Maroon 5 Perform On ABC's

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.

Henry Rollins Spoken Word Tour In Dublin

The election countdown has begun. Okay, so maybe, depending on how fanatical you are, you may have been counting weeks ago, but with less than a week remaining until a new Pres is named to take the helm in D.C., everybody’s getting their 2 cents in, including celebrities, during these last days.

Henry Rollins, who’s resume includes singer and songwriter, stand-up comedian, spoken word master, book author, band founder, and publisher put more than a few cents in to Time Out Mag on his political views, including the Republican “wealth trickles down,” theory:

“[Republicans]They like big business, they believe in the trickle-down theory, that we are supposedly going to eat the crumbs that fall from Caesar’s mouth at the big feast. I would argue that they have very good crumb catchers to make sure you get less and less. And so, I think the good sense falls with the Democrats.”

Instead of feasting on crumbs, Rollins stay healthy by juicing and eating a lot of soy protein. “I don’t eat red meat. I don’t eat pork, lamb or chicken,” he said.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale after a Halloween party, Gwen dressed as an egg and Gavin as the bacon

The lovely Hollaback girl Gwen Stefani and her hubby Gavin Rossdale went to a Halloween party with their children and decided to play big kids and dress themselves up as bacon and egg.

That’s right. Bacon, for Gavin, the VEGETARIAN. We can only hope he was imitating Lightlife’s Smart Bacon or some other veggie substitute. Of course, Gwen’s costume could have been something worse, like fur. But it would have made things stressful for the couple when it came time to split the candy. The pork costume wearing ex Bush frontman is vocal about the fur industry and was once quoted as saying:

“The person I love would never wear fur. Fur just makes me think of shallow women who have no conscience. The fur industry belongs to a time when people were selfish beyond belief. If you were some ancient tribal cheiftain, and there was not a department store nearby 350 years ago, I’d understand. But now, we have synthetic fibers,and it’s not necessary. The elitism of fur makes me wanna puke.”

The elitism of bacon costumes makes us wanna puke. Hopefully next scary season Gavin will dress up as a humble tempeh block.

Thanks Ecorazzi

Morrissey Plays Alexandra Palace

“I’d rather eat my own testicles than reform the Smiths, and that’s saying something for a vegetarian.”

—-Morrissey, to Uncut Magazine, on getting back together on stage with The Smiths, a band he and Johnny Marr, rocked with in the 80s. The band supposedly broke up due to a lot of bickering between he and Johnny. Bummer. They couldn’t even find their veg lovin’ as common ground to stay together.

On another interesting note, Morrissey, once responded to the opening of a new animal research lab by saying, “If you like vivisection, go and be vivsectioned upon yourselves.” Eating one’s own, uh, reproductive goodies, comes pretty close to that.

10th Anniversary Benefit Supporting Road Recovery - New York

Tom Morello is just looking to be a part of the club, but he technically doesn’t meat (pun, pun, pun) all the criteria. The former Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave member who now does his solo thing as the musical act The Nightwatchman, says he’s been a vegetarian (flexitarian) on and off since college (he’s 44 now).

But currently he’s eating fish (so that makes him a pescatarian?) and gives into the lust that many men can’t turn down: Breast. Turkey breast, that is.

“IVE BEEN A VEGETARIAN ON AND OFF SINCE I ENTERED COLLEGE AND READ A BOOK CALLED “ANIMAL LIBERATION” BY AN AUTHOR WHO’S LAST NAME IS SINGER. IT CONVINCED ME OF THE IMMORALITY OF PARTICIPATING IN EATING MEAT THAT CAME THROUGH THE HORRIFIC FACTORY FARM SYSTEM. WHEN I FIRST BECAME A VEGETARIAN I HAD NEVER MET ANOTHER VEGETARIAN AND DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT SO IT BASICALLY LEFT ME WITH SALAD AND CHOCOLATE AND FRENCH FRIES AS THE ONLY THINGS LEFT ON THE MENU. I BECAME VERY SICK. KIND OF WENT BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN EATING MEAT AND NOT EATING MEAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW YEARS. I STILL EAT FISH REGULARILY AND ON THANKSGIVING CAN BE LURED TO EAT TURKEY.”

What the heck? If he’s eating fish, he’s not technically vegetarian and if he’s eating turkey, he’s still not pescatarian. Wouldn’t it be easier for him to just say he doesn’t eat red meat and tries to reduce other meat consumption?

Oh well. Paul McCartney called for Meat Free Mondays in hopes of getting everyone to reduce the impact of meat consumption on the environment even if they didn’t give it up completely. Morello is making an effort, even if it’s not the greatest one.

Someone should really show him the Tofurky section of Whole Foods next month though.

That Pesky Michael Bolton Eating Lobster Gossip

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Lincoln Center's Annual Spring Gala Honors Robert A. Iger

Being in the business of celebrity news and gossip, we know there’s a chance that every time we publish something, there may be a tidbit or two that’s left out or somewhat incorrect as we get our sources from places that get their sources and the game of telephone is played.

But we do try to use good sense before hitting the “publish” icon in our blog platform. For example, if we read that Paul McCartney was standing on the corner, alternating bites between a KFC drumstick and a Big Mac, we’d know the story was full of you know what.

Soulful crooner Michael Bolton once was asked to name the silliest story he’s ever read about himself:

“That I was once at a party eating lobster and drinking champagne. They were trying to connect me with some woman, but for starters I’m vegetarian so I’d never be eating lobster.”

Yeah, Michael wouldn’t chow down on lobster or any Sebastian cousin for a woman. In fact, it reportedly “grossed him out,” to watch ex Nicollete Sheridan eat lamb chops.

What’s the next ridiculous material to be published? Gordon Ramsay turning vegan?
