Comments Off on Vegetarian Russell Brand Will Send Jonas Brothers To Bed On MTV Music Video Awards
Russell Brand will be hosting MTV’s Music Video Awards this year. He spoke to E!Online about some of his plans for the show on September 7th:
“I’m planning to have lesbian kisses with Britney and Madonna individually,” Brand said. “It’s not going to be easy what with my genitals, but God, I will try.”
Although the Jonas Brothers will also be making an appearance, Brand joked they really should be in bed by that hour.
“We may have to cancel them, because I don’t think the show will be early enough for them,” he said. “Those boys will be sent promptly to bed if I come across them.”
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor was named one of Peta Europe’s Sexiest Vegetarians in 2007.

Comments Off on Bear Grylls Semi-Vegetarian At Home
What is a semi-vegetarian? And what does a semi-vegetarian eat at home? These questions burn away at our inquisitive minds, but we do know that these part-time vegetarians are confusing.
Bear Grylls is known on television for showing the world how you can survive in the most horrid conditions with ways such as extracting water from animal feces and gnawing down on raw flesh straight from the wilderness. However, at home, he admits to less carnivorous (and grossorous) eating habits.
The details of his semi-vegetarianism remain unclear, but anything beats his television diet of carcass surrounded by flies.

Tobey Maguire once spoke to Parade Magazine about being many things, including a gambler, an art collector, and a vegetarian who’s almost vegan:
“Actually, I’m close to being a vegan, but I’m not one, technically. I don’t eat eggs, or nearly any dairy—no cheese or milk. I do eat honey, and a piece of milk chocolate here and there…. It’s never really been that hard for me. I’ve never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. It had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that.”

Rocker drummer Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy spoke with Comic Book Resources last month during his visit to WizardWorld Chicago about his love of comics and some of his influences musically, including Earth Crisis and other political bands.
CBR: There are a lot of celebrities, especially lately, who have proclaimed a vague affection for comics, given that superhero movies have recently helped bring that genre and indeed the comic book medium to the public eye. However, they’re not all truly genuine in their appreciation of the medium. What sets you apart as a successful musician who happens to like comics?
Andy Hurley: I guess what sets me apart is I grew up reading comics. My brother kind of passed down his Marvel collection. It’s the same way I got into Star Wars and into music. That was kind of the legacy that was passed down to me. Once I got into punk rock in high school, I kind of had a phase where I wasn’t into comics as much, and I wasn’t really reading them. And that was when Warren Ellis kind of had his first run on “Transmetropolitan” and later “Planetary” and “The Authority.”… That’s what kind of reignited my faith in comics.
“When Fall Out Boy started we were all in hardcore bands together and the scene was getting so negative and so worthless. I got into hardcore because of Earth Crisis and Unbroken – a lot of political bands, and then punk because of Propagandhi and all of that stuff because of Rage Against the Machine when I was really young. I was really politicized and I had a reason. I mean, I’m vegan/straightedge still and that’s really important. In the end it was all just fashion and kids were idiots and the music was garbage and it just wasn’t saying anything anymore and I think it was a total bum-out.”

So you’ve probably already heard the news about Christian Bale’s arrest for assaulting his mother and sister. Bale has denied the charges.
With all of the negative press surrounding him lately, we thought we’d take a moment to highlight a more positive face of this actor.
Bale turned vegetarian at age 6 after reading Charlotte’s Web and has been active in numerous welfare groups such as Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund.
He was quoted once saying:
“My family has always been very interested in animal care and animal rights. All my pets are from rescue homes so I tend to be aware of these issues.”

Comments Off on Heather Mills Takes Vegan Shoemaker Friend On Vacation
Celebrities aren’t exactly known for packing light on trips and Heather Mills is no exception.
On a trip to Necker Island in The Caribbean, she took a team of 20 people with her, including, personal assistant, security guard, and vegan shoemaker friend.
We’re not sure if the friend is really…well just a friend or if she had plans to have her very own pair of vegan beach flip flops made for every day of the vacation.
It could be worse, though. Oprah Winfrey brings along a bra handler.
