Ivanka Trump Jared Kushner Wedding–Fur Real Or Fur Fake

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 in Fur, Fur Real Or Fur Fake.

The Trumps Get together!

The Trump family got together recently to celebrate the wedding of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

You know that means Donald spent more hours than his bride daughter did in front of the mirror prepping and pruning his toupee.

This shot was taken featuring one of the fam dressed in a white, furry coat.

She’s totally fired.

But only if that’s real fur she’s wearing, versus some stylish variety that’s faker than Donald’s protegee and Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean‘s bossom.

Take a look and decide for yourself.

Fur real? Or fur fake?

Paul McCartney Nancy Shevell “Actor’s Fund” Blue Fin NYC Dinner

Stella McCartney - Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010

Paul McCartney and girlfriend Nancy Shevell enjoyed dinner at Bluefin restaurant in New York City for the Actor’s Fund dinner recently.

McCartney enjoyed food from a vegetarian menu and was “super friendly” according to a source.

Good food, plus the fact McCartney was the guest of honor probably contributed to his super friendly mood.

If Nancy didn’t order from the vegetarian menu, surely she took some nibbles off Paul’s plate, considering she’s been reportedly eating more plant based meals since dating Paul.

Carrie Underwood Milkshake Brings Boys To The Yard–Occasionally

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 in Female Singers, Food & Drink, Recipes.

Carrie Underwood - ABC's 'Good Morning America'

During a recent interview with USA Today, Carrie Underwood ate a veggie burger, fries and milkshake–which considers to be a rare treat.

“I don’t do milkshakes often,” Underwood said. “I probably haven’t had one in years, to be honest.”

But a milkshake could be closer to your grasp than previously thought, if you substitute healthier ingredients for high calorie ones.

Carrie had a shake with Oreos, for example. A McDonald’s McFlurry with Oreos has 550 calories and 17 grams of fat.

Contrast that to this vegan milkshake with chocolate, banana and strawberries with only approximately 250 calories and 5 grams of fat.

1 Large Banana, chopped and frozen
3/4 cup Vanilla Soymilk (Light)
3 tbsp. Special Dark Cocoa
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
60 grams strawberries

Directions
Place all ingredients in blender, blend until smooth and serve immediately.

Sure could bring a  lot more boys to the yard with that shake.

Steve Martin Banjo Playing Snacks Include Sugar Snaps And Tofu

Steve Martin's Big Bad Banjo And A Conversation With Dave Barry

We’ve heard of what bands request when they’re backstage on tour and think we have a good idea of what Steve Martin snacks on between his banjo drumming performances.

Yeah, Steve Martin really plays the banjo.

From the Times Online:

“In fact, Martin has been playing the banjo for almost 50 years, and is accomplished enough to have won the approval of such banjo virtuosos as Scruggs (best known for the Beverly Hillbillies theme), Bela Fleck and Tony Trischka.”

“In his dressing room backstage at the Ryman, a visibly nervous Martin signs posters and nibbles at a vegetarian snack of sugar snaps and tofu. “Don’t tell anybody I have tofu,” he demands, deadpan, before explaining how he came to be performing at the home of country music.”

Steve’s CD, The Crow: New Songs For The Five String Banjo, was released earlier this year.

Quintessentially Host A Special Screening Of Magnolia Pictures' "FOOD INC"

“School cafeterias serve chicken “McNuggets” and give kids 10 minutes to eat, educating them to be the next generation of fast-food eaters. We need to give kids good food and enough time to eat it, teach them where food comes from, and provide them with opportunities to grow the food in school gardens and cook it in school kitchens. Knowing how to cook is an essential skill. Parents can also get their kids involved in cooking. They need to take back control of their kids’ diets, which has been ceded to food marketers. [Parents] need to be the gatekeepers.”

—-Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food and The Omnnivore’s Dilemma, in an interview with Vegetarian Times.

Although Pollan isn’t vegetarian, he has recommended we eat less meat and begins In Defense of Food with the following statement: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

2009 AFI Film Festival Premiere of Precious

On a recent segment of Oprah Winfrey‘s show, a fashion stylist made over several women and compared the before and after look.

When the stylist commented that the fur vest on the woman for her “after” look was fake, Oprah replied, “I was a PETA Woman of the Year so I hope that’s faux!”

Oprah won such an award for using her fame to bring attention to puppy mills and factory farms.

Hats off to O for letting her viewers know fur’s not stylish by any means.

Oprah’s just keeping it faux real, you know?

Heather Mills V Bites Learning Cafe For Hunts Point Alliance (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 in Food & Drink, Videos.

Heather Mills recently opened a V Bites Learning Cafe to children helped by the Hunts Point Alliance for Children.

The video shows the ribbon cutting ceremony as well as a deliciously wicked panorama of vegan food porn.

Here’s what Heather had to say:

“I had a dream about seven years ago to try and come up with a solution to get children to get off the fast food and save more animals, make them more healthy and ultimately save the planet. Unless we start reducing the consumption of meat and dairy there is no future for the children. It’s the biggest contributor to global warming. Hasn’t been acknowledged yet, they’ve acknowledged it as the second biggest contributer, but the consumption of meat and dairy is the biggest contributor to global warming. It will come out in a few years when we get brave enough to say it.”

There are no words to describe how incredible this woman is.
