Vegetarian Star

Celebrities are great for promoting your product.

Eh, as long as they don’t do anything too outrageous, or are caught by TMZ doing the outrageous act.

Celebrities are even better for giving food products the boost, and vegan food is no different.

A recent article at CNN touches on celebrity foodies and opens up with none other than vegan ice cream company Wheeler’s Frozen Ice Cream.

Owner of Wheeler’s, Chef Wheeler del Torro, discusses how shipping his goodies to Erykah Badu got him some exposure.

“Teaming up with someone like [Erykah] is something that is definitely good for outreach to vegans and non-vegans, because she has such mass appeal,” he said.

One of Wheeler’s custom ice creams, a $7,000 champagne flavor made with vintage Dom Perignon and sprinkled gold flakes has become popular among some rappers as well.

Vintage Dom Perignon and gold flakes?

That’s some serious vegan bling.

Wheeler is also the author of a vegan ice cream cookbook, The Vegan Scoop.

Lady Gaga was spotted leaving her hotel room for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in what looks to be fur.

Has to be fake, right?

Back when Gaga was sporting her Kermit the Frog coat, she said, “I really loved this one in particular because I thought it was commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur. We were all laughing in the house about how it looks like a pile of dead Kermits.”

Take a look and judge for yourself.

Has Gaga went back on her word?

“I definitely have moments when I come home and shut the door and think that all I want to do is sing. But then I think, wait a minute — how are people going to hear my music? The bottom line is that if I can inspire, create awareness and help someone or an animal in any way, then it’s all been worth it”

—-Leona Lewis, in an interview with The Big Issue magazine.

Leona’s definitely doing her job, as she never fails to bring up her vegetarian diet and lifestyle in interviews and public appearances.

Leona’s sophomore album, Echo, is set to debut November 17.

Janet Jackson has come public with the first interview since her brother Michael Jackson died in June.

In the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Janet discusses how her and Michael would find the time to have vegetarian lunches together, during the filming of the 1995 music video Scream.

“We would organize our days together and go out for vegetarian lunch at the Golden Temple in L.A.,” Janet said. “We were so busy, but we’d make time.”

Several stories have touched on Michael Jackson’s vegetarian diet, along with the occasional fried chicken (argh!) that he would have when he cheated.

Singer Eve is in need of a little schooling when it comes to eating vegetarian.

She was recently at the Blush Boutique Nightclub at the Wynn in Las Vegas when she asked for something vegetarian.

Like chicken fingers.

A source told the New York Post:

“She was in the VIP area and got hungry, so she asked if room service could be ordered to the club. They agreed to help her out, but when they took her order, she said she wanted ’something vegetarian, like grilled cheese or chicken fingers.’ The staff was pretty confused about it.”

The staff’s not the only one.

Perhaps Eve’s just trying to eat better and is cutting back on red meat.

Quite the chickentarian.

And they say vegetarians are hard to figure out because we ask so many strange questions about the menu. Ha!
