Vegetarian Star

Alexandra Burke may be compared to Leona Lewis for her talent and sex appeal, but the X Factor winner insists she and the vegetarian are nothing alike.

“She’s a really sweet girl,” Burke told Attitude. “I was actually happy that it wasn’t just a brief meeting, it was actually sitting down talking. Well you know she’s very laid back. I’m quite the opposite to her.

“I saw her in LA for dinner, she’s a vegan and I actually tried a vegan restaurant she goes to – not with her – but I went to one and it was actually quite nice. I was quite impressed because I like my chicken.”

Glad to hear Alexandra liked her meatless meal.

Is there a chance she will become a little like Leona and frequent the vegan restaurant scene more often?

Someone’s gotta tell her about the dozens of faux chicken she can cook at home.

Alexandra releases a new single, Bad Boys, on October 5.

Her album, Overcome, debuts October 19.

Jordin Sparks, who has said eventually she’d like to become vegetarian, is starring in a series of ads that will tick the vegans off.

Drink Milk For A Change features Jordin sporting a dairy mustache and holding a glass of cow juice.

The campaign was launched in Los Angeles yesterday and encourages people to upload photos of themselves wearing milk mustaches at bodybymilk.com.

For each upload, one dollar will be donated to the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, which puts money into funds to restore music programs at schools.

Not every veg is keen on dairy, even if they’re not vegan.

We suggest some passive protesting-upload your soy or almond milk mustache to help out the schools.

The dairy industry will never know the difference!

Alanis Morissette has been piling up on the nut butters, fresh produce, and whole grain good carb pastas lately as she’s preparing to run the Biz Johnson Trail Marathon to raise money for the National Eating Disorders Association.

Alanis decided to share this information to help others based on her own bad relationships with food.

If you recall, Alanis changed her eating and lifestyle about a year ago when she picked up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s Eat To Live, which outlines a vegan diet as the way to go.

“I don’t believe in diets; I think they’re short-term and a bit of an emotional roller-coaster,” Alanis had told Ok! magazine. “So I opened it and flipped through and thought the weight loss is incidental. The primary focus is disease prevention.”

Biz Johnson Marathon takes place on October 11.

Michelle Branch admits she’s less than a perfect eater.

During a 25 things about myself post, Michelle said:

“I am a vegetarian but when I’m hung over I sneak bacon at breakfast and later deny it happening.”

And a later post on her blog, she revealed missing the home cooked meals of her mother sometimes made her go south.

“It all started on a road trip to Northern California. I had no idea what was in store for me as I innocently drove past In-N-Out burger. I can imagine if you grew up vegetarian, the idea of eating meat is unfathomable. But if you grew up with the marvelous food my mother prepared, divulging in a luxuriously rich Bolognese (with red wine of course) or once in a while a greasy hot dog out of a NYC street cart, after three years you would start to relapse too. One double-double animal style later and my tree-hugging hippy eating ways went out the window. I fell hard and hit every branch on the way down.”

But Michelle is trying to promote better eating, and even invited her fans to view Food Inc.

Here’s Michelle showing the yoga moves that will hopefully give her peace and strength to continue on the right diet path in the Posers: Yogastyles of the Movers and Shakers series.

If you were a fan of alternative female rockers of the 90s, you probably remember Sarah Betten from K’s Choice, known for their haunting and melodic song, I’m Not An Addict.

Betten and her band mates will be in Asheville, North Carolina recording some new tunes and there are a couple of hot spots she likes to frequent, Mellow Mushroom and Earth Fare.

“We’ll definitely have to go to Mellow Mushroom,” Betten told charletteobserver.com. “There’s a great vegetarian place that I know I’ll hit a couple times. Earthfare’s close to the studio.”

If you head to Asheville, after picking up your pizza from Mellow Mushroom, you can swing by Earth Fare to stock up your home or apartment with natural and organic foods.

Some cool facts about Earth Fare, from its website.

1. Earth Fare became the first supermarket to ban high fructose corn syrup in 2004.

2. Earth Fare also removed all products with hydrogenated oil or partially hydrogenated oils from its shelves 13 years ago-before everybody caught onto the trans fat bandwagon.

There’s an eatery called Belles Cafe in Willinston, Vermont that has a sandwich named after Carrie Underwood.

There are two problems with this.

Her name is spelled “Carry” in the sandwich title and it is maheeeatay, as a fan on carriefans.com found out.

“I went to my local deli and bakery called Belles Cafe yesterday with my cousin and we were looking at the menu and she yells “omg I bet you are getting the Carrie Underwood.” i didn’t know what she was talking about so I look up at the menu and they have a sandwich called Carrie Underwood. And then my cousin yells “obviously they didn’t do any research before creating her sandwich.” They spelt her name “Carry” and her sandwich had meat on it. I was mad because I wanted to get it, but being a vegetarian myself I couldn’t. I was still excited though because it was so random.”

We’ve seen this before.

Natalie Portman‘s lobster salad.

Prince Fielder‘s meaty pizza made in honor of his accomplishments.

But hey, we won’t complain too much.

At least those guys got their names spelled right.

No harsh feelings to Cafe Belles, of course.

We’re just hoping they modify the Carrie sandwich.
