“When I got my breast cancer diagnosis [in 2004] and realized that my body was out of balance, I started to look at what it needed to be in balance: good food, whole food. I started looking at the environment around me — and I realized we need similar ingredients to make our earth bodies run. We have neglected what it takes to make the earth run. When I got involved in Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth,” I really began to educate myself.I realized I couldn’t keep walking down the path of, “I can put anything I want into my stomach, and I’m going to live forever.” That’s not going to work, nor will it for the Earth.”

—-Melissa Etheridge, on the realization that both our bodies and our planet need only the healthiest ingredients put into them.

Melissa puts the best in her body by maintaining a vegetarian diet.

Brooke Shields Has Husband, Pregnancy To Blame For Veg Downfall

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 20th, 2009 in Actresses, Models, Not So Vegetarian.

Comments Off

Wait a minute.

Several months ago, Brooke Shields blamed “being with child” as the reason she gave into meat cravings after being a vegetarian for 15 years.

Now, she’s sounding as if it was her husband’s fault she went back to beef.

Technically, if being pregnant caused meat cravings and her husband, ahem, “helped” with getting her pregnant…

In a recent interview with Rachael Ray, Brooke reveals that her husband’s best meal is when he rubs it, or, uh, makes his own rub for beef and chicken.

“He mixes his own dry rub for beef and chicken. I was a vegetarian until he started to cook for me! He also makes an amazing grilled steak with garlic and herb butter. It just melts in your mouth.”

No, no, no Brooke! It’s supposed to be the other way around. You were supposed to show Chris Henchy how to rub it on faux beef and chicken.

Brigitte Bardot Asks Carla Bruni-Sarkozy To Help End Bullfighting

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 20th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Politicians.

Comments Off

Former actress turned animal activist Brigitte Bardot is trying to round up support from a fellow French sister to end bullfighting in France.

The sport which involves brutally killing a bull in front of an audience is a tradition in Southern France, much like it is in Spain.

Bardot has written to France’s First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, asking for her help to end the torture by giving hubby President Nicolas Sarkozy the nudge.

“Could you convince your husband to ban bullfights, this atrocious spectacle of death, by telling him ”someone told me France must no longer allow the death of a tortured animal”?” wrote Bardot.

“I can”t tell you how important this stance is in the struggle I have pursued for so many years.”

Bardot also thanked Mrs. Sarkozy for not wearing fur.

Comments Off

Lindsay Lohan is so well known for the forest of critters that lie on her back, she’s even been nominated for the Worst Dressed Celebrity, based on the amount of cruel clothing she wears.

Now, she’s been chastised by vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney for her wardrobe choice.

Apparently, Stella thinks Lindsay’s been photographed in one animal coat too many.

A source says, “Lindsay wears a lot of Stella’s designs and she doesn’t want to be associated with a high-profile star who insists on wearing animal products.”

A spokeswoman for McCartney says, “She never uses fur and encourages everyone to opt for a vegetarian lifestyle.”

If you like the fur look, but not the killing involved, slip into something made by Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs, where every coat is made to look real, but is faker than the bosoms in Hollywood.

Okay, so you’re out with friends and everybody’s hungry, but you’ve been trying to figure out where to eat for the past 1/2 hour because you can’t agree on one place.

You want Chinese, your sig other wants Italian, your best friends wants Greek…arghhhh!

Heather Mills has recognized this issue and plans to put at least two dishes from various International cuisine types to make groups of people like you and your friends happy.

“And the evening menu will include two Thai dishes, and two Indian dishes, and two Italian dishes, and so on; because you know what it’s like when you want to go out for dinner with your friends, and one of them wants Italian, and one of them wants Thai, and you want Indian … well, that won’t be a problem here, will it?” Heather said, in an interview with the UK Guardian about her new vegan restaurant, V Bites.

Problem solved for where to eat. You can even plan ahead by reading the V Bites menu before you go.

Now, if Heather can resolve the argument of paying separately or paying with one check.

Shakira Treated Vegetarianism As Fair Feathered Friend

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 20th, 2009 in Female Musicians, Female Singers, Not So Vegetarian.

Comments Off

Shakira has revealed that she once tried being vegetarian after befriending some chickens she met on a farm.

It worked out for those particular chickens who didn’t get eaten. But not so much for their relatives and future descendants.

“I was living in Spain on a farm, and someone gave me four chickens,” said the Hips Don’t Lie singer.

“I named them and they became very close to me. And then I couldn’t eat them. I was like, ‘OK, if I cannot eat these chickens because they actually have names and they are my friends, I am not going to be able to eat any chicken again.’ So I became a vegetarian.”

“I lasted for one month. I tried, I really tried. Yeah, I gave it a go.”

“I didn’t last as a vegetarian – but I did not eat those chickens. I promise those chickens survived.”

Sounds like Shakira should get as excited about soy chicken as Lisa Loeb does.
