Vegetarian Star

Short notice, but if you tune into the Food Network channel today at 1PM EST, you’ll see the premiere of former figure skating champion Brian Boitano do his thing on the new show, What Would Brian Botano Make?

WWBB  Make is bound to be cool, because, according to Mother Nature Network, Brian follows a more eco-friendly diet that consists of mostly vegetarian food, with a little fish here and there.

“I think my carbon footprint is pretty light,” Boitano said.

Check out the clip above to see Brian shake his hips and dance with a pepper grinder.

We give it a 10 for both style and technique!

Vegan actress Olivia Wilde has just admitted to some serious avocado loving!

“I also love avocados. I feel like I always have avocados at my house. For me, they’re nature’s gift.”

Olivia should pay a visit to vegan singer Jason Mraz’s avocado farm and maybe try his chocomole-chocolate and avocado-dessert recipe.

The House star admits she eats pretty much whatever she wants without worrying about putting on extra pounds.

Her ability to do this is probably related to the fact that vegan diets, full of lean plant based proteins like nuts, beans, and whole grain pasta and belly filling fruits and vegetables have waaaay less fat and calories than the meat and potatoes ones.

And let’s hear it for those avocados, which are full of monounsaturated “good for you” fats that help lower bad LDL cholesterol.

We think we hear some guacamole calling us from the fridge!

The media is cruel!

Former sex kitten Brigitte Bardot is the latest victim to fall prey to nasty comments about the fact she has a few laugh lines and is no longer the pin up she was in the 60s.

But soon to be 75 year old Brigitte, having her priorities straight, knows there’s something more important that plush lips and perky breasts.

“I gave my beauty and my youth to men,” Bardot said. “I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.”

Good for her!

Bardot has been vocal in ending seal hunts in several countries, bullfighting, and pig culling in response to swine flu scares.

The vegetarian gave examples of what she eats for dinner after a long day of activism:

“beans with sautéed potatoes, lots of vegetables with eggs and garlic and Provençal herbs, tarte tatin.”

Olivia Munn recently Tweeted about her experience eating vegan pizza.

The Attack of the Show! co-host doesn’t appear to have enjoyed the experience.

“Eating vegan pizza with Kevin. Note to self: vegan equals poo.”

We don’t know what Munn put on her pizza, but maybe it was the chef’s cooking  skills that were “poo,” cause vegan pizza is definitely delish!

If you’re looking to pop something in the oven for your quick fix, Amy’s Kitchen has several options, including a non dairy rice crust with soy cheese and a cheeseless roasted vegetable variety.

If do it yourself thrills you, pick up some Follow Your Heart, Vegan Rella, or Teese Vegan Cheese at the grocery or health food store.

There are dozens of options for toppings.

Poo doesn’t have to be one of them.

Chrissie Hynde loves McDonald’s…NOT!

The singer has been mixing up some jams in her spare time and has come up with a parody to the fast food giant’s theme, “I’m Lovin’ It,” titled, “I’m Hatin’ It.”

Tomorrow at 12 noon at the McDonald’s at 242 S. 700 E. in Salt Lake City, Utah, Chrissie will perform her tune, as well as help pass out the PETA “Unhappy Meals,” containing a scary looking Ronald McDonald cutout, a brutalized plastic chicken, and a ketchup packet meant to stand for blood that urges McDonald’s to “Ketchup With the Times.”

“McDonald’s means McCruelty as far as I’m concerned,” said Hynde.

Every concert needs memorabilia, so “I’m Hatin’ It,” T-shirts will also be available.

Um, okaaaaay.

Courtney Love decided to get snuggly with a turtle and post the evidence of the rendezvous online.

Gossip blogger Perez Hilton wanted to make sure animal rights groups were aware of this.

“Are you seeing this, PETA?!”

Hilarious response, Perez!

But seriously, she shouldn’t be taking that turtle to bed.

It deserves a nice free life outside with grass, dirt and to mingle with other turtles, who, unlike Courtney, probably don’t have breath that reeks of alcohol.

Free range is cool for animals, but this isn’t what AR groups have in mind.
