Mya heads to STK for dinner and then to Coco de Ville to perform her new single

Singer Mya lost 11 pounds after going vegetarian to slim down for Dancing With The Stars.

She’s one of the four celebrities still left on Dancing, but she’s abandoned the practices that got her so healthy and up to par for the competition.

“I am eating more protein now – I used to be a vegetarian!” she told OK! magazine.

Mya claims she’s craving carbohydrates and proteins–and that her meat-free diet was leaving her hanging.

“So I’m eating lots of chicken and beef. I splurge on carbs like mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, rice and gravy, bagels – the list goes on!”

This may make us not vote for Lady Marmalade.

You want carbs, Mya?

We’ve got your carbs!

Complex ones like whole grain pasta, oatmeal, bagels, and lentils.

And if you’re missing your chicken and beef, Chef Tal Ronnen would love to introduce you to the wonderful world of Gardein faux meats he uses so frequently in his cookbook, The Conscious Cook.

Mya may still dance like a 9, but we’re giving her diet performance a 6 today.

Around Smashbox Studios - MBFW Fall 2008 - Day 3

Loni Love is a comedian and actress who frequently appears on Chelsea Handler‘s show, Chelsea Lately, during The Roundtable, which is a segment that discusses events going on in pop culture.

Recently, the conversation at The Roundtable turned to making a joke about someone eating a pig that was a pet and Loni said, “The nice thing about having a pig as a pet is that when it gets older, you can have bacon.”

Um, no.

What person in their right mind could eat something that has intelligence beyond that of a three year old that they’ve reared and cared for?

We think Chelsea said it best when she jokingly responded she could never raise a pig and eat it because she had “too much respect for Miss Piggy.”

Michelle Obama appeared on The Jay Leno Show and revealed the first pup, Bo, feasted on a doghouse shaped cake made of veal.

Ugh!

And you thought it couldn’t get any worse after the Obamas turned down the opportunity for a shelter dog.

We can’t think of a more unhappier celebration than a cake made from animals that are taken away from their mothers at birth and confined in small crates where they can’t move around.

It’s an industry so cruel, even some meat eaters swear off baby animals.

For a cruelty-free celebration with your pup, visit v-dogfood.com.

Thanks to Rick for the tip!

14th Annual Critics Choice Awards

Brothers and Sisters star Sarah Jane Morris tries to live a green life, but admits there’s one eco sin she can’t stop committing.

“My biggest eco-sin is probably the fact that I’m not a vegetarian,” Morris said, according to celebrity-babies.com.

“We do try to have “Meatless Monday” where my husband and I eat vegetarian all day, but since I’ve been pregnant, I’m ashamed to say, that rule has sort of gone out the window!”

“I know that raising livestock is one of the worst things for our environment, but I think the problem isn’t that we eat meat, it’s that we eat so much.”

“A steak used to be considered a luxury, something you had for special occasions, now, in America especially, you can get meat for so cheap that people almost expect it at every meal.”

“We don’t need to eat that much meat, and in fact we’d all be healthier if we didn’t.”

“That being said, I love bacon and filets, and all that good stuff, I just try to think of it as a luxury more than a necessity.”

At least Sarah’s honest, not pretending that all the Priuses she could own and recycling in the world isn’t nearly as beneficial on the earth compared to switching to a plant based diet.

Sarah is expecting a baby boy in January.

For twenty years The Simpsons have been doing special Halloween episodes full of bizarre humor you’ve come to love.

This year featured the citizens of Springfield inflicted with a mad cow type disease after eating the Krusty the Clown hamburger called Burger Squared.

They should have known better than to take something from Krusty.

Burger Squared is produced by “starting with Grade A beef, feeding it to other cows and then serving the unholy results on a seven grain bun.”

Most everyone in town eats the burgers and turns into zombies, leaving The Simpsons and a few vegetarians like Apu running for their lives.

When Lisa asks Apu how he survived, he answers, “Well, as a vegetarian, I did not consume any tainted meat and as a convenience store owner, I am armed to the teeth.”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy and Apu perished after all.

Watch the clip to see how.

Los Premios MTV 2009 - Show

Morrissey is the kind of vegetarian that will fire an employee for biting on a fish sandwich.

So it’s ironic that a ticket sold for one of his upcoming shows comes with a coupon for a free burger, as was discovered and Tweeted by former Reno 911 star Thomas Lennon.

“No joke. My Morrissey Ticketmaster print out tickets come with a COUPON FOR A DENNY’S HAMBURGER. Classy, Ticketmaster,” Lennon Tweeted, supplying the photgraphic evidence here.

Of you didn't believe me -- a death for no reason: on Twitpic

The ticket was purchased for Morrissey’s Dec. 10 performance at the Gibson Amphitheatre.

In defense, Denny’s issued a statement about their veg friendliness including a recent Boca Burger burrito addition to the menu.

“We <3 Moz & vegetarian friends,” they wrote.

Like almost mother-in-law like son.

Levi Johnston, the ex and baby daddy of 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin‘s daughter Bristol Palin‘s child, has just admitted to gobbling up Morris.

To bring sexy back for his upcoming nude photos for Playgirl (yes, we know you’re running to the stands right now), Levi has been eating lots of meat, specifically Moose meat.

“Moose meat is very good for you, high in protein and very lean,” says Levi’s trainer, Marvin Jones. “He’s an avid hunter, so he has his own.”

What Marvin the trainer doesn’t know is that there are plenty of athletes that get bulky, ripped and ready to go on a vegetarian and even vegan diet.

Moose meat may only let Levi sit naked (or is it nekkid in Alaska) in front of the camera, but the complete protein of soy and high protein plant foods like tempeh could give him the strength and endurance of a triathlete like Brandon Brazier.

Boo to moose meat.

Boo to meaty diets as an attempt to look athletic.

We’ll wait for the centerfold to come out before we boo Levi’s body.

Guy Fieri: Bacon-The Other White Vegetable

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 12th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

Barnstable Brown Party Celebrating The 135th Kentucky Derby

Poor Guy Fieri is so repressed from his parents forcing him to eat a vegetarian, macrobiotic diet as a child that now he’s projecting his desires onto all vegetarians.

“I can have bacon on anything,” Fieri said. “I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like bacon unless they’re a vegetarian. And I think even vegetarians, quietly, inside, wish they could.”

Speak for yourself Guy.

Any vegetarian knows they can get their faux pork on with imitation bacon like Lightlife Smart Bacon or Tempeh Bacon from the same company.

What’s worse, he’s trying to insult vegetables by making bacon one of them.

“Could bacon be the other vegetable?” Fieri asked. “The other white vegetable?”

“I like bacon on a stick, I like bacon in the morning. I’ve seen bacon ice cream.”

That’s more than enough bacon to make us turn off The Food Network channel for a month.
