Vegetarian Star

Mariah Carey’s been filming the video to her new single, “Obsessed,” from the upcoming album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.

Some have claimed the lyrics to “Obsessed,” are a knock against Eminem, the rapper she briefly dated long ago.

“Why are you so obsessed with me/ Boy I wanna know/ Lying that you’re sexing me/ When everybody knows/ It’s clear that you’re upset with me.”

But hubby Nick Cannon insists Mariah’s got no time for retorts like that and has no desire to “beef.”

“I don’t think that she would take her time. My wife doesn’t beef. She’s Mariah Carey. She’s not beefin’, she’s a vegetarian.”

For those too lazy to check the urban dictionary, beefin’ is a feud between enemies.

Is Nick joking around to come up with an antonym (saving the big words for the afternoon) for beefin’?

Or has Mariah really embraced the vegetarian life? She’s already given up the fur coat thing.

Watch the behind the scenes video of “Obsessed” and you tell us.

Sarah McLachlan was recently interviewed by Canada CTV news while she was scheduled to perform for the Canada Day festivities.

Sarah had a few choice words to say about the seal hunting industry.

“The commercial sealing industry in Canada is perverse and sick. … They club these seals as early as 12 days old, and half the time they hook them and they drag them across the ice. … It’s archaic, and it’s horrible, and I want it to stop.”

Fashion alert: Notice the baby seal on Sarah’s shirt. This woman knows how to make a statement.

When asked what she thought of Canada’s Governor General Michaelle Jean killing a seal and then eating its raw heart, she expressed interest in having a “talk” with her about it.

Follow this link to watch the video of Sarah being interviewed by Canada CTV News on her views about the seal hunt.

Bif Naked was the perfect picture of health.

A raw food vegan who worked out regularly and unlike some in the entertainment industry, shunned drugs and alcohol.

Her clean lifestyle didn’t stop cancer from creeping into her life. But that doesn’t mean she wasn’t doing something right or that she should let her health go to hell because of it.

“You know, I lived a pretty clean lifestyle — no booze and no meat and all that — and I still got breast cancer,” she said in an interview. “After that, I had girlfriends come up to me and say, ‘Wow, I’m having a f—ing drink.’ And I went, ‘Great, knock yourself out.’… I still eat exactly the way I did, and don’t drink. Something like this is not a reason to mistreat your body.”
