Bob Barker Shares Priceless Memories With Animal Legal Defense Fund

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 in Animal Issues, TV Hosts, Videos.

Bob Barker recently spoke with Director Stephen Wells of the Animal Legal Defense Fund about his new book, Priceless Memories, which is a memoir of his love of animals throughout his personal and professional career.

Bob brought along a friend, a rescue dog named Jessie. Jessie decides to take a snooze halfway into the conversation, but don’t let that fool ya. It’s not boring!

Bob discusses his DJ&T Foundation, which subsidizes the costs of spaying and neutering pets. The foundation was named after his wife and mother, Dorothy Jo and Tillie, two good women that helped turn him around to animal compassion.

Robert Pattinson Can Bite PETA’s Microwave Vegan Cookbook

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 6th, 2009 in Actors, Recipes, Videos.

2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Graydon Carter - Arrivals

The microwave has come a long way. It’s hard to imagine anyone not using one.

But Robert Pattinson has a fairly new relationship with the microwave and the passion between the two is more steamy than removing the plastic film from the frozen dinner tray after it’s cooked.

Pattinson recently mentioned in an interview with GQ that he’s never owned a microwave until he moved to LA. Now that he’s got one, his desires are in overdrive and he’s always looking for new things to nuke.

PETA caught wind of this and are sending him their very own cookbook,  PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook: 275 Easy, Cheap, and Delicious Recipes to Keep You Vegan at School

The cookbook doesn’t officially come out until May. But here’s a lovely infomercial that’ll have you whipping out your credit card at 3:00 AM after watching the one for the Time Life 80s collection.

Now, Rob should have no problem finding something to pop in the box every night. With recipes like Fake Blondes, Pimp My Ramen Noodles, Butt Ugly Sticky Blonds, and Campus Streaker Sausage Dip, we expect Rob and the microwave to be going strong for a while.

Earlier we showed you the video of Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Twilight’s Robert Pattinson talking about veggie burgers, and Robert was taken aback when Hayley mentioned “Gardenburger.”

We wondered if Hayley was veg…

One really cool reader, Allie gave us a tip (thanks) on a video showing the Paramore band eating cheeseburgers, including Hayley. Another really cool reader, Chuck, mentioned that a Gardenburger with cheese looks like a real burger.

So you be the judge. Is Hayley eating the regular cow or is she chowing down on veggie goodness?

The band could very well be at a burger joint that offers the veggie variety, as many do.

What do you think? Speak now or she’ll forever remain in carnivore limbo!

Hunter Burgan Will Be Your Friend If You Offer Him A Burrito

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 6th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Videos.

Hunter Burgan, AFI bassist and Vegan Ambassador for MacBeth vegan shoes has posted Part 4 of a 7 part Q & A series where he answers questions submitted by readers of his blog, Tranquilmammoth.com.

One reader asked this hilarious and bizarre question:

Let’s say that I happen to own this awesome burrito factory where I serve vegan burritos only-every vegan burrito you can imagine. I also serve coffee there. Would you be my friend on those terms, even though you know absolutely nothing about me?

Hunter’s reply:
“Yeah, I would be a little bit suspicious. This seems like a trap. And I’m not going to just walk right into a trap…Vegan burritos, right?”

Hunter’s sissy played a big part in his decision to go veg. She had been vegetarian for six years before Hunter became one.

Watch the video to learn what costume Hunter would wear to do spy work.

Not long ago, we told you about Twilight’s Robert Pattinson mentioning he had a conversation about veggie burgers with Hayley Williams from Paramore.

Rob was taken aback by the name “Garden Burger” because he thought it sounded like a burger growing in the dirt.

Here’s the video of Rob and Hayley talking about Twilight. Hayley brings up Gardenburgers around minute 3:45.

The cool thing about it is that Hayley was surprised when she thought Rob didn’t like veggie burgers. Does that mean Hayley’s got a box of Gardenburgers in the freezer?

Elizabeth Olsen Of Olsen Haus Footwear Talks To Eco, Vegan Bloggers

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, April 2nd, 2009 in Fashion, Videos.

Ladies we all have a girlfriend we know who owns shoe pairs in the triple digits. Sometimes, depending on the person we’re talking to, we admit that “girlfriend” is us.

But while we’re buying out the discount rack at Payless, are we paying our dues to the environment and animals?

Elizabeth Olsen, creator of Olsen Haus vegan shoes, spoke with bloggers Joshua Katcher, aka, Discerning Brute, and Chloe Jo Berman from the Girlie Girl Army on all things vegan shoe fetish.

And dudes: this is for you too. Elizabeth has some manly vegan shoes in the wings which she hopes to launch in the fall of this year.

Elizabeth has been a vegan herself for the past 2 years and hasn’t eaten meat in 20!

Alan Donohoe Exposes Butt, Says Why He Went Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, March 27th, 2009 in Male Singers, Videos.

Earlier we learned Alan Donohoe of The Rakes had his butt covered environmentally due to his vegan diet.

However, the latest dirt on Alan reveals something completely contradictory. It seems he’s taken his pants off and exposed his butt on one occasion. But it was all in the name of animal rights.

Alan ran naked in PETA’s Running Of The Nudes, to help bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

Alan’s cute rescue kitty, Fritz, makes an appearance in this clip. 

Watch the video to learn why Alan went vegan and visit peta2.org to enter to win a personal ring tone recorded by Alan and a signed copy of The Rakes’ latest CD, Klang!

Padma Lakshmi Eating Hardee’s Thickburger Video

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, March 27th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian, TV Hosts, Videos.

This is why you should hide the remote from your children at the end of the month folks.

Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi is shown here in her video ad for Hardee’s Western Bacon Thickburger, which will start airing next week.

Gorging on disgusting amounts of cow and pig (and who knows how many parts from each animal), former vegetarian Padma discusses how she’s “always had a love affair with food,” and her, cough, cough, “fond” memories of sneaking and getting a bacon cheeseburger before dinner in high school, devouring it, and leaving no evidence.

We tried to post this early so you wouldn’t throw up your lunch.

Padma may have swayed from being a vegetarian for her love of real meat, but y’all know there are waaaay too  many fake meats out there for anyone to use that as an excuse to go back to eating animals. You could re-create the Padma nasty burger with a completely meatless one. 

What’s your favorite faux carnivorous product? Tofurky sausages? Lightlife Bacon? Chime in and let everybody know!
