Susan Boyle became an overnight superstar after appearing on the UK competition show, Britain’s Got Talent.

Looking what some called plain and homely on the outside, Susan stunned every audience member with her majestic singing voice. To get the experience the Brits got that evening, watch the video.

As soon as a star is born, she’s bombarded by people looking to make her over, and Susan is no exception. The photos above show what the Chicago Tribune published as an example of what Susan can do with her outward appearance.

The LA Times blog got wind of this and said no way! Leave Susan the way she is.

“Don’t put Susan on a portion-controlled vegan diet, send her to spinning classes and celebrity fitness Boot Camps and give her veneers, a faux tan, a personal trainer, a makeup artist and a personal stylist.”

“And no expensive Sally Hershberger highlights and haircuts, please!”

At the Veg Star, we’re all about be yourself, but we have to disagree with one thing: Let Susan be vegan!

Amazing Race’s Mike White Went Two Days Without Solid Food

The Amazing Race has a history of not being a very kind race for vegetarians, and this season’s show proved no different.

Mike White was the poster boy for veganism on the show. His father and race partner, Mel, told Buddy TV.com Mike had a hard time finding vegan food.

“Mike is a vegan, and there was hardly any food that he could eat along the way and he didn’t compromise, so there were times where he hadn’t eaten for two days, anything solid,” Mel White said.

Mike White is a successful writer, who’s credits include Nacho Libre and School of Rock.

Last year, vegetarian contestant Terence Gerchberg attempted to eat sheep in an eating challenge, but lost-both the contest and his ability to keep the food down.

A vegetarian last year. A vegan this year. Clearly this isn’t something novel to Amazing Race, nor is a meatless eater novel to reality TV. Is it time the producers of these shows make reasonable accommodations for contestants with dietary preferences?
