Johnny Marr: Not The Tabloid Vegan Bad Boy Anymore

When Johnny Marr and Morrissey were together for The Smiths (something that will probably never happen again unless Morrissey eats his genitals), the media portrayed each of them as opposite stereotypes.

“That all started with the Smiths,” Marr told the Daily Mail. “Morrissey was meant to be all about vegetarianism, celibacy and Virginia Woolf. I was all about football, clothes and a bit of pot-smoking. That’s very reductive. If people bought into that, I don’t blame anyone but myself. If you’re in a successful band, you tend to fall into a role.”

“…I’m not remotely laddish. I’m a grown-up. I’m vegan and teetotal. I run 50 miles a week, listening to Franz Ferdinand and the Four Tops at top volume.”

With all the stories of celebrities falling to drugs recently, it’s great that Johnny is publicly talking about what a clean life he lives.

Who needs drugs when you can have hot sauce on seitan?

Stic.man of the hip hop dual Dead Prez sat down with limitemagazine.com to talk about his music.

But as you know by now, any vegetarian or vegan celebrity has to throw some veggie bits in any interview they give and Stic.man gave a little background information on why he changed his diet and lifestyle habits.

“After seeing the negative effects of the drug game, the poor fast food diets in our lives and also training in martial arts. My wife is a holistic health counselor and author of the book Vegan Soulfood Guide to the Galaxy so I live it all day everyday. My son is 8 and vegan as well.”

Stic’s wife?

None other than Afya Ibomu, who served as Erykah Badu‘s nutritionist and diet counselor during her some of her tours.

Great musical career, good looks, good woman who knows how to cook vegan…

As Rod Stewart sings “Some guys have all the luck.”

Tony Gonzalez Discusses Vegan Principles Diet With USA Today

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, August 31st, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Flexitarian.

Atlanta Falcons v St. Louis Rams

Tony Gonzalez insists that his success on the football field is most closely tied with adopting “vegan principles,” according to usatoday.com.

Not a complete vegan-not even a complete vegetarian-Gonzalez still eats seafood and chicken occasionally, but has given red meat the permanent punt off his plate.

“You have to put good stuff in your body. Everybody should, but especially athletes. We’re high-performance machines. You wouldn’t put regular gas in a race car. Jimmie Johnson is going to put the high-octane, good stuff in there. It’s the same thing for football players. You’d be surprised by how many players don’t do it. But I’ve seen the results.”

Tony’s trying to get the wifey on board too, but she’s not the best willing participant.

Uh-oh.

Does she need a Skinny Bitch to keep her in line?

“She’s having trouble. When I cook, she’s eating good. But if she has to do it on her own, she might not make the best choices.”

Tony made the switch to a mainly vegetarian diet after sitting next to a man who ordered a vegan meal on a plane flight and bugging the heck out of him with questions, which led Tony to read The China Study, which outlines how diseases that drive health care costs up can be prevented with a plant based diet.

Bif Naked Song “Sick” Addresses Puppy Mills, Seal Hunting

Playstation 2 pre-MTV Video Music Awards Party

Bif Naked has a new album out, The Promise, that was created during her fight with cancer and energy zapping chemotherapy.

So most people would think that a song from the album titled “Sick,” would detail Bif’s tumultuous battle with the disease.

Not entirely.

Bif, a raw vegan, is also an animal activist and used to song as a vehicle to express her disgust with some animal industries.

“Sick” is just another word to describe many of the injustices the weaker have to endure.

“‘Sick’ also addresses how I feel about the seal hunt and the puppy mills on Vancouver Island,” said Bif, according to straight.com.

“Obviously, docetaxel and carboplatin made me sick, but the premise of the song, for sure, is there’s just so many travesties and injustices that we have to outrun all the time.”

Bif got so sick during her treatment, she had to temporarily eat something not vegan-yam rolls-because they were the only things she could keep down.

Blah! Sounds horrible.

Happy return to vegan foods, Bif!

PETA has unveiled its latest ad against animal testing.

Layla Kayleigh, the star of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, is asking you to think before buying lipstick or mascara that may have been worn on a rabbit or rat first.

“I don’t think people are purposely buying cosmetics and household products that are tested on animals. I just don’t think they think twice. … It really takes such a small thing to make such big impact, you know, and I feel like the more people get involved, the more it can make a difference.”

Natalie Portman No Longer Vegan Thanks To Carvel Ice Cream?

The Apple Store in Soho presents Meet The Director: Natalie Portman

Has one of our favorite vegan actresses fallen to the scoop?

During an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal for Interview magazine, Jake asked Natalie Portman what her favorite food was.

Natalie said she not only loved “Carvel Ice Cream,” but there was no way you could make it any better.

PORTMAN: Well, I don’t think you can really improve upon Carvel ice cream cake.

GYLLENHAAL: I’m more Baskin-Robbins style myself.

PORTMAN: Oh really? I am so Carvel. Did I just bring us back to 1985 Long Island?

From the dialogue provided, it looks like Natalie was thinking back in the days…when she still ate dairy.

1985? Wasn’t she still sporting her training wheels while eating that Carvel ice cream?

What do you think? Is Nat milking the cow while she listens to obscene hip hop music?

We’d hate to think so, given the fact there are so many vegan ice cream brands out there.
