Vegetarian Star

Vegan hater Anthony Bourdain once said it was rude to eat vegetarian while traveling, but the British gals Fearne Cotton and Alexandra Burke are willing to forgo manners by refusing to eat animals given to them by locals in Peru.

The two stars have laced up their hiking boots to walk along the country’s Inca trail to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. The trail is one of the most famous in the world, spanning 26 miles, passing through mountains, forests, jungles and ending at Machu Picchu, the “lost city of the Incas.”

A local mayor presented the two with guinea pigs and then invited them to the event where the animals would be skinned and roasted and eaten.

Simon Cowell has forbidden X Factor star Alexandra Burke from getting a dog because he thinks she’s wouldn’t be able to devote enough time and attention to one.

“I really wanted a dog this year,” Burke said. “Simon’s said I can’t have one because I’m too busy.”

Instead Burke plans on buying another home.

Hopefully she won’t turn it into a Paris Hilton zoo and store twenty something handbag puppies in it.

If anyone champions the welfare of dogs, it’s Simon.

He’s been caught on more than a few occasions snuggling with four pawed people and took time to record a public service announcement about not leaving pets unattended in cars.

Is Alexandra Burke looking to take advice from the very veggie and equally hot Leona Lewis?

According to News Of the World, Alexandra is expanding her options when dining out.

“I tried a vegan restaurant recently that Leona Lewis told me about. I was impressed. I hate training though, it’s the most boring thing in the world.”

Where is this restaurant again?

Burke said she tries to eat as healthy as possible before a photo shoot, but insists she never wants to whittle down to a Twiggy.

“Guys don’t like skinny girls, they like something to get hold of!” she said.

Hope Alexandra takes her own advice by putting a pat of vegan butter on her edamame next time.

Then she’ll really have the X Factor.

Alexandra Burke may be compared to Leona Lewis for her talent and sex appeal, but the X Factor winner insists she and the vegetarian are nothing alike.

“She’s a really sweet girl,” Burke told Attitude. “I was actually happy that it wasn’t just a brief meeting, it was actually sitting down talking. Well you know she’s very laid back. I’m quite the opposite to her.

“I saw her in LA for dinner, she’s a vegan and I actually tried a vegan restaurant she goes to – not with her – but I went to one and it was actually quite nice. I was quite impressed because I like my chicken.”

Glad to hear Alexandra liked her meatless meal.

Is there a chance she will become a little like Leona and frequent the vegan restaurant scene more often?

Someone’s gotta tell her about the dozens of faux chicken she can cook at home.

Alexandra releases a new single, Bad Boys, on October 5.

Her album, Overcome, debuts October 19.
