Someone at L Magazine swears by the seitan Moby was at New York restaurant Angelica Kitchen recently.

In between vegan snacks, the musician took to his blog to announce his return to NYC and write about his upcoming book, Gristle.

The book is a collection of writings by various  experts in their respective  fields on effects of meat production on animals, workers in the industry, human health and the environment.

“I’ll be travelling around promoting a bit. and, of course, neither Miyun or I are making a penny from the book, with all proceeds going to animal organizations.”

Hope Oprah adds this to her book club.

John Joseph, punk rock singer best known for his work with the Cro-Mags, is training for a triathlon in his late 40s.

If you’re wondering how this is physically possible, you might ask him about his diet, which is mostly raw and filled with plant based proteins.

Then again, it may those supplements he’s creating with a internationally known nutritionist, Dr. Fred Biscie.

All this is accomplished while John has worked on a new book about how the wrong diet and lifestyle choices will eventually make you a “pussy.”

The vegetarian of 30 years said of the upcoming book, Meat Is For Pussies:

“The new book’s title is a play on words. Everyone thinks that I’m calling you a pussy if you eat meat. That’s not what the title is suggesting. What I say in the foreword is that if you continue to leading a sedentary lifestyle, sitting in front of the TV, getting no exercise, eating poisonous foods, you will become a pussy that is dependent on the pharmaceutical companies. If that’s what you want, right on, don’t buy my book. If you want to know what’s really going on, then I suggest you pick it up.”

Fair enough.

John says about half of his diet is raw and he’s not a fan of GMOs.

Christofer Ingle of Never Shout Never told Artists Direct how the song “Jane Doe” from the band’s latest album, What Is Love was created.

“I was actually sitting in a Santa Monica restaurant, eating with one of my buddies. There was this beautiful waitress, and I didn’t know her name but she served me an awesome veggie burger. I was like, “I’m going to write her a song, I’m going to go back and play it for her and I’m going to win her heart.” So I went back to my beach house and then started writing this crazy song about a girl named “Jane Doe” because I didn’t know the waitress’s name yet. I never ended up playing it for her though. It was really sad that I chickened out.”

Sad that Christofer didn’t get the girl, but at least he got a good meal.

Was the waitress really that hot or did the veggie burger serve as an aphrodisiac?

Andrew McMahon, musician for the bands Something’s Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin, tried going veg on his last tour, but that lasted as long as a one hit wonder.

From The Phillyist:

We understand that you went vegetarian on that tour, so we have to ask: Did you have trouble resisting the urge to head to Jim’s for a greasy, diet-busting cheesesteak?

“I guess I break all sorts of promises in Philly. Haha. I’m definitely not a veggie anymore, though I do lean that direction. [But] I’ve never been a red meat dude, so cheesesteaks aren’t really my thing, as sacrilegious as that is to admit to a local.”

Vegetarian Star would love to say what happens in Philly stays in Philly, but unfortunately, it gets published on blogs that like to talk about musicians that give into greasesteaks when no one is looking.

Luckily, Andrew’s flexitarian ways that bend him more towards vegetarianism save him from being completely ribbed.

Andrew and the rest of Jack’s Mannequin will be performing at the Electric Factory in Philly. Tickets are sold out, but if you offer someone in the city a great tasting faux cheesesteak, you might score yourself a seat.

Adam Lambert was interviewed by TMZ (which can be heard here), where he revealed his true feelings (or lack thereof) about animals used for fur.

“I know this is the most un-PC way to put it, but I didn’t kill the thing so I don’t see why I can’t wear it.”

Whoa, there. There are worse phrases than un-PC to describe Mr. Glambert’s attitude.

But wait, there’s more. If you can eat it, might as well wear it.

“It’s like we eat meat, I don’t like cruelty toward animals so anything that can be done to prevent that, but I think fur looks great.”

Note to Adam and everyone else who likes fur but wants to prevent cruelty to animals: Wear a fake!

Meat Loaf and Leona Lewis may have eaten the same meal at the BRIT awards in London.

Sources told The Sun, “Meat is a big eater but ironically he doesn’t eat the stuff.”

Meat Loaf reportedly sent his beef loaf back and asked for a vegetarian option.

“I suppose you could say he’d do anything for grub, but he won’t do that.”

If Meat Loaf, born Marvin Lee Aday, really is a hard core vegetarian and activist, he probably warns his driver to watch out for “objects in the rear view mirror” so that they don’t become roadkill.
