The Pretenders Perform In Madrid

The Vegiterranean, a vegan restaurant created and owned by The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, isn’t exactly located in the hub of vegetarianism.

But that doesn’t stop her from bringing business to her hometown of Akron, Ohio, as she says mostly meat eaters dine there.

“Ninety per cent of the people who go there are meat eaters,” Hynde said. “They just think the food’s great and there’s not a bean sprout in sight.”

Not that Chrissie isn’t into anything with the word “bean” attached to it.

“I could eat beans on toast every day for the rest of my life, no complaints at all. I’m a buffet kind of person. I’d much rather go in for a buffet, load up my plate, sit down, eat and split, or have a piece of pizza on a doorstep or something. I can’t stand fuss.”

She’s not a party person either, stating she never gets invited because “they don’t invite vegetarians.”

But that may be for the best, as she gets to dart silly questions like, “Do you eat fish?”

“I’ve been having that same conversation for 40 years!” she said.

Justin Timberlake and Guy Ritchie visit the Punch Bowl pub in London, UK

If you thought your homeowners’ association was strict, listen to plight of Guy Ritchie.

Guy has to get permission just to grow some fruits and vegetables on his property! It’s all part of a plan to green the estate he and Madonna once shared to make it more efficient.

Because of the historical significance of Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, England, he’ll need clearance to build a greenhouse and vegetable plots.

The planning application, according to Starpluse.com, reads as following:

“In the estate’s prime when it was painted in the 18th Century, it was surrounded by extensive gardens including major vegetable gardens. In recent years, all productive vegetable gardens have been lost. The gardens that remain are formal or semi-formal flower gardens.”

“It is proposed to try to make Ashcombe House self-sufficient. The part-walled gardens leading from the back door to the staff building will be turned over to vegetables and given a row of greenhouses to produce vines, fruit, early vegetables and seedlings… Produce from the greenhouses will be used on the estate, all part of an effort to make the estate more self-sufficient and sustainable.”

Sure hope Guy gets his application approved. Home grown produce is the least he can do to make up for the forced ham diet he puts the children on at Christmas.

Michael Jackson’s Last Vegetarian Meals Revealed

MICHAEL JACKSON DEATH

AEG promoter Randy Phillips has revealed some of the last meals Michael Jackson ate while rehearsing for what would have been 50 sold out concert performances.

Apparently the vegetarian Jackson was so focused, he would forget to eat and Phillips and other members of the crew had to force him to.

“He used to forget to eat because he was so focused and Kenny Ortega and I used to cut up his food and physically feed him,” the UK Mirror quoted Phillips as saying.

Phillips said some of Jackson’s favorite dishes were vegetarian lasagna, steamed broccoli, nut loaf or tofu with chili sauce.

“Primo Olive Oil” and “Habanero Pepper Sauce” are just two of the products with John’s handsome face on them, along with “Double Baked Herbed Crisps” and “Peach Chitpotle Sauce.”

Speaking of faces, doesn’t John putting his mug on these remind you of all those Paul Newman products that dominate the shelves? Sure would be nice if John set up foundations and charities to help the world like Newman did.

“We are a gourmet snack food company on a mission to create products and recipes on a level you can’t ordinarily find at your grocery store. All of our foods are 100% organic, vegan and kosher. No animals were used or harmed in any way in the production of our foods.”

Notably missing are the ants, cow tongue and worms some of his competitors on I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here ate.

“4-time NBA champion and renowned television and film personality John Salley has been a vegan and aspiring chef for many years and has finally decided to bring his own unique take on organic cuisine to the public. John’s flavorful sauces and incredible snack foods prove that delicious treats can be vegan, organic and healthy, surpassing what you’ve known until now.”

Corey Feldman and wife Susie Sprague leaving Dantanas

Heroes’ star Milo Ventimiglia made a joke about being vegetarian since in the womb because his mother was vegetarian while carrying him and he’s always been veg.

But if Corey Feldman and wife Susie’s kid decides to work in Hollywood, he might give Milo a run for his money as being a vegetarian star since in utero.

Four year old Zen is vegetarian and has lived without meat “from conception,” as Corey calls it.

The actor, who says he spends 80% of his time doing charity work, likes to boast about how he convinced wife Susie to go veg.

The Pretenders Perform In Madrid

“I just don’t understand those meat eaters. How can they justify eating those beautiful animals? And how can they justify the fact that half the world is starving when there is enough food for everybody? We’re feeding grain to cows while people die of hunger. How can people not see that is wrong?”

—-Chrissie Hynde, in a recent interview with the Liverpool Daily Post. Chrissie likes to stay in the business of what she can get, and that’s owning her own vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, in her hometown of Akron, Ohio.

Contestants from the new NBC show Im a celebrity get me out of here give an interview about the upcoming show

The brief stint Torrie Wilson had on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, has caused the former meat eater to go vegetarian and almost vegan.

Guess those meals of worms, cow tongue, and bull testicles kinda turn off the carnivorous desire in you.

During an interview with the Baltimore Sun, Torrie said, “I’ve changed my entire way of eating after the show. I became a vegetarian, almost vegan. I feel wonderful after having the cleansing I had there and getting off sugar.”

Perhaps a little John Salley rubbed off on her? The basketball legend was reported as being “verbally abusive,” as contestants participated in the eating contests because he wouldn’t stop talking about how nasty the delicacies like bull testicles were.

Torrie is a retired fitness instructor, model, and professional wrestler, so she and Diva Tiffany from Extreme Championship Wrestling should hook up and share some recipes.

Torrie came in second to Lou Diamond Phillips and ahead of Salley, who finished third.
