Premiere Screening For "REX"

Mayim Bialik had said she needed a vegan, kosher, organic chef in the neighborhood, but from the looks of this recipe, sounds like Chef Mayim’s got it all under control.

These Double Chocolate Brownies can be made vegan or not, depending on your preference and have the unique addition of adding sweet potatoes to the batch.

7th Annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party

Christian Serratos appreciates it when a traditional fast food giant remembers to put a little veg love on the menu.

On a recent Tweet, Christian wrote:

“Thank you Burger King for having veggie burgers. Yummmmmyyy”

The next time you’re in an otherwise meat-laden, grease fest food establishment and you’re able to consume something from the menu, follow Christian’s lead.

Because if they never know we want it, we’ll never get it!

Alicia Silverstone Vegan Peanut Butter Cups At NYC Wine And Food?

The Kind Diet

Alicia Silverstone will have her own session at the New York City Wine and Food Festival this weekend and she’ll be demonstrating cooking vegan recipes from her upcoming vegan diet book, The Kind Diet.

If baketivism is the way to people’s hearts, then Alicia should bring along some of the desserts from her cookbook, like the ones she described for expressnightout.com.

“The peanut butter cups and chocolate fudge brownies are insane,” Silverstone said. “Vegan food doesn’t have to compromise on taste. I challenge cheese to a duel! I think any of my amazing dishes are better than a cheese plate any day.”

Alicia’s is offering her guarantee.

“Even just replacing your butter with Earth Balance spread or mayonnaise with Vegenaise will make a difference. I promise they taste exactly the same. Mail it to me if you don’t think so! OK, don’t really mail it to me, but it’s just as good, and so much better for you.”

Hilary Swank Cries Over Meat Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 8th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

Triumph Inspiration Awards '09 - Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010

Hilary Swank is feeling a bit guilty because she feel she has to eat meat to stay healthy.

The actress abandoned her vegetarian diet a few years ago because she was losing weight.

She told Marie Claire magazine, “I just started withering away. I wasn’t getting enough vitamins or protein. (It was) very emotional.”

“I sat over my plate and cried. I really had to work through it. It still makes me emotional. I don’t know if you have ever looked into a cow’s eye, but it is so soulful. So I don’t like it – but it’s something I have to do.”

Boo hoo. (Just kidding, we really are sympathetic. A little.)

However, with a bank account like Hilary’s this Million Dollar Baby actress should have no problem investing in some one on one diet counseling and expertise and even hire her own personal chef to ensure she gets the high protein plant based nutrition she needs.

Beans, tofu, faux meats, whole grain pastas, even veg powder protein supplements…the list is endless.

Not to mention the successful triathletes that sustain themselves on not only a vegetarian, but vegan diet.

Hilary’s wasting away was probably due to the fact she wasn’t eating enough food-not eating vegetarian food.

Maybe some cow will look her in the eye-and then curse at her so she’ll wake up and realize there are other options.

Godfather Italian Organic Vodka April 2009: Will It Be Vegan?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 8th, 2009 in Business, Food & Drink.

The Godfather

The Godfather

Since there aren’t enough alcoholic beverages on the shelves already, Paramount Licensing Inc. and Iconic Brands Inc. have gotten together to launch a brand of Vodka, The Godfather Italian Organic Vodka, in April 2009.

From businesswire.com:

“We are extremely excited about our alliance with Paramount Licensing,” said Richard DeCicco, chief executive officer of Iconic. “THE GODFATHER brand will add a twist of fun and entertainment to the spirits industry, and we believe it will surely become a fan favorite in the adult lifestyle category.”

Sounds fun and exciting, but there are many questions to be answered, such as those by digitalcity.com, where the writer is interested in both the ingredients and whether or not we’ll be expected to fork over extra if The Godfather Vodka will be imported.

One question that keeps popping up in our minds is whether or not The Godfather Vodka will be veg friendly.

In fact, we’ve asked this so many times, it’s starting to sound like a David Letterman Will It Float? segment.

(singing: Will it be vegan? Will it be vegan? Will it be vegan? Will it be vegan?)

Cause everything that gets your tipsy isn’t, you know.

Some contain dairy products and forbid our vegan drunken sisters from partaking.

Other are refined with fish products that make them unacceptable for even our vegetarian brothers to take to keg parties.

Since the vodka is still in the development phase, might it help to write to either Paramount or Iconic and ask they keep The Godfather veg friendly so everybody can get drunk?

It would be an offer we can’t refuse.

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

CRO-MAGS frontman John Joseph is set to release another book, Meat Is For Pussies.

“I’ve been a vegetarian/vegan for close to 30 years,” Joseph told Noisecreep.com. “It’s what keeps me healthy enough to play the music I play live, which is very physical music.”

Meat Is For Pussies will be available through punkhouse.org.

Joseph was motivated to write the book after witnessing several friends fall prey to illness. Plus, the lifestyle turned a would be hardened criminal into a mellow, intelligent artist.

“Getting into yoga, vegetarianism and philosophy saved me from a life of crime. I have also lost a lot of people to cancer, so I just feel obligated to spread the knowledge I have gained in the last 29 years.”

Joseph has already released his autobiography, The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon, about his struggles being moved from foster home to foster home and growing up on the streets of New York City.

With a background like that, John Joseph is anything but a pussy.
