Vegetarian Star

If you live in the US, traveling to some other countries can be a pain when it comes to finding good vegetarian food.

But, hey, who are the Americans to brag? There are still some places in the States where if you say, “Tofu,” they think you’re hurling an insult at them.

Singer-songwriter and musician Missy Higgins keeps her veganism while on tour, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy to do, as she explained in the Minneapolis StarTribune.

Although the Australian born lady thinks the best thing about the US are its open minded people, one of the worst things is finding food in smaller towns.

“Their idea of vegetarian is fried chicken,” she said.

Poor thing!

Country music singer Carrie Underwood said she sometimes gets booed for saying she’s a vegetarian in some parts of the country. Now she’s getting booed for being an animal lover.

As we reported earlier, Carrie’s voice can be heard singing Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home” during each American Idol contestant’s elimination this year. Some of the profits from her version of “Home Sweet Home” available on iTunes will go towards the Humane Society of the United States.

And that just makes the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance want to poop (pun intended).

“Carrie Underwood has decided to use her talents to benefit an organization dedicated to destroying the rights of thousands of her fans,” said Rick Story, vice president of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, in a news release. “HSUS does not operate or oversee animal shelters; it is a radical organization that seeks to end hunting and other responsible uses of animals in America.”

The Alliance is urging hunters to contact Fox and demand they not play Carrie’s song.

Wow. Talk about “radical.”

Trying to censor an artist who wants to benefit an organization that works to protect so many animals by speaking out against puppy mills to protecting farm animals sounds more radical. Trying to censor an artist just because she donates to a charity that doesn’t work in favor of your interest is radical.

It’s highly unlikely Fox will drop their Idol alumnus. And it’s highly likely the added publicity will improves sales of “Home Sweet Home.”

It’s Friday the 13th! Ooooh, are you scared? Are you superstitious?

Candice Bergen wrote up her fears on wowowow.com, where she revealed meat being really the only one.

However, we already know chicken doesn’t scare her, but at least she’s admitting to her “half-assed vegetarian” ways.

“Something I do have oddly strong feelings about, bordering on the superstitious, is eating any kind of four-legged animal. Also some two-legged, like duck. I will never eat duck. And I haven’t eaten pork or beef (especially veal) for 35 years. This started because I suddenly started to find people carving into these bloody haunches of meat so disturbing. And after walking through the former huge market square in Paris, with hundreds of carcasses hanging side by side, it just repulsed me and I decided to keep my own half-assed vegetarianism. I don’t mention it at dinners. I just eat around the meat. I’m not a pain in the ass, but I cannot eat meat now — even some that looks and smells delicious, like barbecued ribs or prosciutto — without feeling like I am betraying animals.”

“So it is almost a superstition. I guess it’s more a personal idiosyncrasy. A principle I won’t break.”

Maybe chickens should learn to go “quack, quack,” and Candy won’t eat them.

Come again?

No, you heard correctly. Someone wants to make a George Clooney flavored tofu. Oh, come on, you know who.

PETA paparazzi somehow got ahold of a gym towel that was soaked in the actor’s sweat. Through magic vegetarian chants (well, actually it’s a combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry) chemists can isolate his odor characteristics, which can be extracted and blended into your tofu smoothie or stir fry.

Yep, that’ll get people to go vegetarian.

G to the R to the O to the double S!

Says PETA from its blog:

“Some people don’t try tofu because they expect it to taste bland, but we know it can absorb any taste—so CloFu could make your taste buds and your heart melt. Of course, what’s even better is that after everyone gets a piece of George and realizes how delicious tofu truly is, diets will be revolutionized.”

The group wrote to Clooney personally, asking him what he thought of the idea:

“We have been offered some of your perspiration, apparently taken from a towel at a gym in Washington, D.C. We are big fans, and this prospect has given us an interesting idea that we hope will amuse you too.”

“The technology actually exists to take your perspiration and make it into George Clooney–flavored tofu (CloFu). We could do that and give the tofu away.”

Well, if it’s free…the economy is getting tough, you know.

So what’cha what’cha what’cha want? Some raw vegan food!

When Mike Diamond, aka Mike D of hip hop group, the Beastie Boys, wanted delicious raw food prepared for him, he called on his personal chef Aaron Ash.

Aaron thought that if celebrities like members of the Beastie Boys liked vegan, raw foods so much, surely regular people would too. So he opened Gorilla Foods, a raw food/vegan/organic cafe in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Some in the US often joke about “moving to Canada” for various reasons, including the healthcare system, but hey, here’s reason #1 in our opinion.

The menu consists of vegan pizza with walnut “cheez,” Cashew Alfredo Zucchini Linguini with zucchini “Newdles” and cashew cream, and a vegan dessert menu that’s longer than the salad one. Finally!

And everything’s done without a stove top or oven.

A reviewer from the Vancouver Sun had this to say about the experience:

“When I had lunch there on a recent Saturday, I left feeling like I’d just had a refreshing shower. Raw food does that. When you think of it, it’s like salad tricked out in costume. The menu masquerades in straight-ahead offerings – pizzas, veggie burger, falafal, taco, linguini, wraps, salads, an assortment of desserts including carrot cake and cookies, juices, smoothies and shakes.”

When actor and raw foodie Woodie Harrelson is in town, Ash caters for him as well.

Yeah, you can’t front on that!

She said she ate meat while dating her ex now in prison boyfriend Raffaello Follieri because it was “easier for the lifestyle” at that time. Now Anne Hathaway may find it a little easier to keep up her “vaguely” vegan diet. 

The actress was spotted having a vegetarian sushi meal with new boyfriend Adam Shulman at M Cafe in Los Angeles.

The two met last year at a screening for Hathaway’s Rachael Getting Married movie.

Hathaway went vegetarian (again) last year shortly after her breakup with Follieri.

Shulman has starred in films such as The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning and appeared on television shows such as “The West Wing.”

Travis McCoy, front man for the musical group, Gym Class Heroes, likes his bunnies. And we’re not talking about Playboy bunnies (but he may like those too).

The vegetarian singer is starring in a PETA ad against fur.

“Bunny Ears, Not Bunny Fur,” is a playful way for Travis to encourage people not to wear real fur made from animals such as rabbits, which often comes from countries with few to no animal welfare standards, resulting in horrible treatment for the animals such as being skinned alive.

Not to mention how rude it is to take someone else’s coat!

Travis’s ex-girlfriend, Katy Perry, had said her New Year’s Resolution was to be vegetarian, but it was probably out of reach because she liked chicken too much. Unfortunately, because of the break up, she won’t even have this veg man to encourage her.

Sigh…Ending relationships can have devastating effects.

We already know that Kristen Bell doesn’t mind sharing company with omnivores. She doesn’t even mind sharing her crockpot with their food.

So it’s no surprise that she was seen out and about with friends at a seafood restaurant in New York, Flex Mussels.

Her friends ate way too much sea kitten, but Kristen helped herself to a helping a Flex fries.

Everyone in the group got to enjoy the same dessert-homemade donuts to go.

Wonder if Kristen thought about speaking up and going to a different restaurant with more vegetarian options? Looks like she got caught in a Patrick Stump steakhouse situation.

Or she could just love those Flex Fries.
