Vegetarian Star

So we’re tracking John Salley‘s dietary habits on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, to see how well he sticks to his vegan regime in the jungle.

An early episode had John and Heidi Pratt duking it out in an eating contest that involved a rat’s tail. No points for staying vegan that week, John.

However, on last night’s episode, John was set to compete in yet another contest, jungle worm eating, but quit.

Did the bad press get to him? Or did he just decide it wasn’t worth giving up his principles to be able to smoke Sanjaya?

John lost the lovely privilege of getting to eat leaf cutter ants, bull’s testicle, and cow tongue in the next rounds.

In case you care, Heidi and Spencer quit the show again.

Geneva Cruz is Philippine’s Sexiest Vegetarian. PETA says so.

Of course, don’t take PETA’s word for it. Maxim agrees too, as this lady graced the cover not long ago.

What makes Geneva so beautiful inside and out is her love for animals. A vegetarian since 15 who’s now a vegan, Geneva made the switch after filming a shampoo commercial where she interacted with animals.

“We were at a place in Palawan where the animals could roam free! Free! And all I had to so was to feed one of them and say ‘Natural!’ We’d repeat that for each take,” Geneva said.

“I think you help save a lot of lives if you are a vegetarian. For me, a vegan diet is not about dieting, it’s about loving all living things,” she added.

Nothing like morning after regret.

After deciding to eat organic, Philadelphia Phillies slugger Ryan Howard, who was baseball’s Rookie of the year in 2005 and MVP in 2006, lost 20 pounds!

When he slips up and eats terrible, he admits it’s not worth it afterwards.

“When you’re on that regular cycle of eating well…you go off and you get a burger and fries or whatever, you feel terrible…You feel, “Why did I just do that?”

Of course, if Howard’s got a craving for a burger every now and then, might we suggest any numerous veggie burgers available? Meat-free, cruelty-free, and no buyer’s remorse.

And it would be so easy to do, considering the Philadelphia Phillies have one of the most veggie friendly ballparks.

It’s the perfect next step in being healthy, Ryan. And you could join the ranks of dozens of other professional athletes who keep pork off the fork.

Howard visited the White House garden recently when he revealed he’d been ogling organic for some time.

Bob Barker is generally known in the animal rights movement as the spay and neuter guy, but he’s done much more for non-human creatures, and shows no signs of stopping.

The vegetarian has recently written to Principal Chief Hicks of  the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation in Cherokee, North Carolina, urging for an end to the tourist attraction there of bears being confined in caged pits.

“Cherokee has so much to offer, such as its beautiful mountains, museums, cultural and historical exhibits, Native American shops, friendly residents, and casino. The caged bears may have been a big attraction at one time but are now seen as an embarrassment to the community and should be permanently closed down.”

Barker isn’t the first to express dismay at the exhibit, as PETA says people have contacted them after viewing it with some of the following statements:

• “I was so upset with how sad these animals
looked.” —Visitor from Louisiana
• “This attraction is truly a disgrace to the town of
Cherokee and its tourist offerings.” —Visitor from
Illinois
• “[W]hat a sad life they live, with no access to
grass, dirt, trees, woods, etc.” —Visitor from
North Carolina

Barker himself is of Native American descent and spent many days of his youth at the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

“Our objective is to sink the Japanese whaling fleet economically, and for the last three years we’ve cost them their profits. 305 whales saved this year, 500 last year, 500 the year before, and we’re gonna keep this up. As long as we’re persistent — we don’t retreat — I think we can bankrupt them. That’s our objective. ”

—-Captain Paul Watson, star of the Animal Planet series Whale Wars, which tries to stop Japanese whalers from killing whales in the Southern Ocean. Watson and the crew recently did an interview on Larry King Live, where he revealed his ultimate goal of destruction-the whalers’ wallets!

Mos Def’s got a new album, The Ecstatic, coming out tomorrow.

The hip hopper who’s real name is Dante Terrell Smith, sat down for some chit-chat with USAtoday.com and he brought along his son Fidel for the interview, where he enticed him with the thought of ordering hummus or guacamole.

Mos Def is a vegetarian, and from the sound of it, looks like he’s trying to bring Fidel up that way too.

Mos fantastic!

Mos Def likes to skateboard around his neighborhood, something he picked up from comedian Dave Chappelle.

“I love my decks,” he said. “It’s a great way to discover a neighborhood and keep fit. And it’s really Zen.”

Balthazar Getty begone!

Sienna Miller has a new love in her life and it’s gardening.

The 27-year old actress who has just finished filming GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, has been doing nothing but hoeing these days.

“It’s all about my veggies,” Sienna said. “Forget men, parties and jet-setting!”

“I have got a cottage and a garden at home in London and I’m growing vegetables for the first time in my life. I can’t wait to get back to my garden.”

The source article says Sienna is an “avowed vegetarian,” but we haven’t uncovered any other sources saying she is.

However, home grown veggies is certainly the start of a healthier body and sustainable planet. There’s no fuel involved in transporting those tomatoes to the kitchen!

Of course, we’d gladly take Sienna into the veg club. Do you think she’ll join us? Is she already a secret member?
