AFI’s Hunter Burgan Is Cover Boy For MacBeth Vegan Shoes

KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas - Day 1

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?

The Hunter

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.

“Muhammad Ali. He’d probably be vegetarian. He would certainly not eat pork, so I’d probably serve some sort of vegetarian food and I’d have it blessed by every manner of priest by every religion under the sun.”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

4th Annual MusiCares Benefit Concert - Arrivals

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.

Alanis Morissette’s Vegan Now: You Oughta Know!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, January 3rd, 2009 in Female Musicians, Female Singers.

Alanis Morissette Performs At The Hard Rock

Cause she’s got one hand in her pocket, and the other one grabbing a soy milk.

Once upon a time, Canadian diva Alanis Morissette was a strict vegetarian. Then she started to indulge in processed food here and there thinking as long as she kept everything in moderation, she’d be okay.

Fast forward 20 pounds later and feeling sluggish in the morning, Alanis decided it was time to go back, this time going all the way to being vegan.

She followed an eating plan outlined in the book Eat to Live, by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a physician associated with the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, which recommends shunning meat and dairy.

She spoke to Ok! Magazine about her new body which she said makes her feel 12 years old again about how she happened to discover Dr. Fuhrman’s book.

“I went to my favorite bookstore, Banyen Books and Sound, in Vancouver. I saw this book, Eat to Live, and I thought, that’s exactly what I want to do. I wasn’t interested in some fad diet that was unsustainable, like “lose 10 pounds in two weeks.” I don’t believe in diets; I think they’re short-term and a bit of an emotional roller-coaster. So I opened it and flipped through and thought the weight loss is incidental. The primary focus is disease prevention.”

Read Alanis’ entire interview with Ok! Magazine.

Meatless Mouthful: Moby Says The Times They Are A-Changin’

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 31st, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers, Meatless Mouthful.

2008 mtvU Woodie Awards - Backstage

“When I was a vegan 15 or 20 years ago, it was a lot more difficult. First of all, no one knew what the word “vegan” meant and there weren’t very many [veg] restaurants. When it came to traveling it was especially hard, but now almost every decent-sized city has health-food stores and vegetarian restaurants; people do seem a lot more receptive to the notion of someone being a vegan now than they were 20 years ago.”

—-Vegan musician Moby, in an interview with Veg News on how the world has become more accepting of a vegan diet.

It’s no secret vegan musician Nellie McKay likes junk food, from calling herself a “junkatarian” to her theory that more vegan junk food would convert people to veganism. In this video from her Uncensored Interview set, she lists her favorite restaurants, which, ironically, don’t sound as if they’re serving junk at all. Veggie Paradise 2, the veggie burger at Better Burger, and even the Chipotle Burritos are on her fave list.

Rocker Bryan Adams Exposes His Refrigerator To Rachael Ray

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Peace One Day - Stage Performances

Bryan Adams exposed himself to Rachael Ray. Geez, we thought he was a gentleman.

Actually, he still is. He just opened his refrigerator to the celebrity chef for her Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine in the December/January 2009 issue, where you’ll also find his favorite Pineapple-Ginger juice recipe, which he drinks every morning.

His fridge is obviously stocked similar to what we told you was in his shopping cart, such as wholesome vegan foods like medjool dates.

Those who follow him know he’s been a vegan for 20 years and he even switched to a completely raw diet for awhile, which he claims during that time he never got sick.

“I didn’t even have a headache—it was unbelievable,” he said. “So now I still try to eat raw about 50 percent of the time.”

So take that, Bijou Phillips, who recently said she was going back to Atkins to lose weight and being a vegan made her sick all the time.

Adams has a self-portrait in front of his fridge-probably to remind him of how gorgeous his body looks so he’ll keep eating vegan.

Read his interview with Rachael Ray, and hear how he’d love to invite her over for a 30 Minute Meal of cheeseless rigatoni pasta with pesto sauce.
