Morrissey banned any food that "used to have a face" from his concert in New York this week. The ardent vegetarian - whose second album with his former The Smiths was titled "Meat Is Murder" - demanded the Webster Hall venue be a meat-free zone before, during and immediately after his performance on Wednesday night.

To prove he still isn't ready to make nice with NME, British singer Morrissey had the music magazine's editor removed from a Los Angeles hotel where they were both staying.
