Vegetarian Star

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are really getting their vegan on lately.

Earlier this week, the couple reportedly dined at Aphrodite Cafe and Organic Delights in the Vancouver area sharing a vegan strawberry-rhubarb pie and spinach salad.

Most recently, Justin and Jessica enjoyed veg fare at The Naam, also in Vancouver.

Both Justin and Jessica have been involved with environmental activism.

Is the couple taking the next big step towards saving the Planet by eating less meat or going completely veg?

In honor of National Vegetarian Month, yumsugar.com has created a Guess That Vegetarian Celebrity game.

“With society’s growing awareness about the social, health, and environmental impacts of going meatless, vegetarianism has been on the rise. Naturally, it can’t hurt that Hollywood has a number of meat-free role models.”

There are 10 questions, and we thought we’d make it easier on you by helping you “cheat.”

For the question asking, “What celebrity described New Orleans as “the most difficult place to be vegan in the world”?

The answer?

You’re looking right at him.

Alicia Silverstone is as into yoga as she’s into seitan.

In a recent article on the HuffingtonPost.com, Alicia reveals her favorite style to strike a meditative pose.

“I really like, I think it’s called Anusara. Why I love it is, I feel really safe. It’s really practical. I love my specific teacher, too. You’re focused on strength and growth. The whole time you’re there, they say, “make sure you know about your pinky toe pressing into the ground and pull up.” And they do a whole class on pulling up into your hamstring muscles, and you’re thinking you know what those are, but until you do the class you have no idea what they are. They really get you to learn about every little part of your body.”

Every Anusara class begins with an invocation for “devotional recognition of the grace-bestowing power of universal Spirit within and around.”

Classes also have themes and there are over 250 poses that compile the syllabii of Anusara yoga asanas, covering all the key ansanas within the major classification of poses including standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists, hand-balancings, inversions, and restoratives.

Leanne Hilgart

Several vegetarian/vegan fashion designers are featured in a chron.com article on cruelty-free fashion, including Leanne Hilgart of vegan outerwear company Vaute Couture, Inder Bedi of Matt & Nat handbags and Elizabeth Olsen of Olsen Haus Vegan Shoe.

“Fashion isn’t my background, but I’m interested in fulfilling a need,” Hilgart said. “I didn’t really know if people would respond, so I crossed my fingers. A lot of people ordered their winter coats in June.”

“All the pretty, warm coats weren’t vegan, so I was always cold. I thought I was the only person who wanted one.”

Elizabeth Olsen started Olsen Haus in 2008 and her shoes range from $150-$265.

“There was such a big gap in the market for stylish vegan shoes and, once I went vegan, what was I going to wear?” she said. “I needed to do this. It’s not granola fashion, and I’m not a hippie. I made what I like and what’s on trend.”

Jackie Keller

Celebrity nutritionist Jackie Keller shared some tips on eating for better breast health with none other than vegan Skinny Bitch Kim Barnouin on Healthy Bitch Daily.

Jackie shares foods that may prevent and fight cancer and we’re proud to say there are plenty of fruits and vegetables on the list like avocados and carrots.

“Pull out the avocados! Rich in glutathione, avocados are a powerful antioxidant that attack free radicals in the body by blocking intestinal absorption of certain fats. They also supply even more potassium than bananas, and are a good source of beta-carotene.”

And carrots not only work for Bugs Bunny, they work for many of your organs too.

“Carrots aren’t just good for your eyesight. They contain tons o’ Vitamin A (which the body converts to beta-carotene), and may help reduce a wide range of cancers including lung, mouth, throat, stomach, intestine, bladder, prostate and breast.”

Color us turmeric.

“Season with turmeric, a member of the ginger family. Turmeric is rumored to wear medicinal properties because it inhibits production of the inflammation-related enzyme cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) – a culprit found at abnormally high levels in certain inflammatory diseases and cancers.”

“Just say no to leather, fur and python. Everyone knows this about me, but even if I liked leather, I just couldn’t wear leather pants. It’s so soft-rock trashy.”

Just a reminder, Natalie Portman will make a guest appearance on next week’s Top Chef.

Here’s a sneak peek at what happens when Natalie visits the chefs.

“As I said, I love food, I love eating,” Natalie says.

“I’m pretty adventurous with different flavors, different cuisines. The one thing is…”

The look on the chefs faces when Nat drops the “V” word is worth a million dollar prize itself.

Michael Jackson‘s giraffes could be forced from their keeper’s home if someone doesn’t cough up $100,000 and a piece of paper.

Rambo, Jabbar Jr. (JJ), Princess, and Annie Sue were acquired by Freddie Hancock of the Banjoko Wildlife Preserve in Page, Arizona in 2006.

Apparently insurance for Rambo and friends is expensive because the city wants Freddie to fork over $100,000 for a bond to insure them in case of emergencies.

In order to get the bond, Freddie needs the city to hand over a particular form, which Freddie claims they are refusing to give her.

What’s up with this?

Is Page, Arizona playing dirty landlord and trying to evict the giraffes on purpose?
