Vegetarian Star

Beatles "Yesterday and Today" album cover

According to some sources, Paul McCartney wasn’t introduced to vegetarianism by Linda McCartney until the mid 70s. Sounds true, cause there would be no way Paul would have posed with raw meat cuts for the Beatles’ Yesterday and Today album cover in 1966.

The Telegraph has a story on several artists who’ve pulled a raw meat Gaga stunt and when the album was created, the Beatles wanted to make a statement about the Vietnam war by posing as butchers with chunks of meat and butchered dolls.

Advanced copies of the album created too much controversy, so the record label’s management ordered a new cover, but many of the originals still remain.

Lady Gaga‘s meat dress for the MTV VMAs not only looked disgusting, but smell the part too.

The dress, designed by Franc Fernandez, was designed from REAL raw meat cuts from a local butcher (hey, hey, should we at least give him credit for not making it travel and using more emissions?). Gaga may be hot, but she’s not warm enough to cook meat, and as you may suspect, the raw dead flesh began to smell almost instantly, much to Eminem‘s displeasure.

The rapper refused to sit by Gaga and a source told The Mirror, “Marshall said he didn’t want to be sat next to a pile of raw meat all night. He said it smelled pretty bad.”

Now that Jason Mraz doesn’t always eat vegan, he’s labeling himself with an entirely different phrase referring to the type of food he purchases and eats.

“I’m mostly a vegan because I don’t prefer dairy or cheeses, but I think of myself more as a qualitarian,” he said. “I don’t eat anything with more than three ingredients.”

One definition of qualitarian is someone who eats foods of the highest quality that will benefit both humans and the environment the most.

If you can’t bring yourself to label your eating habits as strictly vegetarian, there are multiple green labels popping up, as Long Island Press states, that can help you describe your consumption.

Like a vegeprefarian. From Long Island Press:

“Someone who is for the most part a vegetarian, but won’t refuse a bit of meat now and then. They might also opt for certain meals without meat.”

Morrissey has sparked controversy again, this time being accused of making racially inappropriate statements describing Chinese treatment of animals in circuses and zoos.

During an interview with Simon Armitage, Morrissey said, “Did you see the thing on the news about their treatment of animals and animal welfare? Absolutely horrific. You can’t help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies.”

A spokesperson for Love Music Hate Racism called Morrissey’s statements “just crude racism” and wants the singer to rescind his comments.

“When you start using language like ‘subspecies’, you are entering into dark and murky water,” Martin Smith from Love Music said.

Michael Bolton may be filling on up whole wheat pasta and wheatballs in preparation for each performance on Dancing with the Stars.

The singer who released the album “One World One Love” earlier this year is one of the competitors on the reality TV dancing show.

Paul McCartney has become the latest celebrity to reach out to NASA, urging the agency not to use monkeys in radiation experiments to determine its effect on humans.

“I believe NASA has the ingenuity to investigate the health effects of space travel without confining and experimenting on animals as was done in the old days,” McCartney wrote, reports Gigwise.

“It would be terribly disappointing if in our zeal to explore new frontiers and to learn about the fascinating universe where we live we began to regress in our treatment of the animals with whom we share this planet.”

Earlier this summer HLN journalist, Jane Velez-Mitchell hosted an ex NASA employee who quit her job in development after learning about the experiments that the European Space Agency has no interest in.

NASA has used monkeys before to test the effects of space travel on the human body.

Vegetarians need a symbol. Sure, you might find a circled “V” on food products meaning they’re veggie or vegan, but we need an official law which will denote items as lacto-ovo, vegan and so forth. Being vegetarian means you stand for a lot of things. Essentially, it’s the symbol good health, good food, animal rights and a healthy environment. Speaking of symbols, they’re are some darn hot celebrities associated with them.

Kesha‘s (K$sha) got a symbol in her name. Prince used to be a symbol. Between the two vegetarians, who would you rather…
