Vegetarian Star

Montel Williams’ daughter Wyntergrace isn’t the only one concerned about vegetarian options in school lunches.

Students at Carter Elementary and Williams Preparatory Academy is Chicago, Illinois are getting a taste of Soul Veg Restaurant in the Windy City thanks to basketball legend John Salley.

Salley teamed up with PETA to provide veggie burger giveaways to the schools where he will screen his new ad for PETA.

“Vegetarians have more energy and stamina than meat-eaters, and we’re less likely to become fat and keel over from a heart attack. But being a vegetarian isn’t just good for me, it’s good for the animals.”

According to a press release from PETA, “Studies show that fast-food restaurants are more prevalent in low-income, predominantly African-American communities, where families are more likely to take advantage of these cheap, unhealthy options.”

The two schools Salley is expected to attend are public schools both located in predominately African-American neighborhoods.

Today’s the big day for Carter students and tomorrow Williams’ Prep kids will get their veg burger on.

Kudos to Salley for helping make a difference.

Chelsea Autumn is the right hand woman for Patti Stanger, founder and president of  the Bravo reality TV show Millionaire Matchmaker, where gold-diggers, or uh, women looking for men with over a million dollars in wealth sign up to find love while the sugar daddies get makeovers. 

Autmn’s exact title is “V.P. of Match Making,” and she runs all over the place working with and pleasing clients and trying to score a hook up (true love) for everyone.

That kind of fast paced life is enough to make anyone head for the unhealthy ice cream after a day’s work. Luckily, Autumn has a great momma with good taste in healthy baking-vegan baking, that is. And mom shares her vegan cookie love for both Autumn and the staff regularly.

From the Houstonist.com:

“My family is very proud of me. I am very blessed in that way to have a family who will be proud of me no matter what I do. My mom and a few of my sisters have met Patti and love her! Patti loves my mom. We call my mom a wind goddess because she is so earthy and calm. My mom also makes the best vegan cookies in the world called “Carley’s Cookies”. Whenever the MC staff needs something sweet we have my mom make us her infamous cookies.”

Sounds like the perfect match.

Is Mayor Michael Bloomberg vegetarian? The New York Post is hinting so.

The wealthiest resident in New York city dined at Morton’s Steakhouse in Brooklyn eating “onion soup, broccoli and grilled asparagus.”

Sounds like Bloomberg pulled a Patrick Stump in the steakhouse.

Bloomberg sampled other treats, including the specially prepared for his  crew homemade empañadas, but refrained from eating meat and was “strictly vegetarian.”

If Bloomer is veggie, it would be great for him to come out of the veg closet and let New Yorkers know how awesome it is, even if he flexes.

Now how about putting NY Veg Day on the next city council agenda!

Avril Lavigne has been known to go and make things complicated when it comes to her status as a vegetarian, but this really takes the vegan cake.

In her hometown of Napanee, Ontario in Canada, at La Pizzeria Pizza and Spaghetti House, there’s a pizza named after her. Avril was a regular there, eating lots of slices of mushroom, olive, and pepperoni pizza. Yes, pepperoni.

And although Avril has associated herself with being vegetarian, she still rides the roni when she visits home, according to pizzeria co-owner Bill Kosmopoulos.

“She still has pepperoni on it,” said Bill, referring to the pizza Avril eats when she stops by occasionally. 

This story is sorta reminiscent of vegetarian Alec Baldwin joking around with the New Yorker saying he shot and smoked deer meat and ate it every morning. Only this story sounds true.

“In East Hampton, I’m a nudist and I eat meat,” Baldwin—a vegetarian—had said before my visit, expanding on the idea that he lived a quite different life on Long Island than he did in New York. “I shoot deer with a bow and arrow. I smoke the deer meat and eat it every morning with my eggs and toast. I am a homosexual. I listen to rock music, loud.”

Insert Avril’s name and change a few of the specifics and you get:

“In Napanee, I chow down on the pepperoni and live a quite different life than I do in the states.”

“If only it were true! I would put vegan food everywhere. I’d put it anywhere it’d help to minimize meat consumption and get people to have tasty alternatives.”
—-Heather Mills, in an interview with ExtraTV.warnerbrothers.com on that false rumor going around that she signed a multi million dollar deal to promote a vegan burger with Burger King.

She’s on her way to sprinkling some vegan food dust in a couple of countries. She’s working with Hunts Point Charity to bring vegan food to impoverished families in the Bronx in the US and most recently, bought an old fish restaurant in the UK that she plans to turn into a vegan eatery.

The UK Hell’s Kitchen is back, full of celebrity cooking adventures.

One contestant on the show is Ms. Dynamite, born Niomi McLean Daley, an award winning hip hop singer and rapper.

Depending on the challenges given, Ms. Dynamite might have some performance problems on the show, given the fact that she recently turned vegetarian.

“Once I started to cut down on the meat and dairy products, it started to improve – it was all down to vanity, to be honest,” she told the UK Daily Mail.

“I don’t want to get on my high horse about it but I do feel a lot healthier in my diet. I don’t think I would struggle to cook meat during the show but gutting and skinning an animal would be a different story.”

Vegetarian hatin’ Gordon Ramsay started the UK Hell’s Kitchen, then left to run the famous U.S version. What’s fun about the UK version is that celebrities are the contestants.

The new series of Hell’s Kitchen starts next week in the UK on ITV1.

There’s a lot of hoopla going around the web about Michelle Obama touching the Queen during a recent visit to Buckingham Palace.

We don’t know if there was any touching going on at this particular event, but a dinner where a famous British athlete preferred the veggie option is worth talking about.

Dame Kelly Holmes is a double Olympic gold medalist who has set British records in several middle distance running categories, including 600, 800, 1,000, and 1,500 meters distances.

She recently had lunch with First Lady Michelle Obama to celebrate the G20 summit.

Dame Kelly gave kudos to the vegetarian meal of goats cheese starter and potato dumpling.

We’re not sure if she sampled the meat dishes or if she doesn’t eat meat, but it’s cool she preferred the veggie option!
