The boys of Rise Against don’t take themselves too seriously. They just like to scoot around.

To entertain themselves while on their current tour to promote the album Appeal To Reason, they’ve brought along scooters so they cruise around the cities they play. Singer Tim McIlrath told Rolling Stone:

“Now, instead of being cooped up in a venue all day, we can just cruise around town. It keeps us sane.”

The all vegetarian group keeps from getting hungry by requesting platters of raw vegetables, Gatorade, and Diet Dr. Pepper backstage.

One night they used their big boy toys to hunt for some vegan cheese steaks before a show.

Wheels, food, and a venue filled with women who love rock and roll. What else could a man asked for?

Sometimes it’s tough to be a big shot actor. The media shows no mercy. Not to mention how hard it is to find good vegetarian food when you’re shooting a film overseas.

When Mark Ruffalo was filming the comedy, The Brothers Bloom, in Serbia, he found it hard to find good veggie grub, and mainly had to eat what is called a Shopska salad. It doesn’t sound half bad-tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, roasted peppers, and sirene (white brine cheese). But eating that every day could make a brother bloom rather gloom.

“It was really sad for me there,” he told the UK Metro, referring to his lack of vegetarian options.

Not to mention the Cannibalistic Serbs who love to snack on vegetarian actors.

“When I told them I was vegetarian they were like ‘you must be from America because nobody here would ever be vegetarian – we tear you vegetarians to pieces and eat you!'”

Unless of course, you give them an autograph. Then they’ll eat someone else.

Always nice to be welcomed abroad.

Mmmm…And who doesn’t have a sweet tooth for him?

Adam Levine and the rest of the guys in Maroon 5 held a Halloween party that was completely vegan.

They called upon the expertise of raw food chef and author Ani Phyo to cater dairy free treats such as Happy Halloween Chocolates and Apricot Kream Filled Acai Tartlets.

According to Ani’s website, most of the guys in the band are vegan.

You can look at a picture of Adam’s costume, along with some of the other star guests who attended, such as Adrian Grenier from Entourage who went as Oliver, from Oliver’s Twist, on Ani’s blog.

If delicious pics of the guys don’t satisfy you, try making one of Ani’s recipes.

R & B soul diva, India.Arie will admit to liking a wide variety of foods, but still is careful about what she puts in her mouth.

“I really like most curry dishes, Thai food, and tofu. Although I like a lot of different things, I don’t take a lot of risks with food because I’m very particular about what I put in my body.”

Luckily, for the Grammy award winning singer, a vegetarian diet is full of variety to spice up her palate and finding a restaurant that suits her needs isn’t hard to do-even in other continents.

While traveling in South Africa, she found the equivalent of a vegetarian “hole-in-the-wall,”-a small vegetarian restaurant ran by a single woman.

“She used a meat substitute she got from Durban in southeast Africa. I went every day for a week to eat there.”

When back in the U.S., she’s a fan of Annie’s Natural Goddess Dressing, raw almond butter, and frozen bananas in smoothies.

Brian Greene is a physicist and professor who was educated at Harvard and currently teaches at Columbia University where he studies how the universe works. The discipline he thinks rocks the most is “string theory,” also known as unified field theory. Don’t ask us how to explain it.

So why is he here on a celebrity site? Well, he’s become a celebrity in in own nerdy way, appearing on The David Letterman Show, Conan O’Brian, and has authored several books. He also kept the writers at 3rd Rock From The Sun from looking stupid when they incorporated science facts into episodes for the show.

Shortly after telling his mom he was going vegetarian, he went to the fridge to make a salami sandwich. Does this prove that science geniuses aren’t always that smart, ha, ha? Well, he was only nine years old, so give him a break. He chalks it up to his “city kid” awareness of things. (We think this means if it no longer looks like meat, it fools ya.)

“I became vegetarian when I was nine because my mother cooked spare ribs in a manner that made the connection to meat from an animal particularly clear. So at that point I said I’m never eating meat again and proceeded to go to the refrigerator and make a salami sandwich, because, a city kid, you know, what is meat? You don’t know what meat is, really. And my parents said, “Well, that salami is meat.”… But I did eat dairy for a while until I went to an animal sanctuary in Upstate New York and learned all sorts of things about the dairy industry, which, frankly, I was happy not to know. But once I did, I couldn’t go back. I’m still searching for the ultimate vegan pizza.”

If you’re interested in reading the rest of the interview, we can make that happen. If you’re interested in learning more about string theory-you’re on your own.

Ah, the old tradition of asking for forgiveness by offering a gift. So not long ago, Gwyneth Paltrow did a very, very naughty advertisement. Well, it wasn’t really naughty, but it did offend quite a few vegetarian and vegan people.

Unlike Leona Lewis who said FUR-get it, Paltrow posed in fur lined boots and bags for the clothing line Tod’s. Known for her macrobiotic and vegetarian diet, she angered PETA and was rumored to upset her fellow veg friends like Stella McCartney. Now it looks as if she is offering a gift of a recipe for vegan pancakes to make it up to all of us.

She put a website up, called Goop (which incidentally, is the descriptive word that might come to mind when you think of pancake batter). Goop is all about goop good food: restaurants, recipes, advice, etc.

“I’ve got a thing for pancakes. This combination of nutty buckwheat and sweet, sticky banana is just great. You could sprinkle chopped walnuts on the pancakes as they’re cooking for a full-on pancake-meets-banana bread experience. These happen to be vegan, but don’t taste like it.”

Hmff. We don’t know what she’s implying by “don’t taste like it.” If “vegan” had a taste, we’d want to buy bulk size flavorings of it. But it does sound like a really great recipe, plus lots of more boring healthy information such as “calcium, vitamins, iron, gluten-freeness,” and so forth. If you’d like to accept Gwyneth’s offer of apology, keep going for the recipe. (more…)
