Vegetarian Star

An MTV show that displays the ups and downs of job hunting premieres Monday May 17th.

MTV Hired will feature several young adults as candidates for jobs in various professions and follow them through interviews, call backs and waiting to hear from the managers.

Who will work on Wall Street? More importantly, who will work on Organic Avenue?

According to the Futon Critic, Organic Avenue is a New York City company that will be featured on the show.

The company’s mission is to provide LOVE (Live, Organic, Vegan, Experience) in every service it offers, which includes detox cleanses, raw food, supplements and education on how to make the transition to a plant based, eco friendly lifestyle.

Jesse Brune can be seen on the Food Network Channel’s Private Chefs of Beverly Hills, where six chefs attempt to please and cater events for the rich and sometimes famous residents in Beverly Hills.

Many times, the requests involve lavish, unusual or unconventional food, so Brune follows the Boy Scout’s motto and is always prepared.

Being prepared means remembering some guests want meat-free, dairy-free or gluten-free, whether they’re “allergic” or not.

“I always make sure I have a vegan or gluten-free backup dish, because there’s always going to be someone allergic to something,” Brune told the Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.  “Usually if people say they’re allergic to something in Beverly Hills, that just means they don’t like it. There’s so much money in Beverly Hills, people have to get creative with their lives. I’m never bored.”

Although Brune attended culinary school and has plenty of experience as a private chef, what’s healthy doesn’t always turn out well, like his attempt to make a cake with organic ingredients.

“I did have one food disaster where I did sort of give up. My best friend’s daughter was turning 2…All she wanted was a Mickey Mouse cake. I attempted to make this cake…First, it was a healthy organic version that looked like crap. Second, there was so much store-bought frosting my stomach turned. I just went and bought a cake.”

Even a pro can mess up a good dessert. Sometimes store-bought frozen vegan cake is really the best option.

Lisa Simpson "The Simpsons"

Last night’s episode of Top Chef Masters had the competing chefs making meals that would please The Simpsons.

As you probably already know, there are two characters that shun meat on the popular cartoon, Lisa Simpson and Apu, and the chefs who cooked for them whipped up delicious sounding vegetarian delights.

The judges included some of The Simpsons’ crew, like creator Matt Groening and Hank Azaria who voices Chief Wiggum and Apu.

Jody made a Cracked Wheat Salad with Goats Milk Ricotta and BBQ beets and baked kale chips for Lisa, which the judges thought she’d love, and Marcus created Tomato Soup with Rice, Chickpeas, Chutney, Melon and Nuts for Apu.

Unfortunately, it was Rick’s shrimp meal for Homer that won.

But hey, Jody and Marcus’ meals sure give you great ideas for dinner!

O'Neal Hampton "The Biggest Loser"

O’Neal Hampton was eliminated from The Biggest Loser last week, but he’s not about to those 150 pounds he lost come back!

The father is still exercising and eating right, which in his opinion means eating organic.

“People say that organic food and healthy food is so much more expensive,” he said, according to Hollywood Outbreak.

“Not for me. The tradeoff was what I was spending in co-payments going to the doctor and then my medication for the 12 pills that I was taking a day I’m now spending in food, which is a lot cheaper than medicine.”

If you need to save money and aren’t sure you want to buy everything organic, don’t forget to refer to the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen,” the list of foods that should always be bought organic due to the high levels of pesticides found on them.

Pamela Anderson won’t be shaking her vegetarian hips to the Salsa anymore on Dancing with the Stars.

The actress and animal rights campaigner was voted off last night, after she and partner Damien Whitewood found themselves in the bottom two for the third time in a row.

Bummer!

Pamela highlighted the very important issue of bullfighting during one of her dances earlier in the season. Contestants were asked to tell a story through their dance and Pamela’s depicted a woman torn because she was in love with a matador even though she disagreed with him killing animals.

Pamela described bullfighting as a “dance with the devil.”

As for her future plans now that she’s put away her heels and DWTS sexy outfits, Pamela told UK Ok!, “I’m doing a lot of things. I’ve got my clothing line; I’ve got my fragrance, my body care, hair care, all this organic crazy stuff I’m doing. But performance wise, I don’t know what I’m doing to do next.”

If you’re interested in making an impression on your guests worthy of a Top Chef Masters trophy, then you might want to listen to Kelly Choi‘s advice.

The host of the show tells everyone at OK! Magazine they should cater to the vegetarians cause not everyone wants to eat flesh at a get together!

“Prepare your protein, but also offer a vegetarian option for everyone, too. Not everyone will want to eat animal, and having this choice is always a good thing.”

This woman must put on a good dinner party!

Besides including tofu fingers and vegan pimento cheese sandwiches, Choi says it’s a good idea to balance the flavors of the taste buds–sweet, salty, and what she calls the “cooling sense”–and this can be done by offering several dips or sauces that represent these.

Vegetarian Star’s suggestion: Vegetarian falafel balls accompanied by cucumber yogurt dressing takes care of both the meatless and the cooling requirement.

Stephanie Pratt is the cover girl for PETA’s new iphone application, Be Nice To Bunnies, that allows you to search for products and companies that do not test on animals.

Besides animal testing, Pratt is also campaigning for pet adoption and wants puppy mills wiped off the face of the Earth.

And it bothers her that she can’t make the jump to being a vegetarian.

“No, it really kills me. I was actually talking about this at dinner last night with people,” Pratt told Pr.com. “I do want to make it clear that I love fashion and I love wearing faux fur, but I will never wear real fur. Any fur I’m wearing, it’s fake.”

Maybe Pratt should get her feet wet with Meatless Mondays, as at least eating less meat will reduce her guilt and carbon footprint.

A meatless bed and breakfast owner came in last in the UK reality TV show Three In A Bed that lets B&B owners stay at others’ inns and then pay what they consider fair price.

Apparently, some of the other B&B owners may have missed their morning meat.

Andrew Blackall, who owns The Lodge at Avebury, is vegetarian and does not serve meat with his breakfasts.

Blackall’s price of £250 (approximately $383 in U.S. dollars) left the other contestants feeling as if they’d be missing their savings and their sausage.

Mr. Blackwell’s place is near the famous Stonehenge, plus you won’t smell the neighbors’ bacon in the morning.

For a traveling vegetarian, you may very well get what you pay for.
