Moby Proves Even Douche Bags Get 45 Words Of Fame

The Fifth Annual Art Party Celebrating The Whitney Museum Of American Art

Grab your urban dictionaries, boys and girls. The word for the day is douche bag. And how do you define it? Douche bag= An unattractive or offensive person. Also known as any character vegan singer Moby plays on film.

While discussing his character in the upcoming vampire horror/comedy Suck, he mentioned that he manages to get the same types of roles in movies: the role of the ugly nuisance.

“I’m making a specialty of playing douche bags,” he told Rolling Stone. “I could spend the rest of my career perfecting the douche bag. It’s the journey not the destination.”

He also played a douche bag, as a porn addict in Pittsburgh. It’s never type casting, of course.

The vegan musician’s character “Beef Ballow,” gets only 45 words to say in the film and is assaulted with rubber latex meat while dripping in fake blood made from raspberry syrup. Raspberry syrup… Mmmm, yummy. Makes you suddenly want to be the vampire that sucks on him.

The costume attire was created with him in mind, since he’s vegan and wouldn’t be down with any real USDA approved meat on him. Even his trench coat is synthetic leather.

“I only have 45 words,” Moby said. “But they are 45 important words. Then I get eaten.”

Who Would You: Joan Jett Or Chrissie Hynde

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 in Female Musicians, Female Singers, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Ah, the female vegan rocker edition!

They both love vegan food and rock and roll. Granted, Chrissie has an advantage, since she can have her chefs whip up something gourmet and vegan at her restaurant and all. So who would you…

Will Anthony Kiedis Get Duped By Docs?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Anthony Kiedis Hosts American Eagle Outfitters' New American Music Union

Anthony Kiedis experienced some real “Scar Tissue,” this past summer. His kidneys almost failed him and there was even talk of needing a transplant as he made repeat visits to Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment, according to E! Online.

“Anthony’s health was pretty bleak,” a source said. “Organ failure was a possibility.”

The Red Hot Chili Peppers singer is doing better, but with all the celebrities who don’t eat meat having doctors telling them biting into a burger will ease their maladies lately, it makes you wonder? In the midst of Anthony’s health situation, do you think he’ll have at least one doc telling him, “A chicken wing a day keeps the doctor (and further kidney problems) away?”

Years of drugs and alcohol abuse did the damage, but Kiedis has come a long way to clean up his act, turning vegan almost a decade ago, on the advice of one smart doc. He even took up yoga!

Incidentally, Anthony hired his own personal vegan chef, Laura Dakin this past summer as well. It’s possible he knew he would need to watch his nutrition even more carefully since learning of his liver problems, so he hired Laura to help him out.

What do you guys think? Will Anthony stay on the straight veg course? Did he hire Laura because he knew he needed the best vegan super food in such a time of dire need? Chime in and let us know your thoughts!

Jason Mraz Shies From Revealing Choco Avocado Masterpiece

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Hard Rock Calling Festival 2008 Day 1

If you’ve been keeping up with the news we bring you (and you should), you know that Jason Mraz switched to a raw foods vegan diet last Spring and is a homegrown avocado farmer.

He’s talked about his love for avocado before and mentioned it briefly with E!Online. When asked if he was an avocado expert, he replied:

“I like to think so. I certainly know how to choose them in a grocery store.”

Oh, Jason, Jason, Jason! You do so much more than choose the right ones in the grocery store.

Mraz has created his very own Chocomole, a chocolate mousse made with avocado.

Trying to be humble?

When he doesn’t have an avocado sweet tooth, Jason likes to cut them in half and sprinkle lemon juice on them before gobbling up.

Read the rest of Jason’s story with E! Online.

Eva Mendes Wants To Get Naked For Morrissey

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, December 15th, 2008 in Actresses.

Actress Eva Mendes (Hitch, Ghost Rider) has worn her birthday suit for PETA in the past and now she wants Morrissey to join her.

“I really want to do a PETA ad with Morrissey, I’d be happy to do it naked if need be.”

Although she is willing to show her buns for animal rights, she’s not sure if she should expect full frontal from the former singer of The Smiths.

“Whether Morrissey would want to get naked with me is another question. Maybe he could come up with something more creative than out-and-out nudity.”

Like maybe a fake chik’n patty covering up the essential parts?

Morrissey is an avid supporter of PETA as well as a vegan, so teaming up for the cause makes sense.

Mendes said she’s had a crush on Morrissey ever since she discovered The Smiths.

Morrissey, who is rumored to be talking to former Smiths member Johnny Marr about a reunion, is being presented with a lot of decisions lately. Reunionize with the boys, get naked with the girl…Tough choices, but someone’s gotta make them.

Morrissey Ready To Eat His, Um, You Know

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, December 13th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Morrissey Plays Alexandra Palace

Gossip has been taking place over the internet for some time about the 80s English Rock band The Smiths reforming for a reunion. But Morrissey has in the past denied having a happily ever after renewal of vows with Johnny Marr and the others.

“I’d rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths – and that’s saying something coming from a vegetarian,” he was once quoted as saying.

Wonder if he likes barbecue or sweet and sour with those jewels?

Before we gross you out even more with our junior high school humor, we should tell you that a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper:

“The very fact they are talking again is the most hopeful thing in years. The industry has been buoyant with talk of them getting back together.

“A lot of people think of them as the best thing since The Beatles. They’d fill stadiums many times over.”

Reforming could be a good thing for Morrissey, who is so strict about his diet he even prohibits his employees from eating meat while on tour.

There’s power in numbers. With Johnny and and his entire band backing him up singing Meat Is Murder, Morrissey might get his wish to have the beef and pork selling food booths turned into tofu kabob ones.

Chrissie Hynde Finds Singing Hard When Smelling Burnt Flesh

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, December 13th, 2008 in Female Musicians, Female Singers.

Farm Sanctuary Gala 2004

The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde has never been one to keep her mouth shut, especially when it comes to her veganism and animal rights views.

One day she was performing at a concert with Neil Young when she expressed her disgust with the aroma coming from the venue’s concession stands.

“I’m trying very hard not to say anything about the fact that all I can smell is burning flesh,” she was quoted as saying.

There are a lot of bad things you can smell at a concert-too much beer ,cigarette stench, and B.O. For the vegetarian, add the neighbor in the next seat’s fried chicken fingers to that list.

Hynde may not be able to avoid the smell of burnt animal flesh at concert venues, but she’s trying hard to make sure dead animal is not roasting backstage. She has expressed her preference not to tour with meat eaters so she doesn’t have to share the catering with them.

Moby Spontaneously Shops For Sexy Food, Not Hookers

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers, Videos.

The Cinema Society & GQ Host Screening Of 'Children Of Men'

Awhile back, we told you where to find an awesome video of Moby giving the tour of his kitchen.

Here’s another video in the Epicurious.com series where Moby talks about how it can be hard to do the vegan thing while on the road. No kidding. Just ask Mark Ruffalo, who is currently winning the Who Would You Poll, by the way.

He does a lot of “spontaneous shopping” since he lives a block or two from several grocery stores and apologizes for mentioning it because “spontaneous shopping,” doesn’t sound nearly as sexy as what a rock star should talk about, like hookers and drugs. Sometimes the best code words are the vegetarian ones.
