Vegetarian Star

Gabe Saporta and Travis McCoy were two winners of PETA’s Libby awards this year.

Both veggie men love all things hip hop and take a stand against fur.

Of course, Travis might opt for vegan buffalo wings instead of burgers…

Gabe Saporta hasn’t been able to show his mom he’s the sexiest vegetarian yet, but he takes home the trophy for Favorite Animal Friendly Celebrity in PETA’s Libby awards.

Besides starring in an anti-fur ad, he lent his face to the “Animal Testing Breaks Hearts” campaign for PETA2.

Gabe is a member of Cobra Starship, which won a Libby award for Best Animal Friendly Band.

Heeb magazine has announced its annual list of 100 Jewish movers and shakers in the categories of art, music, fashion, film & tv, media, books, activism, comedy, food, and entrepreneurship.

We’re thrilled to report that two movers and shakers, Gabe Saporta and Amanda Cohen, also shake up the vegetarian community.

The front man for Cobra Starship, Saporta has been nominated for PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Contest several years in a row and starred in a PSA against fur.

Says Heeb of Cohen , founder of Dirt Candy, a vegetarian restaurant in New York City:

“Amanda Cohen, once famous for her buffalo wing recipe, found her true calling in vegetarian cuisine as the chef and owner of Dirt Candy, a vegetable-themed restaurant in New York. But don’t think that all she dishes out are sprout salads and tofu; Cohen is known for delicious snacks like jalapeño hush puppies, kimchi donuts and popcorn pudding.”

Gabe Saporta, vegetarian and frontman for the band Cobra Starship, has a lifesize cardboard cut-out of himself on the Vans Warp Tour.

It’s located under the PETA tent, and will be present at every performance on the entire tour.

Cardboard Gabe is sporting a “Glamour Kills” t-shirt, which highlights the cruelty of animal testing in cosmetics.

Which is ironic, considering Gabe’s never been the “guyliner” type. We’re thinking it’s a more appropriate shirt for oh, let’s say, Davey Havok.

But it’s the message that counts.

Incidentally, do you know if your lipstick, lotion, or other makeup accessory is cruelty-free? Because it would be horrible to do an Ellen DeGeneres move and say you’re a vegetarian or vegan while fronting Cover Girl.

Check out leapbunny.org and find out. The “leaping bunny” can be found on all products where no new animal testing has been used in any phase of the product for the company, its laboratories, or its suppliers.

Gabe Saporta was a contender in PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity contest, but, as we told you earlier, lost to Milo Ventimiglia.

Gabe’s a good sport about it, but is wondering if mom will be disappointed.

On a recent Twitter entry, he wrote @GabrielSaporta:

“i can’t believe i lost sexiest veggie 3 years in a row! what a horrible disappointment. what ever will i tell my mom?”

We’re sure mom is proud of her son, the lead singer in Cobra Starship. After all, you don’t have to be voted the sexiest vegetarian to be an awesome vegetarian citizen.

Gabe’s done his part to stand up for animals, including posing in an anti-fur ad with this cute little bunny.

Mom’s probably got dozens of those posters plastered on the walls at home. And mini ones for the refrigerator.

Rest assured, Gabe. Mom will still love you. And so will your fans.

Citysearch.com is the place to go to find out where all the restaurants, clubs, and hot business you’ll need in whatever city you’re dwelling in or passing through. It never hurts to have a personal recommendation, though, and Cobra Starship hottie Gabe Saporta has given his top picks.

The vegetarian singer who recently posed with a bunny in an anti-fur ad admits he can only eat a couple of meals at the restaurant he’s an investor of, Employees Only, a New York city establishment fashioned after a Prohibition-era speakeasy, where all you see is a psychic you must walk past before approaching a door labeled “Employees Only,” that leads to the food.

He can, however, eat more than a couple of dishes at Red Bamboo in NY.

“I wouldn’t be doing myself justice if I omitted a vegetarian spot from my list (after all, there are only two dishes I can eat at my own restaurant). Veggie food is usually bland and annoyingly health-conscious. Red Bamboo, however, serves veggie ‘soul-food.’ Seriously. Creole soul chicken, Cajun fried shrimp and barbecue buffalo wings–all meatless! Even non-vegetarians will love this food.”

Gabe loves both LA and NY spots, so visit his City Search list to learn the WWGG-Where Would Gabe Go?.

Please excuse our butchering of the beautiful Spanish language, but if it gets your attention to a good cause, it was worth it.

Hottie Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship is cuddling up with one of his favorite bunnies (as good as he looks, he’s gotta be giving Hugh Hefner a run with several) for an anti-fur campaign for PETA.

If you’re wondering where you remember Gabe, it was probably Cobra Starship’s song “Snakes on a plane (Bring It)” for the movie Snakes on a Plane. View the music video for more hottness and refresh your memory.

Back to the cause. Gabe babe is a vegetarian (bonus points) who doesn’t want anyone eating or wearing his little friends, like Thumper, shown here.

If you’d like to own something Gabe and the other band members have touched, enter to win a drumhead used by bandmate Nate Novarro and autographed by everyone in Cobra Starship before January 15th.

You’ll be notified by January 22nd if you’ll have the item laced with all of their lovely DNA.
