Gym Class Heroes Travis McCoy Prefers Bunny Ears To Bunny Fur

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 12th, 2009 in Male Singers.

GYMCLASSadNEWTravis McCoy, front man for the musical group, Gym Class Heroes, likes his bunnies. And we’re not talking about Playboy bunnies (but he may like those too).

The vegetarian singer is starring in a PETA ad against fur.

“Bunny Ears, Not Bunny Fur,” is a playful way for Travis to encourage people not to wear real fur made from animals such as rabbits, which often comes from countries with few to no animal welfare standards, resulting in horrible treatment for the animals such as being skinned alive.

Not to mention how rude it is to take someone else’s coat!

Travis’s ex-girlfriend, Katy Perry, had said her New Year’s Resolution was to be vegetarian, but it was probably out of reach because she liked chicken too much. Unfortunately, because of the break up, she won’t even have this veg man to encourage her.

Sigh…Ending relationships can have devastating effects.

Kristen Bell Doesn’t Flex Mussels With Friends

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 12th, 2009 in Actresses.

The Alzheimer's Association's 17th Annual

We already know that Kristen Bell doesn’t mind sharing company with omnivores. She doesn’t even mind sharing her crockpot with their food.

So it’s no surprise that she was seen out and about with friends at a seafood restaurant in New York, Flex Mussels.

Her friends ate way too much sea kitten, but Kristen helped herself to a helping a Flex fries.

Everyone in the group got to enjoy the same dessert-homemade donuts to go.

Wonder if Kristen thought about speaking up and going to a different restaurant with more vegetarian options? Looks like she got caught in a Patrick Stump steakhouse situation.

Or she could just love those Flex Fries.

Rob Schneider Does The Veggie Bean And Weenies?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Actors, Comedians, Food & Drink.

Is Rob Schneider a vegetarian?

The comedian and actor has had starring roles in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and The Hot Chick and has been a veteran on Saturday Night Live.

A question on RobSchneider.com asked, “If you were to be a spokesperson for a new Hormel food product what would it be for?”

Rob’s answer was, “Vegetarian bean and weenie pockets.” 

Does Rob do veggie? Or does he just like vegetarian products?

If he is veg, and knew about all the alleged Hormel sins, maybe he would have picked another company.

Vegetarian Cicely Tyson Treats Body Like A Car

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Actresses.

Heart Truth - Runway - Fall 09 MBFW

Cicely Tyson isn’t a woman who takes to lying in bed too well. So she does everything she can to stay healthy, which includes following a strict vegetarian diet.

While talking to the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette, the subject of diet came up for the 75-year old actress who’s played roles in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, Roots, and Tyler Perry’s Madea. She’s set to star in the Hallmark Channel original movie, Relative Stranger this weekend.

Q: I understand you are a strict vegetarian, and you keep yourself fit.

A: That’s mainly because I am not a good patient. (Laughing.) I do not like not feeling well. We have a tendency to give all the love and care to material things. I mean, if you have a Rolls-Royce and you pull up to a gasoline station, you don’t put crud in it. You put the most expensive oil and gas in your car. You want it to be treated well in order for it to serve you well. We should start thinking that about this body of ours.

Awesome metaphor, Cicely!

What have you guys been revving up your cars with lately?

Andy Hurley recently showed off his home on MTV Cribs and opened his fridge to show the world a plethora of vegan goodies, what he described as, “Everything a real American needs to eat.”

Wow. Vegan and patriotic. 

So what does this real American Fall Out Boy eat? Silk soy yogurt, Tofutti Cutie Ice Cream Snacks, Amy’s Frozen meals, Earth Balance Vegan Butter, Health is Wealth Vegan Chicken Nuggets, and Vegenaise were just a few of the items the camera caught.

Other veg stars have opened their kitchen to MTV Cribs, including Russell Simmons.

Watch the video and play a “Where’s Waldo” kind of game to count how many vegan items the camera caught in Andy’s fridge. Then tell us how many you found!

Steve-O, born Stephen Glover, was known for pulling  dangerous junior high pranks on the MTV show “Jackass.” Now, he’s back on television, this time doing the rumba, waltz, and other dances with professional partner Lacey Schwimmer on the ABC television series, Dancing With The Stars.

And according to various sources, including his sister, Steve-O will be one vegetarian dancing with the stars.

Several reports from the web, like Steve’s blog, mention that he became vegetarian over the recent years.

He did an anti-fur ad for PETA back in 2007. If your memory fails you, here goes…

Hope Steve is sticking with his veggie diet. Wishing him best of luck on the show.

Amber Benson Twitters Her Veggie Udon Snacking

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 in Actresses, Celebrity Tweets, Food & Drink.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Celebrities are taking full advantage of Twitter these days, serving as their own paparazzi.

Amber Benson, the actress best known for playing Tara Macclay in the TV series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, recently Twittered (or is it Twitted?) what she was chowing down on to get her strength up before a book signing event.

“Eating veggie udon to get my strength up before the 4 o’clock signing at the Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in San Diego.”

Yes, this gal is multi-talented. Actress, writer, film director, and film producer who considers herself one of those “pescetarians,” although she was full time vegetarian for 14 years. 

Amber’s recent Twitter entry makes a little more sense than vegetarian screen star Russell Brand, who humorously claimed to be an inhumanely farmed animal who milked himself, the ingestion of cheese made from his own products rendering him not fully vegan.

KRS-One’s “Beef” Offers Blast From The Past

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 in Male Singers, Videos.

Here it is! A blast from the 90s past and the song behind Afya Ibomu’s mother prompting her to switch her daughter to a vegetarian diet.

If you recall, Afya Ibomu was Erykah Badu’s nutritionist while on tour in 2003, and she has her own vegan soulfood cookbook  out now!

Some lyrics from KRS-One’s “Beef”:

Let us begin now with the cow
The way it gets to your plate and how
The cow doesn’t grow fast enough for man
So though his greed he makes a master plan
He has drugs to make the cow grow quicker
Through the stress, the cow get sicker
21 Different drugs are pumped
Into the cow in one big lump
Just before it dies, it cries in the slaughter full of germs and flies
Off with the head, they’ve packed it, drained it, and cart it
And there it is in your local supermarket
A corpse, neatly packed
And you wonder about heart attacks?
