Heather Mills Launches V-Bites Restaurant

The much anticipated opening of the V Bites restaurant Heather Mills has been talking about finally opened its doors in Hove Lagoon in the UK for chowing down on vegan goodness this weekend.

According to a press release Heather’s restaurant will serve such entrees as “Bangers and Mash to Chicken Style Nut Korma, mini pitta pockets with Beefy Wok Strips to amazing salads and yummy fruit smoothies, a Traditional English breakfast, Pad Thai served with rice noodles, Sag Paneer with vegan feta cheese, full Sunday roast with all the trimmings and a wide range of delicious sandwiches including a ‘ham’, cheese and tomato toastie and a classic BLT.”

A DJ and band were there to provide music for the lunch at the all day opening party. Heather took a moment to climb on the roof of V Bites and stand next to a big neon-like sign that resembles one at a Las Vegas joint.

Although gambling or stripping isn’t on the agenda for V Bites, a room that involves interactive computers to teach children about the importance of vegetable and an ice rink currently is.

MICHAEL JACKSON DEATH

AEG promoter Randy Phillips has revealed some of the last meals Michael Jackson ate while rehearsing for what would have been 50 sold out concert performances.

Apparently the vegetarian Jackson was so focused, he would forget to eat and Phillips and other members of the crew had to force him to.

“He used to forget to eat because he was so focused and Kenny Ortega and I used to cut up his food and physically feed him,” the UK Mirror quoted Phillips as saying.

Phillips said some of Jackson’s favorite dishes were vegetarian lasagna, steamed broccoli, nut loaf or tofu with chili sauce.

No, it’s not April Fool’s Day and unlike other posts which joked about fake celebrity products, this is the real deal.

NBA legend John Salley has his own organic, vegan, natural food line, John Salley Foods, that he’s promoting.

“Primo Olive Oil” and “Habanero Pepper Sauce” are just two of the products with John’s handsome face on them, along with “Double Baked Herbed Crisps” and “Peach Chitpotle Sauce.”

Speaking of faces, doesn’t John putting his mug on these remind you of all those Paul Newman products that dominate the shelves? Sure would be nice if John set up foundations and charities to help the world like Newman did.

From John Salley Foods website:

“We are a gourmet snack food company on a mission to create products and recipes on a level you can’t ordinarily find at your grocery store. All of our foods are 100% organic, vegan and kosher. No animals were used or harmed in any way in the production of our foods.”

Notably missing are the ants, cow tongue and worms some of his competitors on I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here ate.

“4-time NBA champion and renowned television and film personality John Salley has been a vegan and aspiring chef for many years and has finally decided to bring his own unique take on organic cuisine to the public. John’s flavorful sauces and incredible snack foods prove that delicious treats can be vegan, organic and healthy, surpassing what you’ve known until now.”

Salley’s products aren’t available to order yet, but the site encourages those interested to check back or you can email them for more info on when they’ll be available.

Hot, hot, hot!

She’ll never have to call Tyrone for anything because The Vegan Scoop is all she’ll ever need.

Earlier this year, Erykah Badu got some samples of Wheeler’s Frozen Desserts.

She thoroughly enjoyed them and recently had the pleasure of receiving a copy of The Vegan Scoop, a recipe book filled with tricks and trades to make your own vegan ice cream at home.

“I can’t wait to make it at home,” she said, according to a recent post on Wheeler’s blog, titled, “Erykah Badu plans to “do it” at home with The Vegan Scoop.”

“I heard she was looking for a great vegan ice cream so I shipped her over 15 samples earlier this year,” said chef Wheeler del Torro, author of The Vegan Scoop.

Wheeler’s vegan Frozen desserts are crafted from soy and nut milk blends and certified organic ingredients.

20th Century Fox Screening Of Fast Food Nation

Richard Linklater is an Academy award nominated film director and screen writer who’s credits include Fast Food Nation and School of Rock.

If you know Fast Food Nation, you know the story of the poor marketing director who, after discovering some good ol’ fecal matter in his company’s meat product, learns what other horrors come packaged in a “Value Meal.”

Linklater’s no fan of fast food, as he prefers “healthy mexican,” specifically, a restaurant in Austin, Texas called Mr. Natural.

“It’s this veggie Mexican food place, a healthy Mexican place, just about a mile on the East side on Cesar Chavez Avenue. It’s called Mr. Natural. It’s a healthy Mexican little buffet. It’s wonderful. It’s been there forever. It’s too good to be true. It’s a quick little buffet, you’re eating within like four minutes of when you walk in the door.”

Heading to Austin anytime soon? Mr. Natural’s menu offers vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and wheat free dishes like Potato Flautas, Picadillo de Soya, Cabbage Rolls, Tofu a la Mexicana, and Tamales.
