Vegetarian Star

Since when has the world experienced a new female rock phenomena?

Chrissie Hynde? Poly Styrene? Joan Jett and the Blackhearts? Kathleen Hanna and Bikini Kill?

Girl in a Coma may be the next grrrls to rock our world!

The all vegetarian rock band from San Antonio, Texas is signed to Joan Jett’s record label, Blackheart Records, and has toured with both Joan and Morrissey.

Bet the catering situation for both tours wasn’t too hard to figure out!

You can catch Girl in a Coma in San Fransisco tonight at 9PM at Bottom of the Hill.

In the meantime, here’s a bit from a chat they had with San Fransisco Music Examiner Jamie Freedman.

On touring with Morrissey:
Other than super awesome? It was surreal. We idolize Moz (Morrissey’s nickname from the fans). The tour taught us a lot about how to open for a larger band, it was like Moz boot camp. We were really intimidated since his fans tend to be really intelligent about music. We also got to eat some really kickass vegetarian food.

On politics:
It just so happens that we have a lot to stand for: we are vegetarians, we are a band with two lesbians, we stand up for things, we are happy to help out and we are happy to ask for help when we need it.

Liv Tyler has been spotted carrying her leather-free Stella McCartney Textured Tote bag on more than one occasion, according to bagthatstyle.com.

The daughter of the famous Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler was once rumored to be vegetarian, but all sources and evidence point to her no longer maintaining that diet. She is a United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Goodwill Ambassador for the United States.

As for that Stella McCartney bag-it’s on sale at net-a-porter.com. Normally, $1,095, it’s now going for $525.60. Now that’s not entirely pocket change either, but hey, half off? Not bad!

Survivor reality TV alumni Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca are a couple that does everything together-including going vegetarian!

After Ethan’s recent diagonses with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s disease, the couple decided it was a good idea to start watching what they put in their bodies.

And since they were both obvious animal lovers, previously posing for an anti-fur ad, it seemed like one of the best choices the couple could make.

Here’s a tidbit from their recent interview with PETA.

Have you ever considered going vegetarian in the past?
Ethan: I was on a macrobiotic diet when I was younger and my father was ill. My entire family made the change to macro to help my father and the cancer he was battling. In addition, I was a vegetarian for 14 years before going on Survivor.

How did you make the transition? Was it gradual, or did you stop eating meat cold (faux) turkey?
Jenna: We actually made the transition pretty quickly—just cutting out everything right away. Now, with so many great faux-meat products, it’s not as hard as people think anymore to go vegetarian. For instance, in the grocery store are many great faux-meat options, like Gardenburger meatless buffalo chicken wings. Ethan was a huge fan of buffalo chicken wings, so these are a good replacement!

After Milwaukee Brewer’s first baseman Prince Fielder won the Home Derby Competition, a mobile pizza truck that sells pizza by the slice in Milwaukee, Street-za, made a special pizza to honor the hometown hero.

There’s just one problem.

Prince Fielder is a vegetarian and that pizza ain’t nowhere near veggie.

Here are the toppings for the Streetza Brew Crew Sausage Race:

Italian sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, Polish sausage and hot dogs.

Vendor dudes could have at least did a little bit of research before whipping that up. A pizza slice abundant with veggies or even multiple varieties of cheese would have been better.

The perfect slice, of course, would be one topped with faux sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, and hot dogs, as it would be the perfect opportunity to show fans what Prince is getting and what they’re missing on a regular basis.

Sigh. Opportunity missed.

Gotta give the Street-za guys credit for putting a vegan pizza on the menu, though, with the description, “Hopefully we aren’t banished from Wisconsin for this pizza. A Cheese-less pizza with our tomato sauce, fresh spinach, eggplant, onions, & cajun spiced potatoes. How can a pizza be good with no cheese? It is. Trust us.”

Both Anna Paquin and Ginnifer Goodwin have a love for all things meatless. And both just happen to be stars on bigtime HBO television series. Goodwin plays the role of Margene Heffman on the Mormon themed Big Love, while Anna hangs with the vampires as Sookie Stackhouse on True Blood.

So between the two HBO hotties, who would you rather…

Last week we told you Carol Leifer had recorded a hilarious PSA for veganism in which she explained that she needed to be in an even more smaller minority group than being Jewish and lesbian-now she’s Jewish, lesbian, and vegan.

Watch the clip to see the author of When You Lie About Your Age, the Terrorists Win say she lost nothing but 20 pounds once she got rid of all the meat, eggs, and dairy from her diet.
