Vegetarian Star

Here at Veg Star, we go giggity, giggity, goo over celebrity sightings in veg restaurants.

The latest sighting comes from the Starwatch section of nbclosangeles.com.

Heather Mills was spied having a meal at L.A.’s Vegan Glory with daughter Beatrice and a “male friend” who we’ll assume is Jamie Walker.

Hmm…Does this mean Heather has talked the meat loving Jamie into going veg?

“They seemed to be in good spirits,” the source said. “Beatrice was singing all throughout the meal.”

Vegan Glory food sounds like a supper to sing for!

The famous vegan junk food lovin’ Nellie McKay will be performing at the Denver, Colorado VegFest 2009 on April 11.

VegFest will feature all day veggie fun complete with guest speakers such as Dr. Milton R. Mills, associate director of preventive medicine for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), cooking demonstrations, and vendors.

The evening will end with Nellie’s concert as well as a performance by Amy and the Rock Sisters.

Nellie McKay, although a vegan, has said many times she just loves junk food, and thinks more people would be vegan if more vegan  junk food was available. We’re guessing VegFest won’t have a lot of junk food, but there’s still probably something for everyone to chow down on.

 VegFest will take place at Mariott City Center in Denver. For more information, visit VegFest.net.

Vegan and natural childbirth champ Erykah Badu performed at the Jazz Festival at Miami Gardens this weekend.

During her performance Erykah wore a t-shirt that read, “Bite Me! I am vegan.”

What’cha tryin’ to say, Erykah? You’d taste better for the cannibals? Ha, ha.

We know Erykah just likes wearing her vegan pride whenever she gets the chance.

The former vegan, who now eats fish rapper Common was there to perform as well.

Alanis Morissette snagged herself a Juno this weekend at Canada’s version of the Grammy’s. Alanis won Pop Album of the Year. Woohoo!

It’s not certain if Alanis attended the Juno awards banquet which featured some nice vegetarian options.

Alanis was know for going back and forth between vegin’ and meatin’ when she finally made the decision to go veg all the way and become vegan after reading Eat toLive by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a physician who’s worked with Physician’s Committee For Responsible Medicine.

Congratulations Alanis. Hope the diet’s still working for you. Ain’t nothing like a celebration with vegan cake!

Ladies we all have a girlfriend we know who owns shoe pairs in the triple digits. Sometimes, depending on the person we’re talking to, we admit that “girlfriend” is us.

But while we’re buying out the discount rack at Payless, are we paying our dues to the environment and animals?

Elizabeth Olsen, creator of Olsen Haus vegan shoes, spoke with bloggers Joshua Katcher, aka, Discerning Brute, and Chloe Jo Berman from the Girlie Girl Army on all things vegan shoe fetish.

And dudes: this is for you too. Elizabeth has some manly vegan shoes in the wings which she hopes to launch in the fall of this year.

Elizabeth has been a vegan herself for the past 2 years and hasn’t eaten meat in 20!

Joaquin Phoenix narrated the Nation Earth film company produced Earthlings, a documentary about the harm that comes with humans using animals in various industries, such as food, fashion, and entertainment.

Now he’s back doing his deal again with the new audio book version adapted from the original full length film.

The audio book can be downloaded for $13.97 or pre-ordered on a 2 CD set for $19.99 at Earthlings.com.

Ellen DeGeneres credited the film with helping her adopt a vegan diet. 

The film also features music from vegan musician Moby.

Earthlings took several years to create due to the difficulty of obtaining footage in some of the industries.

Propagandhi on Myspace

Like, really, really, really likes it. 

VegNews magazine recently interviewed Todd “the Rod” Kowalski of the band Propagandhi on their new album, Supporting Caste, which features a satirical song about cooking up food writer Sandor Katz after raising him “humanely.”

The boys go to a lot of vegan restaurants while on tour and can’t get enough Thai food.

“We went to an unbelievable Thai restaurant called Peace Harmony in Sydney, Australia two days ago,” said bassist Kowalski. “We went there four times in two days!”

Um, obsessed much, guys?

Back home in Canada, Todd likes staying in to cook, but will saunter over to his favorite Ethiopian restaurant, Merkato, in Winnipeg.

Jared Leto was spotted hanging out at LA hot spot Bardot and enjoying some late night vegan grub!

A source said the actor and rocker, “chilled in the lounge with a couple of buddies.”

If you recall us telling you, Leto played the role of spider rescuer at a party for Proposition 2 that Olivia Wilde attended. When a huge, black spider was aiming for musician Moby’s head during his performance, Leto didn’t hesitate to rush in and, instead of killing it, place it back on the ground.

Speaking of bars, how easy is it to find good vegan grub there? A bar in Hollywood may be more likely to have vegan fare, but everywhere else? Have you been able to find good veg food at 2:00 AM to munch on while you sip your vegan Heineken?
