Carrie Underwood interviewed with Chicago Country RadioUS 99.5 to discuss her life, her boyfriend, and her new album, Play On.
US 99.5: When was the last time you had a piece of meat?
Carrie: We had a problem like three years ago-I was in the recording studio…We ordered out and I asked the guy if the soup was vegetarian and he said, ‘oh yes, vegetarian, vegetarian’…I got it and there was a piece of chicken in it. But I don’t know if I actually ingested any.
US 99.5: If we could just have a moment of silence for the chicken.
The moment of silence was given.
Have you ever accidentally eaten meat in a pseudo vegetarian dish before?
Leona Lewis has teamed with the World Society For the Protection of Animals to promote their campaign, Animals Matter.
Pictured with her dog Misty for the photo shoot, Leona is asking you to pledge to take action against animal cruelty, from neglect and abuse from owners to those forced to endure hardship in the entertainment industry.
“Hi, I’m Leona Lewis and there are lots of things that matter to me-my family, friends and my music. But like so many of you, I’m an animal lover too and they’re welfare also matters to me.”

The lights went out during the interview segment, leaving both Alicia and Craig to chit chat by flashlight.
During the interview, Craig turned to Alicia’s Pecan Crusted Seitan recipe and was horrified!
“Seitan!” Craig said, and then proceeded to do a ritual over Alicia’s head mocking the removal of evil spirits.
Did the powers of seitan cause the lights to go out? Actually, it was probably the strong winds (70mph) that have been reported in the greater Los Angeles area.
“You can’t go eating stuff called seitan. Are you mad?” Craig asks.

Comments Off on Bob Barker Drury U “Dorothy Jo Barker Professorship Animal Rights”
Bob Barker has donated a million dollars to his alma mater, Drury University, to establish a program for animal rights, the Dorothy Jo Barker Professorship for Animal Rights.
Named after his late wife Dorothy, the program will offer studies on various animal rights issues.
“At the very least, the students who take this class will have more respect for animals,” said Barker.
“It’s taught by 6 professors all experts in their field,” said professor Dr. Patricia McEachern. “There’s no other class like this in the United States”
This isn’t the first time Barker has teamed up a higher education institute to educate others about animal welfare.
Earlier this year, Bob donated a million dollars to the University of Virginia Law school to establish an animal law program.
Sigh. A million here. A million there. Bet the animals are thankful they’ve got a wealthy man on their side.
Comments Off on Morrissey–“Not One Celebrity Chef Is Vegetarian”
Morrissey made a return to London’s Royal Albert Hall recently recovering from a collapse he experience last week on tour.
The singer seemed to be in good spirits, even joking about his medical ailment.
Moz has been known to insert his thoughts on vegetarianism during his shows and at Royal Albert Hall, he complained that “not one celebrity chef is vegetarian.”
Not yet, Moz, but we’re hoping it should happen any minute now.
Morrissey once made fun of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver saying, “That meat-fed horror Jamie “Orrible” Oliver. If he’s a master chef, then I’m Miss Brazil 1970,” after being asked who he would most likely kick in the eye.
Susie filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences”.
The couple has a five year old son who they’ve raised veg since birth and have participated in numerous vegetarian and animal welfare events for organizations such as PETA and the Humane Society.
