Vegetarian Star

Travis Barker took a moment to put down his drumsticks and Tweet about delicious food he had at Spiral Diner in Dallas, TX.

“Just ate great vegan food @SpiralDallas …soooooo good.”

Travis isn’t the only celebrity that knows Spiral’s got the good stuff.

Erykah Badu, a native Texan, likes to catch herself a good meal when she’s in town.

And Silverstein’s Shane Told got a sweet tooth for the Diner’s brownies in the past.

Kim Basinger, veteran actress and animal advocate, was one of the first celebrities to star in a “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” ad.

“Beauty is not about wearing someone else’s coat,” the ad read.

Kim recently sent a letter to Chinese designer Luo Zheng, urging Luo to see the horror of using fur in fashion.

“As you may know, this is an issue that is very dear to my heart,” writes Kim. “I have avoided wearing real fur for many years ….”

“PETA’s heartrending investigations have documented that animals, including dogs and cats, are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, strangled with wire nooses, and skinned alive. Workers have been caught beating raccoons, dogs and foxes with metal rods and leaving them to convulse on the ground. Some animals are injured but still completely conscious as they are skinned, and they kick and writhe as their skin is ripped from their bodies.”

Basinger has the right idea about beauty.

Most men would definitely rather see a naked woman than one covered in a fur coat.

Take a cue from Kim and keep your closet fur-free.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, First Lady of France and wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, enjoyed vegan fare from Candle Cafe at an event intended to honor her for her work with Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Carla was accompanied by her husband and Jordan’s Queen Rania.

The party was hosted by Peter Chernin and Tom Freston along with his wife, author Kathy Freston, who happens to be vegan.

Other guests included Brian Grazer, Charlie Rose, Christy Turlington and Howard Schultz

Carla is already fur-free, as she announced this several months ago.

Will the delish vegan food from Candle Cafe make her want to go meat-free as well?

Nothing’s better than sharing the good news of vegan food.

Travis McCoy got The Ghost to try a vegan buffalo wing and we think The Ghost is converted.

From Travis’ Tweet:

“I got Ghost to a vegan buffalo wing! And the verdict: “These shits bang shen!!!!!”

We think that means they were delicious, tasty, bad ass, etc.

Check out this pic of The Ghost holding one darn bang shen vegan buffalo wing.

Veganism is supposed to include diet and lifestyle, so presumably, a vegan who wore leather really isn’t “vegan” according to some strict standards.

Journalist Nicole Lapin, who calls herself a vegan, recently said she does eat honey.

Is Nicole really not a vegan for eating honey?

According to a definition of veganism from vegetus.org:

“Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals (Stepaniak).”

Although honey is not a product extracted from the bee itself, bees do produce it for their own food.

And beemakers force bees to make excess amounts of honey, so they’ll have food left after the honey is harvested.

Is this exploitation?

When bees aren’t producing enough, beekeepers give them supplements, usually mixed with sugar and water.

Blah! That’s like replacing the gourmet almond spread with generic brand peanut butter!

But most vegans who don’t consume any other animal derived or made product except honey don’t want to call themselves just vegetarian.

And those occasional fish eaters will stand by their vegetarianism.

Is it time to create sub definitions for vegan and vegetarian?

Aim & Ignite

The Indie band Fun, who’s album, Aim & Ignite, was released last month, call themselves the pranksters.

But it sounds like Nate Ruess, Andrew Dost and Jack Antanoff pull pranks that are not so cool.

“Early on the tour, Jack and I decided we’d form a prank team,” Dost told Spinner.com. “We gave everyone codenames. For our first prank, we had a half-eaten vegetarian burrito from Chipotle. We threw it in a bag and lit it on fire, like a bag of s— on somebody’s doorstep. We were at a venue and tricked our drummer to stomp on it. That night, our two hotel rooms started prank calling each other.”

Throwing a fired lit item on someone’s doorstep is not just uncool, it’s dangerous.

And who wastes a perfectly good half of vegetarian burrito?

Actress Mackenzie Phillips is supposed to reveal a big secret during her appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show Wednesday to promote her book, High on Arrival.

The daughter of the Mamas and the Papas founder John Phillips has a half brother named Tamerlane, who is a self-described “peace-loving vegetarian.”

However, Tamerlane wasn’t too peaceful when speaking about his half sister and her family.

Tamerlane, also a fan (as is definitely evident below) of yoga, told Page Six:

“My family is and always will be a decrepit bowl of dog urine compared to Nityananda of Ganeshpuri. That is how great Nityananda is,” Tamerlane said of the Indian yogi who died in 1961. “Worship Nityananda, not the Phillips family. Nityananda can protect you,” said Tamerlane.

Not sure of Tamerlane’s last statement, but following the diet he follows can definitely protect you-at least from health problems like disease.
