Vegetarian Star

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole was called “brunette Barbie” by Melanie Rickey, fashion editor-at-large of Grazia magazine, because of her beautiful face and doll-like proportions.

The UK Mail on Sunday recently profiled Cheryl’s style from fashion to diet, which is mostly vegetarian, and includes  miso soup and other Japanese dishes because they’re low in fat and dairy.

Cheryl Cole, judge on the UK television show X Factor, learned a hard lesson  Nigella Lawson did not long ago that joking around about animals is not always taking humorously.

Cole made the suggestion during an interview that Nadine Coyle, member of the band Girls Aloud owned a coat made of real fur.

Coyle walked into a store and picked up what she thought was a 500 pound coat (~$700 U.S.) but when she got to the checkout counter, the coat rang up at 5,000 pounds (~$5,000 U.S.) which led Cole to suggest it had to be made of fur.

Here’s a bit from the conversation that took place.

Cheryl: “It must be fur, is it fur?”

Nadine: “It’s fur.”

Cheryl: “There you go, it’s real fur.”

Nadine: “It’s like, er, tiger, like a white and black tiger.”

After animal rights groups heard this, Coyle and her publicists were flooded with calls.

A spokesperson for Coyle and her band said that the ladies were only joking, but he couldn’t confirm the materials in Coyle’s coat.

“You’ll see it’s Cheryl that said it was real fur – Nadine didn’t know what it was made of. Nadine is in America now, so I can’t ask her about the coat but I doubt she knows what it is made of.”

We doubt it was tiger fur, but really, could it have been mink, fox, or any other combination of critters used in the fur industry?

Here’s hoping Nadine just bought an over-priced coat that only celebrities can afford that is completely synthetic.

The UK based music talent search competition, “X Factor,” has some judges on the panel who know how to judge a good diet when they see one.

Danii Minogue, follows a strict organic diet that excludes meat and dairy. And fellow judge Cheryl Cole also follows a mostly vegetarian diet, but eats seafood here and there. For Cole, miso soup and edamame beans have the X factor.

If you remember us telling you, Simon Cowell, king of judging mean and creator of “X Factor” (along with creating the popular series “American Idol”) once tried a vegetarian diet for a week and reported he could not get enough of Linda McCartney’s vegetarian sausages.
