Hugh Jackman Going To Hell For Eating Too Many Chickens

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine screening
Hugh Jackson needed to get buffed up for his role as Wolverine in the new X-Men movie.

So what did he start eating a zillion times a day? Lots of pasta? Hemp protein powder? Not exactly. That’s why he definitely wants you to know he’s not vegan.

He was recently in Hollywood getting his hands and footprints immortalized in the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, when he told a reporter of his dieting plan.

“Let me tell you, I’m not vegan. I ate so many chickens to make this body. If there is a place in hell for people who eat chickens, I have booked a suite bigger than anybody.”

Say hello to Colonel KFC for us, Hugh.

Damien Fahey Hosts The TRL Wrap Party


John Norris, MTV news correspondent, likes his candy dirty. The vegetarian restaurant in New York city, Dirt Candy, ran by Moby’s former chef Amanda Cohen, has earned his praises.

The vegan wrote about his love of Dirt Candy recently on newyork.decider.com.

“When Dirt Candy opened on East 9th Street last October, it was initially a “find.” Suffice it to say that much of the city has found it. The place is packed night after night, and for good reason: From jalapeno hush puppies to spinach soup with tofu dumplings, from carrot risotto to crispy tofu with green ragout, the restaurant boasts one of the freshest, most inventive vegetarian menus in town. Amanda Cohen, Dirt Candy’s chef/owner, boasts a résumé that includes such treasures as Angelica Kitchen, Pure Food and Wine, and the late, lamented Heirloom. And not only are all of Amanda’s dishes vegetarian, they can all be made vegan—even better. The only suggestion I would offer Dirt Candy: Triple in size! Then maybe I could get in as often as I’d like.”

Ironically, Cohen and her restaurant were criticized by some vegans when it first opened, due to some statements she made to the media about them and the food.

Looks as if John Norris doesn’t take a bit of offense!

The Celebrity Apprentice candidates are dropping faster than the real hairs on Donald Trump’s head did before he put whatever creature of a hairpiece is currently living there now.

Heisman Trophy winner and former running back Herschel Walker is the latest to get the ax. 

The apprentices were given the task of creating a healthy frozen meal for a large company which produces frozen entrees. Herschel led his team with the idea of soy ginger chicken. But dude should never have advocated the chicken dish, given the fact that he’s vegetarian. And that’s probably why he paid the price.

The meal wasn’t exactly the most palatable. Anna Pickard at the Guardian, had a funny way of describing the ordeal:

“The orange helps a lot, and it’s presented: Asian Orange Chicken, quickly renamed to Orange Asian-style chicken when someone notices it’s not ACTUALLY Asian and has never had an Asian person remotely near it: and that something that sounds like ‘Agent Orange Chicken’ might not be a great selling point.”

Yes, Agent Orange, DNA mutating chicken is definitely bad for business.

Unfortunately, Trump was into turkey balls that night and no amount of Agent Orange could mutate him into saving Herschel.

Said Trump, “I love you. I love you Herschel. I love you. I’m not a gay man, but I love you. And you’re fired.”

When Herschel admitted he wasn’t a meat eater, Donald asked why he chose to be in charge of it. It was because that dreadful dog eating Joan Rivers pushed for it.

Pamela Anderson Wants Veggie Bikini Cooking Show On Beach

Vivienne Westwood Red Label - LFW Spring Summer 2009 - Runway


Pamela Anderson wants to return to her Baywatch days, only this time combining thongs with tofu.

The actress wrote on her blog that she is interested in doing a vegan cooking show. But she wants to host it in a bikini.

“I’ve been cooking Vegan every day (myself) – experimenting – trying out new things – I still think I should have my own sexy/fun Vegan-cooking show?- maybe one day.”

“Could always have Girls in bikinis cooking veggies on the beach. I keep getting crazy offers to go back on TV – I don’t think I have the passion anymore for it. What is TV these days anyway? Sensory overload – too busy living the dream? (unless I could do the veggie bikini BBQ show) – I just don’t think I could pull it off – no studio for me (sic).”

Could this be the next Food Network hit?

Heather Mills’ Veggie Shrimp Turned Boyfriend Jamie Walker Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 20th, 2009 in Couples, Food & Drink, Models.

Heather Mills Speaks At Viva! The Incredible Veggie Show
Guess Elsa Maneiro didn’t know what she was talking about when she predicted Heather Mills’ boyfriend,  Jamie Walker, would never go vegan.

Walker is reportedly vegan, thanks to Heather trying out her magical food goodies on him, including a vegan shrimp she claims to have developed.

“You can’t even snog a meat eater,” Mills said, according to splashnewsonline.celebuzz.com.

“It took three months to get my boyfriend vegan. He’s a big, muscly guy so it’s quite easy to convert people.”

Heather has recently launched her vegan food range, Mighty Meatless Meals in Minutes, so it’s safe to assume Walker was a guinea pig in developing the entrees.

Ah, she makes it sound so easy. Have you tried to convert your significant other or any other close friend or relative to vegetarianism or veganism? What was the result?

Bootleg Erin McKenna’s Baby Cakes Frosting Shots

Erin McKenna whips up delicious vegan, gluten-free, and sugar free cupcakes and other baked goodies at her Baby Cakes bakery in New York city. Her establishment has been praised by several celebrities, including Lake Bell, Natalie Portman, Pamela Anderson, and Zoey Deschanel

Apparently the cupcakes aren’t the only reason the customers come in as the frosting is like tequila at happy hour.

According to a recent interview with the Telegraph, “The frosting is so addictive that it has developed a fan base all of its own. Some people just come in for a $1.50 frosting shot that they can knock back like a tequila or a 12oz take-out tub to devour at home.”

What exactly is this inebriating frosting made of?

“Soy milk, soy powder, coconut flour, coconut oil and agave, this is naturally coloured (with a dash of turmeric to make yellow, blueberry juice to make purple, raspberry or beetroot to make pink, and chlorophyll to make green.”

Erin’s cookbook is scheduled to debut next month so you can bootleg your own vegan frosting shots.

V Festival In Hylands Park
You know he’s never down with burnt flesh at his concerts.

Morrissey recently stopped in the middle of “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others,” during a concert because he couldn’t stand the smell of meat cooking in the venue at the recent Coachella festival.

Guess his earlier attempts to have it banned like Chrissie Hynde does didn’t work out too well.

After he got a whiff of burgers coming from a nearby stand, Morrissey stated, “I can smell burning flesh and I hope to God it’s human.”

When he returned to the stage, he said, “The smell of burning animals is making me sick. I just couldn’t bear it.”

We hear ya man.

He then completed the rest of his set, including his newest song, “I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris.”

Have you ever left a celebration or event because it smelled too meaty? Chime in and let everyone know!

Heather Mills’ Mighty Meatless Meals In Minutes Finally Here!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, April 18th, 2009 in Business, Food & Drink, Models.

Farm Sanctuary's 2008 Gala


Update: The Mighty Meatless Meals In Minutes is rumored to have been the name of Heather’s presentation at the Viva! show, not the name of the food line.

Okay. So we’ve been waiting on Heather Mills for the past century to come around and give the name of her new vegan food range.

It’s April, but not April Fool’s Day folks, and the name of her range has actually been unveiled:

Mighty Meatless Meals In Minutes.

That’s quite a vegan mouthful to swallow.

Not only has Heather come forward with the details of her food range, but she’s giving a speech and cooking demonstration about it today in London.

She’ll be giving her ‘Get Healthy With Heather’ speech at the Vegetarian Roadshow, held at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London.

Looks like Mills’ may be following the footsteps of her ex husband, Paul McCartney, who called for Meat-Free Mondays.

“Heather has been developing a new meatless meats food range over the last few years to encourage people to replace meat at least once a week,” said an organizer of the Vegetarian Roadshow event.

It’s awesome that Heather’s bringing out another option for quick, vegan meals.

Can’t wait to see what’s on the old fish restaurant menu!
