Ruben Studdard went veg in 2006 to combat some health problems and ended up losing some love handles as well.
However, last time he was asked if he was still sticking to his vegetarian diet, he replied, “Currently trying to return.”
Talk about disappointment! We were saddened to learn our favorite American Idol teddy bear had fallen off the wagon.
That’s why we’re ecstatic to learn that he might at least have one leg in the wagon again.
When interviewed recently by boston.com, Ruben asked, “So, where are the good vegetarian restaurants in Boston?”
Does this mean Ruben is back to veg for good?
He’s currently working his butt off, probably both literally and figuratively, starring in the Fats Waller musical Ain’t Misbehavin‘.
Studdard’s been performing eight shows a week for the past five months! You know that takes a lot of his favorite Morningstar Farms products, veggie buffalo wings, and PF Chang’s dinners he loves so much to refuel.
Glad to hear he’s asking about the veggie spots in town. Hopefully, this means he’s no longer misbehavin’ with his diet.
Have you ever fallen off the vegetarian wagon? What made you do it? How did you get back on it? Confess now!

Ah, voting is the beauty of a free country.
Unfortunately, postage in the United States is nothing but free, as rates continue to increase.
Fortunately, the good old men and women that won’t let rain, sleet, and snow stop them are great about coming up with neat collector and special edition stamps that make price hikes hurt less.
The Simpsons will soon have their place in postal history and you have the chance to say whether you’d like to pay 44 cents for Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, or Maggie.
We’re rooting for vegetarian Lisa!
Vote here now!
You can also enter to win an autographed limited edition poster by Simpsons’ creator Matt Groening.
Result tallying starts April 13th and the instructions on the website say “vote early and often” so apparently you can left click until your heart’s content for Lisa.
Because she’s really the only Simpson who can say, “Don’t have cow, man,” and mean it.

Just when you think you’ve heard everything about President Obama, new news surfaces.
In 2006, when Barack was an Illinois senator, he wrote a letter to PETA condemning the Canadian seal hunt.
Yes, THE PETA. Who knew Barack had such animal lovin’ roots!
“I share your concerns about the Canadian seal hunt,” Obama wrote in a letter to the organization, dated April 13, 2006.
“As you know, Canada annually opens its eastern waters to commercial seal hunting. The United States and European Union have been unified in their opposition to the slaughter of seals by passing legislation decades ago to restrict the sale of seal-based products within their borders.”
“I certainly believe in the spirit of these acts; the U.S. should not condone this recent Canadian action.”
Much ado has been made about the level of physical fitness of the current president. (Shirtless photo, shirtless photo, shirtless photo.)
Would it be inappropriate for us to suggest the President of the United States to take off his shirt for PETA in the name of animals? Even jokingly? We certainly hope not.
One thing’s for sure, it’s definitely appropriate for Obama to continue to champion for animals while in office.

Not long ago, we brought you the rumor going around that Michael Jackson was planning to use live animals during his comeback tour and that the show would feature wild animals accompanying Michael on stage such as elephants, panthers, and birds.
PETA received word that Michael does not plan to use such animals or any live animals in his shows. Whew! Wipe sweat from brow.
However, they’re still not letting him Off the Wall yet.
In a recent blog entry, the group chastised Michael for his previous mistreatment of animals.
“Too bad he still has a spotty past when it comes to compassion for animals. It had been widely reported that Jackson planned to ride an elephant on stage and use panthers, but subjecting animals to amplified noise, bright lights, and the fast pace of a massive concert production is cruel. Plus, his rap sheet from the not-too-distant past includes dumping his chimpanzee, Bubbles, with a Hollywood trainer. And many of the animals he left behind at Neverland Ranch ended up being sold at auction, despite repeated offers from PETA to help place them in sanctuaries. His orangutans were reportedly sold to a private owner in Connecticut, two of his alligators are languishing at the disgusting G.W. Exotic Animal Park, his giraffes in the care of a private owner in Arizona are on the verge of being evicted, and more.”
“Michael, it’s bad, it’s bad, and you know it.”

Radio One DJ Fearne Cotton recently featured a documentary about websites encouraging girls and women to starve themselves.
According to the UK Sun, during the documentary, The Truth About Online Anorexia, Fearne met a woman whose daughter had died of the disease as well as an anorexic woman who runs a “pro-ana” website which encourages girls with eating disorders by printing diet tips and pictures of bone-thin models.
Fearne thinks many celebrities who blab about their latest diet should keep quiet because of the negative impact they could have on young girls.
“I think that is irresponsible. If you are doing a diet and you are a role model, don’t go splashing it about, because kids might just take hold of it and start doing it too.”
“When I was a kid I would always look up to people like Zoe Ball and Denise Van Outen and, whether they liked it or not, I would be influenced by what they said. So, as someone who is on TV now, I feel I have to take some kind of stance as a role model. I would hate to put out any kind of unhealthy advice.”
Fearne has no problem sharing the secret to maintaining her figure by following a vegetarian diet and lots of exercise. And giving chocolate the thumbs up, too.
“I eat a healthy diet but my social life revolves around eating out and I love baking more than anything in the world, and eating chocolate.”

Some say the college years are the best times of their lives. Deirdre Imus, radio talk show host Don Imus’ wife, possibly made one of the best decisions in her life in college.
While attending Villanova university, Deirdre became very interested in correlations between the environment and health. She soon learned a vegetarian diet played a huge factor.
From dotmed.com:
“Because I was involved in athletics at school, I wanted to be as fit as possible. I learned how variations in my diet could affect my performance on the track. I paid attention to the food I ate, and it was easy to extend that concept to all the things that could affect my health, and of course, that’s everything you come in contact with on a daily basis.”
“From what I learned, I became a vegetarian, and have been for about 25 years now.”
Deirdre and Don run a ranch in New Mexico designed to give the American cowboy experience to children with cancer or blood disorders or who have lost a sibling to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The menu on the ranch is strictly vegan and only natural, non-toxic cleaners are used.
Deirdre has her own name in the business world without Don as well. She is the Founder and President of The Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology® at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, as well as the author of several bestsellng books.
