Heather Mills, Jamie Walker The Carnivore Still Going Strong

Heather Mills works on her new vegan restaurant

Awhile back, we told you an ex girlfriend of Heather Mills’ then boyfriend, Jamie Walker, was spilling the vegan pork and beans on her previous relationship with him.

Elsa Maneiro claimed Jamie and Heather would never work out because Jamie loved meat too much.

“I don’t think they will be compatible. Jamie will not become a vegetarian as he loves meat too much,” Maneiro said.

“He always lapped up my chicken or meat dishes. He has a penchant for hot dogs, hamburgers and junk food occasionally as well.”

“He adores fish. I can’t see him giving it up. The food is full of protein which is great for his body-building.”

Hmm…Either Jamie is eating more faux chicken lately or Heather’s tolerating his beefy ways.

Pictured here is Jamie and Heather walking on the day Heather showed the press the site for her new vegan restaurant, currently the old Big Fish Cafe. It looks like they are at least, ahem, keeping in touch.

Heather,a vegan, was pretty strict with Paul McCartney, requesting that he tighten the belt on his already vegetarian ways.

Has Heather let loose? Or has a woman turned Jamie around?

Padma Lakshmi Gives Food Porn Detail Of Burger Indulgence

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 26th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian, TV Hosts, Videos.

Valentino: The Last Emperor New York Premiere - Arrivals

Update: For full commerical video, go here.

She just had to do it.

Not only did Top Chef  host Padma Lakshmi pose for a Hardee’s Thickburger ad, she wrote her disgusting food porn graphic descriptions of her “experiences” as a teenager.

Seriously, this stuff should be R-rated.

“I…started wolfing down bacon Western cheeseburgers after school at Carl’s Jr. The sublimely pleasurable taste of bacon…was further enhanced by its mingling with the barbecue sauce, greedily licked off as it dripped down my teenage fingers,” Padma writes in her latest cookbook, “Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet.”

It was such graphic detail of cow and pig devouring that led Hardee’s officials to seek her out for the campaign.

“When we found out Padma was such a fan of the Carl’s Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger, she was a natural fit to star in the television campaign for Hardee’s new Western Bacon Thickburger,” said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. restaurants. “In many ways, she was the perfect choice for our ‘Young, Hungry, Guy’ customers because she’s beautiful, she’s a culinary expert, she’s beautiful, she’s very smart, and she’s beautiful.”

Wouldn’t it be funny to have a “Young, Hungry, Guy” campaign aimed at teaching about the risks of impotence from eating artery clogging meat?

On her experience doing the burger ad, Padma wrote:

“I think eating in itself is an act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction. I was excited to be able to talk about a food item that I have fond, personal memories of. I grew up wolfing down Western Bacon Cheeseburgers at Carl’s Jr., as I said in my book. So, I was happy to be able to share that story with a whole new group of burger lovers.”

Hide the children, filter the television channel selections, as the ads start running at the end of the month.

Michael Jackson Exotic Animal Tour Not A Thriller For Animal Rights

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 26th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Male Singers.

**RESTRICTION APPLY**A huge crowd gathers to see Micheal Jackson after he watched the West End hit Oliver musical in London

Update: PETA received word that Michael Jackson DOES NOT plan to use live animals on tour. 

You’d think after the butt whipping Britney Spears took for using live animals in her “Circus” video, celebrities would learn.

Michael Jackson may be a healthy vegetarian, but his decisions on animals aren’t so healthy for the four-legged creatures.

After rumors surfaced that he’ll be featuring live, exotic animals on stage for his comeback tour, animal rights activists began growling like tigers.

A source told the UK Daily Mirror:

“He hopes to make it the most spectacular gig ever. For the jungle section, he wants to ride out on an African elephant with panthers led on gold chains. Parrots and other birds will fly behind him. If it goes to plan it will look incredible.”

But PETA doesn’t think the show will be a Thriller.

In a statement issued to WENN, the group responded:

“These exotic animals belong in Africa, not the O2 Arena among screaming fans, bright lights and stage explosions. These wild animals are deprived of everything that is natural and important to them when they are forced to perform under stressful conditions. Michael needs to learn to leave exotic animals alone.”

Elephants, panthers, and parrots, oh my. If the rumors are true about the animals on tour, Michael better be waving “bye” to those plans or face much more harsh criticism soon.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 in Female Singers, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Two American Idol winners battle it out for your votes, although they never competed against each other onstage. Carrie’s been a vegetarian since her teens, even though her parents are cattle ranchers! This year, she’s donated some of the proceeds from the American Idol elimination song she’s singing to the HSUS.

Kelly recently made the announcement on a UK radio station that’s she been vegetarian for a little over a year and has a new album out, All I Ever Wanted. Simon Cowell’s opinion doesn’t matter on this one. Between the two, who would you do…

Meatless Mouthful: Stella McCartney On Responsible Fashion

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 in Fashion, Meatless Mouthful.

Stella McCartney Store - Christmas Lights Switched On

“I was brought up that way, so it kind of came very naturally to me. I was brought up on an organic farm in the countryside and the whole family was vegetarian. So it sort of came without thinking. But then when it came to my having a career, starting a job and starting a brand in fashion, I guess it wouldn’t have sat comfortably with me to be hypocritical. I guess that was the starting point. The seeds were already sown in my personal life, and then they came into my business life.”
—-Designer and daughter of Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney, on what led to her starting an ethical fashion line. Stella refuses to use fur or leather and became quite angry when a company once put a fur coat on a model wearing a piece from her lingerie set.

Corey Feldman’s Grandparents Thought Vegetarianism Was Nuts!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues.

Premiere Of Walt Disney Pictures Race To Witch Mountain - Arrivals

Actor Corey Feldman has some genes that make him love animals, as his mother was an animal rights advocate. Good for him for having such a compassionate mother, because grandma and grandpa thought vegetarianism was just plain tipesh!

Note: Hebrew vocab 101. Tipesh is the word for dumb, idiot, stupid…you get the point.

From an interview with Look To The Stars.org:

“By the time I was 10 years old, I was resigned to the fact the I wanted to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life. However, growing up in a strict family environment, my grandparents where old Jewish traditional type people and thought I was crazy for wanting to be a vegetarian. It took until I was about 13 years old when I made the decision to be a strict vegetarian… and have been every since, and it’s been about 24 years for me now.”

Growing up, Feldman and his mother had as many as 50 animals living with them on their ranch as a result of their obsessive dog and cat rescuing tendencies.

Nowadays, Corey lists animal rights organizations such as the Humane Society, PETA, Farm Sanctuary, and Last Chance For Animals as his top choice for charities.

Russell Brand To Have Hot, Veggie Date With Lisa Simpson?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 in Actors, Comedians, Pop Culture.

Russell Brand Signs Copies Of Russell Brand: My Booky Wook

Executive producers of The Simpsons, James L Brooks and Al Jean, would like to write comedian and actor Russell Brand in the cartoon show.

Al Jean said Brand was “very funny”, and added, “I would definitely be interested in writing an episode around him.”

In addition to Brand, Brooks and Jean want President Obama too.

We’re thinking Brand could have a date with Lisa Simpson.

After all, they both follow the same diet, and Brand wouldn’t be the first vegetarian celebrity Lisa meets on the show while dodging Homer’s love for lamb chops.

It was the help of Paul and Linda McCartney that helped Lisa maintain her veggie lifestyle in carnivorous loving Springfield.

It’s high time Lisa found herself a veggie mate. We just can’t picture her having dinner every evening with Milhouse.
