If you love to be up at 2:00 in the morning with your credit card on hand in case Time Life is offering their latest collection of [Insert Music From Genre X] for five easy payments and you’re chowing down on an avocado and seaweed wrap at the same time, we’ve got an infomercial for you.

Celebrity Chef Bryan Au, adored by many vegan celebrities like Anthony Kiedis and Alicia Silverstone now has the very first raw food infomercial.

The author of several raw cookbooks that you can check out on his Raw In Ten website, will be demonstrating creating raw food dishes on Jan 23 2009 at 8am and 3pm on WTCN in West Palm Beach in Florida on Comcast 15. But even if you’re not in Florida, you can still call 1-800-970-2281 to make a purchase and keep Bryan’s raw show going!

Television devoted to vegan and raw is long overdue. Good luck to Bryan on making this mainstream. What’s next, a vegan Food Network Iron Chef?

Remember Anthony Kiedis’ personal vegan chef, Laura Dakin, he hired last year? She’s now working on the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s “Whale Wars” boat, Steve Irwin.

Laura is the gal who makes sure the crew gets three vegan meals a day while fighting Japanese hunters in the Southern Ocean.

She’s the Chief Cook on board and has held this position since 2005. Guess Anthony’s had to share her vegan food lovin’!

She’s got the seas in her blood-her father was an Australian Naval Officer.

You gotta wonder how poor Anthony gets by in the kitchen when Laura’s performing her duties at sea.

For more information on the rest of the crew, which actress Daryl Hannah joined, visit the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

Anthony Kiedis experienced some real “Scar Tissue,” this past summer. His kidneys almost failed him and there was even talk of needing a transplant as he made repeat visits to Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment, according to E! Online.

“Anthony’s health was pretty bleak,” a source said. “Organ failure was a possibility.”

The Red Hot Chili Peppers singer is doing better, but with all the celebrities who don’t eat meat having doctors telling them biting into a burger will ease their maladies lately, it makes you wonder? In the midst of Anthony’s health situation, do you think he’ll have at least one doc telling him, “A chicken wing a day keeps the doctor (and further kidney problems) away?”

Years of drugs and alcohol abuse did the damage, but Kiedis has come a long way to clean up his act, turning vegan almost a decade ago, on the advice of one smart doc. He even took up yoga!

Incidentally, Anthony hired his own personal vegan chef, Laura Dakin this past summer as well. It’s possible he knew he would need to watch his nutrition even more carefully since learning of his liver problems, so he hired Laura to help him out.

What do you guys think? Will Anthony stay on the straight veg course? Did he hire Laura because he knew he needed the best vegan super food in such a time of dire need? Chime in and let us know your thoughts!

Bryan Au is a raw vegan food celebrity chef who’s had the opportunity to share some tasty bites many of the meat-free and famous.

His most memorable meal involved Alicia Silverstone and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

“Once Alicia Silverstone picked me up in her Echo Car (a Hybrid car made by Toyota) and she took me to a underground dinner in Hollywood where the Red Hot Chili Peppers showed up and joined us for one of the most delicious and amazing RAW Organic Dinners…one of my most favorite rock groups in the World”

In case you didn’t know, the lead chili pepper, Anthony Kiedis is a vegan and has his own private vegan chef.

And good ol’ Alicia may be a secret vegan chef hiding her skills, as Au says she taught him a lot of things about raw food.

He learned just how he is appreciated by celebrities at Peta’s 25th Anniversary Gala in Paramount Studios in Hollywood. While getting a chance to meet “all the celebrities” he always wanted to, he ran out of treats in his raw food booth he had set up. But luckily for him, there was one last celebrity that stopped by just before the pantry was cleaned out.

“…at least I had some left when Pamela Anderson came by.”

To try what every celebrity couldn’t get enough of, get Raw in Ten Minutes, a cookbook he wrote. Don’t forget to shop at his Raw Online Store for all the kitchen equipment you’ll need for a great uncooked event.

Kiss that meat goodbye, girlfriend!

We always like it when someone crosses over to our side. Country music star and American Idol finalist Kellie Pickler is the latest celebrity to become vegetarian. Even better, she’s talking about it.

In People Magazine, she credits both Pamela Anderson and Carrie Underwood for helping her convert. We call it the power of blonds.

Pickler first switched to being a veg for health reasons. Then she saw a video by Pamela Anderson on animal rights, which, much like the experience of Anthony Kiedis, convinced her there was no turning back.

“A lot of it has to do with knowing what happens to the animals and it really bothered me and so I will not eat meat,” she said.

So Pamela Anderson is the first blond. Then comes fellow Idol alumnus Carrie Underwood. When she made the decision, she began texting back and forth, asking Carrie all sorts of newbie questions, such as “Is fish considered a meat?” Underwood, being the ever supportive teacher didn’t know if Pickler could pull it off at first and was amazed that she stuck through it.

Being a small fish in a large pond, Pickler is careful not to get too preachy. There aren’t many vegetarians in country music, with Shania Twain being one of the few.

“Most country girls do like their meat!” she said.

Now one less country girl eats her meat.

At Vegetarian Star, we are natural food voyeurers. So we wonder what our favorite Red Hot Chili Pepper, Anthony Kiedis, gets cooked up for him daily. Suppose we’d have to ask his personal chef, Laura Dakin.

Kiedis hired her last month as a full-time, round the clock vegan chef. Incidentally, this happened shortly after his break up with 3 year girlfriend Heather Christy. Maybe he wasn’t ready for another girlfriend, just someone to do girlfriend cooking duties-ha, ha!

But anyway, we don’t know exactly what Dakin is cooking for Kiedis these days (we can’t find a Kiedis blog-if anyone knows of one, please let us know and help bring food voyeurism to everyone). One of PETA’s 2008 sexiest vegetarians decided to go veg after a doctor recommended it for his son and watching a factory farm video “sealed the deal” as he’s said in interviews.
