Vegetarian Star

Ozzy Osbourne has joined us by embracing a mostly vegetarian diet, but he doesn’t have the kindest words to say about organic food prices.

“If you can feed a big family a bucket of KFC for 10 bucks then you’ll do that. Not everyone can afford the healthy, organic shit they say were meant to eat.”

He’s got a good point. Chowhound did a little experiment to assess the cost difference between eating conventional and eating organic on a week’s worth of groceries. The total cost of the conventional shopping list came to $136.31 while the cost of the organic totaled $199.78–about $65 more.

Ozzy Osbourne has a disgusting history with animals (biting off doves’ and bats’ heads, throwing meat at the crowd) during his performance history, but thanks to a little movie called Food Inc., these days he’s more into biting the heads of lettuce. Not that he’s doing this for animal rights reasons, which you’ll learn.

The Prince of Darkness told the Times Online he’s mostly vegetarian, and thinks the way meat is raised today is enough to turn people away from eating it.

“It’s my new phase: brown rice and vegetables. I don’t even drink milk, apart from a splash in my tea. It ain’t because of the animals. I mean, I used to work in a slaughterhouse. You won’t see me marching over the frozen tundra, hunting down people who club seals. I just can’t digest meat any more. ”

Nikki Sixx, the founder, bassist and songwriter from the 80s metal band Motley Crue, has launched an entertainment show into national syndication, Sixx Sense.

According to a press release, Sixx will discuss, “music and lifestyle topics as he gives listeners a backstage look at the world and mind of a rock star.”

At 51, Sixx is kinda old. Does even qualify to comment on the life of a rock star?

At any rate, he will co-host the show with Kerri Kasem, daughter of radio personality Casey Kasem.

In an interview with USA Today, Sixx described how he and Sherri differ.

“We were talking about a band that was honored by PETA. And Kerri was excited about that because she’s a vegan. And she had to make sure I knew that I would never get that honor. She was like, “You collect dead things.” I have taxidermy everywhere and I wear leather. Also, she’s into Japanese bikes and I’m into Harley-Davidsons.”

So far Sixx has interviews lined up with George Lopez, Ozzy Osbourne and Dog The Bounty Hunter.

Any chance of getting a vegetarian on the show to introduce Sixx to coffee with soy creamer and vegan donuts?

Sixx Sense with Nikki Sense can be heard Monday through Friday, 7PM-midnight on over 30 rock and alternative radio stations.
