Vegetarian Star

Who watched The Mentalist this weekend?

Unfortunately, it’s all business on the show and Owain Yeoman doesn’t strip down to his goodies like he did for his vegetarian public service announcement.

However, a little bit of veggieness snuck its way on a recent episode, Red John’s Friends.

After “The Mentalist” Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) helps an innocent man named Jared get out of jail, the agents drive away with the newly freed ex-prisoner, planning to utilize him to help them catch a serial killer, Red John.

The group gets slowed down as they drive through a huge mob of animal rights protesters with anti-fur signs.

Coincidence? Or is Owain putting his two cents in for suggested scenes?

British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson is just as known for her curves as she is for her cream pies.

But lately some have become concerned she’s been downing one pie too many and are afraid she’ll go from pleasantly plump to piggishly porky.

Lawson’s been a good sport, though, reportedly going to a personal trainer. Her fans are hoping she won’t go overboard. Or start eating like her vegetarian husband. From watoday.com.au:

“I hope she doesn’t turn into a size zero waif,” wrote a certain Mise, from Limerick, Ireland. “Nigella’s curves are what make her.” Another hoped she wouldn’t become “old and haggard” like husband Charles Saatchi, who turned vegetarian, swore off his wife’s food and lost 25 kilograms in the process.

What??!! Nigella’s man won’t eat her Anglo-Asian lamb salad, pancakes with wafer bacon and maple syrup, or Bulgar wheat salad with pink seared lamb (what’s up with all these baby animals, anyway?)?

If Nigella would go veg,  she sure would make things easier at home (honey, just take the lamb out of the Bulgar wheat), she’d shed those few unwanted pounds, plus have a better chance of living a long, healthier life with cabbage lovin’ Charles.

Not to mention a hot, one on one, cooking show she could team up with Heather Mills and do. Or maybe even a three-way. Pamela Anderson has expressed interest in a bikinis on the beach veggie TV series.

Nice little video of Rip Esselstyn, author of the Engine 2 Diet discussing how the firefighters of Austin, Texas’ Fire Engine Company #2 eat vegan during work shifts.

Rip encouraged the guys at Engine 2 to go veg after some were having medical problems like high cholesterol. According to the video, a study showed heart disease kills more firefighters than fire itself. 

Esselstyn’s book, which helped Newsweek’s David Noonan go vegan and lose weight, was written after he was inspired to go veg from his father’s research. His father, Dr. Caldwell Essestyn says, “Having the USDA design your food pyramid is like having Al Capone do your taxes.”

Esselstyn’s entire family eats vegan and it looks like the family favorite food is kale (Watch aunt Esselstyn rip the leaves off that plant, yo)

Best quote of the day starts at the beginning of the video when Rip says, “Real men eat plants and boys meat meat.”

Rip thinks in the next five years eating meat will be such a social disgrace, taking your tenderloin away from the picnic gathering will be equal to asking a smoker not to smoke inside.

While he may be a little overly optimistic, with more people choosing to at least flex or reduce some meats in their diet, Rip’s definitely onto some future trend.

There’s nothing like going to your hometown for a good vegan meal!

Erykah Badu and her family enjoyed some vegan grub at Spiral Diner in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas.

Badu was born and bred in Dallas and likes to stop by when she’s not touring.

It’s gotta be the food.

Silverstein’s Shane Told Tweeted about his love for Spiral Diner vegan brownies and ice cream.

In a world where LA and New York are the veg food meccas, it’s so cool to know the southern folk can get their vegan eatin’ on at a reputable place.

Heather Mills cooked up some tasty vegan recipes at the Brighton Foodie Festival this weekend. Heather recently joined Twitter because she said she wanted to share vegan recipes and “tell it exactly like it is,” and that’s exactly what she did when she spoke about veganism at the festival.

“They just think that it’s boring nut roasts and lots of hippy people who they think haven’t washed for months but they do, but that’s not what being vegan is about,” Heather said, according to the UK Daily Mail.

“It’s about being animal friendly, saving the environment and the planet. The biggest contributor of global warming is the consumption of meat and dairy, but of course they are not going to tell you that.”

Chef Heather (yes, we can officially call her that, now) gave audience members samples of leafy green and soy beefy stir fry, creamy sweetcorn chowder, and creamy nut korma with faux chicken.

The dishes were just a taste of what Heather plans to put on the menu at V-Bites, her new vegan restaurant in the UK.

Light years away from her past party life, Nicole Richie is living cleaner and healthier than ever.

She insists one-year old daughter Harlow and partner Joel Madden only consume organic fruits and vegetables. When she prepares meals for her family, it usually consists of lots of salads and vegetable stir fries.

Not surprising, considering Joel is vegetarian.

With Nicole’s new love of all things organic and veggie (she’s even growing her own organic, vegetable garden in the backyard of her home in Hollywood), and a man who doesn’t touch meat, will Nicole finally give in and go veg altogether? It surely would make things more convenient and healthier for the whole fam.

And there’s no better way to bring in expectant baby #2 in than starting it off with a plant based diet.

Best of luck to Nicole and her healthier adventures!

Heather Mills has just signed up on Twitter!

Tired of others impersonating her on the social networking site, Mills said she plans to use the site to share both her vegan recipes and “feelings on any number of things,” with the intention to “tell it exactly like it is”.

You can follow Heather @heatherofficial, where she’s already put up a couple of Tweets, including one about her Brighton Foodie Festival appearance today.

“I have to prepare all the food for the Brighton Foodie festival, so psyched to be invited to cook alongside some top chefs.”

Yesterday, she also made humor to the fact that the birds were Tweeting outside the first day she started Tweeting.

“Funny on my first day of twittering, the birds in my garden wake me up at 5am, twittering.”

Daisy De La Hoya recently suffered from exhaustion and had to recover in a hospital room, according to msnbc.com.

After hearing her complaints about the lack of serious men she’s trying to hook up with on Daisy of Love, it’s no wonder the poor gal gave out!

Apparently, these men are members of the Vh1 Fraternity and love to drink, drink, and drink. Did we mention they like alcohol?

Entertainment Weekly reported Daisy to have once said, “This is Daisy of Love. Not I Love Liquor.”

Too bad for Daisy, that she missed out on one contestant, Syracuse resident Brian Magee, who was let go shortly after winning a chance to compete on the show. Magee is a straight-edge vegan like Fall Out Boy’s Andy Hurley. And straight-edgers don’t drink alcohol.

Maybe in a different life Daisy. For now, it’s Bachelor Heineken or Bachelor Coors.
