Vegetarian Star

So Moby, George Bush and Jesus are all over at Moby’s house sitting in the living room and George gets hungry.

There really is no punchline to this, just a fantasy of the bald vegan musician he told to Rachael Ray, when he revealed his kitchen is stocked full of condiments and vitamins.

“You know, I think it would be nice to have George Bush and Jesus over for dinner,” Moby said.

What would he serve for the two leaders?

“Well, George spent a lot of time in Texas, so I’d make some rice and beans and salsa, maybe some guacamole,” Moby said. “I’m not a particularly good cook, but I can make reasonably palatable bachelor food.”

Moby’s Mexican fare may need a few miracles before it’s palatable, but it would definitely answer some scholars question of whether Jesus was a vegetarian.

The Chicago Diner in Chicago, Illinois is celebrating its 27th anniversary this week with specials on food, gift bags with free veggie goodies and more.

The restaurant with the slogan, “Meat-Free Since ’83” is completely vegetarian and almost entirely vegan, featuring meatless versions of classic diner foods like burgers, steak, breakfast foods, pastas and desserts.

Ellen DeGeneres is so much a fan of the diner’s vegan hot wings that after trying them in the Windy City, she had some Fed Exed to her studios in California later.

The hot wings are made from seitan and come in barbecue or hot and spicy style with ranch dressing.

Part of the celebration includes a few menu items available at 1983 prices like various beers and wines, the diner burger, black bean burger, gryos, the Radical Reuben and the Philly Steak.

The hot wings aren’t on the ’83 price menu, but they won’t break the bank if you stop by Chicago’s vegetarian food hot spot on Halsted this week.

Allison Moorer has had a lot of other things on her mind lately than deciding what to cook for dinner (like what to name the new baby, what diapers to use, deciding who between she and husband Steve Earle will wake up in the middle of the night to change one).

To make things easier on herself, Moorer’s been eating dinner out and giving into whatever she and little one to come is craving for the evening.

The alternative country singer told Black Book Mag, “We’ve been doing this like go out to dinner a lot lately, so we won’t think about, ‘When is the baby going to come?’ So we went to Union Square Café last night, which is fantastic. I’m vegetarian. I had this incredible ricotta gnocchi, which I think is a regular item on the menu.We just went to Babbo Monday night, which is great. Our neighborhood is ridiculously good for food.”

Sounds like Moorer is one of those vegetarian women who didn’t head for the steakhouse when another lifeform started growing inside of her.

Amazing!

Joaquin Phoenix is back!

After a brief stint as a Rastafarian looking rapper with average rhyming ability, Phoenix has cut his hair, shaved and possibly showered to show his pretty face in a new video for PETA on the use of animal hides in the fashion industry.

“Exotic animals are mostly unknown to us, and so is what they suffer before being turned into belts and bags,” Joaquin says in the video. “Every year millions of reptiles are slaughtered so handbags, belts and shoes can be made from their skin. The animals’ welfare is not a consideration to those who hunt, skin and farm them.”

According to SF Gate, the video will be sent to celebrities who are known for using clothing and accessories made from lizards, snakes and alligators.

30 Seconds to Mars singer Jared Leto has revealed secret, possibly rooted in ancient tradition, ceremonies he and the other two band members, Shannon Leto and Tomo Milisevic, share.

Instead of sacrificing animals before a performance, Leto says soybeans are offered.

“Well there was a time when we used to sacrifice goats but then we all became vegans so we’ve been sacrificing tofu before the shows!” Leto joked on Myspace, according to Gigwise.

Dude is close to 40, but doesn’t look like he’s legal to even play at some of the venues where 30 Seconds takes the stage.

The youth gods must love tofu!

Celebrity Apprentice hasn’t been too nice to vegetarians, as the potential CEOs have been given the “You’re Fired” order with neither a fruit basket nor a severance package.

This season comedian Carol Leifer was the first to go (but she did squeeze some money out of Donald for an animal charity), while Herschel Walker got the pink slip after he failed trying to make executive decisions about chicken when he doesn’t even eat it.

Better luck next time guys.

A business lunch is still available. Between the two contestants, who would you rather do…

You’ve seen those commercials for “Happy Cows” sponsored by the California Milk Advisory Board where cows are seen roaming freely in the pasture, females get a chance to gossip while the bulls attempt to speak French in hopes procreating before slaughter time.

Not everyone agrees with the idyllic picture portrayed by the CMAB and Big Love actress Ginnifer Goodwin has written her thoughts to the Federal Trade Commission regarding what animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says are deceptive practices in these campaigns.

“In show business, we often have good reason for making people believe things that aren’t true, but there is no excuse for the CMAB’s misrepresentation of the milk industry,” writes Goodwin. “[C]onsumers deserve better than to be fed cheerful lies about ‘happy cows.'”

Goodwin goes on to say that the reality is most cows in California are confined in crammed spaces filled with dirt and their own excrement, and suffer udder infections as a result of being forced to produce unnatural amounts of milk induced through administering drugs.

Watch the video below to see an example of the CMAB commercials.
