Vegetarian Star

Wow. Talk about what’s been happening “since she’s been gone.”

Kelly Clarkson is vegetarian now and has been one for about a year.

During a recent interview with Trent FM UK, Kelly’s interviewer was talking about his experiences in Amarillo, Texas, where the world’s biggest steak-72 ounces-is served.

Kelly said, “My friends have kind of disowned me a bit in Texas because I’ve been a vegetarian for over a year now.”

Don’t worry Kelly. Fellow Idol winner Carrie Underwood knows your pain.

“You can’t be a vegetarian in Texas,” the interviewer jokingly objects.

“I tried it and it’s been really great…So a 72 ounce steak might make me barf,” Kelly continued. “It’s so much better now. I feel better,” she added.

The interviewer concluded by pleading with Kelly to “eat some steak, please,” telling her she was missing her nutrients. Ha! Smart gal Kelly responded that “you get enough nutrients [from things] like beans and everything.”

We’ve got Kelly Clarkson, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, and off the wagon trying to get back on Ruben Studdard in the veg American Idol club. 

Kelly’s new album, All I Ever Wanted, is set to be released in March.

Listen to the video to hear the interview and Kelly talk about her fake red carpet smile. The vegetarian part of the conversation starts around minute 4:45.

Although her parents were cattle ranchers, American Idol alum and country music singer Carrie Underwood became vegetarian during her teens when she was still living with them.

While mom and dad were supportive of her diet, not everyone she encounters while touring in some areas are as welcoming.

She says she has to be careful while performing in places where cattle ranching is big, because there’s a chance if she announces she’s vegetarian, she’ll get booed.

“I’m a vegetarian and there are some parts of the United States where you do not announce that to the audience,” she explains. “And while the crowd might be kind of playing with me, sometimes if I do let that slip, I do get booed. So it’s something I’m working on-keeping me vegetarianism to myself.”

Watch the video to hear Carrie explain keeping her secret to herself and find out what musician she admires.

Once again, an oldie, but goodie.

Did Tony Romo get tossed away for Babe or Fido?

After Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005, she answered 20 questions for CMT about herself. When asked if she had to choose between animals and men, she replied, “I haven’t found a good man, yet. I’ve found lots of good animals, so I’d go with animals.”

Ouch! Her next beau will have to work really hard to measure up to all the relationships she’s had in the past with (non-human) animals. Growing up in rural Oklahoma, she bottled fed cows and befriended piglets and loved them so much, she gradually phased eating meat out of her life between the ages of 10-13.
