Johnny Marr: Not The Tabloid Vegan Bad Boy Anymore

The MOJO Honours List 2009 - Arrivals

When Johnny Marr and Morrissey were together for The Smiths (something that will probably never happen again unless Morrissey eats his genitals), the media portrayed each of them as opposite stereotypes.

“That all started with the Smiths,” Marr told the Daily Mail. “Morrissey was meant to be all about vegetarianism, celibacy and Virginia Woolf. I was all about football, clothes and a bit of pot-smoking. That’s very reductive. If people bought into that, I don’t blame anyone but myself. If you’re in a successful band, you tend to fall into a role.”

“…I’m not remotely laddish. I’m a grown-up. I’m vegan and teetotal. I run 50 miles a week, listening to Franz Ferdinand and the Four Tops at top volume.”

With all the stories of celebrities falling to drugs recently, it’s great that Johnny is publicly talking about what a clean life he lives.

Who needs drugs when you can have hot sauce on seitan?

Stic.man of the hip hop dual Dead Prez sat down with limitemagazine.com to talk about his music.

But as you know by now, any vegetarian or vegan celebrity has to throw some veggie bits in any interview they give and Stic.man gave a little background information on why he changed his diet and lifestyle habits.

“After seeing the negative effects of the drug game, the poor fast food diets in our lives and also training in martial arts. My wife is a holistic health counselor and author of the book Vegan Soulfood Guide to the Galaxy so I live it all day everyday. My son is 8 and vegan as well.”

Stic’s wife?

None other than Afya Ibomu, who served as Erykah Badu‘s nutritionist and diet counselor during her some of her tours.

Great musical career, good looks, good woman who knows how to cook vegan…

As Rod Stewart sings “Some guys have all the luck.”

Natalie Portman No Longer Vegan Thanks To Carvel Ice Cream?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, August 28th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

The Apple Store in Soho presents Meet The Director: Natalie Portman

Has one of our favorite vegan actresses fallen to the scoop?

During an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal for Interview magazine, Jake asked Natalie Portman what her favorite food was.

Natalie said she not only loved “Carvel Ice Cream,” but there was no way you could make it any better.

PORTMAN: Well, I don’t think you can really improve upon Carvel ice cream cake.

GYLLENHAAL: I’m more Baskin-Robbins style myself.

PORTMAN: Oh really? I am so Carvel. Did I just bring us back to 1985 Long Island?

From the dialogue provided, it looks like Natalie was thinking back in the days…when she still ate dairy.

1985? Wasn’t she still sporting her training wheels while eating that Carvel ice cream?

What do you think? Is Nat milking the cow while she listens to obscene hip hop music?

We’d hate to think so, given the fact there are so many vegan ice cream brands out there.

Halloween 2 Gave Sheri Moon Zombie Food Horror Stories

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, August 28th, 2009 in Actresses, Film & TV, Food & Drink.

Halloween 2 Premiere in Hollywood

Sheri Moon Zombie, wife of director and musician Rob Zombie, learned the hard way it’s not always easy to get veg food in every part of the country.

While filming for Halloween 2 in Georgia, Sherri said she had the choice of either fast food or Walmart.

“I did not like Georgia at all. We stayed in this town called Covington and, whenever I had a day off, it was Walmart or fast food. I’m a vegetarian, so I don’t eat fast food. And, I said, “If I go into Walmart again, I’m going to shoot myself.”

Sounds like a true horror story.

Rob’s a veggie too and he’s even included two main characters that are vegetarian in Halloween 2, which hit the theatres today.

UK Film Premiere: Ano Una - Arrivals

Hilarious!

Chrissie Hynde is normally quite calm, but still opinionated when sharing her views on vegetarianism and animals.

We think all the excitement from one of her recent performance made her a little less inhibited.

In Toronto, Chrissie grabbed the mic and yelled:

“Meat eaters, go [expletive]yourselves.”

Fiona Morrow at theglobeandmail.com wanted to keep her column clean.

You can fill in the blank as to what you think Chrissie said.

Poor Chrissie had to say something after she smelled something coming from the barbecue stand.

Wonder why she didn’t just ban meat like she’s done before?

Montell Williams Grills PETA President Ingrid Newkirk

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, August 27th, 2009 in Food & Drink, TV Hosts.

The Montel Williams MS Foundation Gala

You’ve probably heard by now that PETA has replaced it’s controversial “Save The Whales” billboard featuring an obese woman with one less offensive, but still advocating vegetarianism.

Talk show host Montell Williams recently sat down with PETA’s president Ingrid Newkirk to discuss the billboard.

Williams’ questions whether PETA went too far.

MW: Ingrid, you have admit, come on, I’ve got it, you were controversial, you hit your home run, it went out of the park, I’m talking about it for three days. And the rest of America is going to keep talking about it. But the truth is, I think Joseph is right. Any child who would use that as a reason, or anybody who now says ‘those fat people are people who pick on animals,’ come on, we’ve got to slow down a little bit.

IN: I wish more than anything you can ever imagine that we could not be controversial, and we could not be provocative. I really do.

Montell even suggests why not make it equal opportunity and put men on the billboard versus targeting women.

His daughter, Wyntergrace, is veggie.

Maybe he’s afraid one day she’ll get naked for a campaign!

Top Chef Delivers Winning Tofu Dish

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, August 27th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Reality TV.

Top Chef: The Tour 2 Visits New York City

Top Chef included a gender bending vegan challenge during a recent elimination.

The guys had to cook for the bride and the women had to cook for the groom.

The bride’s entourage required the cheftestants to cook for a vegetarian in the bunch.

Scott Tobias, at avclub.com, made light of this situation by poking fun of the pescatarian bride:

“Meanwhile, the bride is more troublesome: She’s a pescatarian (Swim, Nemo, swim! Faster! Faster!) and one of her friends is a vegan, so plenty of fish and at least one non-animal-based dish are an absolute must.”

In the end, the guys won and cheftestant Hector got praise for his tofu dish.

Which is nice, Tobias pointed out, since seitan got the ax last time.

We won’t ask what happened to Flipper. It might be too hard to handle.
