——Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney stood up to the face of intimidation and refused to cancel his performance at Israel’s 60th birthday despite several threats from militant Islamic groups. The celebration in Tel Aviv was scheduled for tonight.

After hearing the troubles Paul was having, Ted Nugent offered to help him with the cause, offering to protect him and buy him tofu afterwards.

This may be a prime example of the “Although I don’t agree with what you say, I’ll defend your right,” statement. Nugent, is a Republican, pro gun carrying man, who loves to eat anything that can run or swim away from him. McCartney, of course, is a longtime vegetarian and activist.

Nugent told WENN radio, “”Regardless that Paul and I have our obvious social, cultural, and culinary differences outside of music, I will not bend or waiver to voodoo religious whackjobs and neither should Paul.”

“It would be my pleasure to keep this legendary musical hero safe from terrorists and madmen, and then buy him a nice dinner of tofu.”

This is a sharp contrast from what Nugent wrote before in an article that appeared in the Waco Tribune-Herald: “I have musical touring associates who have been fired from their jobs with ex-Beatle Paul McCartney for sneaking a hamburger. You heard that right. Fired for eating meat by an animal-rights maniac, hardcore vegan bass player.”

Ah…It’s so refreshing to see a carnivore maniac like Nugent defend an animal rights maniac who fires people for eating burgers on the bus. Maybe we are coming together despite our differences after all.

Paul McCartney is being urged to save the cows by encouraging people to vote for a “Poor Cow” motion that will introduce ethical standards for cow rearing and dairy production.

The UK Vegetarian Society, which Paul is a patron of, currently has no standards for rearing cows and the dairy produced that is Vegetarian Society trademark approved. Because of this, some feel this means the society could be approving dairy products from cows that are kept in unhealthy conditions, not allowed to graze, and are fed genetically modified grain.

The Society is also being accused by some of having lower standards than groups such as UK organic Soil Association, The RSPCA Freedom Foods scheme, and Gordon Ramsay.

Yes, Gordon Ramsay has just scored another point in the ongoing meatoff between him and McCartney. It seems even the foul mouthed chef who suggested electrocuting vegetarians insists on animal welfare standards, only buying meat for his restaurants that are “ethically bread.”

“We have traceability across the board, where we have a certification of whether it’s organic beef, or whether it’s a hand-picked scallop or a line-caught sea bass,” he said in an interview.

Sources say the trustees of the society have told their members to vote against the motion because they feel doing so will cause membership to decline. Still, others want Paul to use his influence to vote for a minimum standard much like he has used his clout in the past to ban GM ingredients in certain foods.

Unlike his experience at Nick and Toni’s in the Hampton’s, Paul McCartney thought the perfect place to stick this food would be in his mouth.

Chef Aldo Zilli at Signor Zilli restaurant in Soho, London, prepared a menu specially for McCartney that consisted of five courses-all of which Paul ate, including avocado and mango salad, asparagus wrapped in leeks, chargrilled veg with mozzarella and goat’s cheese ravioli.

Yeah, we’d stick most of that in our mouths too.

Although Paul McCartney himself is not a vegan, his ex-wife Heather Mills wants to rear their daughter, Beatrice as one. While divorced couples bicker about almost everything, this is one subject Paul is not interested at all in challenging.

More from the Sainsbury’s Magazine interview, to be on the stands September 4th:

“My youngest daughter is vegan, so I’m often looking for vegan food and I need to know if there’s any dairy products. I prefer to think of it as caring; it’s a good thing, you do it for the right reasons,” he said.

Apparently Russell Simmons didn’t teach the chef at Nick and Toni’s very well. Earlier we brought you the news of how he requests special vegan risottos at the New York restaurant whenever he dines. You think that would make the chef a little more sensitive.

Sir Paul McCartney was dining there with his girlfriend Nancy Shevell, when the chef ordered the waiter to bring a meat-based amuse bouche to the “vegetarian guests”. To which McCartney replied, “You can tell the chef to stick it … but don’t tell him I said that.”

Even if you’ve had your head in a sandbox for the past century, you’ve had to have overheard the news that the Beatles superstar is a longtime vegetarian. And since Paul is a regular at the restaurant, the chef had no excuse.

Playful banter? Or is Nick and Toni’s chef getting tired of catering to the vegans who act like celebrities?

The two contestants are in the pit. All one needs is love. All the other needs is the F-word.

Admittedly, journalist like to sensationalize. Therefore, we thought it’d be best to come right out and say that the title of this post is a little exaggerated. No fight between Paul McCartney and Gordon Ramsey in the sense of an Ultimate Fighting, animal blood and guts vs. sharp carrots and tempeh face masks will be taking place. However, the story is interesting…

Gordon Ramsey isn’t exactly known for his love of vegetarians and even spent an entire season rearing calves that he easily made the transition from pet to plate (ouch, yuck, cruel…you get the picture by now). He was once quoted as saying:

“My biggest nightmare would be if the kids ever came up to me and said “Dad, I’m a vegetarian”. Then I would sit them on the fence and electrocute them.”

At least we know where he, unlike some politicians, stands.

However, Paul McCartney decided to play a little trash talk back game in Sainsbury Magazine.

“I think it’s a case of live and let live. I will talk to people about the advantages of vegetarianism, and it will upset me if we’ve had a good conversation and they turn around and say something stupid. I just read a quote from Gordon Ramsay… ‘If my daughter ever grew up and married a vegetarian, I’d never forgive her.’ But even that I would forgive because it’s not my affair, it’s not up to me if he talks stupid or not.” 

Judging from the tactfulness and thoughtfulness of each contestant’s opening punch, we think nice (and vegetarian) guys will finish first this time.

She may be smiling here, but that wasn’t case when she saw a very offensive ad containing one of her designer bras.

Stella McCartney, designer of vegan fashion and daughter of Beatles great Sir Paul McCartney, was absolutely horrified to see an ad for Hockley with a model wearing one of her bras and a mink coat.

Strict vegetarian just like dear old dad, she designs cruelty free clothing and is also helping with the revitalization of her late mother, Linda McCartney’s food line.

Stella was obviously furious.

“It goes against everything I stand for,” she told a source.

A little bit of anger and a little bit of threatening with legal action resulted in the ad being pulled.

And who wears their bra showing underneath their coat anyway? Sigh…
