Vegetarian Star

We love veggie couples.

That’s why we’re overjoyed to hear that vegan Zooey Deschanel and vegetarian Ben Gibbard are expected to tie the knot this month.

From Page Six:

“A spy at the Bar Method ballet studio in Los Angeles says, “Zooey is in Belfast with James Franco and Natalie Portman” — filming Your Highness — “but will return at the end of September for her ceremony in Seattle.””

With Zooey and her sister Emily being vegan, and both Ben and his Death Cab For Cutie band mate Chris Walla being vegetarian, you know the reception will be filled with abundant veg food and may even be completely vegan.

Vegetarian and vegan weddings may be harder to plan if you have meat eating guests, but that’s no reason to back down. It’s your day, after all!

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.

Audrey Kitching revealed what foods she is crazy about in a recent interview.

“I am obsessed with Mexican food. I could eat it every single meal..oh and sushi! I am a Vegan right now. No dairy no meat no fish. It is hard but I feel great so it is well worth it.”

From her comment, it almost sounds as if Audrey had to give up one of her favorite foods to become vegan.

But anyone who rolls the Nori knows, there’s no raw fish (or cooked for that matter) required to get your sushi high.

Seasoned tempeh, tofu, or plain vegetables make the experience just as good and don’t deplete the oceans of marine wildlife.

The vegan punks in the kitchen have kindly offered their advice on making vegan sushi, along with a few recipes of vegan goodies to replace fish.

Let’s roll with it.

“I feel like I’m 20 years old. I was just getting sore joints and since going raw, I have no signs of anything. My blood pressure and cholesterol are normalized. I jump out of bed in the morning feeling amazing and don’t get tired like I used to around three or four in the afternoon.”

—-Mimi Kirk, who won PETA’s Sexiest Female Vegetarian over 50 title in an interview with VegNews.com.

We had the opportunity to do an exclusive interview with the male winner, Julian Winter.

Be on the lookout for it next week!

Jason Mraz is known in the veg community for being a vegan, right?

So a recent interview with austin360.com, has left us scratching our heads, crinkling our eyebrows, and saying, “Huh?”

Read for yourself.

“Well, I’d call myself a vegan fishitarian who’s mostly a raw foodist. It’s a totally personal thing. In my case, it’s from touring so much. Everything in my life changed after I tried eating raw food for 30 days the first time – my mind, my physical appearance, my energy. I realized that food really is my fuel. Once I started to commit to whole foods and natural foods, I was like, “This is great!””

We wish these fish eating vegetarians would just call themselves pescatarians.

And how long has the Mr. Mraz been doing this while we’ve been dropping the name “vegan,” without offering any, “but he eats” behind it?

Or does “fishitarian” mean Jason goes fishing then throws the flippers back into the water?

Confused. Bewildered. Guess we’ll have to make some chocomole dessert and think about it for awhile.

The vegan, yoga fanatic Russell Simmons sat down with chron.com and gave some thought on health care and improving humanity.

A few excerpts:

As a health-conscious, yoga-practicing vegan, what kind of health-care reform would you like to see?
“Ask people in the aisle, if you speak to Congress. Ask them how many people don’t take money from the health-care industry. Ask them that, and then everybody can be in silence. And then you ask them, “Do you feel comfortable, we’re the only country in the civilized world that doesn’t take care of their sick?””

How would you describe your personal mission?
“To relieve suffering of people, animals and the planet. That’s a life’s goal, to get people out of struggle and to promote consciousness.”

“On a smaller level, giving them the opportunity to go out and achieve and giving them the courage and the confidence … to go out and achieve and change the world — be the change themselves.”

Russell never fails to drop a line about how anybody, anywhere in the world can change themselves by adopting a veg diet.

Sounds like he’s already taken a big step in relieving suffering for both humans and animals.

Gwyneth Paltrow is cooking with tofu in the latest installment of Goop.com.

What exactly is Bibimbop?

The B-side version of Hanson‘s MMMbop?

Actually, it’s a Korean dish with Miso sauce, vegetables, rice, and tofu among other ingredients.

Laugh at Gwyneth as she tries to pronounce Bibimbop and grab the recipe after the jump (more…)

“I actually really like those vegetarian Boca Burgers. Lately I’ve been finding myself sprawled out on my front lawn with my shirt off listening to the pleasant, friendly hiss and crackle of a couple vegetarian patties sizzling away on the gas grill. Pure bliss.”

—-Owl City, a band that consists of one member, Adam Young, on his favorite vegetarian food.

A one man show means more Boca Burgers for yourself after the performance.

Nothing wrong with that at all.
