Vegetarian Star

“You find all kinds of things written about you that you don’t have the foggiest notion where they came from. I’m not a vegetarian. I love sushi and stuff like that. I do have to watch my fat intake, because I’m 78 years old.”
—Actor Clint Eastwood, in an interview with Canoe, on the rumors circulating the Internet that he is a vegan and/or vegetarian. We recently learned he practically fainted after learning of the rumor that he was a vegan. Apparently, he wants to make sure you know he’s no darn vegetarian either.

Well, excuse us, sushi man!

Country music star Emmylou Harris extends her activism for animals far beyond her plate.

She runs a dog shelter in her native state of Tennessee and performed at a Best Friends For Animal Society event designed to raise money to help four legged creatures in all sorts of ways, including getting them adopted.

Now, she’s teaming up with PETA to remind everyone to get their pet spayed and neutered and invite them in your home instead of keeping them chained outside.

You can listen to Emmylou’s radio PSA if you’d like, and be reminded that for some of us, respect for animals goes beyond deciding not to put them in our mouths.

If you’ve been keeping up with the news we bring you (and you should), you know that Jason Mraz switched to a raw foods vegan diet last Spring and is a homegrown avocado farmer.

He’s talked about his love for avocado before and mentioned it briefly with E!Online. When asked if he was an avocado expert, he replied:

“I like to think so. I certainly know how to choose them in a grocery store.”

Oh, Jason, Jason, Jason! You do so much more than choose the right ones in the grocery store.

Mraz has created his very own Chocomole, a chocolate mousse made with avocado.

Trying to be humble?

When he doesn’t have an avocado sweet tooth, Jason likes to cut them in half and sprinkle lemon juice on them before gobbling up.

Read the rest of Jason’s story with E! Online.

Forget the horse, forget the cowboy. Save a pig, eat a turkey!

Gwyneth Paltrow has no doubt taken a beating from the vegetarian community these days and for good reason, including her fur wearing ways in a Tod’s clothing ad.

Her “Spain…On The Road Again” series on PBS, which UKTV has now obtained the rights, features Gwynnie, celebrity chef Mario Batali, New York Times food writer Mark Bittman and Spanish actress Claudia Bassols and their culinary experiences while traveling through the country.

While filming the series, Gwyneth said she did not eat jamon, a cured ham product only found in Spain and Portugal, because she’s a vegetarian, according to UK’s Digital TV blog.

When she apologized to PETA for wearing fur for Tod’s, she did say that her and husband Chris Martin, Coldplay frontman, are “pretty much vegetarian.”

However, in the Huffington Post she wrote about how turkey always has a place (dead, not a seat at the table, that is) at her Thanksgiving table with recipe instructions for how to make turkey burgers!

Hollywood divas can be ever so confusing! For now, it’s assumed Gwyneth follows the “Save a pig, eat a turkey!” vegetarian plan.

Sandra Oh must have gotten Ellen Pompeo hooked on veggie grub since she took the cast of Grey’s Anatomy to Truly Vegan, an L.A. vegan restaurant a few months ago!

Ellen was spotted with her hubby, Chris Ivery, at L.A.’s Kitchen 24 eating veggie burgers.

As we brought you the news before, the entire Grey’s group Sandra took really enjoyed their vegan restaurant experience, including Patrick Dempsey, who couldn’t get enough vegan chocolate cake and Ellen, who returned to the spot several times after her first experience.

Whether or not Ellen Pompeo has “gone veg wild,” has not been determined. But it’s safe to say she’s got a thing for it!

For 15 years, singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb thought she was allergic to corn. Turns out she wasn’t and she wanted to celebrate. So she ate a corn dog at the Texas State Fair-minus the hot dog, according to Dallas News.

The vegetarian best known for her hit song in 1994, “Stay,” is getting married soon, but is not naming the lucky guy.

She’s a Texas native, and she dressed up as Sarah Palin for Halloween, but her views don’t mirror those of the party in which the current President who shares the same state as her stomping grounds belongs. Her fiance went as Joe the Plumber!

While it’s great Lisa knows she can eat corn, we just can’t help but wonder if she could have celebrated with something other than a hotdogless corndog, which probably resembled a mere hush puppy. Like maybe corn on the cob? Seems similar to ordering a Big Mac at McDonald’s with just bread and toppings.

But who are we to argue with a Brown University graduate?
