Vegetarian Star

Hot, hot, hot!

She’ll never have to call Tyrone for anything because The Vegan Scoop is all she’ll ever need.

Earlier this year, Erykah Badu got some samples of Wheeler’s Frozen Desserts.

She thoroughly enjoyed them and recently had the pleasure of receiving a copy of The Vegan Scoop, a recipe book filled with tricks and trades to make your own vegan ice cream at home.

“I can’t wait to make it at home,” she said, according to a recent post on Wheeler’s blog, titled, “Erykah Badu plans to “do it” at home with The Vegan Scoop.”

“I heard she was looking for a great vegan ice cream so I shipped her over 15 samples earlier this year,” said chef Wheeler del Torro, author of The Vegan Scoop.

Wheeler’s vegan Frozen desserts are crafted from soy and nut milk blends and certified organic ingredients.

Here Comes The Sun to help hundreds of farm animals.

Jim James, vocalist and guitarist for the band My Morning Jacket, has announced he’s donating a portion of the proceeds from his upcoming George Harrison tribute album to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary.

“I know this is something that George [Harrison] really believed in,” James was quoted as saying. “George was all about treating all creatures equally and eating responsibly.”

James and his hero have more than music in common, as he is a vegetarian like Harrison was.

James is using another name for the record, “Yim Yames,” instead of his real name.

The tribute album comes out later this month, but for now, you can still listen to a sample on Mr. Yim Yames website.

Mariah Carey’s been filming the video to her new single, “Obsessed,” from the upcoming album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.

Some have claimed the lyrics to “Obsessed,” are a knock against Eminem, the rapper she briefly dated long ago.

“Why are you so obsessed with me/ Boy I wanna know/ Lying that you’re sexing me/ When everybody knows/ It’s clear that you’re upset with me.”

But hubby Nick Cannon insists Mariah’s got no time for retorts like that and has no desire to “beef.”

“I don’t think that she would take her time. My wife doesn’t beef. She’s Mariah Carey. She’s not beefin’, she’s a vegetarian.”

For those too lazy to check the urban dictionary, beefin’ is a feud between enemies.

Is Nick joking around to come up with an antonym (saving the big words for the afternoon) for beefin’?

Or has Mariah really embraced the vegetarian life? She’s already given up the fur coat thing.

Watch the behind the scenes video of “Obsessed” and you tell us.

“Go vegan! Or at least eat less meat and dairy. For some reason, the eco movement has been slow and a bit wary to talk about this. But it is pretty much the best thing you could do for the environment.”

—-Bones’ actress Emily Deschanel to ecostiletto.com, when asked what her favorite eco friendly tip was that readers should know about.

According to the creators of Meat the Truth, livestock greenhouse gases account for more emissions than those made by every car, train, boat, and plane we get around in.

Ah, yes. Al Gore it’s time to do your thing. Let’s not let the most inconvenient truth of all get in the way of going totally green.

Joan Jett was spotted sporting her Farm Sanctuary T-shirt!

Noticeably missing from Joan’s side was her pig companion, but still, he was with her in spirit!

Farm Sanctuary strives to reduce or eliminate everything uncool about animal welfare,  and campaigns cover such issues as promoting and getting Prop 2 passed, ending the production of foie gras, and getting people to stop having dairy hookups.

Visit jezebel.com to see a picture of Joan wearing her Farm Sanctuary T-shirt.

We’ve touched on Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song” before, for which he won the Doris Day Music Award at the Genesis Awards in 1996.

The song was never released in the United States, but was a chart topper in the UK, even beating out famed hits like “Thriller” and “Beat It.”

The video depicts various scenes of basically humankind destroying the Earth-from pollution to war and famine to animal abuse.

Seal slaughter is an assault on both animals and the environment and Jackson features a short clip of one being clubbed by a hunter around minute 3:25.

Thanks to activism, Canadian Seal slaughters were down by 200,000 in this year’s hunt and history was made when the European Union voted to ban the trade of seal products.  In the past, Europe has been a target market for Canadian seal products.

Richard Linklater is an Academy award nominated film director and screen writer who’s credits include Fast Food Nation and School of Rock.

If you know Fast Food Nation, you know the story of the poor marketing director who, after discovering some good ol’ fecal matter in his company’s meat product, learns what other horrors come packaged in a “Value Meal.”

Linklater’s no fan of fast food, as he prefers “healthy mexican,” specifically, a restaurant in Austin, Texas called Mr. Natural.

“It’s this veggie Mexican food place, a healthy Mexican place, just about a mile on the East side on Cesar Chavez Avenue. It’s called Mr. Natural. It’s a healthy Mexican little buffet. It’s wonderful. It’s been there forever. It’s too good to be true. It’s a quick little buffet, you’re eating within like four minutes of when you walk in the door.”

Heading to Austin anytime soon? Mr. Natural’s menu offers vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and wheat free dishes like Potato Flautas, Picadillo de Soya, Cabbage Rolls, Tofu a la Mexicana, and Tamales.
