten a lot of ice cream in my life. I think it tastes better than conventional ice cream. You don’t have that same sort of “blah” afterwards because it’s soy based and much lighter.

Everyone wants to have their own business. I think it’s a great idea. It’s a unique idea. In the beginning it took awhile to get the formula down, but now that we’ve got the formula down…You start off with one perception and then you’re expectations change and your goals change as you get further involved with something. Where I’m at now with this stuff, it’s the best stuff out there. It tastes sensational.

And people are genuinely happy. It’s wonderful seeing people that aren’t just, “Oh good it’s a dessert fix.” It’s more of a lifestyle thing.

Do you personally know any vegans or vegetarians?
Sure, we had vegan investors. My business partner is a vegan.

His favorite flavors
I love the chocolate fudge brownie. I love the mixed berry. But that’s like choosing among your kids.

Plans for future acting?
If the acting comes along [I’ll do it]. I’m having more fun writing (he recently completed a book on his memoirs) and doing the ice cream now, frankly. The nice thing about the ice cream thing that I wasn’t anticipating is it’s making people so happy, which is really quite wonderful. I think it’s also getting into that particular lifestyle. It’s not just vegan or health food people, it’s people who are lactose intolerant. We get a lot of people in here who just really dig the product.

Citysearch.com is the place to go to find out where all the restaurants, clubs, and hot business you’ll need in whatever city you’re dwelling in or passing through. It never hurts to have a personal recommendation, though, and Cobra Starship hottie Gabe Saporta has given his top picks.

The vegetarian singer who recently posed with a bunny in an anti-fur ad admits he can only eat a couple of meals at the restaurant he’s an investor of, Employees Only, a New York city establishment fashioned after a Prohibition-era speakeasy, where all you see is a psychic you must walk past before approaching a door labeled “Employees Only,” that leads to the food.

He can, however, eat more than a couple of dishes at Red Bamboo in NY.

“I wouldn’t be doing myself justice if I omitted a vegetarian spot from my list (after all, there are only two dishes I can eat at my own restaurant). Veggie food is usually bland and annoyingly health-conscious. Red Bamboo, however, serves veggie ‘soul-food.’ Seriously. Creole soul chicken, Cajun fried shrimp and barbecue buffalo wings–all meatless! Even non-vegetarians will love this food.”

Gabe loves both LA and NY spots, so visit his City Search list to learn the WWGG-Where Would Gabe Go?.
