Vegetarian Star

Stephen Colbert is proving he’s not of fan of vegetarianism. Not long ago, we brought you the video of him making fun of PETA’s new Sea Kitten Campaign, when he renamed animals to sound more vegetarian friendly like calling owls “sky nachos.”

Recently, he had Sir Paul McCartney on his show where he questioned the ex Beatle’s vegetarian diet.

“I have a beef to pick with you, sir, in that you don’t eat beef,” Colbert said. McCartney goes into detail about him feeling animals are sentient beings that deserve to live and not be eaten by humans and that the Dalai Lama agrees with him. The ever so sarcastic Colbert asks, “Don’t you think if the animals had the opportunity, they would eat us?”

Colbert’s starting to sound like Karl Lagerfeld.

McCartney replied with, “In an emergency, perhaps the Dalai Lama would eat me.”

Watch and listen to Paul say his midriff is the best part to eat during an emergency.

O.A.R front man Marc Roberge has recorded a Public Service Announcement against the fur industry.

Singer for the band known for it’s hits as “Love and Memories” and “Shattered (Turn The Car Around)” is the proud owner, along with his wife, of three dogs-two terrier mixes and an 11 year old pit bull-so it makes sense he’d want to speak out against an industry where in some places even cats and dogs are used and skinned alive. 

“I just find it so hard to believe that people find this practice acceptable at all, and they flaunt it,” Roberge said in an interview with PETA. “Makes me sick, to be honest. Do people crave attention that much? It is laughable that someone can’t see how barbaric wearing fur truly is.”

He advises the best way to get involved with helping animals is to volunteer at a shelter.

“My wife did that growing up and it definitely shaped a caring side of her that grows deeper every year.”

Whatever happened to Pete Wentz?

The Fall Out Boy was once a vegan, then vegetarian, and now is neither. Plus, he’s sporting furry boots lately. What gives?

Sure, there’s a good chance it’s fake fur. But there’s a good chance it isn’t.

Back to the whole vegetarian thing. Between him and Oh, Joe who did, that leaves only two veg men standing-Patrick Stump and Andy Hurley.

Sigh…It would have been fun watching little Bronx grow up loving his seitan and veggies.

A certified green restaurant catered Moby’s Green Room for an inauguration party at the Manifest Hope D.C. gallery, meant to showcase artists who used their voices to speak up on behalf of President Obama during the election.

Moby, as well as De La Soul and Santogold performed, the Washington Business Journal reported.

Sweetgreen is about as green as you can get for an eatery, using local and organic produce, biodegradable packaging and utensils, and energy-efficient lighting. The salad and yogurt shop is also vegan friendly.

“I became vegetarian for three major reasons. I was tired of giving money to businesses and organizations that practice animal cruelty, pollute the environment, and clear cut forest for cattle fields.”

—-Rise Against drummer Brandon Barnes, in an interview, when asked why he became vegetarian.

If you frequently travel by plane, you know the rules of what you can and can’t fly the friendly skies with is pretty strict. So you have to wonder how Jason Mraz gets his bundle of powders and knives through security without a eyelash being batted.

These powders and knives are for preparing delicious raw food dishes, by the way.

Tracey Pepper, writer for the Vegetarian Times, asked that question in the Q & A section of the February 2009 issue of the magazine:

Q: You’re on the road for months at a time. How do you stick to your diet while on tour?

A: I travel with a very large knife and a Vita-Mix 4500 blender. I love my Vita-Mix blender.

Q: How do you get the knife through security?

A: Oh, I check it. I also check a special flight case that holds all my [raw food] powders and mixtures.

Jason says he travels with “plenty of nuts.”

No, he’s not talking about his band and crew.

Usually only security knows what’s in that mysterious case he packs. But if you want to find out, visit the Vegetarian Times for the entire interview.

Don’t forget to look at the picture of the crazy sounding chocolate avocado treat Jason concocted.

It’s no secret we have jumped on Gywneth Paltrow’s turkey eating behind for her website Goop, which has regularly recommended a plethora of meat dishes, even though she has claimed that she and hubby Chris Martin are “pretty much vegetarians” at home.

It seems that husband Chris, frontman for Coldplay, has issues with her site as well. According to Showbiz Spy, the website is causing friction in their marriage.

“He hates any exposure outside of what he considers necessary – his music, charity work and her acting. He thinks Goop’s self-indulgent and hates the speculation that the advice she gives on relationships or family problems may be an insight to their own personal life.”

Granted, the source did say family problems or relationships. However, Chris might be also ticked off that the site is causing other types of speculations. Like maybe, they actually eat turkey in their personal life? Chris has been known to be a vegetarian for some time, (World’s Sexiest, to be exact) before Gwyneth even told everyone about their “pretty much vegetarian” life at home.

The source continues, “Gwyneth doesn’t want to come across as a hypocrite.”

But oh, how she is doing so.

“She knows people will think that advice she’s put on the site is a reflection of what’s happening in her own life, but if she distances herself from those assumptions, people wouldn’t buy into Goop.”

So that’s it! Gywneth really isn’t a turkey burger eating, fish sucking gal at home after all. She’s just pretending to be to attract carnivorous fans.

Find out more about Hunter Burgan at peta2.com.

Hunter Burgan has been (veganly) eating up the spotlight since he’s become Vegan Ambassador for MacBeth shoes.

He sat down with Peta2 for an interview about his recent promotion:

Why was it important for you to design an all-vegan shoe, even down to the glue used?
First off, have you ever worn a pair of shoes without glue? They just fall apart. So, if they are going to use glue, it’s going to have to be vegan glue. You know, animals don’t wear shoes with human glue—it’s just disrespectful.

Makes perfect sense.

You can watch Hunter’s MacBeth video above and see him doing a spastic like dance before taking out an umbrella to protect himself from-you guessed it-raining shoes.

You can also enter a contest to win a pair of Hunter’s new shoes and an iPod nano, but you must do so before February 2nd.
