Vegetarian Star

Melissa Etheridge dropped by Martha Stewart’s studio not long ago for an episode on the holidays.

Before she appeared, Etheridge spoke to Hudson Valley Inside Out about what she might be doing on Stewart’s show.

Given that you’re a vegetarian, what I’d like to know is if you’ll teach Martha Stewart how to make something like vegan mashed potatoes—because she’ll probably be trying to stuff a goose.

Etheridge: [Laughter] I think we’re going to do something crafty. You know that I am such a crafty girl.

We’re sure Martha knows how to make some mashed potatoes without the gravy, given the fact she needed to cook for her vegetarian daughter, Alexis.

Melissa, who is also a cancer survivor, did do something crafty-a bird’s nest planter.

Watch the video of Etheridge on Martha and maybe you too can become a vegetarian domestic diva.

Although her parents were cattle ranchers, American Idol alum and country music singer Carrie Underwood became vegetarian during her teens when she was still living with them.

While mom and dad were supportive of her diet, not everyone she encounters while touring in some areas are as welcoming.

She says she has to be careful while performing in places where cattle ranching is big, because there’s a chance if she announces she’s vegetarian, she’ll get booed.

“I’m a vegetarian and there are some parts of the United States where you do not announce that to the audience,” she explains. “And while the crowd might be kind of playing with me, sometimes if I do let that slip, I do get booed. So it’s something I’m working on-keeping me vegetarianism to myself.”

Watch the video to hear Carrie explain keeping her secret to herself and find out what musician she admires.

Jess Origliasso, member of the pop duo The Veronicas was doing green and good when she was discovered by PETA agents and asked to do a naked anti-fur ad.

Origliasso was riding the New York subway wearing a faux fur jacket that read, “F*** Fur” painted on the back.

Anyone with a message this blatant is clearly PETA ad talent, so they approached with the idea which she is strongly considering.

“Lisa and I support any foundation that is willing to educate and make a stand for animal liberation,” she told Confidential.

“Death for these animals is a horror story – the most common method used for killing foxes is electrocution. I can’t speak for Lisa, but I admire the approach to the eye-catching photo shoots PETA do to get the important message out there.

“I would definitely love to be involved in something like that.”

If she chooses to accept the offer, she’ll be following the footsteps of fellow celebrity Aussie ladies who have worked with the organization like Natalie Imbruglia, Sophie Monk, and Missy Higgins.

Not long ago, it was discovered that a Liverpool McDonald’s restaurant had pictures of Paul McCartney and other ex Beatles on its wall. The news caused quite a stir with McCartney being a vegetarian who obviously wouldn’t support the fare served at McDonald’s.

Chrissie Hynde’s vegan Italian eatery, The Vegiterranean, has got it right though: Veg people in a veg restaurant.

If you’re lucky enough to dine there or even stop by and visit, you’ll find pictures of celebrities like Joss Stone, Morrisssey, Joaquin Phoenix, Paul McCartney, and even Chrissie herself on the wall of vegetarian fame.

A recent study has estimated that 1 in 200 children are vegetarians. The kid who brings the tofu sandwich that no one wants to trade with is getting company and there’s a good chance he’ll have someone to swap for seitan at school.

There are many children of celebrities who have made news because of their diet, or perhaps more so because of their parents strongly insisting on their vegetarian diet.

Heather Mills made headlines last year when she reportedly gave an eight page letter of requirements for her daughter Bea’s food regime while vacationing with ex Paul McCartney.

Mills’ strong spirit to instill the veg lifestyle in her own child has been extended to her helping other children, donating time and money to impoverished kids and their families, helping them access and learn to cook meatless dishes.

Madonna put it in writing as well, but legally, when she required ex husband Guy to only serve the children organic, macrobiotic vegan food.

With news such as the U.S. Government’s estimate and high profile celebrities making their children’s diet public, more parents may consider sending more carrots and yogurt to school with their child, versus a Lunchable and fruit roll ups.

We already know she’s a Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Fake Fur Girl, but “Don’t You Know” Kellie Pickler’s a Skinny Bitch as well.

The country music star and former American Idol contestant told That’s Fit she packed on almost 30 pounds in less than a year after going on tour with American Idol.

“We were always eating fast food on the road and having late night munchies,” she said. “I gained 28 pounds in less than a year!”

Kellie said she had to learn to “eat right,” and she did so by reading vegan authors Kim Barnouin and Rory Freedman’s Skinny Bitch, a book about the vegan diet and lifestyle.

“I appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show and we chatted about it. She told me about the book Skinny Bitch which was both really enjoyable to read and easy to understand.”

Kellie realizes the importance of following the skinny bitch diet as well: health. Although she lost her unhealthy excess fat, she realizes no diet will create a one size fits all body. She still has and loves her curves.

“I love my curves. No matter how thin I get, I always have my curves.”

PB & J. Ebony and Ivory. Tegan and Sara.

Some things go great together. So it’s no surprise that the duo sisterly pop group, who has worked with PETA in the past, has created matching pairs of sneakers, one black and one white, that are animal friendly.

Another series in the MacBeth studio project, Tegan and Sara have launched shoes in the Nolan category, Tegan’s black and Sara’s white.

Macbeth

Both sneakers are being touted as high top fashion with a grrrly edge and are scheduled to go on sale February 15th. They look pretty comfy and flexible and hopefully the high top feature will keep the snow out of your socks for the last few weeks of winter.

The two are no strangers to foot fashion, as they designed a pair of sneakers for the shoe company D.C. a few years ago.

Vegan singer and musician Missy Higgins wants to treat her environmentally aware fans by rewarding them with a special unreleased version of her song, “Where I stood” from the album On a Clear Night.

If you pledge to reduce your carbon footprint by 2% in 2009, you can download the unreleased song for free.

Not to leave folks in a boat without a paddle, Missy has included 10 Ways To Decrease Your Carbon Output on her Warner Brothers Website, like buying local and organic, replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, and walking more just to name a few.

Kinda disappointing that Missy left off one of the biggest ways to have smaller carbon feet-by going vegetarian!

The idea of the pledge is taken from the Sierra Club’s 2% Solution, which theorizes that if we reduce our carbon emissions by 2% every year, by 2050, we can curb global warming and its consequences.
