Oh yeah! We’re going down under this week.

Missy Higgins is the queen of green, and has spoken out about the importance of being environmentally friendly. She’s even greened her tours!

Sophie Monk stirred quite some controversy last year when she was photographed carrying bags of KFC goodies to her car. She later said she was just buying some food for a homeless man.

So between the two Australian hotties, who would you rather do…

Larry Hagman, Hall Of Fame Honoree, Spent $1 Million Going Solar

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Actors, Environment-Eco-Green.

30th Anniversary Reunion Of

Larry Hagman, the actor who became famous for playing J.R. on Dallas, is set to be inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame, along with other celebrities like Billy Bob Thorton, Powers Boothe, and Catherine Hardwicke.

We think it’s time we put him in our little green veggies hall of fame.

Hagman is a vegetarian who is really into solar energy. Like, to the tune of a million dollars that he invested to make his homes run on that sunny stuff!

According to Coolerplanet.com, his 25,000 square foot residence gives him an annual energy bill of only $13.

He’s shares his goodies, too.

Since his system provides more than what’s necessary to power his pad, he also supplies solar power to five neighboring homes.

A healthy eater, environmentally conscious, and giving all in one package. Not hard to understand why his wife of 54 years, Maj, has stuck around for this long. You’d be hard pressed to find a man this good, ladies.

Congrats to Larry! Keep up the green work!

Rob Schneider Does The Veggie Bean And Weenies?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Actors, Comedians, Food & Drink.

Is Rob Schneider a vegetarian?

The comedian and actor has had starring roles in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and The Hot Chick and has been a veteran on Saturday Night Live.

A question on RobSchneider.com asked, “If you were to be a spokesperson for a new Hormel food product what would it be for?”

Rob’s answer was, “Vegetarian bean and weenie pockets.” 

Does Rob do veggie? Or does he just like vegetarian products?

If he is veg, and knew about all the alleged Hormel sins, maybe he would have picked another company.

Props To Putin! Wants To End Russia’s Seal Hunt

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Politicians.

Russian and Hungarian prime ministers meet for talks

A lot of talk goes on about Canada’s annual seal hunt, but did you know that Russia has one too?

And if Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has anything to do with it, the “bloody industry,” as he called it, will end soon.

Raise the roof for Russia!

“It is clear that [our hunt] should have been banned a long time ago,” Mr. Putin said, according to a statement distributed yesterday by the embassy in Ottawa.

Recently, Russia has stopped the killing of baby seals, or whitecoats. Now it’s looking to stop the killing of all seals, although a timeframe for this has not yet been established.

Proponents of seal hunts say it’s necessary to control the population. But Russia’s seal population has been declining since 1928. Not to mention the cruelness of the act, which involves clubbing a seal on its head repeatedly. 

Canadian seal pelts are marketed to Russia, but no word on whether these will be banned as well. Some sources say that Russia is the #1 country behind China for imported seal pelt products.

The European Union is currently calling to ban the shipment of seal products across member countries.

Mike White, School Of Rock Writer, Is Amazing Race’s Vegan Man

Uh-oh. Things could get ugly. Because you remember what happened last time a vegetarian was on Amazing Race. Does sheep butt ring a bell?

Mike White, writer, producer, and actor who’s writing credits include School of Rock and Nacho Libre has teamed up with his dad, Mel White, on this season’s Amazing Race.

You may have heard of his film dedicated to animal rights, Year of the Dog.

Mike was inspired to go vegan and embrace animal rights after befriending a cat he inherited after moving to a new home. Not realizing how attached to the cat he had become, Mike was so devastated when it passed, he had children coming up to comfort him in the animal hospital.

This guy is so veganized, he’s even worn two PETA T-shirts so far on the show.

Wishing Mike and dad best of luck, and hoping he doesn’t have to do lamb eating contest like Terence Gerchberg did last season. That would be so baa-baa-baaad. Okay, okay, bad joke. 

If you’re interested in viewing a video of Mike  talking about his veganness and love for animals, visit peta.org.

Vegetarian Cicely Tyson Treats Body Like A Car

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Actresses.

Heart Truth - Runway - Fall 09 MBFW

Cicely Tyson isn’t a woman who takes to lying in bed too well. So she does everything she can to stay healthy, which includes following a strict vegetarian diet.

While talking to the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette, the subject of diet came up for the 75-year old actress who’s played roles in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, Roots, and Tyler Perry’s Madea. She’s set to star in the Hallmark Channel original movie, Relative Stranger this weekend.

Q: I understand you are a strict vegetarian, and you keep yourself fit.

A: That’s mainly because I am not a good patient. (Laughing.) I do not like not feeling well. We have a tendency to give all the love and care to material things. I mean, if you have a Rolls-Royce and you pull up to a gasoline station, you don’t put crud in it. You put the most expensive oil and gas in your car. You want it to be treated well in order for it to serve you well. We should start thinking that about this body of ours.

Awesome metaphor, Cicely!

What have you guys been revving up your cars with lately?

Other veg stars have opened their kitchen to MTV Cribs, including Russell Simmons.
