Vegetarian Star

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.

Citysearch.com is the place to go to find out where all the restaurants, clubs, and hot business you’ll need in whatever city you’re dwelling in or passing through. It never hurts to have a personal recommendation, though, and Cobra Starship hottie Gabe Saporta has given his top picks.

The vegetarian singer who recently posed with a bunny in an anti-fur ad admits he can only eat a couple of meals at the restaurant he’s an investor of, Employees Only, a New York city establishment fashioned after a Prohibition-era speakeasy, where all you see is a psychic you must walk past before approaching a door labeled “Employees Only,” that leads to the food.

He can, however, eat more than a couple of dishes at Red Bamboo in NY.

“I wouldn’t be doing myself justice if I omitted a vegetarian spot from my list (after all, there are only two dishes I can eat at my own restaurant). Veggie food is usually bland and annoyingly health-conscious. Red Bamboo, however, serves veggie ‘soul-food.’ Seriously. Creole soul chicken, Cajun fried shrimp and barbecue buffalo wings–all meatless! Even non-vegetarians will love this food.”

Gabe loves both LA and NY spots, so visit his City Search list to learn the WWGG-Where Would Gabe Go?.

PETA is known for its double and triple dipping. They have several Sexiest Vegetarian Contests yearly and crowned both Oprah and Leona Lewis as Person of the Year by their U.S. and UK divisions, respectively.

Now, Pink has taken the title of yet another Person of The Year, this time in the Libby Awards held by peta2.org.

The vegetarian singer has been an animal rights activist in many causes, such as appearing on a Billboard in Times Square to protest the horse drawn carriage industry to having a beef with Prince William for his habit of shooting animals for sport.

Other celebrities that were winners in the contest include Murs, for best hip hop artist, Rise Against for Most Animal Friendly band, and Mac Danzig for Most Animal Friendly athlete.

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.

Although her parents were cattle ranchers, American Idol alum and country music singer Carrie Underwood became vegetarian during her teens when she was still living with them.

While mom and dad were supportive of her diet, not everyone she encounters while touring in some areas are as welcoming.

She says she has to be careful while performing in places where cattle ranching is big, because there’s a chance if she announces she’s vegetarian, she’ll get booed.

“I’m a vegetarian and there are some parts of the United States where you do not announce that to the audience,” she explains. “And while the crowd might be kind of playing with me, sometimes if I do let that slip, I do get booed. So it’s something I’m working on-keeping me vegetarianism to myself.”

Watch the video to hear Carrie explain keeping her secret to herself and find out what musician she admires.

Whatever happened to Pete Wentz?

The Fall Out Boy was once a vegan, then vegetarian, and now is neither. Plus, he’s sporting furry boots lately. What gives?

Sure, there’s a good chance it’s fake fur. But there’s a good chance it isn’t.

Back to the whole vegetarian thing. Between him and Oh, Joe who did, that leaves only two veg men standing-Patrick Stump and Andy Hurley.

Sigh…It would have been fun watching little Bronx grow up loving his seitan and veggies.
