We’re Giving Away Morrissey: Don’t Refuse Him!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, February 16th, 2009 in Male Singers, Videos.

Because you know the more you ignore him, the closer he gets.

At the Veg Star we love our readers so much, we want to give them something for free!

That’s why we’re giving away not one, two, three, but FIVE copies of Morrissey’s latest CD, Years of Refusal, plus some cool promotional stickers.

The only thing you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling us why you feel you should own Morrissey’s latest CD. It’s that simple.

From now until March 9th, you can enter to win. Make sure you leave an email that you check regularly because we’ll be contacting the winners through this address. If you’re randomly chosen, you’ll have 72 hours to respond to our email, otherwise we’ll pick another fan!

Years of Refusal will be released tomorrow, February 17th and it will be Morrissey’s first studio album since 2006’s UK #1 Ringleader of the Tormentors. This month, Morrissey will begin touring in the U.S.

You can bet workers on his tour will only be eating veg. A longtime vegetarian, Morrissey has worked with PETA and never fails to speak up when it comes to animal issues.

Morrissey is often recognized as the most important British musician of his generation. The New York Times recently stated, ”Morrissey isn’t just any singer: he has become one of the defining rock stars of the past few decades by virtue of his grand voice, his grander songs, and his charming habit of playing with melodrama”.

His influence is felt worldwide through the countless artists that cite him as their primary inspiration. Years of Refusal is a masterful work that finds Morrissey and the band at their best with a muscular sound and the inimitable voice and lyrics of a legend.

Morrissey’s Miss Brazil 1970, Jamie Oliver’s Master Chef

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 in Male Singers.

Morrissey has a way with words when it comes to expressing his opinions, whether it’d be telling someone to vivisection themselves or proclaiming he’d rather eat his own genitals than work with certain people creatively.

Now he’s got some words for Britain’s famed celebrity chef and Food Network fave boy Jamie Oliver.

When asked recently by Maxim Magazine, ‘Who in your life would you most liked to “kick in the eye”?’, he replied, “That meat-fed horror Jamie “Orrible” Oliver. If he’s a master chef, then I’m Miss Brazil 1970.”

Should Oliver take off his chef hat or should Morrissey start wearing a crown?

Yes, Oliver is a meat eater, but he’s attempting to make humane progress, starting by trying to raise awareness of conditions on animal farms.

But Morrissey’s one strict cookie. We don’t think he’ll be entering the swimsuit and talent competition any time soon.

Oliver shouldn’t feel bad. It’s not just meat eaters Morrissey loathes as he also mentioned, “It will be worth being dead just to get away from Victoria Beckham.”

Morrissey Says Sea Food Is Sea Life: See That, Pescetarian?

397px-morrissey-alexander-film When it comes to defining a vegetarian diet, most would agree abstaining from beef is a no brainer. But some have different standards when it comes to eating fish and other seafood, pescetarians, as they are called.

But Morrissey doesn’t have any doubts about sea food and took time to educate one of his former valets who spilled the beans that Morrissey will fire anyone caught eating meat while working for him on tour. More from Monsters and Critics:

“I asked what the view is on fish,” Andrew Winters told Britain’s The Times newspaper. “Sea food is sea life, I was informed, so the same rule applies.”

He was applying as a valet for a two week tour with Morrissey when inquiring about the “requirements” of the job.

So beef, poultry, and sea life can all get you canned. Or an ugly shirt.

Winters was fired after one day (but not for eating sea life).

The road manager told him he didn’t do anything wrong and said, “It’s nothing to do with you, really. It could have been the shirt you were wearing, your haircut, anything. Please don’t take it personally. This happens.”

No, sometimes Morrissey just wants to say “sea ya!”

Eva Mendes Wants Threesome With Jennifer Aniston, Morrissey

The 10th Anniversary Party For Flaunt Magazine

Eva Mendes has gone wild.

Earlier we told you she wanted to pose naked with Morrissey for a People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) anti-fur ad.

Now she wants Jennifer Aniston to join them.

She joked she had a craving for a “PETA-Buddy and Jenny Sandwich,” when expressing her desire to get Aniston involved. Is that what they’re calling it these days?

Mendes, like many others, particularly men, was impressed with Aniston’s naked photo cover for GQ magazine. That, along with the fact that Aniston’s new movie, Marley & Me, is about a dog who helps a couple cope with life, is the reason Eva thinks Jen is picture perfect for the job.

“Jennifer is currently going naked to promote a film about what wonderful companions and teachers dogs are,” Mendes said. “And it is just one small step from there to advocating for the fair and ethical treatment of all animals.”

Three is a crowd, but if it’s for the sake of animal rights, close might still be comfy.

Eva Mendes Wants To Get Naked For Morrissey

Actress Eva Mendes (Hitch, Ghost Rider) has worn her birthday suit for PETA in the past and now she wants Morrissey to join her.

“I really want to do a PETA ad with Morrissey, I’d be happy to do it naked if need be.”

Although she is willing to show her buns for animal rights, she’s not sure if she should expect full frontal from the former singer of The Smiths.

“Whether Morrissey would want to get naked with me is another question. Maybe he could come up with something more creative than out-and-out nudity.”

Like maybe a fake chik’n patty covering up the essential parts?

Morrissey is an avid supporter of PETA as well as a vegan, so teaming up for the cause makes sense.

Mendes said she’s had a crush on Morrissey ever since she discovered The Smiths.

Morrissey, who is rumored to be talking to former Smiths member Johnny Marr about a reunion, is being presented with a lot of decisions lately. Reunionize with the boys, get naked with the girl…Tough choices, but someone’s gotta make them.

Morrissey Ready To Eat His, Um, You Know

Gossip has been taking place over the internet for some time about the 80s English Rock band The Smiths reforming for a reunion. But Morrissey has in the past denied having a happily ever after renewal of vows with Johnny Marr and the others.

“I’d rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths – and that’s saying something coming from a vegetarian,” he was once quoted as saying.

Wonder if he likes barbecue or sweet and sour with those jewels?

Before we gross you out even more with our junior high school humor, we should tell you that a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper:

“The very fact they are talking again is the most hopeful thing in years. The industry has been buoyant with talk of them getting back together.

“A lot of people think of them as the best thing since The Beatles. They’d fill stadiums many times over.”

Reforming could be a good thing for Morrissey, who is so strict about his diet he even prohibits his employees from eating meat while on tour.

There’s power in numbers. With Johnny and and his entire band backing him up singing Meat Is Murder, Morrissey might get his wish to have the beef and pork selling food booths turned into tofu kabob ones.

Meatless Mouthful: Morrissey Rather Vivisection Himself Than Reform The Smiths

“I’d rather eat my own testicles than reform the Smiths, and that’s saying something for a vegetarian.”

—-Morrissey, to Uncut Magazine, on getting back together on stage with The Smiths, a band he and Johnny Marr, rocked with in the 80s. The band supposedly broke up due to a lot of bickering between he and Johnny. Bummer. They couldn’t even find their veg lovin’ as common ground to stay together.

On another interesting note, Morrissey, once responded to the opening of a new animal research lab by saying, “If you like vivisection, go and be vivsectioned upon yourselves.” Eating one’s own, uh, reproductive goodies, comes pretty close to that.
