“Sex feels good, but we don’t go around having sex with anyone that attracts our attention. We say no to lots of things that would please us. I would like to punch people every now and then, but I don’t. I would like to have something for free rather than pay for it. I would like to skip to the front of the line… I don’t mean to brush aside the taste of meat, which is a powerful attraction. But its power is not without limit.”
—-Jonathan Safran Foer, answering the question of “What do I say to the idiotic line, “But they taste good” ???” during a online discussion of his book, Eating Animals.
Yeah, it never pays to be a meat slut. Ruins your health and reputation.
But if his assistant and X Factor mentor Sinitta is wearing real fur trim, she definitely isn’t a star.
What is with this bizarre looking accessory on her coat, anyway?
Seems as if an animal is crawling around her neck, hoping to pop out any minute to get its 5 minutes of fame on TV.
Of course, Sinitta probably knows the only way to wear a fur is to wear one more artificial than John and Edward’s (aka “Divas of Dublin”) gel preserved hairdos.
“I had a particular lack of enthusiasm for dogs—inspired, in large part, by a related fear that I inherited from my mother, which she inherited from my grandmother,” Jonathan said.
Jonathan discusses french kisses with the dog, dinners with grandma and how his wife’s pregnancy with his first son prompted him to write his latest book in the trailer.
In the world of strange, surprising and humorous news, we’re happy to inform you that Vanilla Ice is now a vegetarian.
Vanilla, who’s real name is Rob Van Winkle, sat down at Mom’s Diner in Florida with Miaminewtimes.com to allow the reporter to catch up on his life since Ice Ice Baby.
Although the public may think Van Winkle has lived a pretty uneventful life since his 90s breakout, some pretty exciting moments have taken place like being stalked by Madonna and going vegetarian.
After ordering orange juice, coffee, eggs with extra hot sauce, and hash browns from Mom’s Diner, Van Winkle reminded the waitress “No Meat.”
As for being stalked by Madonna, Van Winkle said, “She’s flying me up to Indiana to the set of her movie [A League of Their Own]. She’s taking my shirt off, putting me in her book. [He’s featured in her coffee-table picture book, Sex.] This is Madonna. I was just some kid. It really fucks with your head.”
Barack Obama and Michelle were set to host the very first state dinner banquet for visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
According to the UK Times Online, Singh is an abstemious vegetarian and the menu looks to be accommodating him quite nicely.
Although we were hoping for a total veg (damn those green curry prawns), Prime Minister Singh and the rest of the guest will have plenty of plant based items to choose from.
