Vegetarian Star

Earlier we brought you the news that Teany, the cafe and restaurant Moby co-founded with ex girlfriend Kelly Tisdale, was badly damaged by a fire.

At the time, Moby wasn’t sure what Kelly’s plans were for re-building, but now it looks as though Teany may be up and running in a couple of months.

On his online journal, Moby gave this update:

“teany burned up the other day, but apparently kelly is working hard to repair it and get it re-opened. so there’s a good chance that teany will re-open at some point in the next month or two. i will put news here on moby.com as i find out about it.”

Alec Baldwin was the honorary auction host at the EcoFabulous in the East End dinner and silent auction which benefited Group for the East End, an environmental group that works to protect and restore the environment in Eastern Long Island.

Alec filled up that evening with a vegan salad appetizer, which was prepared by local chefs, with local food to keep the theme green.

While auctioning off a stay at Casa de Campo, a Dominican Republic resort with three golf courses, Alec made a joke that the best way to preserve green space is to turn them into golf courses.

Ha, haaaa, Alec!

We’re sure Baldwin’s combined humor and the cause the East End Group works towards made the evening a blast.

Today is Prince William’s birthday.

You may or may not care, depending on your fan meter, but you should know that his grandma wants to make the Royal Palace a little more green.

After meeting with First Lady Michelle Obama, where some scandalous touching took place, The Queen and Mrs. O hit it off. Queen Elizabeth has decided to follow her friend’s latest trend and plant organic vegetables in a 40 acre lot in the back of the Palace.

The garden will have runner beans, leeks, beetroot, and an endangered variety of climbing French beans called Blue Queen.

This will be the first time since World War II that plants have been grown at the Palace.

Mrs. Obama recently broke ground for the White House garden and last week invited local children to harvest and eat lettuce and snap peas.

Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz is about to give birth any minute now!

She recently chatted with Celebrity Baby Blog on her plans to bring the child up as eco friendly as possible.

“And for me, I’ve been really lucky to get all of this yummy organic clothing, and my nursery is all organic and eco-friendly. My daughter’s just going to be really hip! My goal is to be as eco-conscious as possible: There’s so much out there for parents who want to do that. I plan to keep her eco-friendly as she gets older. I think we all sort of have to do it. I’m lucky enough to be able to do it, so we just have to drive the market toward it so it becomes more possible to make and more accessible to consumers. People will realize how much easier and better it is to be local and organic. But it’s just not available to everyone right now.”

We’d like to do a little PSA for vegetarianism and remind Ana how easy it is to be EXTREMELY eco friendly by just going veg!

She and baby would lighten their carbon footprint tremendously by taking meat off the plate. By going vegetarian, they’d help reduce the number of livestock gas emissions and free up land space to grow plant crops for humans, versus farms animals. Not to mention what a better way to bring a baby in the world and teach it about kindness than instructing it to refrain from partaking in the cruelty of killing and eating animals.

Go veg, Ana. There’s nothing ugly about that!

Update: Alas, Teany will rise again! See link.

Teany Cafe, a tea and vegan food shop in New York founded by Moby and his then girlfriend Kelly Tisdale, experienced a fire this weekend.

Although no one was hurt, the store was destroyed, and it’s not sure whether or not Kelly will rebuild and reopen.

On his Myspace, Moby blogged:

“I believe that teany the cafe might, alas, be no more.”

“Yesterday there was a fire (no one was hurt, as far as I know), and teany was destroyed.”

“I need to ask kelly if she’s going to re-build it, and as soon as she says ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ I’ll let you know.”

“I’m really glad no one was hurt, and if anyone has pictures of teany post-fire I’d love to see them (as I’m in germany as I write this, and can’t go round to see the damage).”

Teany started off as both a tea and food shop when Kelly and Moby opened it.  Later, Teany became more of a hub for tea when Kelly took over most of the business decisions, although it still had a variety of vegan entrees on the menu.

Moby once remarked that Teany was so great because meat eaters were just as happy with the faux selections as vegetarians.

The former Posh Spice is known for her fashion statements, including her handbags, but one bag in particular is giving the folks of PETA the creeps.

Victoria Beckham has been spotted carrying a Hermes bag around town. Hermes is a company that uses crocodile skin in its products, and has recently started to breed its own crocs for the fashion line.

“We will send Victoria Beckham, a compassionate person who won’t wear fur, our undercover footage that shows how alligators and crocodiles are beaten to death and how snakes are nailed to trees and skinned alive for these products,” the animal rights group stated.

“The mere thought of purposefully breeding and killing crocodiles for an outdated, overpriced handbag should make any fashionista’s skin crawl.”

Vegetarian Victoria has made statements in the past, denouncing fur and claims the only fur products she wears are fake.

Gabe Saporta was a contender in PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity contest, but, as we told you earlier, lost to Milo Ventimiglia.

Gabe’s a good sport about it, but is wondering if mom will be disappointed.

On a recent Twitter entry, he wrote @GabrielSaporta:

“i can’t believe i lost sexiest veggie 3 years in a row! what a horrible disappointment. what ever will i tell my mom?”

We’re sure mom is proud of her son, the lead singer in Cobra Starship. After all, you don’t have to be voted the sexiest vegetarian to be an awesome vegetarian citizen.

Gabe’s done his part to stand up for animals, including posing in an anti-fur ad with this cute little bunny.

Mom’s probably got dozens of those posters plastered on the walls at home. And mini ones for the refrigerator.

Rest assured, Gabe. Mom will still love you. And so will your fans.

English recording artist and songwriter VV Brown recently became vegetarian after seeing a cow killed and stripped of its guts while in Africa.

But she’s thinking of taking it a step further and leaning towards veganism, because, well, who wants to deal with a chick during that “time of the month?”

“I’m thinking of giving up eggs because if you think about it, they are just chicken’s periods,” she told the UK Guardian.

Come again?

Oh, sure, VV must be talking about the fact that eggs are unfertilized products of a chicken’s reproductive cycle, which some have likened to the same process that occurs when an egg is unfertilized in human females.

Yeah, if you think about it…VV has the right idea.

She’s got a new album coming out, Traveling Like The Light. Check out her Myspace for some music samples.
