Vegetarian Star

The secret is out.

The vegan tacos Ellen DeGeneres loves to devour at home can now be yours, thanks to her personal chef, Roberto Martin, spilling the lard-free refried beans.

Check out the recipe.

Conservative political talk show host Sean Hannity would like to help some farmers during a drought by raising water levels.

But doing so might wipe out an entire species of fish and Federation of Fisherman has warned that killing these fish will also lead to the salmon population demise.

Jon Stewart took a few moments to mock Hannity for his views about the food chain and regulations that created the reservoirs for the farmers to begin with.

“Hannity lent his almost comically oversized head to the very real drought problem that these farmers are facing,” Stewart says opening the segment.

Take a look!

Jenn Brown is a television host, personality, and producer who’s credits include the only female correspondent for Inside the NFL, covering boxing and martial arts for Showtime Sports, and the Superbowl.

Jenn has a thing for vegetarian food, but hasn’t made the complete switch yet.

Here’s an example of what you might find in her shopping cart:

Boca Flame Grilled Meatless Burgers

“I don’t eat a lot of red meat, but when I’m in the mood for a burger, I grill one of these soy versions and smear it with a little ketchup and mustard or hummus.”

Galaxy Mozzarella Flavor Rice Shreds

“This soy free cheese melts just like the regular kind but has just 70 calories and 1 gram of saturated fat. I use it on top of beans and homemade pizza.”

A non vegetarian who eats Boca Burgers and dairy alternative cheese?

Oh, Jenn, you’re so close darling. Just take the plunge and go full veg!

Andrew G. had the chance to Tweet about a vegan pie just before the carbs took their toll.

“Vegan pie Floater from Funky Pies in Bondi, nap soon. Coz that’s how I roll, huge serve of carbs then straight to sleep…”

Funky Pies is a great place to catch some vegan food in an Australian eatery that’s eco-conscious in every aspect of its business.

Besides serving great vegan food like “Brekkie’ Rolls” of Veg-sausage mix, beans, tomato, ‘bacon’ bits and “Funky Chunky” and “No Wurry Curry,” Funky Pies using biodegradable packing in all their take out products, serves fair trade coffee, and boasts its staff uniforms are made in sweatshop free factories.

Angie Stephenson, the self titled “Director of Funk” says on the website about Funky Pies’ specialization:

“That’s an easy one, who doesn’t love a good pie? You don’t have to be Aussie to enjoy a nice hot tasty pie with deliciously flaky pastry. You can get dodgy pies though, so I wanted to provide a product that was not only quick to cook and easy to eat, but a healthy alternative to the more common ‘meat’ pie where you are really not sure what part of an animal you are eating…mmm.”

We hear you, Angie. Mystery meat is totally different kind of funky.

Much Music

The evening at Tryst in Toronto went well, the event being a fundraiser for the animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Much Music VJ Sarah Taylor was there at the door checking people for cruel clothing like Pamela Anderson stripped potential passengers in the Cruelty Doesn’t Fly ad.

“I’m vegan. This is a cause I really believe in,” Taylor said. “I’m all about cruelty-free products.”

She was asked if she was trying to be the next Pamela Anderson.

“Looking down at my chest, I’d say no,” she replied.

Ah, boobs.

They’re not important.

What matters is that you never possess any chicken breasts.

Go Sarah!

By now you’ve heard the news that American Idol officials have finally found Paula Abdul‘s replacement, Ellen DeGeneres.

Shocked, disappointed, excited-regardless of your feelings about Ellen as a judge, one thing’s for sure: she’ll be bringing a warm heart for animals to the judge’s table.

A vegan and activist who has championed causes like Prop 2 and given away vegan items on her television show, Ellen now makes one more animal advocate along with Simon Cowell.

Simon’s not vegetarian (Ellen, bring your vegan seitan wings to the rehearsals), but he’s been outspoken on animal welfare, including a PSA urging dog owners never to leave their four legged friends locked in a car.

Simon even said he sensed vegetarian Carrie Underwood‘s kindness when she walked into her audition and mentioned putting items about how potential Idol contestants treated animals on the audition questionnaire.

And let’s not forget, Kara Dioguardi reminded everyone to take good care of their dogs too.

Now if only we could get Randy Jackson to get naked in the name of being fur-free.

If you’ve ever tuned into Man v. Food on the Travel Channel, you know the show is anything but promoting of a vegetarian, healthy, everything in moderation lifestyle.

Host Adam Richman samples food from different American cities before arriving at a spot to do a big eating challenge.

As you might guess, most of the food and challenges don’t involved counting the number of carrots you can down in 10 minutes.

But according to The Guardian, Richman balances his death eating challenges at work by eating vegetarian at home.

“But I know a couple of things about Adam Richman. I know he works out like a bastard before and after every episode. I know when he’s not doing the show he maintains a strictly vegetarian lifestyle. I don’t know that all the regulars in the diners and restaurants he visits are similarly vigilant. When Adam Richman’s back to his broccoli and his StairMaster, they’ll still be shovelling down food. Which isn’t to say I won’t be watching when he takes on the 12-egg omelette challenge.”

Anyone have knowledge of the validity of this statement? Does Richman attempt to purify his arteries at home?
