Vegetarian Star

Paul McCartney is so confident his vegetarian diet will keep him healthy and disease free, he’s planning for his 100th birthday bash.

Monsters and Critics reported a friend said, “Paul has a hunch he’ll still be here to mark his 100th year. He leads a pretty healthy life with a strict vegetarian diet and he exercises regularly. He certainly sees 100 as a reachable target.”

Paul’s hunch is probably right, as recent studies have shown having your daily dose of meat, takes daily doses of your lifespan away, making you more likely to die from heart disease and cancer.

Although we’re not aware of any studies on it, we’re sure a veg diet gives you more strength to blow out all 100 candles when you reach the big day.

Travis McCoy gave a Twitter update, where he gave props to one of his favorite vegetarian restaurants. It would have been nice if he had Tweeted what he ate.

“At my favorite veggie restaurant in NYC, CURLY’s gettin it IN.”

After looking at the menu, our vote is for quesadilla…or…who knows?

Curly’s has all the diner style food a laid back ordinary guy could ask for-but in vegetarian and vegan versions.

An extensive breakfast collection that includes pancakes and granola, an entire menu section devoted to “burger” and fries, as well as veg sandwiches like sloppy joes, “Suna Melt” (fake tuna) and “TLT” (tofu bacon, lettuce, and tomato).

If we were there right now, we’d be gettin’ it too!

The former Posh Spice is known for her fashion statements, including her handbags, but one bag in particular is giving the folks of PETA the creeps.

Victoria Beckham has been spotted carrying a Hermes bag around town. Hermes is a company that uses crocodile skin in its products, and has recently started to breed its own crocs for the fashion line.

“We will send Victoria Beckham, a compassionate person who won’t wear fur, our undercover footage that shows how alligators and crocodiles are beaten to death and how snakes are nailed to trees and skinned alive for these products,” the animal rights group stated.

“The mere thought of purposefully breeding and killing crocodiles for an outdated, overpriced handbag should make any fashionista’s skin crawl.”

Vegetarian Victoria has made statements in the past, denouncing fur and claims the only fur products she wears are fake.

She hasn’t held her title for even a month and already controversy is happening.

No, Kellie Pickler hasn’t been found in revealing photographs of her chomping on hamburgers after winning PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Contest. But there are some that wish she would.

Amanda Nolz at Beef magazine recently blogged on the Beef Daily blog (Seriously, we’re not kidding. We know you’ll want to bookmark that in your browser as well as subscribe to the Beef Daily e-newsletter.) that Kellie was an example of a country music star who had turned away from country values.

Just like evil Carrie Underwood who donated funds from her American Idol elimination song to the Humane Society, Kellie is ruining everything country. Well, shame on her!

“Well, it’s no secret that I’m not a fan of Carrie Underwood, a vocal vegetarian who actively teams up with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), and you’ve heard me rant and rave about the “Oprah Effect,” where anything Oprah says, the world listens to as fact. It’s unfortunate that others like Kellie Pickler are now following suit. Time and time again, these celebrities stand up and against America’s food producers, heightening an already troubling outlook consumers have on farmers and ranchers.”

“Even though we don’t have fame, fortune and our faces on the cover of magazines, farmers and ranchers have the capability to feed 144 people each year. We have the determination and drive to produce a safe and wholesome product to feed the world. Agriculturalists are truly people to look up to, and today, I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and tell your story. It’s time we let our voices be heard. Who’s with me?”

Uh, not us. But anyway…

It must be tough for someone from some parts of the U.S. South, farming background or living in the heart of “cattle country” to go against the grain and be veg. Kudos to them.

Are you a cattle rancher kid who went wild and became veg, much to the disappointment of your friends and family?

Oooh, how long has it been since you had some Loveshack?

The song, that is, by Fred Schneider and his B-52’s gang. The band that’s been around since the 80s is nowhere near retiring yet, and although Fred’s still singing “Rock Lobster,” he’s not eating any.

The world of touring isn’t nearly as difficult to a vegetarian musician as it was when the band first broke out.

“I eat dairy and eggs, so it’s not as hard as it used to be. America’s finally come to some of its senses.”

The band is currently performing songs live from their most recent album, Funplex.

Fred took German in high school, so if the band decides to do an overseas tour in that part of Europe, language shouldn’t be a barrier to getting good food either.

“Now I can say ‘I don’t eat meat’ and stuff like that in German.”

Wir essen keine Fleisch either!

Oh, yeah. Google Translate does us well!

The votes are in and Kellie Pickler and Milo Ventimiglia were chosen as the Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities in a poll conducted by PETA.

PETA, being the equal rights organization it is, of course has a spot for the top male and female, but if you had to choose just one, who would you rather do…

Wow. Talk about calling a shot.

When we asked weeks ago if Milo Ventimiglia was the sexiest, fans across the nation answered our question with a resounding YES!

Milo was voted Sexiest Vegetarian of the Year in a contest held by PETA, along with his female crowned counterpart Kellie Pickler.

Milo does have an advantage, given the fact he was raised vegetarian since in utero. But Kellie made an honest effort to change her diet as an adult with a little help from fellow Idol alum and vegetarian Carrie Underwood and Pamela Anderson.

When Kellie found out she won, she had to do some googling to believe it!

On her Myspace blog, she wrote:

“On another note….I just found out that I was voted “Peta’s Sexiest Vegetarian!” How cool is that?!! Thank you so much for voting!! That was totally unexpected!! I was jumping up and down when I heard the news! I even googled it to make sure I wasn’t being punk’d! ha ha!! “

Did your favorite vegetarian star win? Should someone else be seated in the top spot?
