Vegetarian Star

Chelsea Autumn is the right hand woman for Patti Stanger, founder and president of  the Bravo reality TV show Millionaire Matchmaker, where gold-diggers, or uh, women looking for men with over a million dollars in wealth sign up to find love while the sugar daddies get makeovers. 

Autmn’s exact title is “V.P. of Match Making,” and she runs all over the place working with and pleasing clients and trying to score a hook up (true love) for everyone.

That kind of fast paced life is enough to make anyone head for the unhealthy ice cream after a day’s work. Luckily, Autumn has a great momma with good taste in healthy baking-vegan baking, that is. And mom shares her vegan cookie love for both Autumn and the staff regularly.

From the Houstonist.com:

“My family is very proud of me. I am very blessed in that way to have a family who will be proud of me no matter what I do. My mom and a few of my sisters have met Patti and love her! Patti loves my mom. We call my mom a wind goddess because she is so earthy and calm. My mom also makes the best vegan cookies in the world called “Carley’s Cookies”. Whenever the MC staff needs something sweet we have my mom make us her infamous cookies.”

Sounds like the perfect match.

Is Mayor Michael Bloomberg vegetarian? The New York Post is hinting so.

The wealthiest resident in New York city dined at Morton’s Steakhouse in Brooklyn eating “onion soup, broccoli and grilled asparagus.”

Sounds like Bloomberg pulled a Patrick Stump in the steakhouse.

Bloomberg sampled other treats, including the specially prepared for his  crew homemade empañadas, but refrained from eating meat and was “strictly vegetarian.”

If Bloomer is veggie, it would be great for him to come out of the veg closet and let New Yorkers know how awesome it is, even if he flexes.

Now how about putting NY Veg Day on the next city council agenda!

Avril Lavigne has been known to go and make things complicated when it comes to her status as a vegetarian, but this really takes the vegan cake.

In her hometown of Napanee, Ontario in Canada, at La Pizzeria Pizza and Spaghetti House, there’s a pizza named after her. Avril was a regular there, eating lots of slices of mushroom, olive, and pepperoni pizza. Yes, pepperoni.

And although Avril has associated herself with being vegetarian, she still rides the roni when she visits home, according to pizzeria co-owner Bill Kosmopoulos.

“She still has pepperoni on it,” said Bill, referring to the pizza Avril eats when she stops by occasionally. 

This story is sorta reminiscent of vegetarian Alec Baldwin joking around with the New Yorker saying he shot and smoked deer meat and ate it every morning. Only this story sounds true.

“In East Hampton, I’m a nudist and I eat meat,” Baldwin—a vegetarian—had said before my visit, expanding on the idea that he lived a quite different life on Long Island than he did in New York. “I shoot deer with a bow and arrow. I smoke the deer meat and eat it every morning with my eggs and toast. I am a homosexual. I listen to rock music, loud.”

Insert Avril’s name and change a few of the specifics and you get:

“In Napanee, I chow down on the pepperoni and live a quite different life than I do in the states.”

“If only it were true! I would put vegan food everywhere. I’d put it anywhere it’d help to minimize meat consumption and get people to have tasty alternatives.”
—-Heather Mills, in an interview with ExtraTV.warnerbrothers.com on that false rumor going around that she signed a multi million dollar deal to promote a vegan burger with Burger King.

She’s on her way to sprinkling some vegan food dust in a couple of countries. She’s working with Hunts Point Charity to bring vegan food to impoverished families in the Bronx in the US and most recently, bought an old fish restaurant in the UK that she plans to turn into a vegan eatery.

Ruben Studdard went veg in 2006 to combat some health problems and ended up losing some love handles as well.

However, last time he was asked if he was still sticking to his vegetarian diet, he replied, “Currently trying to return.”

Talk about disappointment! We were saddened to learn our favorite American Idol teddy bear had fallen off the wagon.

That’s why we’re ecstatic to learn that he might at least have one leg in the wagon again.

When interviewed recently by boston.com, Ruben asked, “So, where are the good vegetarian restaurants in Boston?”

Does this mean Ruben is back to veg for good?

He’s currently working his butt off, probably both literally and figuratively, starring in the Fats Waller musical Ain’t Misbehavin‘. 

Studdard’s been performing eight shows a week for the past five months! You know that takes a lot of his favorite Morningstar Farms products, veggie buffalo wings, and PF Chang’s dinners he loves so much to refuel.

Glad to hear he’s asking about the veggie spots in town. Hopefully, this means he’s no longer misbehavin’ with his diet. 

Have you ever fallen off the vegetarian wagon? What made you do it? How did you get back on it? Confess now!

Just when you think you’ve heard everything about President Obama, new news surfaces.

In 2006, when Barack was an Illinois senator, he wrote a letter to PETA condemning the Canadian seal hunt.

Yes, THE PETA. Who knew Barack had such animal lovin’ roots!

“I share your concerns about the Canadian seal hunt,” Obama wrote in a letter to the organization, dated April 13, 2006.

“As you know, Canada annually opens its eastern waters to commercial seal hunting. The United States and European Union have been unified in their opposition to the slaughter of seals by passing legislation decades ago to restrict the sale of seal-based products within their borders.”

“I certainly believe in the spirit of these acts; the U.S. should not condone this recent Canadian action.”

Much ado has been made about the level of physical fitness of the current president. (Shirtless photo, shirtless photo, shirtless photo.)

Would it be inappropriate for us to suggest the President of the United States to take off his shirt for PETA in the name of animals? Even jokingly? We certainly hope not. 

One thing’s for sure, it’s definitely appropriate for Obama to continue to champion for animals while in office.

Not long ago, we brought you the rumor going around that Michael Jackson was planning to use live animals during his comeback tour and that the show would feature wild animals accompanying Michael on stage such as elephants, panthers, and birds.

PETA received word that Michael does not plan to use such animals or any live animals in his shows. Whew! Wipe sweat from brow.

However, they’re still not letting him Off the Wall yet.

In a recent blog entry, the group chastised Michael for his previous mistreatment of animals.

“Too bad he still has a spotty past when it comes to compassion for animals. It had been widely reported that Jackson planned to ride an elephant on stage and use panthers, but subjecting animals to amplified noise, bright lights, and the fast pace of a massive concert production is cruel. Plus, his rap sheet from the not-too-distant past includes dumping his chimpanzee, Bubbles, with a Hollywood trainer. And many of the animals he left behind at Neverland Ranch ended up being sold at auction, despite repeated offers from PETA to help place them in sanctuaries. His orangutans were reportedly sold to a private owner in Connecticut, two of his alligators are languishing at the disgusting G.W. Exotic Animal Park, his giraffes in the care of a private owner in Arizona are on the verge of being evicted, and more.”

“Michael, it’s bad, it’s bad, and you know it.”
