Vegetarian Star

Looks like he’s looking for the nearest McDonald’s arch. I bet if we could zoom in, we’d see saliva dribbling down his mouth.

Tommy Lee agreed to go vegetarian as an attempt to win back his ex wife and mother of his children, Pamela Anderson. The plan worked for awhile, but it seems as if his lusting for beef has caused him to be less than faithful to the veg lifestyle.

“There’s been two times now, where I’ve driven by In-N-Out (burger chain) and I’m like, `Pull the damn car over, I need a triple-triple (burger), dude,'” he said. 

Dude, Pammy isn’t going to like that, you know?

We thought he’d at least be smart enough to keep his burger liaisons a secret versus blabbing it to some random reporter.

But what do we know? Perhaps they have a…ahem…open relationship.

So maybe it hasn’t become as famous as, “To Be or Not To Be,” or any other little verses we were forced to memorize in high school. But who knows…a hundred years from now, young pupils may be reciting the great works of Rapper Common and his thoughts on dairy:

“I think and speak clearer since I cut the dairy out. I can breathe better and perform at a better rate, and my voice is clearer. I can explore different things with my voice that I couldn’t do because of my meat and dairy ingestion. I am proud and blessed to be a vegetarian, everything became clear.”

Common, along with other famous and celebrity quotes by people like Kate Bush and Moby, are located at Happy Vegetable.

Our runner up for favorite quote is by a well known doctor, Dr. Neal Barnard, head of the Physicians Committee For Responsible medicine, vegan, and frequent Vegetarian Times contributor who specializes in diabetic research:

“The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of “real food for real people” you’d better live real close to a real good hospital.”

Dear Senator Obama…

“This might be a strange analogy for a vegan to use, but if you want to make an omelet
you have to break a couple of eggs. Start breaking some eggs.”

Vegan Moby decided to write a letter to Senator Obama in the Huffington Post to urge him to fight even harder for an upcoming presidential election victory. His less than warm feelings for McCain are shown by attacking his knowledge of both politics and geography:

“Dear senator Obama: FIGHT BACK. You’re battling a dimwit who doesn’t know the difference between Sunni and Shi’ite, who still refers to countries that ceased to exist in 1993(Czechoslovakia), and who believes that Iraq and Pakistan share a border.”

He’s also a little less than pleased at how the recent Democrats have challenged the G.O.P:

“In 2000 they slandered Al Gore as saying he invented the internet and was an elitist. And he fought back how? Oh, that’s right, he didn’t. And in 2004 they slandered John Kerry by questioning his military service. And he fought back how? Oh, that’s right, he didn’t. And now they’re slandering Obama in a hundred insidious and incorrect ways. And he’s fighting back how? Oh, that’s right, he isn’t.”

Judging from Moby’s criticism, Obama may have to start throwing a few punches to at least make the junior varsity team.

Forrest Kline of the band hellogoodbye, spoke with the Editor of The Los Angeles Loyolan,  newspaper for Loyola Marymount University, where he answered “11 burning questions,” including why on earth anyone would name their kid Forrest:

“My grandpa’s name is Forrest Scott Kline,” he said. “My dad’s name is Scott Forrest Kline. My name is Forrest Scott Kline. They just flip-flopped I guess.”

Now, that we’ve gotten that question out of the way, it’s time to move on to what we feel is a more “hot” question: Why did he become vegan?

“I’ve been vegan for two, maybe three years and I was vegetarian a year before that. I decided to go vegetarian because of moral, animal cruelty kind of reasons. I didn’t want to eat animals. I made a slow transition. I stopped eating red meat. I slowly added more things.”

Although he didn’t say he was straight edge, he does talk of living a pretty clean lifestyle. Although he said his sister, was a “bad influence” when he was in junior high when he did drink alcohol and smoke, he prefers to get his thrills off non-drug sources, like music, now.

“I don’t like the idea of kind of being out of your own head [and] not really knowing what’s going on, that kind of thing, and not being in control. I’m kind of a hands on control [freak]. [I] can’t let go.”

Chris Walla is a vegetarian, but things haven’t always been that way. As a teenager, he made the decision after realizing he was on the verge of eating anywhere from 2-6 hamburgers a day if he didn’t change his diet quick.

These days, it’s more like 2-6 servings of veggies every day and a whole lotta Amy’s Kitchen Frozen Meals, which accompany him while on tour with Death Cab For Cutie.

“They are so wonderful and so easy!  Pretty much everything that company (Amy’s Kitchen) does is pretty great,” said Walla.

He also gives good advice for those who are not quite old enough to make their own food choices.

“It was a bit tricky as a 15-year-old living at home in a household where, you know … my mom and dad were “meat and potatoes” Americans. Their diets consisted of a meat main dish, potatoes and gravy, and a vegetable side–that sort of thing. It’s a little difficult to get through that when you’re so dependent on somebody else for your food. Just know that if it’s something that’s important to you, there will be a point in your life when you’re in control of what you eat and why you eat it.”

With a single out called, “The Geeks were Right,” we had to do our research and check out what else The Faint had to offer.  They are a dance/punk new wave band from Omaha, Nebraska of all places. They were all avid skateboarders growing up, but when member Todd Fink developed knee problems, he turned his focus to music as well as recruiting his friends Dapose, Joel Peterson, Clark Baechle and vegetarian Jacob Thiele.

The band is currently teaming up with PETA and if you go to this website before August 13th, you can enter to win a copy of their latest CD, Fasciinatiion.

Member Jacob Thiele sat down to make a little video for PETA as well, where he discussed his motives for going vegetarian. He said he thinks animals shouldn’t have to die for “something as frivolous as a cheeseburger,” and thinks getting yourself a few good vegetarian and vegan cookbook should help people appreciate what you can get out of a veg lifestyle.

Apparently, he’s pretty convincing. He’s gotten both his grandfather and father, who grew up on a dairy farm, to start drinking soymilk for health reasons. Watch the rest of the video, get yourself some good veg cookbooks, and don’t forget to enter to win the free CD!

Peter Rojas became a millionaire blogger reviewing electronic equipment at Engadget. Some of his latest entrepreneurial adventures include RCRD LBL, which works with record labels and artists to provide free music downloads. His considers his veganism a “very personal thing,” but for someone so personal, he sure exposed a lot of details of what he ate during the week of July 24th-30th to NYMag.

He and fellow vegan Moby also seem to be stalking each other.

“I always see Moby out at vegan restaurants,” Rojas said. “Half the time I go out to eat he’s there.”

Mere coincidence? Rojas stalking Moby? Moby stalking Rojas? Rather than solve the riddle of the (faux) chicken and (mock) egg, we’d rather be stalkers ourselves and bring you voyeuristic pleasure of learning what Rojas had to eat.

“I was out in California for a couple of days on business, and since the guys I was meeting with knew I’m vegan (twelve years!), they took me to Cafe Gratitude, a raw-food place in San Rafael.”

Friday, July 25
“I got the vegetarian bento box.”

Saturday, July 26
“I got the tofu scramble and home fries.”

Sunday, July 27
“I had some granola cereal from Whole Foods…then cooked a massaman curry with tofu and vegetables. I kind of screwed it up by adding too much lime juice to it — not sure what I was thinking.”

Monday, July 28
“I had more cereal for breakfast. Then I made a smoothie for lunch.”

Tuesday, July 29
“I ordered some Moroccan chickpea thing, which was good (but not great), but the real highlights were the stuffed-avocado salad and the totally vegan brownie sundae.”

Wednesday, July 30
“I had the vegetarian meatballs with Thai black rice.”

And what does he think of what the city that never sleeps has to offer its vegan food patrons?

“There’s a pretty good selection of vegan restaurants in New York — it’s really easy. I kind of wish there were a Manhattan equivalent of Foodswings in Brooklyn — it’s a vegan fast-food kind of place with fake chicken, all kinds of fake stuff.”

Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee will marry his sweetheart, Ione Skye in a traditional Hindu ceremony. They will be joined as man and wife by guru Sakthi Narayani Amma, who has apparently served as guidance to Ben for several years.

You might be asking, “Who the heck is Ben Lee?” Such was the question we asked, so we did a little investigation. It’s always fun to learn about celebrities who might not be as well known or more famous in other countries.

You may have heard his song, “Catch My Disease,” on Grey’s Anatomy and television commercials for Dell Computers.

Like many handsome meatless men, he has been nominated as one of PETA’s World’s Sexiest vegetarians. He started his musical career with a band called Noise Addict, but went solo after that band broke up. Past romances include actress Claire Danes. His CD, Ripe, released in 2007, features a guest appearance by veg rocker Benji Madden of Good Charlotte.
