Timothy Bradley

Another flexitarian diet has emerged, this one invented by boxer Timothy Bradley.

Bradley goes “vegan for 3 1/2 months” before every fight, a practice he’s been doing for several years.

“It’s been four years since I’ve been doing it this way,” Bradley said. “I just feel so much better. Cleaner, mental clarity. You see the physique. I don’t lose any muscle. I’m a lean, mean, fighting machine.”

Your Sister's Sister

Two half-sisters, played by Emilie Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt, are accidentally united when they show up at the family’s secluded cabin at the same time for a retreat.

Nothing celebrates family more than vegan pancakes and the sisters are joined by friend who offers to taste test some of fluffy goodness cooked up by Blunt’s character.

Adjectives like “terrible” and “challenged” are used.

But hopefully at least the family reunion gets better.

Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan gave an interview to CT.com on his birthday earlier this week. He had a hotel room full of vegan cupcakes but those aren’t the only treats he likes to consume. Bryan has a green thumb and a garden at the home he owns in Washigton state. If only he could live there sometime and actually get to plant what he eats.

Fruits, vegetables, stuff like that,” Bryan said. “I like growing stuff I can eat. To me, that’s a big thing. I own a house in Washington state and I have raspberries, I have a big apple tree, I have strawberries. I don’t get to plant stuff there because I’m never there. I really enjoy that sort of thing.”
