McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Green Carpet

“If I point my finger at someone, saying, “You should be a vegetarian,” they’re just going to get annoyed…There is definitely a risk [of] alienating people. Maybe one day a week, consider what you are doing. We’re saying, do this for your personal health and in the process you help animals and you help the environment.”

—-musician Moby, at the Meat Free Monday campaign launch. Celebrity attendees included Paul McCartney and his daughters Stella and Mary, Yoko Ono, and Kelly Osbourne.

Meatless Mouthful: Christie Brinkley And Artichokes Go Way Back

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful, Models.

Christie Brinkley Chairs the NOFA-NY Organic Food from Farm to Family Lunch

“For most of my life I’ve had a thing for the artichoke, because it was such an exciting vegetable. You could do so much with it. I first saw it on television, on “The Little Rascals.” I had my own artichoke plate, with a place for the heart to sit. To this day I still go crazy for them. But I also eat broccoli every day, it’s like taking a vitamin. And I like leafy green vegetables. But artichokes and I go way back.”

—-Model Christie Brinkley, at a fund-raising luncheon for the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York. Brinkley became vegetarian at 13 and convinced the whole family to follow her lead. She recently starred in a Got Milk? ad.

Gisele Bundchen: Vegan Sinner, Saint With Five Guys, Lucky Duck

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Models.

The 2009 Rainforest Alliance Gala

Popsugar.com reported that Gisele Bundchen wanted to make the most of her weekend and looks like she played the part of good eater cop/bad eater cop in 48 hours.

The model and wife of New England Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady was spotted at both Five Guys Famous Burger and Fries and carrying a One Lucky Duck bag, a raw foods and organic establishment in New York.

One one hand, we could give her the Barack Obama lecture on making a burger joint visit. But she obviously patronizes vegan shops as well, so we have to give a high five for that.

What do you think? Is Gisele aiming for a Meat-Free Monday type of diet and becoming a flexitarian?

Did Owen Wilson cut in front of her while she was waiting in line?

Z100s Jingle Ball 2008 - Show

After a drawn out discussion and some investigation, we were saddened to learn that Hayley Williams of Paramore isn’t vegetarian after all.

During a conversation with Rob Pattinson, Hayley appeared as if she genuinely loved Gardenburgers.

But one thing Hayley does love is vegan desserts baked by Danielle Konya and her Vegan Treats crew.

On a recent Twitter, Danielle wrote:

“Tonight we baked for Paramore, No Doubt, and Eddie Vedder, fun!!”

The vegan bakery Danielle owns has baked goodies for several celebrities, including AFI and Alkaline Trio, who’s drummer Derek Grant recently wrote a jingle to express his love for Vegan Treats.

You can check out Vegan Treat’s new website, and follow Danielle’s tweeting @vegantreats.

Dennys All Nighter

Denny's All Nighter

All you late night fast food junkies can breathe a sign of relief.

At least there’s one place to visit where you can get some decent vegetarian fare at odd hours in the morning.

A few months ago, we told you, at its own risk, Denny’s restaurant let stars like Good Charlotte twin brothers Benji and Joel Madden into their kitchen to whip up burritos so they could attach a celebrity name to it.

The Denny’s Rock Star Menu #3 is out and features the boys’ creation of a Boca burger burrito with shredded cheese, sliced mushrooms, fire-roasted peppers and onions and spicy mayo. Both are served with tortilla chips and ranch dressing.

This option is available starting next week, but we have some unanswered questions.

Originally, vegetarian and vegan options were suppose to be available. While it’s easy to leave the cheese and mayo off, not every Boca burger is vegan.

Did vegans get ripped off? The only way to find out is to give a holler at the restaurant next week!

McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Photocall

Paul McCartney has said in the past that everyone should at least have a Meat Free Monday, or one day of the week where meat isn’t consumed to lessen the impact of the industry on the planet.

Now the whole McCartney family is getting in on the game, with daughters Mary and Stella backing dear ol’ dad.

The family has been giving Meat Free Monday a lot of press interviews lately, including one with Sky News, where Paul made an attempt to crack a cow fart joke by saying, “A cow walks into a bar…”

Glad he wasn’t able to finish it.

Cows passing gas in the fields are responsible for more greenhouse emissions than cars on the roads.

If this doesn’t scare the fur off Susan Boyles‘ cat Pebbles, nothing will.

Piers Morgan, host of Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent is the poster boy for Burger King’s new scent, Flame.

Piers has donated his face (that’s a model’s body superimposed on his) to the scent that a Burger King spokesperson describes as a “very manly smell.”

“It’s well known that certain foods can increase your libido,” the BK spokesperson said. “Flame has a hint of grilled beef but that has quite masculine connotations. It is almost like a pheromone.”

Yeah, that really gets the veg ladies going, alright. Nothing like rotten flesh to get you in the mood.

Fast food restaurants launching perfume segments of their business? What’s the world coming to? Surely hope there’s no cologne for Long John Silver’s coming in the works.

The video below shows the making of the Piers Morgan Flame porn. Watch and be disgusted at your own risk.

Pink No Non-Drinking Vegetarian: Enjoys Aussie VB Beer

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, June 14th, 2009 in Female Singers, Food & Drink.

Pink Plays Perth

Ingrid Newkirk once said she hated people thinking being vegan meant being a “pure” vegetarian and not drinking or going to church every week.

Singer Pink’s not vegan, but she’s proving vegetarians can have a cold one at the end of the day.

While on tour recently in Australia, she told a reporter that while she prefers to eat vegetarian meals, she kept her concert cooler stocked with VB, Victoria Bitter beer.

Victoria Bitter hasn’t been investigated by the veg friendly alcohol folks at Barnivore.com, so we’re not sure if it’s vegan approved or not. Anyone care to tell?

Update: Victoria Bitter NOT vegetarian or vegan. See comments!
