If you followed Alicia Silverstone in the 90s, you may be wondering when she’ll make her next big acting move.

Wonder no more, the Clueless Girl is making a career comeback on the Broadway stage, playing the girlfriend of an editor in the play Time Stands Still.

You Alicia fanatics know that she’s never really taken a “break,” especially when it comes to her vegan and animal activism. Maybe that’s why thefrisky.com lists those traits as one of the 10 reasons to appreciate this gal’s comeback.

3.”Alicia likes animals! The actress filmed the first-ever naked PSA for PETA, promoting the benefits of her vegan lifestyle. Number one benefit: That you look good naked.”

7. “The girl likes to eat! Unlike other paper-thin vegans out there, Alicia revealed one of her favorite hobbies is cooking and going to the farmer’s market.”

9. “Alicia gets down and dirty—she’s big into gardening.”

The vegan girl who likes to eat will make her Broadway appearance when the play officially opens on January 28, 2010, with previews on Jan. 5 at Manhattan Theater Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theater.

Ana Ortiz: One Of Those Vegetarian Until Pregnant Women

Chandra Wilson Debuts In Chicago On Broadway - Arrivals & Curtain Call

Talk about news!

How is it we are just now finding out about Ana Ortiz being a vegetarian? She must be keeping mum because there are very few sources about her being one.

Sadly, we are here to report that the Ugly Betty actress, like other women we’ve reported on, gave into insatiable meat cravings during her pregnancy.

From an interview with cookiemag.com:

“During my pregnancy, it has been much more difficult [to stay vegetarian] because I have really been craving meat. So I make sure it is local, grass-fed, and healthy—as healthy as possible. Otherwise, I stick to vegetarianism.”

Ana had mentioned she wanted to bring her baby up as eco-friendly as possible and we had suggested she and baby go veg.

Hopefully, now that little Paloma Louise Lebenzon is done cooking in the oven, Ana will go back to the veg life-taking the tyke with her.

Say, does anybody know the phenomena behind those crazy meat cravings during pregnancy? Any PhDs or other researchers out there? What gives?

Im a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! Press Conference

Second place winner of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here Torrie Wilson said she went vegetarian after finishing the reality TV competition.

“I’ve changed my entire way of eating after the show,” she told the Baltimore Sun. “I became a vegetarian, almost vegan. I feel wonderful after having the cleansing I had there and getting off sugar.”

Torrie’s competitor and 3rd place winner John Salley is vegan and according to chron.com, it was John that gave Torrie the little “push.”

“Wilson became good buddies with former NBA player Salley, who persuaded her to become a vegetarian.”

It’s great that Torrie became veg. Even greater than John helped her “convert.”

Now it’s just a matter of him sharing those recipes cards and giving her samples of his Double Baked Herbed Crisps to share.

Ah, sibling rivalry.

We’re sure Emily Deschanel and her little sister, Zooey Deschanel, have nothing but love for each other as adults, but we wonder how the two got along as kids?

Were there pillowfights, accusations of boyfriend stealing, “borrowing” clothes without permission?

The two grew up to be beautiful inside and out, with successful Hollywood careers, a love for animals, and all things vegan.

So between the two sisters, who would you rather…

Treehugger.com has written up a post titled “6 Green Celebrity Product Lines We Can’t Get Enough Of.”

Two of the product lines are produced by veggie stars Ed Begley Jr. and Stella McCartney.

Here is a description of the glass and window cleaner from Begley’s Best.com:

“Begley’s Best contains aqueous detergents and surfactants derived from natural feedstock, complexing agents and food grade certified colorant. It is certified as a biological nutrient by MBDC. ”

In addition, it says the glass cleaner “won’t streak or leave residues,” which might be a downside for you bird lovers (ever watched those commercials where the birds keep running into windows? Wait, not funny. Veg blogging social faux pas)

The all purpose cleaner contains “extracts of pine, maize, fermented sugar cane roots, and olive seeds.” Sounds like it smells heavenly.

Besides Stella McCartney’s clothing and shoe line, the vegetarian fashion designer offers CARE, a line of organic skin products that keep the parabens, petrochemicals, and artificial fragrances that send you to the allergist out.

Visit treehugger.com to find out who the other four celebrities with great green lines are.
