Comments Off on Have An Inaugural Ball With Nellie McKay
Your inauguration tickets get lost in the mail? Cause you know you were sooo invited, being the special person that you are.
Don’t be disheartened, vegan singer-songwriter Nellie Mckay will throw a little ball of her own with live music at the Sixth and I Historic Synagogue.
She, along with bands Jukebox the Ghost and These United States will be performing Of Great and Mortal Men: 43 Songs for 43 US Presidencies.
The event is Saturday, January 17th and tickets are $16 in advance, $20 at the door.
Not sure if there will be any vegan appropriate hors d’ oeuvres served, so fill up on some vegan junk food before the event.

Chi-Force
Eric Nies became famous for running around shirtless with the cast of the original MTV Real World series, exposing his pecs, abs, and whatever other parts the camera could legally show.
Last year, he and brother John created Chi-Force, a health and fitness program which combines ancient Eastern health philosophies with Western training techniques and Eric now considers himself a vegan life coach.
You can currently catch Eric on Vh1’s Confessions Of A Teen Idol, where former childhood stars openly air how sudden fame affected their lives and attempt to revitalize their careers.

Comments Off on Misha Barton Ate Mostly Vegetarian In Goa
Misha Barton was doing some serious blogging while still on vacation. She sounds a little like us!
The actress wrote, after returning from her holiday stay in Goa, that she ate mostly a vegetarian diet.
The ocean there was so beautiful and warm I didn’t want to get out. I would swim all day, ate mostly a vegetarian diet and bought some beautiful things from the vendors I bargained with — jewelry, saris, you name it.
Could Misha be doing a little experimenting before crossing over all the way?
In a previous post during her vacation, she mentioned she was exploring the spiritual culture in India and taken a liking to some of the healthier practices the people did.
I must admit I used to make fun of people who were all into yoga and chai tea thinking it was another ridiculous health fad. But now I’m that person! First of all Masala Chai tea, the traditional way with milk and sugar is delicious, and this is coming from a brit who only likes my breakfast tea!

Dancing With The Stars contestant Cloris Leachman was an 82 year old who could strut, stride, and perform sexy moves with men young enough to be her great grandsons (she happens to actually be a great grandmother, by the way).
When viewers at home saw her on their televisions last season, they probably choked on their popcorn. But Cloris is about to give the recently passed 111 year old Californian a run for her money in longevity and she’s using the same weapon: a vegetarian diet.
Cloris has been a vegetarian for 50 years.
She said you “have to decide” to be young, and it appears she took the right path leading to the fountain of youth. She’s no stranger to the screen, starring in shows such as “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
She recently served as the grand marshal of the 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade.
Young at heart, vegetarian, and she’s also scored lip smacks with some very younger men. Take a look at the cougar shots.

The Best of Raw poll brought to our attention that vegan raw chef Ani Phyo swept several categories like Amy Winehouse took Grammies at last year’s awards ceremony.
However, we neglected to inform you that one of our favorite raw vegan men, Jason Mraz, took home his vegetable statue as well. Mraz was voted the number one raw vegan musician!
Remember, if you’re writing to congratulate him, do so on poop paper only, please.
We took a good glance over the list to see if there was any other celebrity we left out and we think we’ve got it covered.
But just in case we don’t, view the list yourself and see who else was raw enough.

Bristol Palin, the daughter of the infamous former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, is one of the latest victims of PETA.
Well, depending on how you look at it, she may or may not be, as it looks as though they’ve given some cute, innocent gifts to her and her newborn, Tripp.
A few months ago, Sarah made a statement to someone in the media (media appearances always get her into trouble, just take a look) that she and husband Todd “never met an animal they didn’t like – to eat or shoot.”
This obviously rubbed PETA the wrong way and besides throwing snowballs at Sarah, they responded to the Palin predicament by sending daughter Bristol these “gifts.” You could call it a “PETA baby shower.”
Bristol’s late Christmas presents include a baby outfit that reads, “Gives Peas A Chance”, Ingrid Newkirk’s 50 Awesome Ways Kids Can Help Animals, and her latest One Can Make A Difference book as well.
Oh, and we can’t forget the nice letter recommending Bristol and Tripp stop eating the wolves her mother shoots from the sky and go vegetarian.
Some say PETA has gone too far and that Bristol is an innocent teenage girl who’s never publicly made statements similar to her mother and shouldn’t be targeted as such.
Then again, you could call it PETA just doing its job.

Comments Off on Florida Gators Fan? Stop By Sublime Before The Big Game
If you bleed Gatorade, there’s a chance you might be at tonight’s FedEx BCS National Championship Game of Florida against Oklahoma. Best of luck to ya!
Before the game, how about filling your belly with food from Sublime restaurant, located in Fort Lauderdale. The owner, Nanci Alexander, who also happens to be an animal rights activist, will serve up some delicious meat-free fine dining that’s perfect for some tailgate or after game grub.
Choose from tofu caviar, pizza with soy mozzarella cheese, or “Steak” sandwich made from Gardein protein substitute, among other items on the menu.
Her restaurant was on PETA’s top eight veggie establishments, so you know it’s got to be good. Plus, with celebrity visits from folks like Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson, and Bob Barker, you know it’s star approved.

Chrissie Hynde has much to celebrate this New Year. She and her band The Pretenders have their first album out in six years, Break Up The Concrete, and are currently on tour.
Her vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, has been opened for over a year and doing quite well in her hometown in Akron, Ohio. It’s also been named one of the eight best vegetarian restaurants in the country by PETA.
The fantastic thing about Chrissie’s restaurant is it’s not located in a stereotypical region where you’d think veganism would thrive, like New York or L.A. But Chrissie has made it work and that’s great news to anyone living on the outskirts of the vegan food movement who thinks there’s no hope for their small or self described “backwards” town.
In fact, several Midwestern restaurants made the list, including two in Ohio and one in Chicago.
Check out the rest of the winners to see if your territory is covered. Are there any restaurants you think should have made the cut? Tell us about it!
