Rocker Bryan Adams Exposes His Refrigerator To Rachael Ray

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Peace One Day - Stage Performances

Bryan Adams exposed himself to Rachael Ray. Geez, we thought he was a gentleman.

Actually, he still is. He just opened his refrigerator to the celebrity chef for her Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine in the December/January 2009 issue, where you’ll also find his favorite Pineapple-Ginger juice recipe, which he drinks every morning.

His fridge is obviously stocked similar to what we told you was in his shopping cart, such as wholesome vegan foods like medjool dates.

Those who follow him know he’s been a vegan for 20 years and he even switched to a completely raw diet for awhile, which he claims during that time he never got sick.

“I didn’t even have a headache—it was unbelievable,” he said. “So now I still try to eat raw about 50 percent of the time.”

So take that, Bijou Phillips, who recently said she was going back to Atkins to lose weight and being a vegan made her sick all the time.

Adams has a self-portrait in front of his fridge-probably to remind him of how gorgeous his body looks so he’ll keep eating vegan.

Read his interview with Rachael Ray, and hear how he’d love to invite her over for a 30 Minute Meal of cheeseless rigatoni pasta with pesto sauce.

Gym Class Hero Travis McCoy Wants Dinosaur Burger Last Meal

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, December 21st, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Singers, Not So Vegetarian.

MTV Europe Music Awards 2008: VIP Arrivals

When lead vocalist of alternative hip-hop group Gym Class Heroes was asked what his last meal on earth would be, he suggested an entree completely different than what he’s used to eating.

“I’ve been a vegetarian for about five years now, so I’d probably just have the biggest, grossest carnivorous meal ever. Maybe like a human leg or a brontosaurus burger.”

A vegetarian for half a decade and suddenly he wants to get cannibalistic? Or visit Jurassic Park to hunt for his dinner?

Since he suggested a “carnivorous meal” as his last one, it’s probably safe to say he’s one of those vegetarians that misses his real meat and likes the imitation variety.

His longtime girlfriend, singer Katy Perry, who’s recently denied rumors they are engaged, said she wanted to make a New Year’s Resolution to become vegetarian, but thought it would be hard because she liked chicken too much.

Travis expressing his desire for flesh sure doesn’t do much to encourage her. Craving for chicken is one thing. How will she ever be convinced there are substitutes that taste just like T-Rex?

Gwyneth Paltrow Has True Vegetarian Moment. Seriously.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, December 20th, 2008 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

Gwyneth Paltrow attends launch party for Spain..On The Road Again

Despite her recent transgressions against vegetarianism, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who claims she is “pretty much vegetarian,” actually stood up in defense of both animals and soy milk. Yes, the crucified soy milk.

During a clip of “Spain…On The Road Again,” she’s sitting with Mario Batali and exclaims that Spanish soy milk is delicious.

Mario teases her about his, asking if he can get her some, “steamy, hot stinky soy milk,” and jokes that Spanish soy milk is good because they [the Spaniards] make “great soy sauce.”

Gwyneth tells Mario to shove it. Ouch!

She then chides him for eating lamb earlier, saying it’s such bad karma to eat baby animals (grown  male turkeys still fair game).

Mario’s argument that lots of “tiny soys,” gave up their life for her milk just isn’t as convincing a rebuttal.

Visit Eat Me Daily to view the video (it’s the one at the bottom of the page) as well as a clip showing Gwyneth cringing at the death of a lobster.

Rajneesh Duggal Finds France A Foe When Needing Meatless Food

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, December 18th, 2008 in Actors, Bollywood, Food & Drink.

240_rajneeshMark Ruffalo isn’t the only actor to experience the horrors of finding good vegetarian food while traveling abroad.

Rajneesh Duggal, Bollywood actor who made his debut in the film, 1920, survived on steamed rice and vegetables for five days from a Chinese restaurant located across the street from the hotel he was staying in Paris, France, because he couldn’t find vegetarian food elsewhere.

But that’s nothing compared to his dining in experience with colleagues at an Italian/French cuisine restaurant.

Poor Duggal couldn’t find anything vegetarian on the menu.

“All my friends began ordering non-vegetarian food, while I was busy seeking for some vegetarian food in the menu, but all in vain. I was starving and seeing them enjoying the food made me even more hungry.”

His friends, who no doubt felt sorry for him as they chowed away on their meaty entrees, suggested he find something with eggs or fruit. Finally, after discussing with the waiter his problem, the restaurant chefs had specially made Banana crepes prepared.

Anne Hathaway: Easier To Eat Meat While Dating Raffaello Follieri

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

Anne Hathaway Joins Forces With Netflix & Feeding America To Combat Hunger

Anne Hathaway is gracing the cover of the January 2009 issue of Vogue magazine, discussing her new life and all the changes she’s made since ditching her currently behind bars ex Raffaello Follieri.

She said she ate meat while dating him because it was “easier for the lifestyle at that time,” but soon banished that quicker than a jury can say, “guilty.”

“I don’t eat anything with a face,” she said, referring to her new diet, which she discussed a few months ago on David Letterman

She also can kick your butt-she’s taken up kickboxing lessons with Hollywood fitness guru David Kirsch.

You gotta wonder what she meant when she said eating meat was easier for the lifestyle when dating Follieri? Did he insist on only stocking steak in his fridge?

Jason Mraz Shies From Revealing Choco Avocado Masterpiece

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Hard Rock Calling Festival 2008 Day 1

If you’ve been keeping up with the news we bring you (and you should), you know that Jason Mraz switched to a raw foods vegan diet last Spring and is a homegrown avocado farmer.

He’s talked about his love for avocado before and mentioned it briefly with E!Online. When asked if he was an avocado expert, he replied:

“I like to think so. I certainly know how to choose them in a grocery store.”

Oh, Jason, Jason, Jason! You do so much more than choose the right ones in the grocery store.

Mraz has created his very own Chocomole, a chocolate mousse made with avocado.

Trying to be humble?

When he doesn’t have an avocado sweet tooth, Jason likes to cut them in half and sprinkle lemon juice on them before gobbling up.

Read the rest of Jason’s story with E! Online.

Ellen Pompeo, Hubby Chris Ivery Munch On Veggie Burgers

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 in Actors, Actresses, Food & Drink.

Y-3 - Front Row - Spring 09 MBFW

Sandra Oh must have gotten Ellen Pompeo hooked on veggie grub since she took the cast of Grey’s Anatomy to Truly Vegan, an L.A. vegan restaurant a few months ago!

Ellen was spotted with her hubby, Chris Ivery, at L.A.’s Kitchen 24 eating veggie burgers.

As we brought you the news before, the entire Grey’s group Sandra took really enjoyed their vegan restaurant experience, including Patrick Dempsey, who couldn’t get enough vegan chocolate cake and Ellen, who returned to the spot several times after her first experience.

Whether or not Ellen Pompeo has “gone veg wild,” has not been determined. But it’s safe to say she’s got a thing for it!

Lisa Loeb Ate Corn Dog Without The Dog At Texas State Fair

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 in Female Musicians, Female Singers, Food & Drink.

Icons Of Music II Auction At The Hard Rock Cafe New York

For 15 years, singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb thought she was allergic to corn. Turns out she wasn’t and she wanted to celebrate. So she ate a corn dog at the Texas State Fair-minus the hot dog, according to Dallas News.

The vegetarian best known for her hit song in 1994, “Stay,” is getting married soon, but is not naming the lucky guy.

She’s a Texas native, and she dressed up as Sarah Palin for Halloween, but her views don’t mirror those of the party in which the current President who shares the same state as her stomping grounds belongs. Her fiance went as Joe the Plumber!

While it’s great Lisa knows she can eat corn, we just can’t help but wonder if she could have celebrated with something other than a hotdogless corndog, which probably resembled a mere hush puppy. Like maybe corn on the cob? Seems similar to ordering a Big Mac at McDonald’s with just bread and toppings.

But who are we to argue with a Brown University graduate?
