Heather Mills No Burger Queen After All

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.”

Heather Mills Guarantees No Bodies Get Hurt

Not that we are encouraging anyone to gawk at Heather Mills‘ chest, but if you look closely at the shirt she’s wearing in this picture, you’ll see the phrase, “Vegan” and “No body gets hurt.”

Heather wore this lovely piece of fashion recently while on site at her new vegan restaurant, currently the old Big Fish cafe, near her home in the UK.

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.

Heather Mills Signs Burger King Whopper Of A Veggie Deal

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 23rd, 2009 in Business, Food & Drink, Models, Restaurants.

Heather Mills Named Honorary Chair Of Hunts Point Alliance For Children

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.

Heather Mills Buys Big Fish Cafe, Turns It Vegan!

The long awaited Heather Mills’ food line may have just arrived.

Paul McCartney’s ex wife has purchased a popular fish restaurant near her home in East Sussex, Big Fish Cafe, and is turning it into a vegan restaurant.

The eatery is thought to be the first in a worldwide chain she has talked about starting for some time.

Heather had dined at Big Fish Cafe in the past with daughter Beatrice, and even while she was still married to Paul, where they would have veggie breakfasts with soya milk tea, according to former owner Nick Short.

Short claims Mills bought the place for less than what was originally agreed, which was blamed on the current credit crunch.

“I have been well and truly worked over by Heather,” he told the UK Daily Mail.

One more sour flavor to add to the tartar sauce: Heather doesn’t have plans to hire the two full time and four part time staff, so Short was forced to lay them off.

Kudos to Heather for getting her vegan restaurant off the ground. But we have to say, in this economy, couldn’t she have shown some veggie love and kept the workers already there. After all, what better way to spread the veg news than to teach an old cook some new vegan tricks?

Heather Mills Vegan Food Shop In The Bronx?

Heather Mills Hosts Healthy Meal Cook-A-Thon with students in The Bronx

Heather Mills has been racking up the frequent flier miles taking trips from London to the U.S. and back.

According to the UK Daily Mail, Heather is interested in building a vegan food factory in the Bronx to help bring jobs to the impoverished area in which she is promoting her vegan charity with Hunts Point Alliance.

Heather has already donated a million dollars worth of vegan food and given vegan cooking lessons to families in the area.

We’ve been hearing lots of rumors on Heather’s vegan food factory from where it might be located to the brand name of the products to what ingredients she’ll be using.

Nothing is definite yet, but one thing’s for sure: we’re tired of waiting!

Heather Mills: Builders Can’t Be Choosers

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 13th, 2009 in Models.

Farm Sanctuary's 2008 Gala

The story we posted about Kristen Bell cooking chicken in her crock pot for her roommates even though she herself is a vegetarian makes for some discussion: Do you think most vegetarians are opposed to cooking meat, even when it’s for someone they know personally? What if a vegetarian had a company or employees to look after? Would all the company parties be veg?

When Heather Mills treated the staff of builders on her Sussex home to a Christmas feast,  the workers were a little disappointed to learn the meal was vegan.

Monster and Critics reported one of them saying, “We couldn’t believe we were getting a slap-up meal. But it’s all strictly vegetarian – they’ve just shaped the stuff to look like turkey. What’s the point of that?”

The workers took it all in good stride, since Heather was at least serving enough alcohol for them to wash the Tofurky taste from their mouths.

“We will choke it down. After all, Heather’s not against alcohol. Apparently there’s going to be plenty to drink.”

Heather is a staunch vegan, so it would have been strange to hear she was serving meat for them. But what about the rest of you? If you were in Heather’s position, or if you were treating a staff of your employees or contractors, would you force the vegginess on them for that meal?

1 in 200 Kids Vegetarian: Celebrity Tots Included

Heather Mills donates one million dollars in food to up the nutritional standards of the children in Hunts Point in the Bronx

A recent study has estimated that 1 in 200 children are vegetarians. The kid who brings the tofu sandwich that no one wants to trade with is getting company and there’s a good chance he’ll have someone to swap for seitan at school.

There are many children of celebrities who have made news because of their diet, or perhaps more so because of their parents strongly insisting on their vegetarian diet.

Heather Mills made headlines last year when she reportedly gave an eight page letter of requirements for her daughter Bea’s food regime while vacationing with ex Paul McCartney.

Mills’ strong spirit to instill the veg lifestyle in her own child has been extended to her helping other children, donating time and money to impoverished kids and their families, helping them access and learn to cook meatless dishes.

Madonna put it in writing as well, but legally, when she required ex husband Guy to only serve the children organic, macrobiotic vegan food.

With news such as the U.S. Government’s estimate and high profile celebrities making their children’s diet public, more parents may consider sending more carrots and yogurt to school with their child, versus a Lunchable and fruit roll ups.
