 John Feldmann, also known as “Feldy,” of the band, Goldfinger, is an outspoken vegan and animal rights activist. In fact, he may have been too outspoken for the FBI once, as they raided his home on suspicions of his role with an incident involving Animal Liberation Front, an animal rights group known for making statements in a radical fashion. He later sued for them putting his home in disarray and snatching his possessions and won.

When he throws parties, they’re big. To the sum of 110 guest or more. Did we forget to mention most of the guests are lobsters?

“We’ve done a couple lobster liberations; one in Hawaii, two in Boston, and one in Maine. I saw a tank of lobsters and I said, “I could do something about this right now.” We took all the lobsters and put them back in the ocean. Because of shock, I’m sure a lot of them died. Even if only one or two of them lived, it’s a better chance of survival than in the tank at the grocery store. I saw the lobsters in there and what could I do?”

He should have just brought a cooler and made the shake Andy Hurley recommends.

Fall Out Boys Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump decided to have lunch with editor-in-chief of Blender magazine Joe Levy. It took them a long time to make up their minds, but in the end, they chose Keens Steakhouse where Stump ended up getting completely cheated on a good meal. He’s vegetarian so he had to eat a salad.

Stump didn’t mention it before the two grabbed some grub. Maybe he didn’t want to sound like a pain. Here’s the thing, though. They all ate salads. There have been rumors of Wentz being an on again off again vegetarian, but it doesn’t appear that Levy is. Maybe they were trying to be polite?

One thing’s certain: Out of all the places in New York to eat, there were definitely better options where both carnivores and a veg rocker could agree upon than a steakhouse serving rabbit leaves.

Looks like everyone, including Stump, got stiffed!

Love makes you do a lot of things. Tommy Lee tried to do tofu for Pam, but in the end, he couldn’t control his roving eyes for burgers.

The latest carnivore to be struck by the herbivore love bug is Nancy Shevell, girlfriend of Paul McCartney. Apparently, she is trying to change a few of her ways to make him happier, including abstaining from meat and toning down her “super Republican views.”

A known lover of crocodile-skin bags, she reportedly lived off avocado sandwiches and tomato soup while traveling with Paul and loves to order off the veggie menu now.

Awesome for Shevell. Wonder what her favorite non-meat dish is? One thing is for sure: She’s a smart gal who won’t let another woman, like Mary the little lamb, get in the way of her and her man.

Weird Al Yankovic is a vegetarian. No, really. He definitely makes tofu very white and nerdy.

The performer who is known for his parodies was once asked by Paul McCartney when he was going to make fun of him. That’s right. McCartney wondered when one of his songs would be remade by Yankovic.

A little later, Yankovic, a vegetarian, asked Paul for permission to use the song, “Live and Let Die,” for a song called, “Chicken Pot Pie.” Paul said no, because it dealt with eating meat, but Yankovic used it anyway because apparently he didn’t need Paul’s permission after all, he was just trying to be nice.

When we were young, Bernie’s Deli was down the block
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
He made a great liver pate
(You know he did, you know he did, you know he did)
But if there’s one thing in this world that I like better
Than a corned beef on rye

It’s Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie

[chorus of chicken-cluck imitations]

“Chicken Pot Pie,” by the strange man who turned vegan after a fan gave him the book, “Diet For A New America,” by John Robbins.

Several celebrities made an appearance at a fundraiser for Prop 2— a California state ballot measure that would outlaw confining crates and cages used in the factory farming of hens, veal calves and pregnant pigs. The measure is sponsored by the Humane Society of the U.S., Farm Sanctuary and other animal welfare groups.

Moby showed up to perform and Tobey Maguire put his two cents in as well.

“To me, it’s a no-brainer,” Maguire said. “I’m a near-vegan. I eat like a vegan.”

Ellen DeGeneres and her new wife Portia de Rossi were supporters as well, Ellen emphasizing that the move isn’t about taking care of animals, “It’s just making things a little better for them.” If you remember, the two of them provided their wedding guest with a completely vegan feast, including vegan red velvet cake.

A vegan restaurant in downtown Portland is closing because the owner feels there’s too much crime in the area. After listening to some of the stories, well…we can’t say we disagree.

Sex offenders beating people up, drug dealers dividing their “goodies” (which were probably vegan but still illegal) on tables outside the restaurant, repeated robberies, harassment consisting of salami being left at the doorstep, and screaming meth addicts walking past is more than enough for anyone to say, “Let’s take this vegan shop elsewhere.”

The Veganopolis has been a favorite for Portland vegheads since 2005 and many celebrities have stopped by including Chrissie Hynde, Smashing Pumpkins, and Joan Jett.

Interestingly enough, Chrissie Hynde has discussed the fact that her vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean is located in a not so Brady Bunch part of Akron, Ohio, and she has expressed extreme interest in helping to revitalize her hometown.

Veganopolis sold 14,008 spelt chocolate chip cookies, 7970 veganopolis rubens, 5645 roasted eggplant salads, and 5952 democracy (veggie) burgers.

Although it’s sad to see this veg restaurant couldn’t make it, we give hats off to other efforts that are being made to bring better options, food and otherwise, into every neighborhood.
