Carrie: No Kellie, you don’t want to eat it if it’s cooked in chicken broth. LOL!

Carrie Underwood may have found a man that’s just as good as animals this time.  She was spotted having dinner with Travis Stork, a former TV “Bachelor.”

Insiders gave lots of juicy details such as the dinner couple holding hands and showing affect and taking a break from lovin’ to sing Happy Birthday to a nearby party.

We have a strange suspicion that insiders failed to notice that Carrie got interrupted 10 times that night by newly vegetarian Kellie Pickler texting questions about rennet, soymilk, and natural flavorings.

Underwood had said before in an interview that if she had to choose between animals and men, she’d choose animals because she hasn’t found a good man yet, but lots of good animals.

Poor Stork. Doesn’t know the cats, dogs, and farm animals he may be up against.

Carrie ate a very veggie ravioli and beet salad, then finished off with an omelet. No news on what Stork ate.

Kellie: Thanx babe. Luv u so much:)

Kiss that meat goodbye, girlfriend!

We always like it when someone crosses over to our side. Country music star and American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler is the latest celebrity to become vegetarian. Even better, she’s talking about it.

In People Magazine, she credits both Pamela Anderson and Carrie Underwood for helping her convert. We call it the power of blonds.

Pickler first switched to being a veg for health reasons. Then she saw a video by Pamela Anderson on animal rights, which, much like the experience of Anthony Kiedis, convinced her there was no turning back.

“A lot of it has to do with knowing what happens to the animals and it really bothered me and so I will not eat meat,” she said.

So Pamela Anderson is the first blond. Then comes fellow Idol alumnus Carrie Underwood. When she made the decision, she began texting back and forth, asking Carrie all sorts of newbie questions, such as “Is fish considered a meat?” Underwood, being the ever supportive teacher didn’t know if Pickler could pull it off at first and was amazed that she stuck through it.

Being a small fish in a large pond, Pickler is careful not to get too preachy. There aren’t many vegetarians in country music, with Shania Twain being one of the few.

“Most country girls do like their meat!” she said.

Now one less country girl eats her meat.

The lovely Hollaback girl Gwen Stefani and her hubby Gavin Rossdale went to a Halloween party with their children and decided to play big kids and dress themselves up as bacon and egg.

That’s right. Bacon, for Gavin, the VEGETARIAN. We can only hope he was imitating Lightlife’s Smart Bacon or some other veggie substitute. Of course, Gwen’s costume could have been something worse, like fur. But it would have made things stressful for the couple when it came time to split the candy. The pork costume wearing ex Bush frontman is vocal about the fur industry and was once quoted as saying:

“The person I love would never wear fur. Fur just makes me think of shallow women who have no conscience. The fur industry belongs to a time when people were selfish beyond belief. If you were some ancient tribal cheiftain, and there was not a department store nearby 350 years ago, I’d understand. But now, we have synthetic fibers,and it’s not necessary. The elitism of fur makes me wanna puke.”

The elitism of bacon costumes makes us wanna puke. Hopefully next scary season Gavin will dress up as a humble tempeh block.

Thanks Ecorazzi

Chrissie Hynde answered some questions for the readers of Blender.com. One reader mentioned that Hynde was once arrested during a PETA protest and wondered if you could get a good vegan meal in jail. (We wonder why this person asked the question…Planning ahead for something?) Chrissie said she didn’t know because she hadn’t stayed long enough to eat much. But in her short experience, she doesn’t think so.

We guess it all just depends on which prison you end up in. PETA published a list of the best vegetarian prisons, but Chrissie only served a short time in jail, so she never got to hear the words, “bon Appetit,” behind big time bars.

All this sparks an interesting question. There’s been discussion as to whether or not prisoners should be allowed to demand a vegetarian or vegan meal when the prison isn’t one of Peta’s top 10. In other words, should prisons (and taxpayers) go out of their way to ensure those in prison (who obviously have had other rights, such as voting, taken away) get meatless food even if it’s purely for preference and not for special dietary (allergy) reasons.

Arguably, switching prisoners to an all veg diet might even cut down on lifelong complications, such as diabetes, for those who are serving long term sentences (and those who the state is paying the most money for).

Of course most of us vegetarians will say yes. But what about you other guys? Flexitarians, any opinions?

Australian vegan cutie Missy Higgins won the hearts of many in her home country; now she’s trekking across the U.S. winning American love as well. But just because she’s been living in the raw food hub of L.A. and becoming more Californian every day, she’ll waste no time reminding you she still remembers how they do it down under.

When asked by Blog Critics if she preferred a Vegemite sandwich or shrimp on a barbie, she responded, “Vegemite sandwich because I’m vegan and because we don’t call them shrimps, anyway, we call them prawns!”

Go Missy! Tell it like it really is! Also, thanks for telling them what’s the better option over both prawns and shrimp Barbie dolls or whatever.

Fun fact: Missy was the first girl to join the football team at her primary school. How cool is that?

Go here to read more, including how Missy thinks “koalas seem to have it pretty good…getting stoned on Eucalyptus leaves…”

Pink is officially pissed at the Prince.

When singer Pink asks a question, she expects to get a response. And if five years later, you haven’t replied, don’t think she’ll forget about it.

Feel sorry for the next date that doesn’t return her phone call.

Prince William once asked Alecia Moore, or Pink as we know her, if she would perform at his 21st birthday bash. She turned him down and questioned his stance on hunting. Five years to date, he hasn’t spoke up and she wants to know why.

“It’s a bit rude, isn’t it?” she said on TeenMusic.com.

Being the animal rights activist she is, Pink had other issues with some stuff going on where Big Ben’s home sits. Like the fact that bearskins on the palace guards’ hats weren’t made from synthetic material. This question she posed for the Prince’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

You guessed it, it was like grandmother like grandson.

The fact the she challenged the royal family of all people really doesn’t make her blink twice.

“I want to make people think about their responsibilities. I don’t care if they have a crown.”
