Celebrities are known to demand everything backstage and on the road, sometimes healthy and sometimes not.

Being a vegan, Weird Al Yankovic keeps his requests meat and dairy free, but he didn’t do his homework during his 2003 Poodle Hat tour.

According to The Washington Post, Yankovic is a big fan of white wine, his favorite being Chardonnay. “Yellow Tail brand is preferred,” said the source.

A quick check to the vegetarian and vegan friendly wine directory reveals Yellow Tail white wines are neither.

“Our [yellow tail] white wines, however, do use gelatin as part of the finishing/clarification process.”

Yellow Tail red wines are completely vegan though, and the sugar is derived from grape juice concentrate derived at the factory.

Weird Al Yankovic Spotted At Green Leaves Vegan Restaurant

Weird Al Yankovic has been spotted at Green Leaves Restaurant in LA. From vegan-la.com:

“I know people aren’t fans of Green Leaves, and neither am I after hearing about the problems. This sighting was before I knew about the unfolded drama on Green Leaves. My wife and I spotted Weird Al Yankovic eating at the West Hollywood location. I hadn’t known he was vegan, maybe he isn’t. He had a baseball hat on…who knew you could get all that hair under a baseball hat.”

The “problems” at Green Leaves refer to some independent tests done that suggested some of their vegan food contained casein and eggs.

Weird Al’s first book, When I Grow Up, has been acquired by Harper Collins.

A description from a press release says, “With gleefully dizzying wordplay, an exuberant eight-year-old tells his patient teacher and amazed classmates about the astonishing variety of humorous and inventive careers he plans to pursue when he grows up.”

“I’ve always wanted to write children’s books,” said Yankovic. “And now, it’s not only a goal, it’s a contractual obligation.”

When I Grow Up is due for release in Winter 2011.

Will Weird Al be spending lots of time on his laptop in vegan restaurants until then?
