Vegetarian Star

Skin Care For Athletes is an all natural, organic skin care line that does not contain any animal or animal byproducts. Recently the company was invited by GBK productions to attend the 2008 Golden Goggle Awards and present their goodies in the VIP Gift Bag.

Several athletes and celebrities were there to enjoy it, including “Ugly Betty” star Ana Ortiz, who plays Betty’s older (and very sexy) sister, Hilda.

“I love[it], love the smell and it feels so nice,” she was quoted as saying of the Tri-Body Moisturizing Spray.

It’s fantastic to see a cruelty free product being given props by celebrities, such as when Whoopi Goldberg was excited to hear the PureOlogy product she was using was vegan.

We at the Veg Star personally like Aubrey Organics products. Most are vegan, and of course none are tested on animals.

Do you have a beauty or personal care product that’s cruelty free you enjoy?

The Foo Fighters made a special guest appearance on Bravo’s Top Chef.

The band presented the elimination challenge to the food teams, which was to prepare a Thanksgiving feast for everybody in their crew, a total of over 60 people, some of which were vegetarian. The winning team would be invited to a concert later that night.

Team “Sexy Pants,” served the Foo Fighters and other judges vegan cornbread stuffing, which went over quite well and was preferred to the other team’s creations.

Check out lots of pictures of “Foo Fighters Thanksgiving.”

“Top Chef” is television series on the Bravo Network where chefs compete against each other in weekly challenges and are eliminated by judges who are professional chefs or otherwise notable people in the food industry.

We made it through Thanksgiving, one of the major meaty holidays, but now it’s time to start thinking about Christmas.

May we suggest Paul McCartney’s macaroni turkey?

Paul and his late wife Linda became vegetarians in the 70s. One Christmas, Linda was experimenting in the kitchen, trying to come up with a meat-free dinner.

“We had all the trimmings but we needed something to simulate the turkey,” Paul told the British newspaper Daily Express. “So Linda made macaroni cheese. It was good, then she let it stand so it went solid and I was able to slice it. It kind of worked so we called it the macaroni turkey.”

Sounds like a plan.

Nowadays, when Paul and his daughters are together, they enjoy the Vegetarian Roast, one of the products in the Linda McCartney food line.

“High School Musical 3” star Nicole Anderson, who is set to play Macy Misa in the Disney channel series, “JONAS,” celebrated Thanksgiving vegetarian style. This was her second Thanksgiving without turkey.

Last year, her mom wasn’t prepared for the switch and Anderson had to load up on side dishes.

“I actually turned vegetarian a month before Thanksgiving last year and my mom was not familiar with making special food for me, so I just grazed on mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, biscuits and pecan pie,” she told Just Jared Jr.

This year, mom had more time to learn and pulled off quite a master feast, which included teriyaki marinated tofu and lumpia, which is similar to a spring roll, with Boca Burger in place of beef.

Speaking of vegan/vegetarian Thanksgiving feasts, how did you stuff yourself yesterday? Any unique creations you can share with us?

“The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men.”
—-Pulitzer Prize winning author Alice Walker, best known for her novel, The Color Purple, which was eventually made into a movie and a musical.

The cheerleader from “Heroes,” Hayden Panettiere, who is rumored to be dating Milo Ventimiglia, has ruffled some feathers (fake ones of course) ever since the news broke of her decision to design handbags with Dooney & Bourke made from calf skin.

The vegetarian actress has been very outspoken on animal rights issues, such as saving whales from Japanese hunters who capture them for research purposes, so it was quite a shock to hear she’s using animals for fashion purposes.

Peta is using the opportunity to educate Hayden and made the following statement via media rep Heather Carlson:

“When celebrities get involved with animal rights in any way, we’re happy to work with them. Even if it’s on just one issue. Hayden has been wonderful on issues involving the slaughter of dolphins and whales. We are sure that she’ll extend her concern for abused animals to those less popular, like cows who are skinned for bags and shoes, once she sees our undercover footage, which we’ll be sending to her.”

Interestingly enough, the video is narrated by Pamela Anderson, who just signed a deal to promote fashions with Vivienne Westwood, who although stopped using fur, still uses leather in her creations.

Is this the leather blind leading the leather blind?

Guess Leona Lewis is one of the only true celebrity vegetarians who doesn’t eat meat or wear it.

Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan has been urged to only serve vegetarian food at India’s Live Earth festival on December 7th, 2008. Bachchan is the spokeman for this year’s event.

Live Earth is an annual event which features live performing artists and talks given by famous environmentally conscious people (Al Gore is in this year’s lineup) to raise awareness about environmental issues. Peta’s letter to Bachchan equates serving meat at a festival about improving eco-friendly relations to giving out cigarettes at an anti-cancer event. Ouch! Point taken.

“On behalf of PETA, India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to kindly ensure that no meat is served at the event by urging the event’s organisers to honour the spirit and goal of Live Earth by serving only vegetarian food, ” said Peta’s Chief Functionary, Anuradha Sawhney, in a letter to Bachchan.

“By doing so, you will send a strong message, that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits. After all, selling meat at a concert to benefit the environment would be like selling cigarettes at a cancer charity fund-raiser.”

“We also hope that you will take the opportunity to talk about the benefits of a vegetarian diet during the event, thereby educating millions of people watching worldwide. The animals and the environment would thank you – if they could – for taking such a noble step on their behalf.”

Some celebrities expected to perform include Will.I.Am, Anoushka Shankar, and Bon Jovi.
