Vegetarian Star

Sure, she may be the queen of dispensing advice on eating right on a vegan diet, but Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman used to be a junk food lover, as she reveals in this latest video during an interview with PETA.

“I’m the girl who used to eat fast food every single day of my life,” Freedman says.

Veganism should be about health, but that doesn’t mean it always needs to be the brown rice and kale Freedman is getting cozy with in the camera. Veggier versions of desserts and vegetarian fast food restaurants are popping up around the globe.

Who loves vegan curry? None other than newbie vegan man of the year Mike Tyson.

The former boxer had dinner at the Bombay Brasserie in the Braodway, Petersborough area in the UK, where he was reported to have ordered all vegan curries, which, although presumably delicious, didn’t stop him from signing autographs and taking pictures with fans.

Zooey Deschanel has already revealed her multiple food allergies made attempting to be vegetarian and vegan a nightmare.

Soy, wheat, dairy and eggs are all no-nos. At the end of the day that leaves little left in terms of vegetable protein (rice, legumes) so Zooey gave in and welcomed meat into her life.

Stella McCartney has been chosen as the creative director for the British Olympic Team!

Stella’s title means she’ll be overseeing everything the athletes wear, as well as the fan wear. Her partnership with the Olympic brand Team GB marks the first time a fashion designer will be responsible for the attire of the entire British team, including for the 2012 London Games.

Stella called her role, “an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” and her words may be more than sentiment for other fashion designers.

No other designer has been granted involvement with the Olympic games at such a high level, the closest coming to the honor being Ralph Lauren being responsible for the opening ceremony outfits for team USA at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Myq Kaplan Stand-Up Comedy from Myq Kaplan on Vimeo.

Myq Kaplan (pronounced “Mike”) is a favorite Last Comic Standing among television bloggers, partially due to his ability to successfully incorporate ripping himself as a meatless man.

The vegan for about 5 years who was vegetarian for about 8 years before that has a hilarious clip from Conan O’Brien where he jokes about the lifestyle. Not all vegetarians are treehuggers and love the environment, for example.

“People assume I’m into other kinds of activism,” Kaplan says. “Oh, you’re vegetarian. You care about the environment…No. I eat the environment.”

Veganism isn’t the only medium from which Kaplan can get roars from the audience. He jokingly offers insight to Prohibition and Women’s Suffrage and why one led to another…and back again. Watch the clip for more.

The owners of Sugar Cupcakery were thrilled to compete on the debut episode of the Food Network show, Cupcake Wars, but along with the fame and excitement came a little apprehension.

Krista Tevar of the bakery described a situation akind to a football team playing on a turf other than home. It’s hard to get adjusted sometimes.

“I thought, ‘How are we going to pull this off? We’ve barely gotten the store open,'” Tevar said. “It was challenging to work under the time constraints and to be out of our element. We didn’t have the equipment we’re used to and everything was different, especially the ovens.”

“Vegan cupcakes in particular have certain cooking temperatures and times that we’ve honed to our equipment. We have no real culinary experience, so it was hard to jump into another place.”

British singer Eliza Doolittle filmed the video for her top 20 single Pack Up from her self-titled debut album on the island of Jamaica.

That environment alone sounds hard enough to conentrate on work, plus the food was something that kept calling Doolittle between film breaks.

“Oh my God, the food was amazing!” Doolittle told BBC News. “I’m vegetarian so I didn’t have any jerk chicken or anything, but I did have some bean soup, and jerk vegetarian wraps and stuff. It was so yummy!”
