Kid Rock Ready To Roll With PETA Over His Fur Collection

Kid Rock likes his fur. And he’s sick of PETA telling him he should do otherwise. Apparently, their anti-fur campaigns are fightin’ words.

“I want to go to war with PETA. My biggest extravagance is fur coats – I’ve got every kind of animal in my wardrobe,” he told Britain’s Mail.

We think he not only has every animal in his wardrobe, but his own laboratory as well, where he makes hybrid animals when he runs out of ideas. He loves fur and hunting so much, it’s rumored that’s why he and vegan, PETA supporting Pamela Anderson got divorced.

Now, the musician whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, is begging for some action from the animal rights group, hoping he’ll get a little flour thrown in his face soon. Or at least some red paint.

“I’m just willing the animal rights protesters to chuck some red paint on me. I understand people’s problems with it but to throw paint on someone is just wrong.”

Plus, those poor, helpless, actresses are so defenseless and cannot fight off the big bad PETA wolf.

“They do it to little Hollywood actresses who can’t defend themselves,” he said.

When a celebrity is this brazen against animal rights, PETA usually responds by sending them “a nice letter,” and information on why they should change their ways.

Since they have his ex-wife Pamela working for them, things could get nasty. It’s quite possible her theory of why men hunt was conceived during her relationship with him.

Radiohead Perfom At Victoria Park In London

Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who’s the greenest of them all?

Vegetarianism and environmentalism go hand in hand. You really can’t discuss being eco-friendly without at least talking about reducing meat consumption.

So it’s no surprise that several known vegetarians as well as some rumored vegetarians have popped up on the Coventry Telegraph list of greenest celebrities.

There’s vegan Thom Yorke of Radiohead, who refused to play in Glastonbury earlier this year, because the city had poor public transportation and he and the band felt that was damaging to the environment.

Vegan Alicia Silverstone has long supported PETA, but also has her own organic vegetable garden in the yard of her solar powered home she shares with her husband.

Natalie Portman attempted to make things greener for shoe fashionistas by starting her own vegan shoe line and donating a portion of the profits to charity. Although Te Casan closed shop, she still leads by example, never failing to let the media know she’s vegan, and filmed a video for National Geographic about how replacing regular light bulbs with energy saving light bulbs would have the environmental impact of taking millions of cars off the road.

Read about what the other celebs that made the list, including Brad Pitt, Leonardo Di Caprio, and Jack Johnson are doing at the Coventry Telegraph.

Why Throwing Rubber Meat At Vegan Moby Won’t Suck

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, December 7th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Rosario Dawson hosts The 2008 Willow Awards to benefit the Lower Eastside Girls Club

The horror/comedy film Suck, which vegan musician Moby has a role in, has just completed a few days of filming in Toronto.

As we told you earlier, the story is about a loser band that meets a vampire that while changes their fame and make others lust after them, results in their insatiable lust cravings for blood as well.

Since there is so much blood and guts in the film, you might wonder what kinds of props they’re using. Rest assured, Moby’s not down with being covered in real meat.

Suck’s production crew had fake beef created from latex rubber and foam, then dripped in fake blood.

The latex beef will be thrown at Moby’s character, Beef Ballow, lead singer of a band called Secretaries of Steak. Secretaries of Steak is a rival band to the loser band, The Winners, who’s luck improves after meeting the vampire.

Other stars in the film include Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, and Henry Rollins.

Andy Hurley’s Vegan, Straight-Edgeness Keeps Tabloids Away

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, December 6th, 2008 in Male Musicians.

MTV Presents

The media likes to rip on celebrities, and with the band Fall Out Boy, it seems Pete Wentz is the favorite whipping boy. But what if it were drummer Andy Hurley? What would the tabloids have to say about him? Nothing much, according to Hurley. In an interview with College Times:

“I’m vegan straight-edge, so I’m never going to be stumbling out of a bar drunk. Maybe I’ll trip and fall once, and somebody will get a funny picture of it. When I’m home – I live in Milwaukee – and no one cares in the first place, but I pretty much just go to movies and go eat and play Call of Duty with my friends.”

No, there’s not really much you can write about if you want to trash Andy. But rest assured, if we hear of anything, we’ll tell you. If we ever catch him ingesting butter…

Who Would You: Mark Ruffalo Or Moby

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 in Actors, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Mark Ruffalo is of Italian descent. Moby lives in New York’s Little Italy. Doesn’t matter where you’re eating, though, ’cause “When in Rome…” you can always adapt, unless you only have Shopska Salad to choose from. Most importantly, who would you..

Boo To Wu: Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot Contains Suede

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 in Bands, Fashion, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Not So Vegetarian.

Giancarlo Esposito teams with Subaru to debut his new film Gospel Hill at the 2008 Democratic Convention

No thumbs up on this one, RZA.

Most members of the Wu-Tang Clan hip hop group are either vegetarian (RZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Masta Killa) or have been outspoken on animal rights issues in the past (GZA). So when the group collaborated with Fila shoes to produce a shoe with their name branded on it, the Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot, you’d think it’d be cruelty free as well. No such luck.

Along with it’s “molded rubberized vamp, d-ring lacing system and padded ankle collars,” the Wu-Tang Weather Tech Boot contains an “oiled suede upper.” Boo to the Wu!

So while we were hoping RZA and his boys would follow the steps of other veggie metrosexual men and associate himself with a vegan shoe, like Frank Iero and his MacBeth’s, he’s let us down this time. This is even grosser than his veggie burger with fried egg on waffles.

Thanks Vegblog

Paul McCartney Cooks Mashed Potatoes While Fighting Glovey

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Recipes, Videos.

Celebs at Stella McCartney Fashion Show - Paris

Move over Gordon Ramsay. Paul McCartney has officially scored another point in the Ramsay-McCartney meatoff, showing he can cook too. And amazingly, he used no profanity. Not even during his fight with Glovey.

Watch the video showing Paul McCartney teaching you how to make homemade mashed potatoes his way-from scratch! He advocates using non-hydrogenated margarine because it’s healthier, but says the amount you put in depends on how “naughty,” you want to be.

This recipe is taken from his late wife, Linda’s cookbook. Here’s a link to a couple of other recipes from her book.

This can be veganized as Paul says you can use soymilk in place of regular milk. Pay extra attention at minute 4:00 when Paul gets into a scuffle with his oven glove, Glovey.

Vegan Moby Plays Secretary Of Steak In Vampire Film “Suck”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Australia New York Premiere - Red Carpet

Vegetarian vampires are the happening thing these days, and one vegan vampire wants to get his 15 minutes of blood sucking fame before the fad ends.

Moby, a vegan, is set to play the frontman for a band called, “Secretaries of Steak,” (vegan pun, ha, ha, ha) in the upcoming vampire horror/comedy film Suck.

Suck follows the adventures of a band not doing so hot, but still calls itself The Winners. Their luck changes when they happen to meet a vampire (in the real world these same creatures are called agents) who gives them a chance at rock and roll, as well as other kinds of immortality. Of course, there’s the inevitable blood cravings. The Secretaries of Steak are a rival band to the Winners. Get ’em Moby!

Other notables include meat shunning Henry Rollins, who plays a radio host, Dimitri Coats of the indie band Burning Brides as the vampire, Iggy Pop as music producer, and Alice Cooper as a blood sucking bartender.

Oh, yeah. Can’t wait to watch Moby get his vegan vampire on!
