Vegetarian Star

Reggae musician Buju Banton is in a legal battle with the Pinellas County Jail over his ability to get vegetarian food while housed there.

Banton was imprisoned in December for allegedly planning the distribution of cocaine.

He claimed the jail did not respond to his requests for vegetarian meals and as a result, he lost 40 pounds.

A judge ruled last week that his claim of losing 40 pounds was false.

According to hiphopdx, Banton is a strict Rastafarian, and many do not eat red meat.

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!

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!

Question of the day.

Name your favorite faux meat.

Brian Dales, lead singer for The Summer Set, named some vegetarian foods you might find him chowing on after a concert set.

“I just eat a ridiculous amount of Mexican food on tour,” Brian said. “Substituting anything with beans is really easy. When I’m home I really like making pastas and salads with Morning Star Grilled Chicken Strips.”

Here’s a twist.

Brian is also really into cosmetics.

“Right now I feel really strong about cosmetic/personal care product testing on animals. The stuff I’ve been reading is awful and the tests that they run on animals are disgusting and unnecessary. I really hope this can be put an end to. Most of the companies don’t even need to test their products on animals according to regulations.”

A man into cruelty-free beauty?

Everyone loves a vegsexual!

Carrie Underwood was spotted having some vegetarian lunch in Los Angeles before heading out to Saks for some shopping.

They say never shop hungry. Or is that just in the case of groceries?

Oh, well. We think the phrase should be “always eat veg before shopping.”

Carrie’s latest single Cowboy Casanova was just released and will be featured on her upcoming album, Play On.

“I actually really like those vegetarian Boca Burgers. Lately I’ve been finding myself sprawled out on my front lawn with my shirt off listening to the pleasant, friendly hiss and crackle of a couple vegetarian patties sizzling away on the gas grill. Pure bliss.”

—-Owl City, a band that consists of one member, Adam Young, on his favorite vegetarian food.

A one man show means more Boca Burgers for yourself after the performance.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

“I was hounded and followed by Americans worldwide, who said ‘You’ve got to make him stop.’ I hadn’t even heard the show. Actually so many people told me to take it off, I thought ‘(expletive) it.’ I don’t have to do what you people want me to do. That show doesn’t matter to me. I think people are too easily baited. Those talk guys are just part of the gossip culture. Everyone’s got opinions on other people. It’s such a boring, unoriginal topic. No offense, but that’s not an original question. Ask me something else.”

—-hilarious Chrissie Hynde in an interview where she was asked about conservative talks show host Rush Limbaugh using her song, “My City Was Gone,” for his radio show.

Eventually Chrissie allowed Rush to use part of the song, but donate royalties to PETA.

And Rush isn’t such a bad guy after all, as he recorded a PSA for the Humane Society-without Chrissie’s prompt.

The left and the right can get along.

At least when it comes to being an advocate for animals.
