Imogen Bailey Wanted To Be Lawyer, Now Looking To Act

Imogen Bailey poses for PETA Ad

One vegetarian star is retiring from the film business, one is hoping to make her debut.

Imogen Bailey is looking to launch a career as an actress.

The vegetarian model has graced the cover of several magazines, including Ralph, FHM, ZOO Weekly, Playboy and Black+White Magazine.

She’s also competed in reality TV shows, including “Celebrity Big Brother” and “Celebrity Survivor”, where she won third place.

Perhaps our favorite modeling gigs she’s done are the ones for PETA, such as the one pictured here.

Not to mention she’s super-smart, participated in some highly intelligent nerdy after school activities, and had plans to go to law school. “As a little girl I wanted to be a lawyer. I loved debating and was on all the debating teams,” she told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Loved debating and arguing? No wonder she’s so opinionated and has no problem lending herself to animal rights organizations. At home, she shares space with three Maltese terriers and describes each of them “deaf,” “blind,” and “pure evil.”

Meatless Mouthful: Dennis Kucinich Another Non-Judging Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, November 16th, 2008 in Meatless Mouthful, Politicians.

House Oversight Committee investigates AIG in Washington

“I don’t believe that you can tell anyone what to eat. I think it’s the worst thing in the world to start to tell people—to start to dictate—choices of food. You just can’t do that. But you can show people that if they make choices in a certain way, healthy choices, it might improve the environment. It’s an educational process.”

—-Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), in an interview with VegNews Magazine. The vegan congressman has just earned his seventh consecutive Congressional win this month and boy, has he been busy during his terms.

He’s worked towards food safety, better agricultural practices, and made sure more funds were available to enforce the Animal Welfare Act, among other things.

Like Moby, he thinks you can talk the talk, but not force the walk. Who would’ve thought a suit wearing politician in D.C. and a singer living in New York City’s Little Italy would have so much in common?

Ellen Degeneres Getting Salad Bargains With Even Bigger Show

YES! on Prop 2 Campaign to stop Animal Cruelty Event - Beverly Hills, CA

Ellen DeGeneres went to Sin City to film her upcoming show on TBS, “Ellen’s Even Bigger Really Big Show,” which will air on November 29th.

It’s a followup to last year’s show “Ellen’s Really Big Show.” and features various performing acts in different genres, such as comedy and music.

She may be happy that what she eats stays in Vegas, cause it doesn’t look like she had a lot to choose from.

She jokingly said that one of her “favorite” things to do in Vegas is eat at buffets because now that she’s vegan, she just eats the salad and gets a bargain.

Glamour Woman Of The Year Awards - Arrivals

The UK based music talent search competition, “X Factor,” has some judges on the panel who know how to judge a good diet when they see one.

Danii Minogue, follows a strict organic diet that excludes meat and dairy. And fellow judge Cheryl Cole also follows a mostly vegetarian diet, but eats seafood here and there. For Cole, miso soup and edamame beans have the X factor.

If you remember us telling you, Simon Cowell, king of judging mean and creator of “X Factor” (along with creating the popular series “American Idol”) once tried a vegetarian diet for a week and reported he could not get enough of Linda McCartney’s vegetarian sausages.

Peace One Day - Stage Performances

Rachael Ray is really feeling some love from vegetarians and vegans lately.

First, we learned of how her brand new cookbook that she calls BOB, features an entire chapter of recipes devoted to meatless cooking.

Now, she’s featuring vegan musician Bryan Adams’ favorite juice recipe in the December ’08/January ’09 issue of Everyday With Rachael Ray.

Adams must stock up on a lot of pineapples, ginger, and peaches when he goes to the grocery store.

Best of all, the Pineapple-Ginger Juice recipe is completely sweetened by nature.

May we suggest drinking this to wash down your Thanksgiving Tofurky feast this year?

2008 Woodies Awards are presented in New York

“When I was about 18 years old, I had this realization — I’ve always loved animals, I love my dog, I love my cat — and I had this simple realization that I wouldn’t want to be involved with anything that would cause my dog to suffer, therefore I shouldn’t be involved in anything that causes other animals to suffer. That led me to be a vegan.”

“I do try to be a nonjudgmental vegan, so if someone chooses to eat meat that’s their choice, just for myself and keeping my conscience relatively clear, I choose not to.”


—-Moby, in an interview with Pelly Twins. He does a lot of work with the Humane Society because he thinks they’re, “really effective legislators.”

“If you’re a vegetarian, you could not go to a better place in the world. I’m not a vegetarian, but it is wonderful, and there’s more choice there than anywhere, because it’s a vegetarian nation, although they do eat meats. That food is extraordinary.”
—-Danny Boyle, in an interview with Black Book Mag. Boyle was the director for the movie, Trainspotting, and well as his new cinema project, Slumdog Millionaire, about a young, poor Indian boy who gets a slot on a gameshow.
