Vegetarian Star

Like OMG, did you hear that Tina and Jim broke up, Marissa is pregnant, and Alicia Silverstone was eating tuna?!

Yes, this is how rumors get started people. We don’t know if this one is true or not, but with all the celebs seemingly having two faces lately, one for the veg heads and the other for the omnivores, we’re not so sure anymore.

Alicia Silverstone was reported to have grabbed a…tuna sandwich…while in the company of her husband, Christopher Jarecki, before heading off to a wedding at a private residence. But we have questions about this speculation…

Even after clicking on the pictures and seeing them in large view, we can’t tell what the sandwich is. It’s still in the container and you can’t make out the print. And there’s not one pic of either of them (Christopher is a vegetarian as well) putting anything in their mouths. It could have even been a veggie faux tuna sandwich.

We’re keeping mum on this one and hope our favorite Raw Balls girl didn’t cheat.

KFC has never really “done chickens right,” but it looks like Sophie Monk is doing vegetarian really, really wrong.

The Australian actress, who has worked with PETA (which of course means taken off her clothes) and claims to have been a vegetarian since she was 18, was spotted exiting a Hollywood Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, complete with bags of what looks to be non vegetarian food goodies in her arms.  And since California isn’t Canada, there’s no way she was carrying the new vegan chicken sandwich.

A few months earlier, she was quoted as saying:

“I think the message to KFC eaters [is that] you should think about what you’re eating. If you’re eating deformed animals that are being induced by hormones, you know, it can not be good for you.”

Maybe she’s not getting her own message.

Yes, KFC has been thanked by vegans, but this isn’t the best way to do it.

Russell Simmons has become the latest vegan celebrity to bite into Kentucky Fried Chicken’s new vegan faux chicken sandwich, which currently is only available in Canada.

He was one of many stars who worked with PETA to convince KFC to treat its chickens better before sending them off the slaughter. As part of the deal, KFC now offers a vegan chicken sandwich.

“As I bit into the delicious un-chicken and lettuce wrap, I remembered how frustrating and seemingly unfruitful mediating those talks between KFC, their supplier Yum Brands, and PETA were.”

“I have long been concerned with promoting better eating habits for myself, my family, my community and the planet. I am saddened by the fact that the most accessible and affordable food to low income communities is fast primarily unhealthy food. Therefore, I view KFC’s Canadian launch of this new vegan sandwich as the first step toward a more compassionate KFC and hope it will be made available here in the United States for all to enjoy.”

“If each one of us has a more watchful eye where we step, we will create a new earth where the abuse of the planet, the animals, and each other will be less prevalent. For that I thank KFC in Canada for making a conscious effort to support the growth of this new earth.”

Lisa Bonet and daughter Zoe Kravitz were recently spotted snacking at a vegan restaurant in NY. Bonet will be joining the cast of ABC’s Life on Mars on October 9th.

We expect she’s been pretty busy lately, which is why she took a break from acting not so long ago. The latest addition to the family, Lola Iolani Momoa, is only 13 months old!

Those of us who grew up watching T.V. in the 80s remember Bonet playing Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show, as well as A Different World.

While it’s true that some stars credit eliminating certain foods from their diet to better performance, Avril Lavigne’s vegetarian intentions are not about enhancing her singing.

“It’s a lifestyle,” she said.

Much of her lifestyle centers on eatings lots and lots of pizza topped with olives.

“Yes, it’s true. I love pizza. There’s a pizza joint in Napanee, Ontario, where I would go during lunch break from school, and I would eat as much pizza as I wanted. They named a pizza after me.”

With Sk8ter Boi girl being only 5’3″ it’s hard to imagine walking in and ordering the “Xtra-Large Avril Lavigne.”

Pamela Anderson is quite the vocal vegan, but when she’s not calling a particular carnivore b$%ch or wh#$e, she can be found giving more positive reinforcement, such as letting everyone know where the best vegan food establishments are in L.A.

“Los Angeles is the easiest place in the world to eat vegan,” she told the LA Times.  A lot of people know about the great meatless entrees at Real Food Daily and Newsroom Cafe, but there are some other places that have very unique menus.”

So if you’re in L.A. with some non veg friends and need to munch at a place that’s not as well known for tempeh, Anderson has been kind enough to point you in the right direction.

Pure Luck:

Fried pickles, vegan sloppy joes and BBQ sandwiches. And they cook with jack fruit, which is an amazing fruit they use to make the mock meat tangy.

Astro Burger

If you are a fast food junkie you can always count on the Astro Burger on Melrose near Paramount Studios for veggie chili dogs and soy chicken fajitas.

If you read the rest of Pamela’s list, you can actually vote on whether or not you think she knows what she’s talking about, at least when it comes to good vegan food.

Oops! This time it was Jessica,  not Britney that did it again. It was really just a booboo guys…

We actually have a little bit of sympathy for her. Poor Jessica Simpson has taken a lot of beatings from vegetarians and animal rights groups for making a the serious waldrobe malfunction of wearing a “Real Girls Eat Meat” T-shirt.

She said in an interview that she wasn’t surprised by the actions people took after she wore the shirt and that she really loves vegetables-she just loves meat too.

“I love vegetables but I could not be a vegetarian. I wish I could but I really do like meat. And yeah, I caught a lot from that but I just wore the shirt because I thought it was funny, I didn’t know that it was going to be so offensive to so many people. Oops.”

It’s always nice to see your students grow up and do so well. Former Butler University baseball player Pat Neshek grew up and joined the Minnesota Twins for a successful pitcher career. He suffered a slight setback with an injury a few months ago, but unlike Amy Winehouse, has a pretty good attitude about rehab.

The former student took time to talk to his former coach, Steve Farley at Butler, about injuries, rehab, and sticking to the veg diet. Neshek thinks it’s still hard to find decent vegetarian food away from home.

What has been the hardest part of the re-hab process?

“Watching the team play every night from the clubhouse or on TV if they are on the road. It drives me nuts not being able to contribute in a tight pennant race like this. Another thing that has been tough is not knowing what is going to happen with my arm. I like to plan things, and this injury is making it tough to tell when I might be back.”

Have you stuck with the vegetarian diet?

“Yep.”

How has that been going?

“It’s been going great. Even before I got hurt a lot of the cities we went to have great places to eat, so it wasn’t too bad on the road. I packed a lot of food with me in my suitcase before road trips for the tougher cities like Detroit. My wife has been great about cooking, and I don’t think I would make it too far without her. I think the toughest thing about it that holds back a lot of people is the convenience factor – you really have to go out of your way to eat good in this country. Hopefully over time more and more people will learn the truth about the food that is being served up and make the switch. I think this way healthier food will be easier to find.”
