Vegetarian Star

Denny's All Nighter

Veg Brothers Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte recently made vegetarian and vegan burritos at Denny’s in Los Angeles!

The burritos will be available on Denny’s Allnighter Rockstar Menu.

Yes, Canadians may have their KFC vegan faux chicken sandwich, but now folks in the U.S. have another veg option in a traditionally fast food restaurant.

Since Benji and Joel are both known and outspoken vegetarians as well as known rockstars, who better to choose to be the poster boys of veg Denny’s?

The Rock Star Menus were created when Denny’s allowed musicians like Katy Perry, Taking Back Sunday, Boys Like Girls, and Hoobastank into the kitchen (dangerous, we know) to cook up what they like to chow down on after hours.

Benji and Joel’s creations will be featured on the third Rock Star Menu, which is launching this summer.

Men with guitars are sexy enough. Men with guitars who can cook are almost too much to handle.

We learned earlier that R.E.M. musicians Michael Stipe and Peter Buck have “code words” for requesting vegetarian food at events.

But it’s not anything new for the Star Me Kitten dudes to speak out when it comes to making sure herbivores have something on the menu for them.

The Grill in Athens, Georgia is a burger and fries, milkshake joint. But when Stipe frequented there in the early 80s when he was a student at the University of Georgia, he made some noise about putting vegetarian items on the menu. It worked and the restaurant still has an extensive vegetarian menu, featuring tofu dogs, fake bacon B.L.T., and veggie wraps.

The Grill is considered a landmark in Athens and has recently turned over its hands to a worker who flipped burgers as an employee for 12 years, Mike Bradshaw, because the most recent previous owner, Jeff Weinberg, didn’t want his joint turning into a Five Guys or Johnny Rockets or other grease fest chain store.

Thank goodness The Grill isn’t losing its veggie religion. There are no plans to change a thing, including the menu.

We’ve already stated our position on asking a man to change his name for a PETA campaign. Now it looks like PETA Jr., or peta2.org, is doing the same thing, and created a list of bands that should change their names from animal unfriendly to friendly ones.

We agree there are some bands out there with names that sound oh so ugly to the vegetarian’s ear. What’s worse is that some of these bands are vegetarian!

Frank Iero, MacBeth vegan shoe boy, is in a band called Leathermouth. Ewww! Peta2 thinks “Pleathermouth” is better for the image. Please pass this on to their agents.

Meatloaf, who at least once dabbled in vegetarianism, could sell more albums to vegans if he called himself “Lentil Loaf.”

The creepiest of all? Cattle Decapitation, a death metal band full of vegetarians, who PETA thinks should rename themselves “Cattle Appreciation.” Cattle Decapitation? We’re with you on that one, PETA!

We can’t forget that caring for animals is just as important as not eating them, and the Stray Cats are overpopulating the music scene. Please takes those guys to the vet, so they can be the “Spayed Cats.”

For the remaining list of bands who should undergo name overhaul, visit peta2.org.

Nancy Shevell will have it made if she finally ties the knot with ex Beatles Sir Paul McCartney. A man who can cook makes the best husband, hands down. 

McCartney was being interviewed by Entertainment Weekly when it was mentioned he’s such as well rounded man-musician who plays most of the instruments on his albums, poet, children’s book author, and artist who drew the artwork for his album.

“Such a renaissance man,” EW suggested. “Can you bake too?”

“Well, I did make a vegetarian lasagna recently, one Linda used to make. I found it in a book in the kitchen and I thought, can I really do this? But I did and it was quite delicious”

Paul has had many years of practice cooking vegetarian since he and late wife Linda’s Christmas without turkey, where they crafted a macaroni and cheese “turkey” in place of the real thing.

Was there a particular person in your life that led you to go vegetarian?

Guitarist and co-singer/songwriter of punk rock band Anti-Flag, Justin Sane, was inspired by mom and dad.

His parents opened the first vegetarian restaurant in his home town and he was exposed to their activism as they participated in rallies while he was growing up.

Ethical fashion designer and daughter of ex Beatle Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney, recently opened one of her clothing boutiques in Paris, France.

She shared the evening with dad Paul and his girlfriend, some say fiancee Nancy Shevell.

Being the vegetarian family they are, the McCartneys and Nancy had a gourmet veg dinner at Le Grand Vefour which included artichoke crème brulee.

Shevell is probably learning to love all the veg food she can if she’s going to wed Paul soon. She’s already been reported to have quit eating meat to please Paul earlier in their relationship.

Melissa Etheridge dropped by Martha Stewart’s studio not long ago for an episode on the holidays.

Before she appeared, Etheridge spoke to Hudson Valley Inside Out about what she might be doing on Stewart’s show.

Given that you’re a vegetarian, what I’d like to know is if you’ll teach Martha Stewart how to make something like vegan mashed potatoes—because she’ll probably be trying to stuff a goose.

Etheridge: [Laughter] I think we’re going to do something crafty. You know that I am such a crafty girl.

We’re sure Martha knows how to make some mashed potatoes without the gravy, given the fact she needed to cook for her vegetarian daughter, Alexis.

Melissa, who is also a cancer survivor, did do something crafty-a bird’s nest planter.

Watch the video of Etheridge on Martha and maybe you too can become a vegetarian domestic diva.

Stephen Colbert is proving he’s not of fan of vegetarianism. Not long ago, we brought you the video of him making fun of PETA’s new Sea Kitten Campaign, when he renamed animals to sound more vegetarian friendly like calling owls “sky nachos.”

Recently, he had Sir Paul McCartney on his show where he questioned the ex Beatle’s vegetarian diet.

“I have a beef to pick with you, sir, in that you don’t eat beef,” Colbert said. McCartney goes into detail about him feeling animals are sentient beings that deserve to live and not be eaten by humans and that the Dalai Lama agrees with him. The ever so sarcastic Colbert asks, “Don’t you think if the animals had the opportunity, they would eat us?”

Colbert’s starting to sound like Karl Lagerfeld.

McCartney replied with, “In an emergency, perhaps the Dalai Lama would eat me.”

Watch and listen to Paul say his midriff is the best part to eat during an emergency.
