Vegetarian Star

Paul McCartney is playing the role of bad boy these days. He relaxed a lot of his strict habits, which include avoiding sugar. Gasp!

According to The Telegraph  when asked what he’s putting in his tea these days, he replied, “Milk and sugar. Sugar these days, yes. I know not many people dare to take sugar these days, but I’m just reckless.”

Reckless, indeed. Perhaps even more astonishing is his decision to play in China, a country he vowed not to step foot in after watching a documentary on their use of cats and dogs for fur.

“I wouldn’t even dream of going over there to play, in the same way I wouldn’t go to a country that supported apartheid. This is just disgusting… I couldn’t go there. If they want to consider themselves a civilised nation, they’re going to have to stop this.”

Now, he has been reported to tell a radio station, “I’ve never played in China, I’m kind of interested to see what that’s like. There’s lots of places I’ve never played, but I think China would be the answer.”

Is this Paul wanting one last wild ride as he reaches, ahem, maturity? Or perhaps it has to do with the company he’s keeping.

It was watching the dog and cat fur documentary with this then wife, Heather Mills, that prompted him to swear off China. And she reportedly also liked to enforce strict rules about eating.

Rebellion hits everyone sooner or later.

Rachael Ray is really feeling some love from vegetarians and vegans lately.

First, we learned of how her brand new cookbook that she calls BOB, features an entire chapter of recipes devoted to meatless cooking.

Now, she’s featuring vegan musician Bryan Adams’ favorite juice recipe in the December ’08/January ’09 issue of Everyday With Rachael Ray.

Adams must stock up on a lot of pineapples, ginger, and peaches when he goes to the grocery store.

Best of all, the Pineapple-Ginger Juice recipe is completely sweetened by nature.

May we suggest drinking this to wash down your Thanksgiving Tofurky feast this year?

“When I was about 18 years old, I had this realization — I’ve always loved animals, I love my dog, I love my cat — and I had this simple realization that I wouldn’t want to be involved with anything that would cause my dog to suffer, therefore I shouldn’t be involved in anything that causes other animals to suffer. That led me to be a vegan.”

“I do try to be a nonjudgmental vegan, so if someone chooses to eat meat that’s their choice, just for myself and keeping my conscience relatively clear, I choose not to.”

—-Moby, in an interview with Pelly Twins. He does a lot of work with the Humane Society because he thinks they’re, “really effective legislators.”

Jason Mraz likes to lessen the environmental impact on his body by following a vegan raw food diet, as you’ll hear him mention in this video. We’re sure this includes lots of avocados from his farm. You’ll also learn how he’d much rather you write to him on recycled paper made from, ahem, animal poop. It’s much better for the environment.

Good Charlotte musician Benji Madden and Paris Hilton are an item and are officially telling the world about it. Yes, we know you care so much.

They were spotted at the premiere for Hilton’s new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera at Planet Hollywood where they then went to an after party and feasted on vegetarian spring rolls, pork pot stickers, and mini cheeseburger sliders.

Well, it’s assumed that Benji feasted on the spring rolls, since he has publicly claimed to be vegetarian. Paris did her part to stomp her carbon footprint into the earth and offset Benji’s spring rolls by downing the pork and beef.

Peta has said that they want vegetarians to date meat eaters as it gives the opportunity to educate and (they’re hoping) convert.

It worked for Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell.

To twist a famous Elvis song, how ’bout a “little more conversation and a little less action?” Trade one lip locking night with a night of education about the benefits of reducing meat.

It might also be a good idea to tell her to stop collecting so many puppies.

Whether you like it or not, people pay attention to celebrities. And that can be a good thing.

A report done by the pet insurer company LV= claims more pet owners are feeding their dog vegetarian diets because celebrities like Alicia Silverstone and Paul McCartney feed their dogs vegan and vegetarian food.

Silverstone even went to far as to say her dogs don’t pass as much gas now that they’re vegan. If only that worked for people.

Interesting tidbits:

16% of pet owners follow the government nutritional advice for humans. Yep, five servings of fruits and vegetables a day for both you and Barker.

40% of pet owners feed their pets 3 servings of fruits and veggies a day.

The most popular vegetable choices for pets are carrots, followed by potatoes, and lastly peas.

While giving kitty and doggy fresh produce can be good, it’s always best to check with a vet before introducing changes in diet. And kitties are true carnivores-they’ll always need meat with their potatoes.

Bryan Au is a raw vegan food celebrity chef who’s had the opportunity to share some tasty bites many of the meat-free and famous.

His most memorable meal involved Alicia Silverstone and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

“Once Alicia Silverstone picked me up in her Echo Car (a Hybrid car made by Toyota) and she took me to a underground dinner in Hollywood where the Red Hot Chili Peppers showed up and joined us for one of the most delicious and amazing RAW Organic Dinners…one of my most favorite rock groups in the World”

In case you didn’t know, the lead chili pepper, Anthony Kiedis is a vegan and has his own private vegan chef.

And good ol’ Alicia may be a secret vegan chef hiding her skills, as Au says she taught him a lot of things about raw food.

He learned just how he is appreciated by celebrities at Peta’s 25th Anniversary Gala in Paramount Studios in Hollywood. While getting a chance to meet “all the celebrities” he always wanted to, he ran out of treats in his raw food booth he had set up. But luckily for him, there was one last celebrity that stopped by just before the pantry was cleaned out.

“…at least I had some left when Pamela Anderson came by.”

To try what every celebrity couldn’t get enough of, get Raw in Ten Minutes, a cookbook he wrote. Don’t forget to shop at his Raw Online Store for all the kitchen equipment you’ll need for a great uncooked event.

When vegans breakup, they can still enjoy a meal together peacefully.

Singer Missy Higgins once dated fellow Australian Johnny MacKay, member of the band Children Collide. They broke up, moved on, and went their separate ways.

Both vegan food lovin’ individuals, they happened to run into each other in the vegan food mecca of L.A. Amazingly, there was no fighting, bickering, dirty looks, and both parties got along just dandy.

They also enjoyed a nice dinner and saw a concert afterwards. MacKay told News.com:

“She’s cool. We’re cool… it was a long time ago now.”
