Vegetarian Star

Both of these sexy Canadian ladies don’t eat Canadian bacon and are competing against each other in PETA’s annual Sexiest Vegetarian Contest, which ends at the end of the month.  So between the two, rocker Alanis Morissette or country singer Shania Twain, who would you rather do…

Wow! Several big celebrities were spotted eating at vegan friendly A Voltre Sante restaurant recently, including David Duchovny, Matthew McConaughey, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Rumor has it David used to be a vegan and his now separated from wife Tea Leoni was too. But we’re quite surprised and pleased to learn Matthew and the Olsen twins made their way there as well.

Now, vegan friendly doesn’t mean completely vegan. But to hear the spokesperson for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the most infamous fur wearing twins at least stopping by to dine with the granola lovin’ seitan worshippers is a breath of fresh air.

Show your pride, everybody. Be veg and be proud cause it’s National Vegetarian Week!

National Vegetarian Week is an annual event designed to raise awareness of the benefits of a meat free diet.

So take your tofu sandwiches to work and waive it your co-workers faces. Start conversations about rennet and cheese. If you’re really brave, wear some lettuce wraps and walk around town. Er, maybe not. It’s getting hot outside and lettuce wilts…then shrinks. Don’t want to spend the week in jail, now.

For more information about National Vegetarian Week, visit the Vegetarian Society at vegsoc.org.

A super trio of journalist Maria Shriver, celebrity chef Guy Fieri, and celebrity chef Alice Waters will be getting down and dirty together tomorrow morning on the California state Capitol lawn in Sacramento.

No need to get overly excited, you pervs, they’re just planting a vegetable garden!

The WE Garden in Capitol Park is not only the first vegetable garden to be planted at the state Capitol, but the only one of its kind to be planted at a U.S. statehouse.

Looks like California’s First Lady is following the footsteps of another First Lady, Michelle Obama, who planted an organic vegetable garden on the White House South lawn.

The event is open to the public and will feature free recipes. For more information, visit sacbee.com.

We’ve covered so much veggie athlete news lately, we’re on a roll and should head to Vegas!

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Pat Neshek recently spoke with the Minneapolis Star Tribune where he revealed he’s “willing to take the heat” for his veganism.

“I get that all the time,” Neshek said. “Like Gardy [manager Ron Gardenhire], he’ll make fun of me and stick a hot dog in my face and say, “You want to eat this?” A lot of guys are curious. Most of the time, there’s a lot of guys that make fun of you.”

No problem for Neshek, as he knows he’s putting the good stuff down that ultimately will make his game better.

Besides, who cares about the guys? He’s got a woman at home to answer to.

When he first met his wife, he was heading for a McDonald’s and the future Mrs. Neshek said, “I can’t believe you eat that stuff!” This comment, along with reading The China Study, which links a meat based diet to diseases, prompted Neshek to work on his steakouts as much as his strikeouts.

Five years later, the Mrs. Neshek is still helping Pat with his veg game.

“My wife, she’s an excellent cook, so that’s the main reason I can pull this off,” he said.

Visit startribune.com to learn what Pat’s typical breakfast consists of and read the entire interview.

When we heard Sarah Silverman left the meatballs off her spaghetti, we cheered even though we didn’t think she was a vegetarian.

Now, some gossip has come in that Sarah has said she doesn’t eat meat and was instructing others how to heat up veggie meatballs.

A reader named Anon left us this tip:

“Sarah’s a vegetarian. She was on cam (on her twitter account) with her friend Steve Agee and confirmed she doesn’t eat meat.”

“Oh, this was while giving a cooking demonstration on how to heat veggie meatballs your mum makes for you, in the microwave.”

She must be rubbing her good food karma on Jimmy Kimmel (we think they’re together, you never know), seeing as he’s been totally putting down pork and other meat eating on his show recently.

We searched Sarah’s Twitter and found some mentioning of Steve Agee and a video channel, but haven’t found the broadcast yet, so we’ll treat this as gossip.

But we’ve got a feeling the news is coming out soon!

The votes are in! Tonight we’ll find out if Adam Lambert or Chris Allen is crowned the next American Idol.

Judge Kara DioGuardi has been crowned in her own right, receiving wings to wear for PETA’s Angels For Animals campaign.

Angels For Animals is meant to remind pet owners how dogs and cats (and any other pets, for that matter-pot belly pigs, anyone?) should be treated.

Fresh food and water every day, a clean spot to take care of Mother Nature’s duties, exercise, socializing, and lots of L-O-V-E are what Kara and PETA hope you’ll give your four legged child or friend.

Hey, if you really need to set it in your head, there’s a petition you can sign to remind yourself to do these things daily, as well as a video interview of Kara with her dog Tikki.

In a recent interview with GQ magazine, Dark Night Terminator dude Christian Bale has admitted to some less than vegetarian ways.

Bale failed to pay his membership dues to the veg club shortly after completing filming for American Psycho.

The bodybuilding and unbuilding you’ve done for your roles is alarming—the former all the more so for its being accomplished without any animal protein.
Actually, I’m in and out of the vegetarianism now. But yeah, the majority of the building up you’re talking about was done when I was still a vegetarian.

Dietary reasons? Or something to do with the character?
I was up in Toronto and went to see that movie Life Is Beautiful. By myself. And when I came out, I had a craving for blood unlike anything I had ever experienced since I decided to go vegetarian at the age of 7. It was a compulsion. It was undeniable. I went to several restaurants, one right after the other, and got the biggest, bloodiest steaks I could get my hands on. It was the first time I had tasted flesh in almost twenty years.

Argh! Life is beautiful, but not so much for animals when Christian gets his vampire cravings for bloody steak.

Why the change of heart (less), man?
