How Bollywood’s Kareena Kapoor Is Spending Her Christmas

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood.

“Mom, Lolo and I believe in the power of the Mt Mary’s Shrine. I am very religious and Christmas has always been huge in the family. We decorate the Christmas tree, attend the Midnight Mass and then have a Christmas dinner on December 25 replete with roast turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, vegetables and plum pudding for dessert and the traditional goodies that come with it. I am not non vegetarian so I won’t be able to have the roast turkey but I can have the side dishes.”

If you’re celebrating Christmas this holiday season, how will you be doing so? Unlike Kareena, do you have the Tofurky at the table or are you destined to eat side dishes?

Chime in and let us know your plans!

Forest Whitaker Advocating Falafel Cart Can Ease NY MTA Hikes

GQ Magazine Hosts The Gentlemen's Ball - Arrivals

New Yorkers are in an uproar over the fare hikes and service cuts the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has approved in its 2009 budget.

One man expressed his feelings personally by attempting to throw a shoe at Chief Executive Elliot Sander-mimicking the Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at George W. Bush, before being escorted out.

People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), being the peace and goodwill promoting organization it is, has offered to help solve this problem so hopefully Chief Sander will only be dodging snowballs this winter.

They would like to purchase advertisement on MTA that would allow riders to hear pro-vegetarian testimonials by vegetarian actors Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, and Kevin Nealon.

Fantastic idea, but why not take it a bit further. Along with the personal testimonial, include shout outs as to where to find the food. Something like,”I’m Forest Whitaker and I’m a vegetarian. Check out the Falafel cart at 46th and 6th, may make the advertisement dollars go further.

You can listen to each celebrity’s announcement over at PETA’s blog.

The Comedy Festival Day 1

On the 4th day of Christmas, my Ellen gave to me, a Matt & Nat bag that was cruelty-free.

Wow! We should be recording Bing Cosby classics.

Vegan talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, celebrated the holidays this year by featuring a segment on her show called “12 Days of Giveaways,” where she gave the audience several presents such as a Blu-Ray disc player, espresso machines, and a vegan bag from Matt & Nat, the company with bags named after vegetarian actress Jorja Fox.

Watch the video below where she jokes that a video tape has been released of her in a “private moment,” before she makes the big announcement of what’s being given away that day.

Rocker Bryan Adams Exposes His Refrigerator To Rachael Ray

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Peace One Day - Stage Performances

Bryan Adams exposed himself to Rachael Ray. Geez, we thought he was a gentleman.

Actually, he still is. He just opened his refrigerator to the celebrity chef for her Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine in the December/January 2009 issue, where you’ll also find his favorite Pineapple-Ginger juice recipe, which he drinks every morning.

His fridge is obviously stocked similar to what we told you was in his shopping cart, such as wholesome vegan foods like medjool dates.

Those who follow him know he’s been a vegan for 20 years and he even switched to a completely raw diet for awhile, which he claims during that time he never got sick.

“I didn’t even have a headache—it was unbelievable,” he said. “So now I still try to eat raw about 50 percent of the time.”

So take that, Bijou Phillips, who recently said she was going back to Atkins to lose weight and being a vegan made her sick all the time.

Adams has a self-portrait in front of his fridge-probably to remind him of how gorgeous his body looks so he’ll keep eating vegan.

Read his interview with Rachael Ray, and hear how he’d love to invite her over for a 30 Minute Meal of cheeseless rigatoni pasta with pesto sauce.

“I felt a responsibility to do something about the impact I have on the environment because of my racing career. I am speaking out about my actions in hopes of bringing awareness to race fans and the racing community. Carbon offsetting is not the solution to climate change, but I had to do something about my unavoidable emissions.”

Good Job Momma Hilton! Faux Fur Is The Best This Christmas

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, December 22nd, 2008 in Actresses, Fashion, Fur.

Paris Hilton - Fragrance Signing And Photocall

Socialite Kathy Hilton, mother of Paris Hilton, spoke with E! Online about what her two grown little girls are getting for Christmas. Yes, it looks like E!Online has now ruined the surprise for Paris and Nicky!

Just one of their surprises, that it, as it’s a sure thing Momma Hilton got them more than one item. Especially considering she started shopping in October.

“Nicky wanted me to get her this photograph,” Kathy said. “It is of a beautiful swan because she loves swans, so I got her that.”

“And Paris, I am going to get her a very cool faux fur coat. Like a bomber jacket.”

Kudos to that! A socialite worth millions, billions, and gazillions, dropped the word that she’s buying fake fur for the holidays. In a time where celebrities are still pretending it’s caveman days and fur is the only way to keep warm, Momma Hilton proudly professed what her pocketbook is financing this year, one of the best cruelty-free presents you can buy.

Awhile back, Kathy’s husband Rick, was gushing over Paris’s then boyfriend Benji Madden and his clean lifestyle, saying he was a “healthy vegan.”

Paris and Benji broke up, but still hang out together. Is a romantic reunion possible? If so, we’re jumping for joy. With Benji’s healthy vegan lifestyle and momma Hilton choosing faux fur, some of that animal compassion just might rub off on Paris.

Eva Mendes Wants Threesome With Jennifer Aniston, Morrissey

The 10th Anniversary Party For Flaunt Magazine

Eva Mendes has gone wild.

Earlier we told you she wanted to pose naked with Morrissey for a People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) anti-fur ad.

Now she wants Jennifer Aniston to join them.

She joked she had a craving for a “PETA-Buddy and Jenny Sandwich,” when expressing her desire to get Aniston involved. Is that what they’re calling it these days?

Mendes, like many others, particularly men, was impressed with Aniston’s naked photo cover for GQ magazine. That, along with the fact that Aniston’s new movie, Marley & Me, is about a dog who helps a couple cope with life, is the reason Eva thinks Jen is picture perfect for the job.

“Jennifer is currently going naked to promote a film about what wonderful companions and teachers dogs are,” Mendes said. “And it is just one small step from there to advocating for the fair and ethical treatment of all animals.”

Three is a crowd, but if it’s for the sake of animal rights, close might still be comfy.

Gym Class Hero Travis McCoy Wants Dinosaur Burger Last Meal

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, December 21st, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Singers, Not So Vegetarian.

MTV Europe Music Awards 2008: VIP Arrivals

When lead vocalist of alternative hip-hop group Gym Class Heroes was asked what his last meal on earth would be, he suggested an entree completely different than what he’s used to eating.

“I’ve been a vegetarian for about five years now, so I’d probably just have the biggest, grossest carnivorous meal ever. Maybe like a human leg or a brontosaurus burger.”

A vegetarian for half a decade and suddenly he wants to get cannibalistic? Or visit Jurassic Park to hunt for his dinner?

Since he suggested a “carnivorous meal” as his last one, it’s probably safe to say he’s one of those vegetarians that misses his real meat and likes the imitation variety.

His longtime girlfriend, singer Katy Perry, who’s recently denied rumors they are engaged, said she wanted to make a New Year’s Resolution to become vegetarian, but thought it would be hard because she liked chicken too much.

Travis expressing his desire for flesh sure doesn’t do much to encourage her. Craving for chicken is one thing. How will she ever be convinced there are substitutes that taste just like T-Rex?
