V Festival In Hylands Park
You know he’s never down with burnt flesh at his concerts.

Morrissey recently stopped in the middle of “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others,” during a concert because he couldn’t stand the smell of meat cooking in the venue at the recent Coachella festival.

Guess his earlier attempts to have it banned like Chrissie Hynde does didn’t work out too well.

After he got a whiff of burgers coming from a nearby stand, Morrissey stated, “I can smell burning flesh and I hope to God it’s human.”

When he returned to the stage, he said, “The smell of burning animals is making me sick. I just couldn’t bear it.”

We hear ya man.

He then completed the rest of his set, including his newest song, “I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris.”

Have you ever left a celebration or event because it smelled too meaty? Chime in and let everyone know!

PETA Defends Steakhouse Strippin’ Pamela Anderson

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, April 18th, 2009 in Actresses, Not So Vegetarian.

Pamela Anderson at the Millionaire Fair in Amsterdam


The veg gal Pamela Anderson recently agreed to launch the opening of a strip club. A strip club located in a steakhouse.

While we feel this isn’t the best example a vegetarian should be setting, PETA is defending one of its biggest partners in meatless crime. A statement from the organization:

“Pam is not a host but may be attending as an invited guest, and since steakhouses nowadays have some of the best salad bars and veggie options around, we’re sure she’ll find plenty to eat should she attend.”

Well, sure, a steakhouse always has some vegetables. That’s why they call it “meat and potatoes.”

If she really wants to do some promoting, she’ll champion for a veggie burger on the steakhouse menu.

Richie Rich - Backstage - Fall 09 MBFW

Pamela Anderson, usually one of the best true to their word veg Hollywood stars, occasionally has her flip ups.

Like when she didn’t know KFC, a company she frequently speaks out against, helped sponsor her Girl On the Loose show in Australia.

Or launching a strip club in a steakhouse.

Yes, the vegan Pamela Anderson has joined forces with Audrina Patridge and Samantha Ronson to launch the opening of  Sapphire New York, a Gentleman’s club, which is part of the Prime 333 Steakhouse on the upper East side of New York city.

Other guests on the attendee list include Sopranos cast members Vincent Curatola and Steve Schirripa. 

A strip club steakhouse? Really, Pamela, couldn’t you have found a better venue to attend a launch? How about an all natural juice strip club? Tutti fruity for booty?

Along with serving up blond and brunette meat (just had to say that), the club will feature several fillets and wines.

Giles Coren Has Vegetarian Thinking Disorder

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 13th, 2009 in Journalists, Not So Vegetarian.

A study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association showed that people with eating disorders were more likely to have tried vegetarianism at one point in their life.

British journalist Giles Coren read this and decided to use the study results to support his rant about vegetarians being “pale, boring, vain and flaky” with the title of his article in the UK Times Online reading, “Do a pig a favour! Ban vegetarianism now!”

Yeah, that’ll do pigs a favor.

“Vegetarianism is a cry for help. A sadly transparent attempt to exercise control over your body, which you feel the need to do for psychological reasons of which you are probably unaware.”

“Don’t mind me,” they say when they come to your house for lunch. “I’ll just have the vegetables.” And you think: “It’s immaterial to me what you put in your mouth, darling, because I can tell from the state of you that you’re going to be in my downstairs bog with your fingers down your throat in half an hour, spraying whatever you’ve pecked at all over the Armitage Shanks.”

“Meat tastes good. It carries vitamins and minerals with a unique efficiency that is critical to the maintenance of a healthy life. And it gives pigs, quite literally, a reason to live.”

If you’re looking for more insults, visit timesonline.co.uk.

Regardless of what the study found, doesn’t Coren realize that people with eating disorders will often try dozens of tactics to lose or keep weight off? It makes sense that a vegetarian diet known for keeping its followers slimmer than their cheeseburger eating peers would be on their list of diet “to dos.” 

Coren says, “Vegetarians never love food. They merely tolerate it.”

It’s a safe bet that most vegetarians love food. That’s why it’s so great they can eat more of it, given the fact it’s usually lower in fat and calories. There’s a reason there’s a market for vegan sweets, too. It’s because sometimes apples just don’t cut it for dessert. And there are plenty of vegan gals who can outeat the guys in cheeseless pizza.

Someone call Olivia Wilde and tell her to challenge Giles to a 33 pancake eating contest. Giles will be much too flaky to tolerate it.

Z100s Jingle Ball 2007 - Show

Avril Lavigne has been known to go and make things complicated when it comes to her status as a vegetarian, but this really takes the vegan cake.

In her hometown of Napanee, Ontario in Canada, at La Pizzeria Pizza and Spaghetti House, there’s a pizza named after her. Avril was a regular there, eating lots of slices of mushroom, olive, and pepperoni pizza. Yes, pepperoni.

And although Avril has associated herself with being vegetarian, she still rides the roni when she visits home, according to pizzeria co-owner Bill Kosmopoulos.

“She still has pepperoni on it,” said Bill, referring to the pizza Avril eats when she stops by occasionally. 

This story is sorta reminiscent of vegetarian Alec Baldwin joking around with the New Yorker saying he shot and smoked deer meat and ate it every morning. Only this story sounds true.

“In East Hampton, I’m a nudist and I eat meat,” Baldwin—a vegetarian—had said before my visit, expanding on the idea that he lived a quite different life on Long Island than he did in New York. “I shoot deer with a bow and arrow. I smoke the deer meat and eat it every morning with my eggs and toast. I am a homosexual. I listen to rock music, loud.”

Insert Avril’s name and change a few of the specifics and you get:

“In Napanee, I chow down on the pepperoni and live a quite different life than I do in the states.”

Y-3 - Front Row - Spring 09 MBFW

She may eat veggie burgers from time to time ever since Sandra Oh took the Grey’s Anatomy cast and crew to lunch at Truly Vegan, but Ellen Pompeo insists she’s never becoming vegetarian. And we think the excuse is just plain tipesh.

Pompeo recently told People magazine, “I tried, but I get too skinny, and people think I’m anorexic. It just doesn’t suit my body type.”

“I’m naturally a waif,” she said.

She added that she works out extensively with a trainer three days a week to build muscle.

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen! You’ve been reading the wrong bodybuilding magazines.

We’re betting Brendan Brazier and his peeps at Vega would beg to differ and offer Ellen a nice collection of vegan protein powders and other supplements necessary to be a beefcake without the beef.

At least Ellen loads up on fruits and vegetables and avoid sugars and white flour.

A Powerful Noise Live

The folks at Chef’s Secret on E. 45th Street in New York city have what you call an obsess-much for vegan actress Natalie Portman.

It seems they’ve named a salad after her. But like Emmylou Harris wasn’t too pleased with being told she was like bacon and made everything better, Natalie probably wouldn’t be too thrilled at the “Natalie Portman” salad consisting of “lobster, seaweed and strawberry served with Wasabi and Japanese mayonnaise.”

What on earth is this craziness? You might call it honoring. You might call it disturbing. One thing’s for sure: Any fan of Natalie who loves her enough to name a salad after her should know not to name a SEAFOOD salad after her.

New Yorkers, you may want to stop by and let these guys in on the secret: Natalie’s got no room for lobster love on the menu.

Amber Tamblyn Had Calling For Pork Chops, Bacon

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

God Of Carnage Broadway Opening - Arrivals And Curtain Call

What if God were one of us? Just a slob like one of us? Eating too many pork chops like one of us?

Remember Joan of Arcadia? The television series starring Amber Tamblyn, in which God regularly spoke to a teenage girl in person, sending her on adventures that seemed ridiculous, but in the end served a good purpose?

God took on the form of some pretty interesting people, including janitors and a Goth teenage boy with black lipstick and multiple piercings.

Perhaps to get more in touch with a “purer” side, Tamblyn tried going vegan while filming episodes of Joan. Like Joan of Arcadia, her vegan diet was later cancelled, as well as her vegetarian one.

From USAtoday.com:

“I was vegetarian for about three years. And then I wanted to try to be vegan when I was on Joan of Arcadia. I like pork chops, delicious pork chops! I love bacon. It’s delicious.”

What’s worst is that when the journalist questioned her ordering bacon and eggs during the interview, she rolled her eyes at the mention of reports that she was vegetarian.

We’re betting if Amber walked into the fake meat section of the grocery store, she’d find plenty of pork and bacon substitutes to satisfy her carnal urges.

Perhaps she’d even find a “special” stock boy working there explaining how she can change a life by buying the Lightlife Smart Bacon.
