Vegetarian Star

Ingrid Newkirk once said she hated people thinking being vegan meant being a “pure” vegetarian and not drinking or going to church every week.

Singer Pink’s not vegan, but she’s proving vegetarians can have a cold one at the end of the day.

While on tour recently in Australia, she told a reporter that while she prefers to eat vegetarian meals, she kept her concert cooler stocked with VB, Victoria Bitter beer.

Victoria Bitter hasn’t been investigated by the veg friendly alcohol folks at Barnivore.com, so we’re not sure if it’s vegan approved or not. Anyone care to tell?

Update: Victoria Bitter NOT vegetarian or vegan. See comments!

Geneva Cruz is Philippine’s Sexiest Vegetarian. PETA says so.

Of course, don’t take PETA’s word for it. Maxim agrees too, as this lady graced the cover not long ago.

What makes Geneva so beautiful inside and out is her love for animals. A vegetarian since 15 who’s now a vegan, Geneva made the switch after filming a shampoo commercial where she interacted with animals.

“We were at a place in Palawan where the animals could roam free! Free! And all I had to so was to feed one of them and say ‘Natural!’ We’d repeat that for each take,” Geneva said.

“I think you help save a lot of lives if you are a vegetarian. For me, a vegan diet is not about dieting, it’s about loving all living things,” she added.

Mos Def’s got a new album, The Ecstatic, coming out tomorrow.

The hip hopper who’s real name is Dante Terrell Smith, sat down for some chit-chat with USAtoday.com and he brought along his son Fidel for the interview, where he enticed him with the thought of ordering hummus or guacamole.

Mos Def is a vegetarian, and from the sound of it, looks like he’s trying to bring Fidel up that way too.

Mos fantastic!

Mos Def likes to skateboard around his neighborhood, something he picked up from comedian Dave Chappelle.

“I love my decks,” he said. “It’s a great way to discover a neighborhood and keep fit. And it’s really Zen.”

Okay, so it’s no secret The Pretenders’ singer is a vegan and animal rights activist, but the Independent’s article “My Secret Life” reveals a few facts you may not know about Chrissie Hynde.

Chrissie’s secrets include life changing vegetarian moments and a love for greener, public transportation.

The moment that changed me for ever … was becoming a vegetarian aged 17; my whole life changed. I spent a lot of time hanging out in the woods near my house and felt a connection to the birds and trees.

My real-life villain is … McDonald’s.

I drive … a Smart car but don’t use it much. My favourite ride is the bus; I like to get involved in the human pageantry.

You already know the guys of Rise Against are vegetarian and big time animal rights supporters. That’s why they’re encouraging people to petition the Canadian government and Olympics committee to stop steal hunting.

But did you also know every one of the guys, with the exception of drummer Brandon Barnes, are straight-edge, which is a lifestyle marked by abstaining from many things, including alcohol.

Their latest tour kicks off in Canada this summer, where they’ll have bands like Rancid and Billy Talent opening for them.

“Children have a natural empathy with animals. They carry around a teddy bear and are taught to love animals. All those fairy tales have animals in them. Then kids are taught to accept their exploitation and death. I do think people try to do the best they can, but they get hit by mixed messages from every direction. They get confused and need to learn.”

—-Singer and songwriter Nellie McKay, in an interview with popmatters.com. 

Talk about mixed messages…Kids grow up with cats and dogs as pets and cows and chickens as food. No wonder the adolescents of today are so angst ridden!
