Vegetarian Star

Is Mayor Michael Bloomberg vegetarian? The New York Post is hinting so.

The wealthiest resident in New York city dined at Morton’s Steakhouse in Brooklyn eating “onion soup, broccoli and grilled asparagus.”

Sounds like Bloomberg pulled a Patrick Stump in the steakhouse.

Bloomberg sampled other treats, including the specially prepared for his  crew homemade empañadas, but refrained from eating meat and was “strictly vegetarian.”

If Bloomer is veggie, it would be great for him to come out of the veg closet and let New Yorkers know how awesome it is, even if he flexes.

Now how about putting NY Veg Day on the next city council agenda!

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.

Here at Veg Star, we go giggity, giggity, goo over celebrity sightings in veg restaurants.

The latest sighting comes from the Starwatch section of nbclosangeles.com.

Heather Mills was spied having a meal at L.A.’s Vegan Glory with daughter Beatrice and a “male friend” who we’ll assume is Jamie Walker.

Hmm…Does this mean Heather has talked the meat loving Jamie into going veg?

“They seemed to be in good spirits,” the source said. “Beatrice was singing all throughout the meal.”

Vegan Glory food sounds like a supper to sing for!

Jared Leto was spotted hanging out at LA hot spot Bardot and enjoying some late night vegan grub!

A source said the actor and rocker, “chilled in the lounge with a couple of buddies.”

If you recall us telling you, Leto played the role of spider rescuer at a party for Proposition 2 that Olivia Wilde attended. When a huge, black spider was aiming for musician Moby’s head during his performance, Leto didn’t hesitate to rush in and, instead of killing it, place it back on the ground.

Speaking of bars, how easy is it to find good vegan grub there? A bar in Hollywood may be more likely to have vegan fare, but everywhere else? Have you been able to find good veg food at 2:00 AM to munch on while you sip your vegan Heineken?

Rapper David Banner has been on a quest to trim down and shape up.

After experiencing high blood pressure, the rapper born Levell Crump,  who took his stage name from the lead character from the CBS Incredible Hulk series, decided it was time to change his macaroni and cheese and fried chicken routine.

Although he hasn’t become a vegetarian, he expressed excitement over a vegan cookie sold at Smoothie King.

“I tell people is this: once you submerge yourself into healthy eating, I am willing to bet any amount of money that you will find the same amount of healthy things that you like and dislike. I don’t like every unhealthy thing in the world. I don’t like fried catfish. There are certain things I don’t eat. But in the healthy world, there’s the same amount of things that I like and dislike, there’s certain things that I consider to be sweet. There’s a vegan smart cookie that they sell at Smoothie King that I love, and I really can’t taste the difference. There’s certain healthy salad dressings that taste as good as the unhealthy ones, but you just have to take the time out to submerge yourself in that world to find those things.”

Awesome that Banner found out how great vegan cookies taste! Maybe his sweet tooth for vegan cookies will lead him to “submerge” himself completely in the veg life!

My, my how rumors get started.

The one we told you earlier about Heather Mills signing a multi-million dollar contract with Burger King to promote their new vegan burger? Nah, not true.

Heather has denied being the spokesperson for such a campaign, but says she’d love to do one.

Are you listening Burger King?

Heather’s manager told WENN, “The Burger King story isn’t true.”

“Heather hasn’t been paid three million but she would love to get vegan burgers or any vegan food out there via any avenue possible and Burger King would be a great place to begin.”

So not everyone is excited that Heather Mills bought Big Fish Cafe, took the fish off the menu, fired the old employees, and plans to turn it into a vegan restaurant.

From a UK Guardian article titled, “How to be…A celebrity restaurateur”:

“First, remind everyone of the famously vegan status of your famous ex-husband’s beloved first wife. Next, buy up a local fishy concern and announce your intention to remove fish from the menu entirely. Get some nice press shots done of you in chef whites and make some grand pronouncements about how this will be the first in an international chain of vegan splendour. Finally, relax in the knowledge that no one eats in a restaurant merely sponsored by a non-famous civilian dum-di-dum with a piffling passion for food but with no actual history for paparazzi-titillating behaviour. Smile gamely when asked if you intend to throw a glass of water over the heads of hostile food critics.”

Safe to say the UK Guardian isn’t cheering for Heather’s new unfishy restaurant. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But we gotta check the Guardian on their facts. Linda McCartney was vegetarian, not vegan.

Update: There is no burger deal. Not yet, anyway.

Heather Mills has signed a veggie whopper of a deal.

Paul McCartney’s ex, who has been busy teaching families in the Bronx how to cook and eat vegan through her Hunts Point Alliance Charity, has agreed to back the launch of a new meat-free burger at Burger King.

The patty will be featured at over 11,000 Burger Kings nationwide and folks will be able to have it their way, Heather’s way. 

Heather will be paid £3 million, which is a little over $4 million US dollars, to promote Burger King’s veggie fare.

Burger King currently offers the BK Veggie Burger at some of its restaurants, so we’re not sure if the BK is staying or being replaced by a new, chic Heather burger.

A source told The People: “Heather is ecstatic. She believes she can change the eating habits of millions. She’s also being paid a lot of money and the deal will help boost her standing.”

This news comes just shortly after we learn Heather has bought an old fish restaurant in the UK and plans to turn it into a vegan eatery.
