Vegetarian Star

Not only does Katherine Jenkins try to stick to a vegetarian diet to keep her energy up for her performances, she also avoid dairy, which she feels reduces the presence of catarrh and mucus, two substances that negatively affect the voice.

Along with alcohol and coffee, some sources rank dairy right up  there with things to avoid consuming before giving your Grammy award winning performance.

The Associated Content put it this way:

“It can feel soothing to your voice to drink a large, cool glass of milk, which makes it all the more perplexing that milk is bad for your singing voice. Milk won’t damage your vocal cords, permanently or otherwise, or restrict your vocal range, unless of course it’s really, really cold. What milk will do is create a thick layer of phlegm that will make you sound disgusting. Any dairy product, in fact, has this effect. If you drink dairy before singing, follow it up with a lot of water to wash out some of the phlegm. In a live setting, you’ll get away with it, although you may not be so lucky in a recording studio.”

If you’re a vocal performer, maybe you and the cows can sing better if you just say “No” to milk.

Katherine Jenkins is releasing a new album, Believe, on October 27 2009 and the mezzo soprano singer is probably ready to dodge the bullet of rumors regarding her off stage personality any minute now.

In the past, some have labeled her demanding and difficult.

“I am definitely not a diva,” she said.

Oh, good. And she’s no assault by cell phone Naomi Campbell either.

“For starters I have never thrown a mobile phone at anyone. It is so not me to do something like that. I would never ever.”

“There is always a grain of truth in things that are written, like me ordering a vegetarian meal. But I’ve been a veggie for three years, so what else would I eat? My mum would sort me out if she thought I was acting up – and give me a good slap.”

Katherine took some heat from vegetarians when she agreed to sing at Harrod’s Department Store, the same store that Leona Lewis turned down to open, because it sells fur.

Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins upset quite a few anti-fur protesters recently when she agreed to perform at the opening of a Harrods sale.

Yes, Harrods, the same department store Leona Lewis refused to sing at because the store sells fur and Leona is a staunch vegetarian.

But wait, so is Katherine Jenkins.

“I was very excited to join the sales,” Jenkins said. “I am a girl’s girl, so obviously this is my idea of fun. Personally, I do not eat meat or wear fur, but people are entitled to their opinions.”

Or perhaps she was very excited to join the sales money. Lewis’ offer to open a previous Harrods sale was worth over a million dollars. It’s not known what Jenkins was payed for her performance.

Jenkins was also quoted as saying she vowed not to let the animal rights protesters “dampen everyone’s fun,” which most certainly didn’t win her any more points with the anti-fur group.

“If people choose to buy fur items that is their prerogative. She was simply opening a sale at a store that sells fur items,” a spokesperson for Jenkins said.

According to John Wilson, member of the Coalition to Abolish Fur Trade, Harrods is the only major department store in the UK to sell imported fur, much of which comes from China where animals are housed in deplorable conditions and rabbits are often skinned alive.
