Wow. Talk about what’s been happening “since she’s been gone.”
Kelly Clarkson is vegetarian now and has been one for about a year.
During a recent interview with Trent FM UK, Kelly’s interviewer was talking about his experiences in Amarillo, Texas, where the world’s biggest steak-72 ounces-is served.
Kelly said, “My friends have kind of disowned me a bit in Texas because I’ve been a vegetarian for over a year now.”
“You can’t be a vegetarian in Texas,” the interviewer jokingly objects.
“I tried it and it’s been really great…So a 72 ounce steak might make me barf,” Kelly continued. “It’s so much better now. I feel better,” she added.
The interviewer concluded by pleading with Kelly to “eat some steak, please,” telling her she was missing her nutrients. Ha! Smart gal Kelly responded that “you get enough nutrients [from things] like beans and everything.”
Kelly’s new album, All I Ever Wanted, is set to be released in March.
Listen to the video to hear the interview and Kelly talk about her fake red carpet smile. The vegetarian part of the conversation starts around minute 4:45.
Scratch that. She wants it everyday. Uh, a home cooked vegetarian meal, that is…sometimes you gotta elaborate.
American Idol alumnus said she really doesn’t like Valentine’s Day and that couples should show their love every day of the year, according Lime Life.
“I’m anti-Valentine’s Day. I don’t believe – and this goes for anybody – your man shouldn’t love you for one day out of 365. He should love you 365 days out of the year. I want Valentine’s Day every day.”
She has said before that she’d choose animals over men, because a good dog was much easier to find than a good man. Looks like she found another good dog to spend the day with.
She traveled with her rat terrier this past Valentine’s Day.
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.

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.

Comments Off on From Stray Cats To Spayed Cats, Meatloaf Needs Lentils In Name
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.
Comments Off on Some Fans Wouldn’t Read Carrie Underwood’s Food Journal
Carrie Underwood was recently profiled on That’s Fit for her healthy eating habits and exercise routine.
Miss Underwood has been a vegetarian since 13 years of age, does a lot of cardio to stay fit, and practices what she calls “obsessive” food journaling, according to an interview with Glamour magazine.
Food journals are way people document what they’ve eaten and the nutritional content, cravings that come and go, and situations that made them eat more or less on a certain day.
While private journals of celebrities make for juicy reading info, you can bet if Carrie decided to publish hers, it wouldn’t sell well at bookstores in some states.
She said before that she’s learned to keep her vegetarianism to herself because in some parts of the country, when she’s announced she is one on stage during her performances, she gets booed.
Comments Off on Paul McCartney: Renaissance Man Who Cooks A Mean Veg Lasagna
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.
