Vegetarian Star

Here at Veg Star, we go giggity, giggity, goo over celebrity sightings in veg restaurants.

The latest sighting comes from the Starwatch section of nbclosangeles.com.

Heather Mills was spied having a meal at L.A.’s Vegan Glory with daughter Beatrice and a “male friend” who we’ll assume is Jamie Walker.

Hmm…Does this mean Heather has talked the meat loving Jamie into going veg?

“They seemed to be in good spirits,” the source said. “Beatrice was singing all throughout the meal.”

Vegan Glory food sounds like a supper to sing for!

Not that we are encouraging anyone to gawk at Heather Mills‘ chest, but if you look closely at the shirt she’s wearing in this picture, you’ll see the phrase, “Vegan” and “No body gets hurt.”

Heather wore this lovely piece of fashion recently while on site at her new vegan restaurant, currently the old Big Fish cafe, near her home in the UK.

So not everyone is excited that Heather Mills bought Big Fish Cafe, took the fish off the menu, fired the old employees, and plans to turn it into a vegan restaurant.

From a UK Guardian article titled, “How to be…A celebrity restaurateur”:

“First, remind everyone of the famously vegan status of your famous ex-husband’s beloved first wife. Next, buy up a local fishy concern and announce your intention to remove fish from the menu entirely. Get some nice press shots done of you in chef whites and make some grand pronouncements about how this will be the first in an international chain of vegan splendour. Finally, relax in the knowledge that no one eats in a restaurant merely sponsored by a non-famous civilian dum-di-dum with a piffling passion for food but with no actual history for paparazzi-titillating behaviour. Smile gamely when asked if you intend to throw a glass of water over the heads of hostile food critics.”

Safe to say the UK Guardian isn’t cheering for Heather’s new unfishy restaurant. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But we gotta check the Guardian on their facts. Linda McCartney was vegetarian, not vegan.

Update: There is no burger deal. Not yet, anyway.

Heather Mills has signed a veggie whopper of a deal.

Paul McCartney’s ex, who has been busy teaching families in the Bronx how to cook and eat vegan through her Hunts Point Alliance Charity, has agreed to back the launch of a new meat-free burger at Burger King.

The patty will be featured at over 11,000 Burger Kings nationwide and folks will be able to have it their way, Heather’s way. 

Heather will be paid £3 million, which is a little over $4 million US dollars, to promote Burger King’s veggie fare.

Burger King currently offers the BK Veggie Burger at some of its restaurants, so we’re not sure if the BK is staying or being replaced by a new, chic Heather burger.

A source told The People: “Heather is ecstatic. She believes she can change the eating habits of millions. She’s also being paid a lot of money and the deal will help boost her standing.”

This news comes just shortly after we learn Heather has bought an old fish restaurant in the UK and plans to turn it into a vegan eatery.

The long awaited Heather Mills’ food line may have just arrived.

Paul McCartney’s ex wife has purchased a popular fish restaurant near her home in East Sussex, Big Fish Cafe, and is turning it into a vegan restaurant.

The eatery is thought to be the first in a worldwide chain she has talked about starting for some time.

Heather had dined at Big Fish Cafe in the past with daughter Beatrice, and even while she was still married to Paul, where they would have veggie breakfasts with soya milk tea, according to former owner Nick Short.

Short claims Mills bought the place for less than what was originally agreed, which was blamed on the current credit crunch.

“I have been well and truly worked over by Heather,” he told the UK Daily Mail.

One more sour flavor to add to the tartar sauce: Heather doesn’t have plans to hire the two full time and four part time staff, so Short was forced to lay them off.

Kudos to Heather for getting her vegan restaurant off the ground. But we have to say, in this economy, couldn’t she have shown some veggie love and kept the workers already there. After all, what better way to spread the veg news than to teach an old cook some new vegan tricks?

Heather Mills has been racking up the frequent flier miles taking trips from London to the U.S. and back.

According to the UK Daily Mail, Heather is interested in building a vegan food factory in the Bronx to help bring jobs to the impoverished area in which she is promoting her vegan charity with Hunts Point Alliance.

Heather has already donated a million dollars worth of vegan food and given vegan cooking lessons to families in the area.

We’ve been hearing lots of rumors on Heather’s vegan food factory from where it might be located to the brand name of the products to what ingredients she’ll be using.

Nothing is definite yet, but one thing’s for sure: we’re tired of waiting!

The story we posted about Kristen Bell cooking chicken in her crock pot for her roommates even though she herself is a vegetarian makes for some discussion: Do you think most vegetarians are opposed to cooking meat, even when it’s for someone they know personally? What if a vegetarian had a company or employees to look after? Would all the company parties be veg?

When Heather Mills treated the staff of builders on her Sussex home to a Christmas feast,  the workers were a little disappointed to learn the meal was vegan.

Monster and Critics reported one of them saying, “We couldn’t believe we were getting a slap-up meal. But it’s all strictly vegetarian – they’ve just shaped the stuff to look like turkey. What’s the point of that?”

The workers took it all in good stride, since Heather was at least serving enough alcohol for them to wash the Tofurky taste from their mouths.

“We will choke it down. After all, Heather’s not against alcohol. Apparently there’s going to be plenty to drink.”

Heather is a staunch vegan, so it would have been strange to hear she was serving meat for them. But what about the rest of you? If you were in Heather’s position, or if you were treating a staff of your employees or contractors, would you force the vegginess on them for that meal?

Heather Mills was a busy woman in New York this past weekend, giving vegan cooking demonstrations and lessons to families and children living in the Bronx.

Before she put on her chef hat, Heather made a stop by “The Today Show.” If you haven’t already watched the video of her chatting with Matt Lauer, Al Roker (who is also a chef), and the crew, it’s something you don’t want to miss.

As part of her ongoing efforts to contribute to her charity to Hunts Point Alliance for Children (HPAC), Heather taught families of children of John V. Lindsay Charter School how to prepare healthy, vegan food.

The meals will also be served at the “No Beef Teen Cafes” run by HPAC and other community organizations. The community Heather is working with is considered to have one of the highest rates of diabetes and asthma and many living in poverty.

“As a mother I see firsthand the benefits of healthy eating and I’m thrilled the families of Hunts Point are embracing these delicious vegan foods that I’ve loved for so many years” Mills said. “Working with these children here is truly rewarding and a lot of fun.”

Last year, Heather donated a million dollars worth of vegan food to Hunts Point Children Alliance.
