Vegetarian Star

Joan Jett‘s real last name is Larkin and there are a lot of Duffys in her family, according to a recent article in the Irish Times.

Yep, you can go ahead and kiss her!

It’s a good assumption that Joan doesn’t partake in the traditional Irish meals of stew made from lamb or mutton, bacon and cabbage, and coddle (pork sausages and rashers).

If you’re kissable like Joan, or at least thinking of visiting the country, Irish Vegetarian, is a must stop for ideas for restaurants, health food stores and lodging. It also includes recipes.

Don’t forget you can veggie most Irish meals at home with faux meats, like the “Beef” and Guinness Stew made with seitan. There are also several already vegetarian Irish dishes that often contain cabbage and potatoes as a main ingredient.

Zooey Deschanel had a lovely quinoa dish cooked up for her on Top Chef Masters, but the singer and kid sis of Emily Deschanel says she wasn’t a vegan when she ate it, and her multiple food allergies keep her from being one.

From Time Out Chicago:

“Oh, man, that was awesome! Though, a long time before they aired the show, I gave up veganism. I can’t do it. And I’ll tell you why. I have multiple food allergies. That’s kind of why I became a vegan, because I was like, Oh, I’m halfway there. I can’t have eggs or dairy. I can’t have wheat, either. Or soy. It was impossible being vegan.”

No wheat or soy? Can’t imagine a life without tofu or seitan!

A list of alternatives to wheat reveal a popular vegetarian staple, buckwheat noodles, otherwise known as soba noodles, are gluten-free. Then there’s almond milk instead of soy. Unless you have a nut allergy.

Oh, boy, is there hope for wannabe vegans like Zooey?

Daily Muesli anyone?

Erykah Badu "Vibe"

Erykah Badu is burning up the stands, appearing on yet another magazine cover this month.

First, there was the JET issue, and now Vibe features Badu on the June/July 2010 edition.

Inside Badu discusses how both her diet and her family decisions have permanently changed her life.

“I was 27 when I had Seven. I was already a vegetarian. I had been for 10 years. I had started making choices that would shape me for the rest of my life. I never thought to measure by each child. My children are six years apart. It wasn’t planned, just how the relationships rolled out. I’ve had three unorthodox marriages of sorts. I’ve had the benefit of having substantial amount of time with people, mind-building time.”

My Dog: An Unconditional Love Story

My Dog: An Unconditional Love Story is a DVD documentary exploring the relationship between people and their pets.

My Dog features several celebrities and their pet stories, including Glenn Close, Edie Falco and vegetarian singer-songwriter Nellie McKay.

McKay’s story was somewhat bittersweet, as one of her dogs, Charo, died a few months after filming was complete.

Twenty percent of the profits from DVD sales go towards an animal charity of the celebrity’s choice, and McKay chose Animals Without Borders, an organization that rescues animals in other countries and brings them to the United States for adoption.
