Celebrities have so much power in our society. What they wear, what they say and how they eat have the potential to influence so many of us who admire them. So it’s wonderful when actors, musicians and athletes use their power to promote positive, compassionate change. Here’s hoping that with friends like Usher and Ellen DeGeneres supporting him, Justin Bieber might give veganism a try.

Hip hop artist Usher is embracing the benefits of veganism and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned he’s loving it so much that he’s urging his protégé Justin Bieber to jump on the vegan bandwagon, too!

Usher, 33, has always had a flare for the vegetarian, but according to insiders, he’s taking it to a new level by going vegan — and loves what it’s doing to his rock-hard abs.

“Usher frequents a few vegan restaurants in New York City and not only loves the food, but feels like it’s the healthiest way to live,” a source exclusively told RadarOnline.com.

“He’s desperate to get Bieber on the same health kick he is and thinks with all the touring and busy schedule he has, it would keep him energized.”

The insider also reveals that Usher’s father died of a heart attack in 2008 so the Scream singer is careful not to fall to the same fate.
