Vegetarian Star

Travis McCoy gave a Twitter update, where he gave props to one of his favorite vegetarian restaurants. It would have been nice if he had Tweeted what he ate.

“At my favorite veggie restaurant in NYC, CURLY’s gettin it IN.”

After looking at the menu, our vote is for quesadilla…or…who knows?

Curly’s has all the diner style food a laid back ordinary guy could ask for-but in vegetarian and vegan versions.

An extensive breakfast collection that includes pancakes and granola, an entire menu section devoted to “burger” and fries, as well as veg sandwiches like sloppy joes, “Suna Melt” (fake tuna) and “TLT” (tofu bacon, lettuce, and tomato).

If we were there right now, we’d be gettin’ it too!

Earlier we brought you the news that Teany, the cafe and restaurant Moby co-founded with ex girlfriend Kelly Tisdale, was badly damaged by a fire.

At the time, Moby wasn’t sure what Kelly’s plans were for re-building, but now it looks as though Teany may be up and running in a couple of months.

On his online journal, Moby gave this update:

“teany burned up the other day, but apparently kelly is working hard to repair it and get it re-opened. so there’s a good chance that teany will re-open at some point in the next month or two. i will put news here on moby.com as i find out about it.”

Update: Alas, Teany will rise again! See link.

Teany Cafe, a tea and vegan food shop in New York founded by Moby and his then girlfriend Kelly Tisdale, experienced a fire this weekend.

Although no one was hurt, the store was destroyed, and it’s not sure whether or not Kelly will rebuild and reopen.

On his Myspace, Moby blogged:

“I believe that teany the cafe might, alas, be no more.”

“Yesterday there was a fire (no one was hurt, as far as I know), and teany was destroyed.”

“I need to ask kelly if she’s going to re-build it, and as soon as she says ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ I’ll let you know.”

“I’m really glad no one was hurt, and if anyone has pictures of teany post-fire I’d love to see them (as I’m in germany as I write this, and can’t go round to see the damage).”

Teany started off as both a tea and food shop when Kelly and Moby opened it.  Later, Teany became more of a hub for tea when Kelly took over most of the business decisions, although it still had a variety of vegan entrees on the menu.

Moby once remarked that Teany was so great because meat eaters were just as happy with the faux selections as vegetarians.

Gabe Saporta was a contender in PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity contest, but, as we told you earlier, lost to Milo Ventimiglia.

Gabe’s a good sport about it, but is wondering if mom will be disappointed.

On a recent Twitter entry, he wrote @GabrielSaporta:

“i can’t believe i lost sexiest veggie 3 years in a row! what a horrible disappointment. what ever will i tell my mom?”

We’re sure mom is proud of her son, the lead singer in Cobra Starship. After all, you don’t have to be voted the sexiest vegetarian to be an awesome vegetarian citizen.

Gabe’s done his part to stand up for animals, including posing in an anti-fur ad with this cute little bunny.

Mom’s probably got dozens of those posters plastered on the walls at home. And mini ones for the refrigerator.

Rest assured, Gabe. Mom will still love you. And so will your fans.

Moby recently sat down and interviewed himself.

Yes, you read right. In a hilarious interview, cool video technique combines with Moby’s strange sense of humor, allowing the singer and musician to take on two different personas, one that mocks and ridicules him while asking questions.

“So while we’re here, you got any of that self-righteous vegan crap you want to talk about?” asked Moby’s alter ego, who sports a backwards cap.

“Well, it’s not self-righteous,” Moby answers. “At least, I hope it’s not self-righteous. I’ve been a vegan now for 22 years.”

“Boooring,” sighs alter ego Moby.

“If other people choose to eat meat or dairy products, that’s their choice. I don’t really want to judge them. I hope I’m not being too self-righteous.”

Alter ego Moby says he really wishes Eminem had kicked Moby’s ass at the MTV awards and asks how it feels to be the least attractive musician in the business.

Man, alter egos can be brutal!

“If I point my finger at someone, saying, “You should be a vegetarian,” they’re just going to get annoyed…There is definitely a risk [of] alienating people. Maybe one day a week, consider what you are doing. We’re saying, do this for your personal health and in the process you help animals and you help the environment.”

—-musician Moby, at the Meat Free Monday campaign launch. Celebrity attendees included Paul McCartney and his daughters Stella and Mary, Yoko Ono, and Kelly Osbourne.

Oooh, how long has it been since you had some Loveshack?

The song, that is, by Fred Schneider and his B-52’s gang. The band that’s been around since the 80s is nowhere near retiring yet, and although Fred’s still singing “Rock Lobster,” he’s not eating any.

The world of touring isn’t nearly as difficult to a vegetarian musician as it was when the band first broke out.

“I eat dairy and eggs, so it’s not as hard as it used to be. America’s finally come to some of its senses.”

The band is currently performing songs live from their most recent album, Funplex.

Fred took German in high school, so if the band decides to do an overseas tour in that part of Europe, language shouldn’t be a barrier to getting good food either.

“Now I can say ‘I don’t eat meat’ and stuff like that in German.”

Wir essen keine Fleisch either!

Oh, yeah. Google Translate does us well!
