Who Won’t Be Eating Turkey Today

I am not a huge fan of turkey, but Thanksgiving just doesn’t seem like Thanksgiving without one, at least to me. But, there are plenty of celebrities that won’t be eating turkey this year because they are vegetarian or vegan. PETA named funny man Russell Brand one of its Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities of 2011, so needless to say he won’t be gnawing on a turkey leg tomorrow. The female Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity of 2011 was Kristen Wiig of “Saturday Night Live” and Bridemaids fame, so no turkey for her either. There are several Academy Award winners and nominees who will … Continue reading

Celebrity Vegans – Part 1

I have a confession to make – I am a meat lover. I know I need to eat more veggies and fruits, but I honestly don’t ever think I could go totally vegetarian. I love a good steak and burger every once in a while. I am curious about the vegan diet. Obviously if I couldn’t go straight vegetarian, I really couldn’t go straight vegan (give up cheese – gasp!). But, I eat at a local restaurant that serves vegan items and one day, I promise myself I am going to try it. However, there are many celebs who are … Continue reading

What’s the Lesson Here?

So, model/sex tape star/reality TV guru/fashionista Kim Kardashian is now sporting a 20.5-carat engagement ring… because, you know, 19 carats just isn’t enough when you want to stick it to your sister and famous exes. Kimmie got the rock from her new fiance Kris Humphries last week. According to PEOPLE magazine, the 26-year-old pro basketball player knew the 30-year-old Kardashian clan member was “THE ONE” about six weeks after he started dating her. That was less than six months ago. As the tabloids tell it, the New Jersey Nets forward surprised his famous girlfriend by waiting on bended knee in … Continue reading

PETA “Hunts” Kristy Lee Cook

Remember Kristy Lee Cook from season seven of “American Idol?” The country singing Seattle native made to the Top 24, but she was repeatedly berated by the judges and often found herself in the bottom three before she was finally eliminated in seventh place. Like many other “Idols” who were eliminated before the finale, Cook has been able to stretch her reality fame into other opportunities. She is the star of a reality show called “Goin Country” on the Versus channel. The show follows her around the country as she tries to land a record deal. But, because Versus is … Continue reading

PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities

Voting for PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities of 2010 is still open. I read on Facebook that octogenarian Cloris Leachman, apparently not to be outdone by that minx Betty White, is currently one of the forerunners in the contest. Who will 2010’s winners join as sexy vegetarian celebrities? Newly single Shania Twain won in 2001, the first year the contest was held. Shania said she became vegetarian when she married her ex, Mutt Lange. At least she took something good away from the marriage. In 2002, PETA decided to have a sexiest male and female vegetarian celebrity. The male honors went … Continue reading

Nashville Gets Flood Relief

Nashville was devastated by flooding on the first of May. Almost 2,000 homes were lost and damages could be as much as $1.5 billion if not more. Fortunately, having the moniker of “Music City” is paying off for Nashville. Musicians from all over are uniting to help the city recover. On the 16th, GAC Network held “Music City Keep On Playin’ – A Benefit For Flood Relief,” a concert and telethon at the Ryman Auditorium. The Ryman was the home of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 until 1974. Due to flooding at the Grand Old Opry House, the show … Continue reading

Sandra Bullock and the Taylors Score Big at the People’s Choice Awards

If you’ve read my blogs, you know that I absolutely love the award season. It just kicked off with the 36th Annual People’s Choice Awards. Now some people scoff at the People’s Choice as not really awarding the most deserving people, but I figure it is important because the winners are chosen by the fans. Sandra Bullock may be starting what is her road to the Oscars last night with her win as Favorite Movie Actress for The Blind Side. She beat out some pretty stiff competition – Jennifer Aniston, Kristen Stewart, Drew Barrymore, and Anne Hathaway. Another Bullock film, … Continue reading
