Vegetarian Star

The reports that Kate Gosselin may be doing a talk show have been confirmed, as Kate joined Paula Deen for a pilot taping in NYC recently.

Yes, the Paula Deen, the woman who puts a dairy farm’s worth of butter in her dishes, already laced with animal fat and other touches of “southern cooking.”

The gift giver of 25,000 pounds of ham last Holiday season. Yep, you remember.

If Kate starts cooking like Paula, she’ll have enough cholesterol on hand for every multiple birth mom in the country.

Paula is now targeting your children, with a recent “Cheeseburger Casserole,” one of several “kid friendly” recipes as described by msnbc.msn.com.

With evidence showing the buildup of fatty plaques in the arteries begins in childhood, a cheeseburger casserole filled with beef and cheese isn’t what we’d call “kid friendly.”

But it also serves as an opportunity to show that almost any traditional dish can be made vegetarian.

Substitute the beef for some Boca crumbles. Even pick up your favorite soy and non-dairy cheese if you want to veganize it.

Dancing With The Stars premiers tonight between 8 and 10 PM EST on ABC.

Do you already have your favorite contestant in mind?

There are so many favorites to choose from, like Mya, who went vegetarian to get in shape and lost 11 pounds for the competition.

There’s also Kelly Osbourne, who, although rumored to be a flip flop vegetarian, attended the launch of Paul McCartney‘s Meat-Free Monday campaign to get people to reduce their meat intake.

Then there’s Joanna Krupa, who posed in this popular anti-fur ad.

Last year, a spoof PETA ad was recorded by the DWTS contestants, where some “facts” about the cruelties of the dancing industry were revealed.

Watch the clip below to view.

While we’re on the subject of breed dogs, it breaks our heart to learn that Jon Gosselin is sending his German Shepherd dogs back to the breeder, blaming it on the fact that Kate Gosselin won’t take care of them when he’s not around.

Cause Jon never has time to care for his dogs while partying  it up with bikini girls at the pool.

There are two things wrong with this picture, the obvious being Nala and Shoka came from a breeder to begin with.

But for douchebag, Jon to just shirk his pet owner responsibilities and blame it on the ex?

We’re just not buying it.

What’s worse, Jon made a statement earlier to People.com that indicated the dogs suffered more punishment than having to look at Jon grab his crotch all day long.

“Those kids beat them up, climb on them, pull their tails, bite at them, drag them around and everything you can imagine not to do to an animal, they’ve done.”

Jon later said the statement was taken out of context.

Uh-huh.

Suppose we’ll get a statement later saying it was in the contract for the dogs to return to the breeder.

Kelly Osbourne has recently admitted she’s not the best of eaters.

“I have a terrible diet,” Kelly said, according to showbizspy.com. “Last night, I was eating Domino’s pizza because I had nothing in my fridge and I just got in and I couldn’t be arsed to go to the grocery store.”

We’re wondering if Kelly kept the pepperoni off that pizza.

She’s publicly stated she was a vegetarian in the past, but was then alleged to be seen partaking in turkey during a Thanksgiving feast.

Kelly recently showed her support for Paul McCartney‘s Meat-Free Mondays campaign-aimed to get people to go vegetarian once a week- by attending the launch ceremony.

Kelly can be seen on this season’s Dancing With The Stars, and she credits the show for helping her lose weight.

“Dancing is something that I have always wanted to do and the plus side is that I will lose weight and get super-toned,” she said. “I’m looking forward to that bit.”

Heard any news about Kelly’s diet?

Think she snacked on hummus and pita during her Dancing breaks?

CBS

Reality TV shows have not been kind to vegetarians or vegans.

Amazing Race Terence Gerchberg and the sheep eating challenge.

LaToya Jackson and her vegetarian needs of salmon on Celebrity Big Brother.

John Salley and his rat tail snacks on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

You get the point.

But this season’s Amazing Race has a vegan couple, Eric and Lisa, who will attempt to give reality TV a try without trying frog heads while surviving in the wild.

Eric and Lisa are both yoga instructors, who own four yoga studios between the two of them.

Four studios?

Sounds like these guys get around.

Must be the all that flexibility.

As the Detroit Reality TV examiner says:

“They are both vegans which may give them some trouble if there are any food challenges as there have been in the past.  Would they eat the cuisine of a country if it was an animal?  They both want to “be the best they can be” and plan to work hard to make it through this race.  Will their yoga knowledge help them stay calm cool and collected throughout this game?”

Tune in for the season premier on Sunday September 27 at 8/7c to find out more.

Singer Mya went vegetarian to get in shape for her Dancing With the Stars role and lost 11 pounds, according to US Weekly.

“You have to get your rest, eat properly, rest, focus…it’s challenging,” Mya said, who cited becoming vegetarian as a way to “lighten up” to better shake her hips during the salsa.

“My weight may change after I stuff my face!” she jokes. “My weakness is the pasta and the rice!”

Wouldn’t it be great if the Grammy award winning R & B singer kept to her veg diet even after Dancing with the Stars is over?

She could join the Dancing veg alum club with Cloris Leachman.

Stuffing your face with pasta and rice are completely within our bylaws, Mya!

We told you how wrestling champion and model Torrie Wilson was convinced to go vegetarian after spending some quality time with John Salley in the jungle.

Uh, in the jungle for I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

Always important to explain yourself fully.

Anyway, turns out Torrie is not completely veg-she still eats birds.

But at least she’s dramatically cut a lot of meat from her diet.

From Diva-Dirt.com:

You noted that you’ve become a vegetarian since leaving the jungle, how did that come about?
Torrie: I have become semi-vegetarian. I cut out most meat but do still eat a small amount of turkey and chicken here and there. John Salley taught me a lot about the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle and I took lots of mental notes! I also felt great after not eating meat for 30 days, so I figured something must be right!

Does she realize how great she’ll feel after cutting all meat from her diet?

C’mon Torrie, we know you can do it!

Think of it as a challenge competition to smoke Sanjaya.

Top Chef included a gender bending vegan challenge during a recent elimination.

The guys had to cook for the bride and the women had to cook for the groom.

The bride’s entourage required the cheftestants to cook for a vegetarian in the bunch.

Scott Tobias, at avclub.com, made light of this situation by poking fun of the pescatarian bride:

“Meanwhile, the bride is more troublesome: She’s a pescatarian (Swim, Nemo, swim! Faster! Faster!) and one of her friends is a vegan, so plenty of fish and at least one non-animal-based dish are an absolute must.”

In the end, the guys won and cheftestant Hector got praise for his tofu dish.

Which is nice, Tobias pointed out, since seitan got the ax last time.

We won’t ask what happened to Flipper. It might be too hard to handle.
