Vegetarian Star

June 1st is D-Day for Georges Laraque! Or shall we say V-day…

The Montreal Canadienes hockey player is a vegetarian looking for more excitement. That’s why he’s going vegan at the beginning of next month.

Laraque had previously said he was working on going vegan, but no definite date had been set.

During a recent interview with the Montreal Gazette, Laraque revealed his vegan D-Day!

Wishing him best of luck!

Mayim Bialik had the privilege of receiving a makeover compliments of the team at What Not To Wear.

Although Mayim’s said before she’d never call herself completely vegan, she does try to avoid leather. Mayim used to take it a bit further and avoid products that even looked like leather.

From celebrity-babies.com:

“They made me throw out my Doc Martens, but when we went to the vegan shoe store in Manhattan they had vegan Doc Martens, so I may have to indulge! My policy used to be that I didn’t like to wear shoes that looked like leather, even if they weren’t, but I let that go, because my feeling is if they aren’t leather, then it’s OK for them to look leather. I gave them so many limitations with my rules on bold colors, pants, frills, so I figured I’d wear vegan shoes that look like leather.”

Some people refuse to wear fake fur for the same reason. What’s your take on the situation? Should vegetarians and vegans avoid wearing lookalikes because they give the wrong impression?

Amitabh Bachchan is a longtime vegetarian and PETA wants him to encourage others to do so by serving only vegetarian food at an India International Film Academy (IIFA) event in Macau, China next month.

After all, the theme for the event is “Go-Green,” and what environmentalist doesn’t know by now that meat isn’t environmentally friendly.

PETA India chief functionary Anuradha Sawhney sent a letter to Bachchan containing the following statement:

“We were thrilled to hear that this year’s IIFA Awards are going to have a ‘Go Green’ theme, and we commend you for helping to once again draw attention to the global climate crisis. On behalf of PETA India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to serve only green (vegetarian) food at the event.”

“By doing so, you will send a strong message that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits.”

Do you know any environmentalists who really haven’t “gone green all the way” yet? Are they missing the connection between wasted land and energy in raising farm animals for human food consumption (not to mention other animal consumption)?

Get in the game and drop them a little note like the one sent to Bachchan! Some one’s gotta remind them that meat’s not green!

Taking Back Sunday is about to release their newest album, New Again, on June 2nd.

Popwreckoning got a chance to chat with guitarist and back up vocalist Matthew Fazzi (shown on the right) before he jammed at a show in Kansas City.

Fazzi must work up an appetite during shows, because he was asking about checking out vegetarian restaurants afterwards.

PW: Well, you’ll have to be sure to check out the city after the show.
MF: Yeah! Do you have any suggestions?
PW: What do you like to do?
MF: I’m vegetarian, so if you know any vegetarian places that would be great. Parks, historical landmarks…

Of course, if Fazzi has an iphone (and like, OMG, who doesn’t?), he can install the VegOut application that lets you search for vegetarian and vegan restaurants and stores in any city or state.

VegOut was created by Champ Bennett, another musician and software designer on the side, after he found finding somewhere to eat in Europe a royal pain.

Musicians know best, Matthew. Take it from someone in the club and get VegOut already!

Update: Photo has been updated. Thanks guys.

One of the first supermodels, Marie Helvin is still looker hotter than ever in her 50s. And she does so without animal killing botox.

Helvin claims to use nothing but soap and moisturizer.

“Whatever I use on my face I take right down [to my cleavage],” she said, according to the UK Daily Mail. “They’re my best asset. Not that anyone really sees them any more. But I do.”

Like Christie Brinkley, who’s also in her 5th decade, Helvin is a vegetarian.  

She is currently the face for Marks & Spencer’s portfolio fashion for women over 50.

Summer’s almost here. The sunny season marks lots of sunscreen, thongs, lemonade, and the F word. Uh, Gordon Ramsay’s F Word, that is.

The celebrity chef’s show, The F Word, follows Ramsay as he prepares three course meals at his F Word restaurant.

Rest assured Gordon will be doing much of his usual species slaughter during the show, including catching wild hogs and puffin, but at least one member of his celebrity cast moves away from the meat madness, if only for one episode.

Singer and TV personality Dannii Minogue whips up a lovely vegetarian risotto on episode 6, which is set to air on July 22nd at 9:00PM on UK Channel 4.

Gordon  may be open to the vegetarian dish, given the fact he’s expanding his horizons lately, agreeing to partake in a Reality TV show based entirely on creating plant based dishes.  Or he may critique it with his usual diatribe of profanities.

You’ll have to tune in and find out! Visit monstersandcritics.com for sneak previews of other F Word episodes.

Moby was on his way to the dentist recently when he started a much intellectual discussion with himself about whether zombies would find vegans tasty.

Please note that he hadn’t been to the dentist yet, so there was no Novocaine or other mind altering painkiller involved.

“see, i know the zombies won’t want to eat the vegans, as vegans tend to be all skinny and stringy and we’re generally kind of speedy. they’re going to make a b-line for vegas and eat the people standing in the buffet line. cull the herd, zombies.”

Why the concern about zombies, you ask? After experiencing his first earthquake a few days ago, Moby also experienced his first zombie escape. You can view a pic of the zombie escaping the trunk of a car on his journal.

Of course, Moby never thought to ask if zombies themselves were vegan. That fugitive zombie could just have a mean craving for sweet and sour tofu.

Author, model, and actress Joanne Rose gave VegNews magazine some insight into her upcoming video series Vegan 101.

The series are short, comedic skits about veganism. If you recall us telling you earlier, one of the videos involves making fun of dating a vegan. Joanne gave more details about her motivations for creating, Dating a Vegan.

“I wanted to do a take on awkward moments, which seems to be something most vegans have encountered at some stage of dating. I hope to achieve international success so the word “vegan” becomes a strong part of global vocabulary, which will influence others to learn about the lifestyle through curiosity and fascination. With entertainment, people won’t shun away.”

Ok, vegans, it’s time to let loose. Tell us all your horror and humorous stories you’ve encountered while dating. Did you spend the first three dates answering food questions? Prince charming try to sneak meat in your food at the dinner table?

What about the carnis or flexers? Did you get sick of your vegan babe taking 20 minutes to order food because he kept asking about ingredients?

Read the entire interview with Joanne at VegNews.com.
