Vegetarian Star

Jason Mraz likes it raw. And ever since he opened up about his chocolate avocado dessert, he’s never stopped talking to the media about his raw vegan diet.

So it comes as no surprise that Jason’s named his latest tour after a chain of raw foods restaurants in San Fransisco, California, Cafe Gratitude.

Cafe Gratitude, the tour, kicks off in July in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Cafe Gratitude, the menu, offers elixirs, juices, and smoothies, appetizers like raw nachos, and raw soups, salads, pizzas, and veggie burgers.

“I wanted to smack John for talking trash to the other cast members during the challenge. Just because he is a vegetarian doesn’t mean he can call people names that aren’t. Everyone was aware of what they were eating. They did not need him reminding them every ten seconds, and saying how disgusting it is.”

—-Gina, writer for Realitywanted.com, on John Salley’s attitude about the food on a I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here challenge. Salley has had his share of comments bleeped out from television. But when you’re looking at your options of cow tongue or bull testicles, it’s hard to keep your opinion to yourself.

Vegetarian designer Stella McCartney has teamed up with Gap in the GapKids and babyGap division to offer more affordable designer baby clothing!

“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to build on successful past collaborations with a world class design talent like Stella,” said Marka Hansen, President of Gap brand. “I’m looking forward to offering our GapKids and babyGap customers her unique interpretation of Gap’s casual American aesthetic. Her experience as a parent and designer are sure to delight both kids and parents alike.”

Stella cites her desire to create fashions that are more affordable than traditional designer wear, especially considering the current state of the economy.

“I believe that kids clothing should be more accessibly priced, which is particularly important at the moment given the current climate,” said McCartney.

Expect to see fur-free, leather free designs rolled out for your fashionista baby by the end of the year.

If school officials need to do anything about the curriculum, they should include more nutrition classes!

Specifically, students should spend an entire semester learning what constitutes vegetarian, vegan, and whatever else in between. Because not knowing is just as bad as not picking out the largest continent on the map!

Russell Simmons recently attended a dinner while taking care of business for his Children Uniting Nations (CUN), a nonprofit for at-risk and foster youth in partnership with his Hip Hop Summit Action Network.

When a publicist found out Simmons was vegan, she stated, “Well, he can eat the lobster.”

Uh, heck no, those lobsters don’t grow in the ground!

It’s understandable not to expect non vegs to know how to make nacho cheese with nutritional yeast, but if it moves in a tank and pinches you when you tick it off, how can you not know that’s not vegan?

Simmons eventually got a vegetable pasta entree prepared for him at Teatro Goldini, but he still had to bend his veganism a little to keep from starving.

“I don’t normally eat pasta because it comes from eggs, but sometimes you have to.”

Yeah, especially when the only other vegan option is lobster.

If vegan ice cream is the baddest, then coconut vegan ice cream is superbad!

Martha MacIsaac, who played the love interest of Michael Cera in Superbad, has confessed to some serious love for vegan coconut ice cream.

“The most delicious ice cream of all time,” she said.

Could Martha’s spoon be permanently stuck in a carton of Purely Decadent Vegan Ice Cream made with coconut milk?

There are numerous flavors to choose from, including Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl, Coconut, Cookie Dough, Mint Chip, Mocha Almond Fudge, Passionate Mango, and Vanilla Bean.

Martha would love to have a night alone with British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.

“I would want to invite a really great cook. So, maybe I would have Jamie Oliver to cook a nice vegetarian meal and teach me as he cooked.”

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.

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.
