Vegetarian Star

As an adolescent, how did you rebel? Break curfew? Dress trampy and date the bad boy? How about eat meat behind mom and dad’s back? Aisha Tyler of Fox’s 24 and Ross’ girlfriend, Charlie, in Friends,  was a very, very bad girl. In an interview with Britain’s Night and Day magazine:

“I love food. I’m not someone who has ever been able to survive on lettuce leaves. My parents were vegetarians and I went to school with sandwiches with tofu and greens. None of the other kids wanted to trade their lunches with me. It forced me to be funny and make friends. I had to assimilate with the other youngsters even though I felt like an outsider. When other kids were rebelling by smoking and drinking, I was going out and sneaking meat on the side. It sounds crazy but my idea of rebellion was to buy a turkey dinner and eat it without mum and dad knowing.”

Bad Aisha. Bad, bad, bad. That’s an act punishable of at least a year’s worth of grounding. And who said anything about surviving on lettuce leaves? Didn’t Tyler’s parents know about Morningstar Farms?

The October 2008 issue of Vegetarian Times features a short Q&A session with Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla with writer Gabrielle Harradine. Check your mail, it’s probably there already. If you don’t subscribe, what the heck are you waiting for? Get your veggie butts to the grocery stands already!

Anyway, there is a site called Cooking With Rock Stars, which features, you guessed it, musicians and their favorite recipes. Chris Walla has his “Peanut Butter Veggie Sausage Toast,” recipe posted. In the interview with Harradine, he said:

“It sounds wrong, but it’s really good! Ideally, you use Lightlife Gimme Lean Sausage and Sourdough bread: Toast a slice of bread and spread peanut butter on it; then grill the sausage in your favorite oil, halve them lengthwise, salt to taste, and place them on the toasted bread.”

This sounds almost as bad as RZA’s veggie patty between waffles. But we have to trust Chris on this one. If anyone tries this out, please let us know!

Unlike his experience at Nick and Toni’s in the Hampton’s, Paul McCartney thought the perfect place to stick this food would be in his mouth.

Chef Aldo Zilli at Signor Zilli restaurant in Soho, London, prepared a menu specially for McCartney that consisted of five courses-all of which Paul ate, including avocado and mango salad, asparagus wrapped in leeks, chargrilled veg with mozzarella and goat’s cheese ravioli.

Yeah, we’d stick most of that in our mouths too.

I don’t wanna wait…For the tempeh special to be over.

James Van Der Beek and his wife Heather Combs were reported to have had lunch at a vegan restaurant in Beverly Hills, according to Starz Life.  He’s known best for his role of Dawson on the 90s T.V. series Dawson’s Creek. We really wish we had more details…but we don’t.

Yes, it would have been nice to know the name of the restaurant and what they ordered. We’re not even sure that ol’ Dawson and his gal are vegetarians. But one thing we know for sure: It’s darn cool.

It would also be interesting to know what purpose that pole is doing there. Might make a completely different celebrity story. Do you guys have any suggestions?

English born singer-songwriter Nellie McKay has won praise for her albums such as Get Away From Me, Pretty Little Head, and Obligatory Villagers. She also was a stand up comedian. A beautiful woman, who sings well, is funny, and  vegan? Some people have too much of an advantage.

“I’m a junkatarian meaning I’m vegan to the best of my ability but I like to order French fries all the time. To displace feminism, I don’t like to cook much so I order out a lot and often I order French fries. I find being a vegan very hard. It’s a huge pain in the ass, everyday I try but it’s hard. But if everyone cuts down just a little, like cut one meat product out of your life or cut back a day of meat a week, that will make a change. I finally decided to become a vegan while I was eating a Sunday at Denny’s, I thought it’s time, I know whats going on, I need to make a change, it needs to happen. The animals, if they could, they’d thank you.”

A list of top vegetarian friendly rehabs has been released by PETA and several of the centers have catered to many celebrities, including Mel Gibson. While we don’t know if any of these celebs actually requested non-meat meals during their tenures, we definitely know where Amy Winehouse’s next stop should be if she decides to go vegetarian. Here’s what she might enjoy:

Passages (California): Hummus, tabouleh, pasta primavera, vegetarian lasagne, wild mushroom pasta, vegetarian tacos and burritos, and veggie burgers. Mel Gibson stayed here.

The Meadows (Arizona): Tofu, veggie burgers, and vegetarian casseroles. Kate Moss, Eric Benet, Mike Tyson, Elle McPherson, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson, Paul Gascoigne, Ron Wood, Kerry Katona, Michael Barrymore, and Whitney Houston have all done rehab time here.

Cottonwood de Tucson (Arizona, yes the The Grand Canyon State has 2 of the favorites!): Baked rigatoni with spinach, wasabi mashed potatoes with snap peas, veggie pizza, veggie fried rice with spring rolls, portobello mushrooms stuffed with polenta, vegetable tostadas, green corn tostadas. Ron Wood, Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell, and Robbie Williams have all said, “Yes, yes, yes,” to here.

For a complete list, go here.

Ugly Betty actress Rebecca Romijn is expecting a set of twins with husband Jerry O’Connell and according to Female First, she’s definitely craving soy cheese for three. Hubby O’Connell said:

“Lemonade always has to be in our fridge. That’s my job. Also soy cream cheese. It’s crazy, right? Can’t be cream cheese. Soy cream cheese. Do you know how difficult it is to find soy cream cheese? It’s usually in the corner of the supermarket someplace!”

Hard to find soy products in some supermarkets?! You don’t have to tell us about it. It would be cool if she kept craving soy products after the twins are delivered.
