Vegetarian Star

An interesting and powerful clip found courtesy the folks at denbeath.blogspot.com.

Country music star Kellie Pickler is a vegetarian and was even crowned Sexiest in this year’s contest held by PETA.

However, according to this clip, Kellie has performed at the Cheyenne rodeo for two years in a row, where animals are abused by being dragged and lassoed, among other activities.

Kellie cited her reasons becoming vegetarian as partly due to animal rights.

“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.

Is Kellie’s willingness to perform at such events a complete violation of her vegetarian principles?

Watch the clip and tell us what you think.

“I was hounded and followed by Americans worldwide, who said ‘You’ve got to make him stop.’ I hadn’t even heard the show. Actually so many people told me to take it off, I thought ‘(expletive) it.’ I don’t have to do what you people want me to do. That show doesn’t matter to me. I think people are too easily baited. Those talk guys are just part of the gossip culture. Everyone’s got opinions on other people. It’s such a boring, unoriginal topic. No offense, but that’s not an original question. Ask me something else.”

—-hilarious Chrissie Hynde in an interview where she was asked about conservative talks show host Rush Limbaugh using her song, “My City Was Gone,” for his radio show.

Eventually Chrissie allowed Rush to use part of the song, but donate royalties to PETA.

And Rush isn’t such a bad guy after all, as he recorded a PSA for the Humane Society-without Chrissie’s prompt.

The left and the right can get along.

At least when it comes to being an advocate for animals.

Madonna stopped by Tel Aviv recently to perform the last in the concert series for her Sticky and Sweet tour.

After Madge’s plane landed, her crew took no time at all hunting down food for the Material Girl and her dance troupe.

And when we say “hunt,” we almost mean that literally.

From wnd.com:

“A source at the hotel kitchen where Madonna’s food is being prepared told WND the menu for the singer and her crew today included about 110 pounds of meat, including rib-eye and T-bone steaks, as well as beef filet. Also, fish and poultry were on hand for dinner.”

One hundred ten pounds of meat? Plus, fish and poultry on the side?

We don’t even want to begin to count how many animals that makes.

Surely, Madge and her crew could get their stage energy from whole grain pasta, nuts, legumes, and other plant based proteins.

A very sticky and bittersweet ending to her tour.

We heard that Australian pop dual The Veronicas, which consist of Jess Origliasso and her sister Lisa Origliasso were partying it up with Joel Madden at the TAO Las Vegas.

The Origliasso sisters were said to have dined on vegetarian fare before heading to the nightclub area.

If you recall us telling you, Jess, was incredibly interested in doing anti-fur campaigns and was spotted on the subway wearing a faux leather jacket that read, “F*** Fur” on the back.

It wasn’t noted what vegetarian status in limbo Joel Madden was munching on, but we sure  hope it wasn’t leftover Hamburger Helper.

Singer Mya went vegetarian to get in shape for her Dancing With the Stars role and lost 11 pounds, according to US Weekly.

“You have to get your rest, eat properly, rest, focus…it’s challenging,” Mya said, who cited becoming vegetarian as a way to “lighten up” to better shake her hips during the salsa.

“My weight may change after I stuff my face!” she jokes. “My weakness is the pasta and the rice!”

Wouldn’t it be great if the Grammy award winning R & B singer kept to her veg diet even after Dancing with the Stars is over?

She could join the Dancing veg alum club with Cloris Leachman.

Stuffing your face with pasta and rice are completely within our bylaws, Mya!

Bif Naked has a new album out, The Promise, that was created during her fight with cancer and energy zapping chemotherapy.

So most people would think that a song from the album titled “Sick,” would detail Bif’s tumultuous battle with the disease.

Not entirely.

Bif, a raw vegan, is also an animal activist and used to song as a vehicle to express her disgust with some animal industries.

“Sick” is just another word to describe many of the injustices the weaker have to endure.

“‘Sick’ also addresses how I feel about the seal hunt and the puppy mills on Vancouver Island,” said Bif, according to straight.com.

“Obviously, docetaxel and carboplatin made me sick, but the premise of the song, for sure, is there’s just so many travesties and injustices that we have to outrun all the time.”

Bif got so sick during her treatment, she had to temporarily eat something not vegan-yam rolls-because they were the only things she could keep down.

Blah! Sounds horrible.

Happy return to vegan foods, Bif!

Hilarious!

Chrissie Hynde is normally quite calm, but still opinionated when sharing her views on vegetarianism and animals.

We think all the excitement from one of her recent performance made her a little less inhibited.

In Toronto, Chrissie grabbed the mic and yelled:

“Meat eaters, go [expletive]yourselves.”

Fiona Morrow at theglobeandmail.com wanted to keep her column clean.

You can fill in the blank as to what you think Chrissie said.

Poor Chrissie had to say something after she smelled something coming from the barbecue stand.

Wonder why she didn’t just ban meat like she’s done before?
