Alex, I did not list people that did not appear on at least two sites. Some sites reported Michael Jackson as vegetarian others said his favorite food was Kentucky Fried Chicken.....not sure why the conflicting reports. It appears that after 4 days, articles are too old to make Top Posts for the most part. This particular article had already made Top Posts! I am planning to post another article on Friday! Thanks!

It's Phil Collen, not Collin, from Def Leppard, and he's vegan, not vegetarian. Rick Allen, Def Leppard's drummer, is also a vegetarian. Can you tell I'm a huge Lep fan??
