Vegetarian Star

Professional motocross racer Adam Jones played the role of smart-aleck recently.

The History Channel is hosting Armageddon week and Ryan Leyba at ESPN wanted to get Jones’ opinion on how the world will come to an end.

Leyba: I’d like to think that it’s going to rain hot dogs, pizza and candy and everyone is going to eat themselves to death.

Jones: Well if hot dogs, pizza and candy fell from the sky the only way the world would end is if we had a massive celebration until we ate so much pizza and hot dogs our hearts stopped beating.

Of course then some vegan burgers would also have to fall from the sky to kill all our non-carnivorous friends.

Not sure if Adam thinks gorging on vegan burgers produces the same health effect as the real thing or not. Maybe he just thinks they’ll fall from the sky and knock us on the head. 

If given the choice between death by heart failure from hot dogs or vegan burgers knocking you out cold, a vegan burger asteroid has got to be the better option. It’s quick, painless, and you’ll never know what hit you.

It doesn’t matter anyway, because according to Jones, Joaquin Phoenix and Mel Gibson, who would normally be around to save us, will be absent and the aliens will eat us.

All the more reason to be killed by a falling vegan burger. We hear cannibalistic death is horrible.

Holly Won’t, The Oversneer, and Simon Scowl at Deceiver would have a ball with this one.

Remember Lake Bell, the actress we recently discovered was vegan? She talked about how she was in charge of vegan sweets during the holidays with her family and she went to Baby Cheeks, Sweetie Buns, Baby Cakes bakery in NY for all her vegan goodies?

We did some research in the archives and discovered she has a fish problem, or at least she had one last year at a party for her childhood friend Lyn Devon’s fashion show.

New York Mag caught up with her and asked her why the heck she was eating a salmon hors d’oeuvre if she was a vegan.

“It’s okay, I already came out about my fish-eating-ness to my closest vegan friend, Alicia Silverstone, and she already approves,” Bell said.

Okaaaaay.

Don’t know what the heck that means. Is Alicia Silverstone the vegan confession priest to whom all vegan sinners must go through? It’s hard to imagine Silverstone saying she would approve of such behavior, given the fact that she’s a huge public vegan, both getting naked herself and egging other people on to get naked for the cause.

The last thing we need is another Gwyneth Paltrow who’s “pretty much vegetarian,” who pretty much has confessed her turkey eatingness to everyone but Silverstone. Is Lake Bell full of bellshit? Chime in let us know what you think.

Update: Some sources say he locked his keys in his car in a Wendy’s Parking Lot and gave into a chicken sandwich. Some say Dairy Queen. If anyone can verify the exact meat wh*re he solicited that night, we’d like to set the record straight. Currently, there are no financial prizes, but you’ll be rewarded with pride and joy. 

Joe Trohman, lead guitarist for the musical group Fall Out Boy, isn’t a vegetarian or vegan like bandmates Andy Hurley and Patrick Stump.

But there was a time.

He is often quoted as saying he used to be vegetarian. Then one day he found himself in a Dairy Queen parking lot. The rest is carnivore history.

He sure could use an Andy Hurley shake.

Where is Tim Gunn and his anti-fur video when you need him?

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld recently defended the use of fur in the industry.

“In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish,” he told The Telegraph.

Although he doesn’t personally wear fur, he insists that people make a living from hunting and “killing those beasts who would kill us if they could.”

Lagerfeld’s statements might make sense if we all lived in caveman days. But someone should inform him that fur today is produced in factories and much of it comes from countries with no ethical standards whatsoever as to how the animals are treated.

It’s a pretty sure thing that today’s Hollywood starlets aren’t thinking, “Darn it, that fox is going to eat me. Make me a coat, quick!” Not to mention how ferocious the 4 lb. mink are.

He agrees that animals should be killed “nicely” as much as possible and admits he’s a wuss when it comes to eating them.

“I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive,” he said.

The last time we checked, fur looks the same on or off the original live animal.

It has been suggested that celebrity chef Nigella Lawson stick to cooking and leave the humor to someone else.

On BBC1 radio’s The One Show, she made a comment that angered many animal rights activist, saying that going into a store and buying a fur coat is a “moment of weakness,” but “if I could go out into the woods and kill a bear myself, I would then wear it proudly as a trophy.”

Is this Sarah Palin of the UK?

The interviewer, Andrian Chiles asked her, “For celebrities who do wear fur, if they started skinning little dogs and strapping those on their backs, would they feel any differently?” Lawson then replied, “I’d love a dog or a cat.”

Her spokesperson later explained that the comment was meant to be a joke, but oh, how others don’t share the same sense of humor.

Viva! deputy director, Justin Kerswell:

“Nigella should stick to making double entendres about puddings. Most fur comes from animals farmed in appalling conditions. Much of it from China where there are no animal welfare laws and horrific cruelty is an everyday occurrence.”

A spokesman for Respect for Animals, an organization which campaigns against the fur trade:

“Her comments were callous and lacked any human decency. It was an astonishing thing to say on live television. If she could see the way in which bears and other animals are killed in the wild, she wouldn’t have been so flippant.”

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals:

“Nigella’s comments were ill-judged and show her in an unattractive light.”

We are starting to get the point.

Finally,  her spokesperson cleared things up:

”She was pointing out that, if you are a meat eater, you need to know where your food is from and the same goes for what people wear.”

Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins upset quite a few anti-fur protesters recently when she agreed to perform at the opening of a Harrods sale.

Yes, Harrods, the same department store Leona Lewis refused to sing at because the store sells fur and Leona is a staunch vegetarian.

But wait, so is Katherine Jenkins.

“I was very excited to join the sales,” Jenkins said. “I am a girl’s girl, so obviously this is my idea of fun. Personally, I do not eat meat or wear fur, but people are entitled to their opinions.”

Or perhaps she was very excited to join the sales money. Lewis’ offer to open a previous Harrods sale was worth over a million dollars. It’s not known what Jenkins was payed for her performance.

Jenkins was also quoted as saying she vowed not to let the animal rights protesters “dampen everyone’s fun,” which most certainly didn’t win her any more points with the anti-fur group.

“If people choose to buy fur items that is their prerogative. She was simply opening a sale at a store that sells fur items,” a spokesperson for Jenkins said.

According to John Wilson, member of the Coalition to Abolish Fur Trade, Harrods is the only major department store in the UK to sell imported fur, much of which comes from China where animals are housed in deplorable conditions and rabbits are often skinned alive.

Eric Clapton is not a social butterfly. But when he shoots a butterfly, or other creatures perched in trees or roaming on the ground, he gets the boost of what Chardonnay does for the shy and what doctors claim Paxil does for the socially phobic.

“I’m not really that gregarious,” he said, according to Contact Music. “And shooting with groups of people up and down the country has taught me a lot about how to get on with my fellow human beings.”

Unless you shoot with on his way out of office Vice President Dick Cheney. Then, you’re taught a lot about how many different places a bullet can lodge in the body without causing permanent damage.

This is starting to make Pamela Anderson sound like a doctorate candidate now, with her theory that men shoot because there’s something wrong with their own equipment. You can probably guess she was talking about a different gun, but still the elements are there.

Clapton can’t get it on socially, so he hunts for fun to feel good, thus turning him into the life of the backwoods party.

There are a plethora of other activities to help bond with humans, like a nature walk without the shoot ups, an afternoon of watching sports, or even a night at the, ahem, “gentleman’s club.”

But for Clapton, who also co-owns a hunting and fishing supply store, it’s unfortunate he can only get his game on by targeting other game.

Shortly after the Madonna-Guy Ritchie split, we learned that Madge set forth some pretty strict rules about what the children could and could not do while visiting Guy, including only eating organic, vegetarian, macrobiotic food.

Now Guy is paying her back, but it might be the children who are suffering in the process.

As part of the deal for getting to crash at Guy’s UK mansion he previously banned her from, she must behave-no temper tantrums or bullying the staff. Fair enough. But she also must allow the children to eat a “traditional” Christmas dinner of ham and turkey!

For a parent who’s been insisting on organic, vegetarian food, this has to be her worst nightmare. Not to mention the possible physical reactions that might happen to the children when eating greasy pig and bird after months of eating wholesome, organic vegetarian food.

Not to worry, though. Madonna is already planning her next move. As soon as she arrived in the UK, a source said the first thing she did was met with her divorce lawyer.

It’s probably safe to say this Christmas dinner deal will be annulled by next year.
