Vegetarian Star

Kate Moss is a year older. And according to all the reports on the net, she had a block party like no other this weekend.

The 35 year old who celebrated with some pals found uninvited police guests at her doorstep twice in one night after neighbors complained about the noise.

But what’s worse than a loud party keeping you up at night? Attending a party with a deer head on the wall!

Poor Stella McCartney and the rest of Kate’s veggie friends had a rough night, being surrounded by furry (dead) stuffed animals in Kate’s mansion, according to the UK Mirror.

In addition, Stella had to walk over various fur rugs scattered across the floor.

To top it off, Kate served roasted suckling pig.

Kate once said in an interview that she was a vegetarian for six months, then quit.

PETA UK, send this chick a veg re-starter kit!

Dennis Palumbo at the Huffington Post has blogged about how secrets are often uncovered in the lives of famous people posthumously.

There will always be the affairs, drug use, and what “really went on behind closed doors,” but who would have thought a group of vegetarian doctors would go and make a “tell all” case about the private health of a doctor who advocated a heavily meat based diet.

Dr. Atkins was famous for promoting a high protein, low carbohydrate, and mostly meat diet for weight loss and maintenance, but his health around time of death showed a pattern that suggested he died from more than natural causes.

Atkins’ health records were accidentally released to a Nebraskan physician, who passed them along to the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine who graciously used his history of high blood pressure and heart disease to publicly discredit his diet.

Stephen Colbert thought it would be fun to satirized PETA’s Save The Sea Kittens Campaign, and gave a “Tip of the Hat” piece of advice to the animal rights group. 

“Save The Sea Kittens” is designed to get people to stop eating seafood by making fish seem as cute, adorable, and intelligent as cats.

Colbert admits that normally he’s not a fan of PETA because if “scientists can’t squirt shampoo into a rabbit’s eyes, then how would I know what shampoo to squirt into my rabbit’s eyes,” he sarcastically said.

Stephen decides to rename other animals with vegetarian names so that they’ll seem more acceptable to eat, including calling cats “landfish,” cows “field potatoes,” and owls “sky nachos.”

The “Tip of the Hat” starts after a minute and a half into the video.

Safe to say he’s not buying into the campaign. Bet Jeremy Piven is, though.

Many of us are pinching pennies in the recession and the contestants of Celebrity Big Brother 6  are no exception.

The group, which includes notables like La Toya Jackson and Verne Troyer, were recently faced with buying groceries on a reduced budget and were arguing over what foods should be put on the shopping list.

Ulrika Jonsson suggested talking La Toya into compromising and eating some tuna and salmon because it’s cheaper.

Troyer protests that La Toya isn’t trying to be difficult in her eating choices, but that she’s vegetarian and they shouldn’t force her to eat meat.

Apparently, she’s been doing it anyway.

Jonsson later told other house mates that “Verne was so quick to stand up for La Toya and make the point that she is a vegetarian, has a strict diet and needs her salmon,” she said.

“But, well, vegetarians aren’t supposed to eat fish in the first place, and La Toya even ate turkey mince yesterday.”

You’d think that La Toya could have the rules bent and bring in her own food in order to stick with her diet.

But as we learned with the Amazing Race, Reality TV ain’t always pretty to those who aren’t omnivores.

If Jeremy Piven had been following Morrissey’s Sea Food Is Sea Life philosophy, he might not be in this predicament.

The Entourage actor was forced to go on sick leave from the Broadway production Speed The Plow last month because he had been diagnosed with mercury poisoning.

Doctors found elevated-as much as five times the amount of a normal person-levels of the element in his blood. Mercury poison is a serious condition that, if left untreated, can cause heart and kidney failure, cognitive problems, and even death.

So does Jeremy have a secret thermometer munching vice? No, he just eats too much fish, which often contains levels of Mercury that could cause problems if eaten too often.

Turns out, Mr. Piven eats a hell of a lot of fish cause he’s a pescetarian-or fish eating vegetarian. Who would’ve thought!

According to Fox News, Piven said that, “years of being a fish eating vegetarian was enough to do the trick and act as a catalyst.”

“And especially, especially, don`t f*ck with vegans. Do not look vegans in the eye. If you get into an argument with a vegan, say “I`m wrong”, and run away as fast as you can. Do not f*ck with vegans because they will f*ck you up… BECAUSE THEY`RE HUNGRY.”

Ha, haaaaa, Cho! Looks like Margaret thinks vegans are starving themselves, eating only sprouts and drinking  juice all day.

Someone send her the top veggie restaurant list, will ya. Let her know what’s really on our plates. And tell her we’re not hungry. She’ll believe it. Then run away from you really fast.

Chrissie Hynde doubted there was good vegan/vegetarian food in jail and she just may be right. Guitarist Ira Black of heavy metal band Lizzy Borden has been jailed for failing to pay a fine and now is on a hunger strike because he says the correction facility has no vegan or vegetarian food, according to Classic Rock Magazine. 

“Ira has been a vegan for 15 years and it seems none of the local correctional facilities will accommodate any inmate with a vegetarian or vegan diet,” his fiancee said. “They will give inmates with medical problems or religious beliefs a different meal, but there is no concern for the vegetarians/vegans. He feels very strongly about this and has gone on a ‘hunger strike’ until his release later this month to show how serious this should be taken. The situation has been escalating hour by hour.”

“If I can just get the word out so that people will start calling the jail, there can be some changes made,” Black said.

“I want people to know how legitimate and sincere veganism and vegetarianism is and this is a serious human-rights issue, I’m not just trying to manipulate the system.”

He said his requests have been responded to with punishments and threats, such as making him remove the “Hunger Strike” sign around his neck and the deputies telling him to “just go with the system.”

After Ellen

On a recent Top Chef Elimination Challenge, the chefs had it easy-serve up whatever you want that best showcases your talent.

Contestant Carla really wanted to serve a vegetarian dish, but thought not having a protein would make her lose points.

Maybe it’s time for Carla to take a basic nutrition course as well as cooking classes. Although the judges might not be tofu and tempeh fans, there are plenty of plant based proteins that would have made her dish shine like beans, lentils, or whole grain pasta. If vegan was good enough for the Foo Fighters, it most certainly would have impressed the judges that day.

But she settled for tossing scallops into a mint risotto.

This was double elimination night, so Carla, Melissa, and Eugene were put on the front line and Carla was rescued for another week. Saved by the scallop? Nah, she could have shined otherwise.
