The “crown” that AFI’s Hunter Burgan is wearing since he became Vegan Ambassador for MacBeth shoes might be a little too tight.

Burgan recently blogged about what his future duties will include as Vegan Ambassador, and claims he has so much experience with leadership, he was even a write in candidate for President in this past election.

“When I was first approached about this distinguished position, I asked myself, “Hunter, do you have what it takes to be an ambassador?” to which I replied, “Yes, I do.” As you probably already know, I’m no stranger to powerful political positions. I was the 8th grade student council vice president, so I think I know quite a bit about this type of thing. I also know for a fact that in the recent presidential election I received at least one write-in vote.”

“Another responsibility that I assume I have as the Vegan Ambassador is meeting with foreign diplomats about vegan matters. No one has said anything specifically about this, but since this is the FIRST definition that came up for ambassador, I’m going to assume this is also part of my job. There are still many countries that have not heard of Macbeth, or do not understand what vegan means. This is where I come in. I also play an important role in creating new and better vegan foreign policy.”

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to take the company jet to an important meeting with the Turkish ambassador to Chile. My plan is to convince him to make chili with tofu instead of turkey.”

The Best of Raw poll brought to our attention that vegan raw chef Ani Phyo swept several categories like Amy Winehouse took Grammies at last year’s awards ceremony.

However, we neglected to inform you that one of our favorite raw vegan men, Jason Mraz, took home his vegetable statue as well. Mraz was voted the number one raw vegan musician!

Remember, if you’re writing to congratulate him, do so on poop paper only, please.

We took a good glance over the list to see if there was any other celebrity we left out and we think we’ve got it covered.

But just in case we don’t, view the list yourself and see who else was raw enough.

Singer Patrick Stump is for those who like submissive types, as he won’t even speak up to get a good vegetarian meal, settling for the mundane salad. Drummer Andy Hurley looks exciting with his tattoos, but truth be told, he’s just a non-eventful straight edge who likes to make up health drinks in his spare time. Blah! But still, which member of Fall Out Boy would you…

Not happy with band mate Davey Havok hogging all the vegan fashion spotlight with his Zu Boutique designer clothing, AFI bassist Hunter Burgan has agreed to be the Vegan Ambassador for MacBeth Shoes.

MacBeth has “crowned” him Vegan Ambassador and announced the news that he is designing another vegan shoe for the line.

Wonder if there is serious catty competition among the boys lately?

In a statement, MacBeth said:

“Burgan’s dedication to vegan ideals and his friendship with Macbeth have already helped build the Macbeth Vegan program into what it is today. Burgan will be the face and focus of Macbeth’s Vegan program, involved in all things vegan related, from hosting a new vegan blog to helping with design, and everything in between.”

The shoe, aptly titled, “The Hunter,” was designed to be not only pretty, but functional as well.

“Burgan’s design goal for his second Studio Project was to create a vegan high top that is the perfect marriage between fashion and function. He needs a shoe that provides ankle support for his active live performances, but also wanted something that reflects his sophisticated design aesthetic.”

Burgan’s pretty/practical high top is scheduled to be available globally in February. By then, Davey will have a new T-shirt out and one-upped him.

Remember Anthony Kiedis’ personal vegan chef, Laura Dakin, he hired last year? She’s now working on the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s “Whale Wars” boat, Steve Irwin.

Laura is the gal who makes sure the crew gets three vegan meals a day while fighting Japanese hunters in the Southern Ocean.

She’s the Chief Cook on board and has held this position since 2005. Guess Anthony’s had to share her vegan food lovin’!

She’s got the seas in her blood-her father was an Australian Naval Officer.

You gotta wonder how poor Anthony gets by in the kitchen when Laura’s performing her duties at sea.

For more information on the rest of the crew, which actress Daryl Hannah joined, visit the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

Update: Some sources say he locked his keys in his car in a Wendy’s Parking Lot and gave into a chicken sandwich. Some say Dairy Queen. If anyone can verify the exact meat wh*re he solicited that night, we’d like to set the record straight. Currently, there are no financial prizes, but you’ll be rewarded with pride and joy. 

Joe Trohman, lead guitarist for the musical group Fall Out Boy, isn’t a vegetarian or vegan like bandmates Andy Hurley and Patrick Stump.

But there was a time.

He is often quoted as saying he used to be vegetarian. Then one day he found himself in a Dairy Queen parking lot. The rest is carnivore history.

He sure could use an Andy Hurley shake.

Bollywood actor Rajneesh Duggal was stuck eating veggies and rice every day after discovering France wasn’t the vegetarian mecca of the world during his visit.

He’s not the only one who feels the pain of trying to stick to your eating habits while overseas.

Larry Mullen, Jr., drummer for the band U2, described the food as being less than pleasant when he visited Morocco years ago.

“Bono had been talking about this religious festival and he mentioned it to me, thinking that I’d shoot it down. And I said, “Actually, that’s a good idea, I’d like to go back to Morocco.” The last time I was there the food was shite. I was vegetarian, full-blown, verging on vegan, and so it was a difficult time. But underneath all the cultural shock I enjoyed it. So i was happy to go back. I felt musically it would be a very good thing.”

If Newton’s 3rd Law applies to news, then if we bring you the Best Of Veggie 2008, ultimately, we have to discuss the worst. And they’re really bad. But in order of fairness, here goes…

#5: Andre 3000 Is Cheap-After bending over backwards to get him a vegan meal prepared, Andre’s waiter didn’t even get tipped! The carnis already say we’re weird and demanding. Now they’re gonna call us cheap. Thanks Andre.

#4:Amazing Race Sheep Butt Eating Incident-Vegetarian Terence Gerchberg was athletic, smart, and a promising part of the duo Terence and Sarah on Amazing Race this past season. So sad that he got taken out by sheep ass.

#3: Paula Deen’s Ham Delivery-25,000 pounds of pork nastiness delivered in the name of charity. At least we got Heather Mills donating veggie burgers to balance off this Karma.

#2: Gordon Ramsay Vegetarian Children Nightmare-The celebrity chef said his worst fear is one of his children coming home and telling him he or she is a vegetarian. In fact, this would cause Ramsay so much distress, he said he would promptly put them on a fence and electrocute them. Nice.

#1: Sarah Palin Thanksgiving Turkey Slaughter-Palin gave the meaning of “know where your food is coming from” a whole different twist as she did an interview with turkeys getting killed just over her shoulder. Wonder how many converted (to vegetarianism) after seeing this, uh, miracle?
