Vegetarian Star

Constance Marie (Angie Lopez on George Lopez) gave birth to baby Luna Marie 4 months ago and she’s looking as good as ever.

She revealed some of her post baby workout secrets to Celebrity Baby Blog along with the fact that she maintains a vegetarian diet, eating salads every evening.

The first reaction to this is yuck! Who wants to munch on overpriced arugula every night? Certainly not Barack Obama!

But vegetarian salads don’t have to be boring and remind you of pet grass.

Chickpeas, beans, and avocado make for lovely toss ins. Mock egg, tuna, or chicken salad imitate picnic favorites or hearty lunch bowls at work or home.

So it’s time to get our salad on! The Veggie Table has a list of every salad a vegetarian could combine with plant proteins and the produce section.

Give it up for deviled tofu, swiss chard with sesame seeds, and winter white bean to name a few.

Check out theveggietable.com for the rest.

June 1st is D-Day for Georges Laraque! Or shall we say V-day…

The Montreal Canadienes hockey player is a vegetarian looking for more excitement. That’s why he’s going vegan at the beginning of next month.

Laraque had previously said he was working on going vegan, but no definite date had been set.

During a recent interview with the Montreal Gazette, Laraque revealed his vegan D-Day!

Wishing him best of luck!

Basketball legend John Salley is set to appear on the NBC reality TV show I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. I’m a Celebrity will feature 10 celebrities trying to survive in the Costa Rican jungle.

Salley is vegan, but doesn’t think that will hurt his chances in the competition. Let’s just hope there aren’t any eating contests involving kangaroo penis like the one that screwed over Timmy Mallet.

From a recent interview with nba.fanhouse.com:

You are also a devout vegan. Do you think that will be a strike against you right off the bat?
No, it’s a strike for me, because I’m really not hungry for fake food – I’m only hungry for real food (laughs). So, I’m not going to miss any of the processed things. I’ve mostly cleared my body of the desire for sugar and plastic food. Plus, I’m a vegan because every day I make sure my body stays as clean as I can possibly get it so I can have a better life. If I have to eat certain things during tasks to get to the ultimate goal, it’s not going to take away from the fact that I’m a vegan. I mean, I’ve prepared my body; so in case anything bad does come to it, I can fight it off.

Salley earned the nickname “Spider Salley” because he is horrified by spiders. His biggest fear is a tarantula, but as long as they’re not on the menu for I’m a Celebrity, he’s cool with it.

“So, I said, ‘You know what? I know it’s in the jungle. As long as I don’t have to eat a live one, I’m cool.'”

Mayim Bialik had the privilege of receiving a makeover compliments of the team at What Not To Wear.

Although Mayim’s said before she’d never call herself completely vegan, she does try to avoid leather. Mayim used to take it a bit further and avoid products that even looked like leather.

From celebrity-babies.com:

“They made me throw out my Doc Martens, but when we went to the vegan shoe store in Manhattan they had vegan Doc Martens, so I may have to indulge! My policy used to be that I didn’t like to wear shoes that looked like leather, even if they weren’t, but I let that go, because my feeling is if they aren’t leather, then it’s OK for them to look leather. I gave them so many limitations with my rules on bold colors, pants, frills, so I figured I’d wear vegan shoes that look like leather.”

Some people refuse to wear fake fur for the same reason. What’s your take on the situation? Should vegetarians and vegans avoid wearing lookalikes because they give the wrong impression?

Amitabh Bachchan is a longtime vegetarian and PETA wants him to encourage others to do so by serving only vegetarian food at an India International Film Academy (IIFA) event in Macau, China next month.

After all, the theme for the event is “Go-Green,” and what environmentalist doesn’t know by now that meat isn’t environmentally friendly.

PETA India chief functionary Anuradha Sawhney sent a letter to Bachchan containing the following statement:

“We were thrilled to hear that this year’s IIFA Awards are going to have a ‘Go Green’ theme, and we commend you for helping to once again draw attention to the global climate crisis. On behalf of PETA India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to serve only green (vegetarian) food at the event.”

“By doing so, you will send a strong message that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits.”

Do you know any environmentalists who really haven’t “gone green all the way” yet? Are they missing the connection between wasted land and energy in raising farm animals for human food consumption (not to mention other animal consumption)?

Get in the game and drop them a little note like the one sent to Bachchan! Some one’s gotta remind them that meat’s not green!

(Singing). There he is. Mr. Twitter Universe.

He’s not quite wearing the crown yet, but Russell Brand is currently in second place for the title of Mr. Twitter Universe. Given his bad boy history, this honor better not be something that can be rescinded at the drop of a scandal, or he’s in big trouble.

A Russell fan has compiled a list of reasons why you should vote for him, which includes his love for animals.

“Russell has been a vegetarian since his teens, is a doting and devoted pet owner to his beloved cat Morrissey, and has twice been named Europe’s Sexiest Vegetarian by PETA. He’s currently in the running for Sexiest Vegetarian Alive – in fact, while you’re at it, pop over and vote Russell Sexiest Vegetarian Alive, too.”

Of course, Russell also has his own troupe of strippers @BrandyStrippers, so you know he’s the best man for the job.  

Don’t forget to vote for Russell and read the entire top 10 list of reasons to vote for Russell as Mr. Twitter Universe at RussellBrandlove.com.

Taking Back Sunday is about to release their newest album, New Again, on June 2nd.

Popwreckoning got a chance to chat with guitarist and back up vocalist Matthew Fazzi (shown on the right) before he jammed at a show in Kansas City.

Fazzi must work up an appetite during shows, because he was asking about checking out vegetarian restaurants afterwards.

PW: Well, you’ll have to be sure to check out the city after the show.
MF: Yeah! Do you have any suggestions?
PW: What do you like to do?
MF: I’m vegetarian, so if you know any vegetarian places that would be great. Parks, historical landmarks…

Of course, if Fazzi has an iphone (and like, OMG, who doesn’t?), he can install the VegOut application that lets you search for vegetarian and vegan restaurants and stores in any city or state.

VegOut was created by Champ Bennett, another musician and software designer on the side, after he found finding somewhere to eat in Europe a royal pain.

Musicians know best, Matthew. Take it from someone in the club and get VegOut already!

Update: Photo has been updated. Thanks guys.

We learned earlier that Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr partook in some serious hamburger whoredom after taking a decade vow of meat celibacy.

We were disappointed this ex-vegetarian was so delighted at tasting meat in 10 years that she described it as “orgasmic,” so it comes as an even bigger blow that another Gossip Girl star, Chace Crawford, has also recently expressed his love for a Big Mac.

In the June issue of InStyle magazine, Chace was quoted as saying, “There’s nothing sexier than a Big Mac. I don’t eat a lot of them, but it’s just a whole complete package.”

Just what is so sexy about grilled bloody flesh, cholesterol card carrying mayonnaise, and a slice of cheese manufactured from milk taken from a whored-out dairy cow that will ultimately get the ax once a younger, sexier heifer who can birth a calf and produce milk comes along?

If you hear the gossip as to why the cast is so darn carnivorous, let us know.
