Vegetarian Star

Travis McCoy gave a Twitter update, where he gave props to one of his favorite vegetarian restaurants. It would have been nice if he had Tweeted what he ate.

“At my favorite veggie restaurant in NYC, CURLY’s gettin it IN.”

After looking at the menu, our vote is for quesadilla…or…who knows?

Curly’s has all the diner style food a laid back ordinary guy could ask for-but in vegetarian and vegan versions.

An extensive breakfast collection that includes pancakes and granola, an entire menu section devoted to “burger” and fries, as well as veg sandwiches like sloppy joes, “Suna Melt” (fake tuna) and “TLT” (tofu bacon, lettuce, and tomato).

If we were there right now, we’d be gettin’ it too!

Follow Travis to see what else he gets @Travismtv.

Earlier we brought you the news that Teany, the cafe and restaurant Moby co-founded with ex girlfriend Kelly Tisdale, was badly damaged by a fire.

At the time, Moby wasn’t sure what Kelly’s plans were for re-building, but now it looks as though Teany may be up and running in a couple of months.

On his online journal, Moby gave this update:

“teany burned up the other day, but apparently kelly is working hard to repair it and get it re-opened. so there’s a good chance that teany will re-open at some point in the next month or two. i will put news here on moby.com as i find out about it.”

Alec Baldwin was the honorary auction host at the EcoFabulous in the East End dinner and silent auction which benefited Group for the East End, an environmental group that works to protect and restore the environment in Eastern Long Island.

Alec filled up that evening with a vegan salad appetizer, which was prepared by local chefs, with local food to keep the theme green.

While auctioning off a stay at Casa de Campo, a Dominican Republic resort with three golf courses, Alec made a joke that the best way to preserve green space is to turn them into golf courses.

Ha, haaaa, Alec!

We’re sure Baldwin’s combined humor and the cause the East End Group works towards made the evening a blast.

Today is Prince William’s birthday.

You may or may not care, depending on your fan meter, but you should know that his grandma wants to make the Royal Palace a little more green.

After meeting with First Lady Michelle Obama, where some scandalous touching took place, The Queen and Mrs. O hit it off. Queen Elizabeth has decided to follow her friend’s latest trend and plant organic vegetables in a 40 acre lot in the back of the Palace.

The garden will have runner beans, leeks, beetroot, and an endangered variety of climbing French beans called Blue Queen.

This will be the first time since World War II that plants have been grown at the Palace.

Mrs. Obama recently broke ground for the White House garden and last week invited local children to harvest and eat lettuce and snap peas.

Update: Alas, Teany will rise again! See link.

Teany Cafe, a tea and vegan food shop in New York founded by Moby and his then girlfriend Kelly Tisdale, experienced a fire this weekend.

Although no one was hurt, the store was destroyed, and it’s not sure whether or not Kelly will rebuild and reopen.

On his Myspace, Moby blogged:

“I believe that teany the cafe might, alas, be no more.”

“Yesterday there was a fire (no one was hurt, as far as I know), and teany was destroyed.”

“I need to ask kelly if she’s going to re-build it, and as soon as she says ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ I’ll let you know.”

“I’m really glad no one was hurt, and if anyone has pictures of teany post-fire I’d love to see them (as I’m in germany as I write this, and can’t go round to see the damage).”

Teany started off as both a tea and food shop when Kelly and Moby opened it.  Later, Teany became more of a hub for tea when Kelly took over most of the business decisions, although it still had a variety of vegan entrees on the menu.

Moby once remarked that Teany was so great because meat eaters were just as happy with the faux selections as vegetarians.

English recording artist and songwriter VV Brown recently became vegetarian after seeing a cow killed and stripped of its guts while in Africa.

But she’s thinking of taking it a step further and leaning towards veganism, because, well, who wants to deal with a chick during that “time of the month?”

“I’m thinking of giving up eggs because if you think about it, they are just chicken’s periods,” she told the UK Guardian.

Come again?

Oh, sure, VV must be talking about the fact that eggs are unfertilized products of a chicken’s reproductive cycle, which some have likened to the same process that occurs when an egg is unfertilized in human females.

Yeah, if you think about it…VV has the right idea.

She’s got a new album coming out, Traveling Like The Light. Check out her Myspace for some music samples.

After a bout with mercury poisoning last year, actor Jeremy Piven says he’s hasn’t eaten fish in 10 months.

“I’m a lot better,” Piven told PEOPLE. “What basically happens is when you work your whole life without stopping like I’ve done, you end up in the hospital. Basically, I had a cardiologist say your body is trying to catch up and it can’t. I had a resting heart rate of 47, something called arrhythmia, along with all the mercury poisoning.”

Piven claimed that years of being a “fish eating vegetarian,” caused him to get sick.

If Piven claimed to be a fish eating vegetarian before, but has dropped Flipper from the plate, has he picked up other animals instead? It would be great if Piven learned a lesson and is now following a totally vegetarian diet.

He alleged his illness caused him to drop out of a play production, Speed the Plow.

Piven gave a public service announcement about fish and wanted everyone not to blame them.

“By the way, for the record, it’s the not the fish’s fault. It’s a man-made problem. It’s all the mercury being dumped. Women shouldn’t eat tuna, especially when you’re pregnant.”

Goodness, he’s almost sounding like an environmentalist now.

Let's Get Baked on Myspace

Mat Dunlap and Dave Ewenson have a cooking show called Let’s Get Baked, where they make vegetarian and vegan dishes with the help of musicians.

The show’s title, along with the fact they’re cooking stereotypically hippie food, might lead some to believe they’re putting more than raw coconut in the pies. But that’s not the case, according to Dunlap. It’s a rated G, straight-edge kind of show.

“It comes up often. We generally we keep the show squeaky clean,” Dunlap said.

“We play on the fact we’re two hoser guys in the kitchen…and who knows what the bands did before they show up to our house. If they have the munchies, we’ll feed them. The only thing we smoke is tofu and the only thing we roll are big fat burritos.”
