Ellen DeGeneres Wolfgang Puck Make Vegan Pizza (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, November 29th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, TV Hosts, Videos.

Celebrity chefs who show the vegan love are always welcome in the kitchen!

Wolfgang Puck and Ellen DeGeneres got together to make a vegan pizza piled high with local vegetables from a farmer’s market.

Puck is a regular at the farmer’s market and Ellen said that it’s “important to support farmer’s markets” while Puck added “local farmers are really the best,” while getting cheers from the crowd.

Besides supporting local economy and getting fresher ingredients, think of all the fuel you help save by not picking up produce that crosses more lines than rings in an onion.

Watch Ellen and Puck create pizza that’s not only vegetarian, but vegan.

Leona Lewis Left Cutting The Cheese At Hotel

2009 American Music Awards - Arrivals

Hotel food is a hit or miss for vegetarians.

Often, it’s best to pack your own protein bar and spoon from the peanut butter jar than risk the Continental Breakfast where the only food groups are pork, beef and stale bagel.

Leona Lewis found herself a little hungry and disappointed when the hotel she was visiting left her with few choices.

“There’s nothing to eat, the only vegetarian thing they’ve got on the menu is a cheese sandwich,” Leona said, according to the Sunday Sun.

“I’m starving,” she added.

Leona found happiness in sliced apples, but even you might not be so lucky next time.

A vegetarian report card has been created for travelers mainly in the U.S.

And vegetarianusa gives you the 411 on all the hotels, Bed and Breakfasts and resorts from Australia to New Zealand.

Cheese and apples aren’t bad, but even the best veggie champ can grow tired of that meal.

Check out both links to ensure your next trip doesn’t leave you eating  like a rat or rabbit between cities.

Kristen Bell Tofurky Thanksgiving

If you’ve taken the Tofurky from the freezer this morning to thaw, you’re in good company with Kristen Bell.

The actress says she loves the faux bird dinner that comes with cranberry apple dumplings, mushroom gravy, wild rice and whole wheat bread stuffing and “wishstix.”

“Tofurkey?… “It’s a faux turkey that my parents always made for me because I’ve always been a vegetarian. It’s great, you should try it!”

Of course, Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t have to be an imitation of what millions of other Americans are eating.

Remember your college days of eating pizza in the dorm when you didn’t go home for the holidays?

Are you preparing a traditional faux bird Thanksgiving dinner today?

Stella McCartney Leona Lewis—Who Would You [Veg Fashion Edition]

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 in Fashion.

We love rumors. Even if they’re not true. Stella McCartney and Leona Lewis were rumored to be getting it on for a cruelty-free fashion line. Too bad Stella says she knew nothing about this.

No biggie, as Leona’s coming out with her own line and shoes and handbags soon and Stella’s even giving children’s clothing a second try.

Between the two vegetarians, one present and one future fashion designer, who would you rather…

Ricky Williams

Miami Dolphins Ricky Williams is now an owner of a restaurant in the Z Ocean Hotel on Miami Beach’s Ocean Drive, PROOF.

Given the fact PROOF is co-owned, Ricky had to compromise on the menu to please his meat eating business partner, former NFL player Rudi Johnson.

But he made sure a “beefy” athlete like himself had plenty of vegetarian items to dine on that didn’t include the salad bar.

“I have to order sides because I’m a vegetarian,” Williams said. “Now I can order entrees.”

Those entrees include the “Ricky’s Picks” selections of margarita pizza, black bean burger, rice noodles and tofu and mushroom and assorted vegetables risotto.

PROOF opened with an invitation only party on November 17 and has been branded the “hip new tasty, yet health conscious restaurant and lounge.”

PROOF is located at 1458 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, Florida.

Joanna Krupa for PETA

A little bit of nakedness here and there never hurt anyone and certainly gets your attention for a good cause.

Dancing with the Stars competitor Joanna Krupa strips down to her wings to urge you to always adopt from a shelter.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, out of the 6-8 million dogs and cats who arrive at animal shelters every year, only 3-4 million of those are adopted.

You may not look as great in wings or on the dance floor as Joanna, but if you open your home to the animals in shelters waiting to be adopted, you’ll never be voted off the competition.

Alanis Morissette hosted a party for vegetarian cookbook author Anna Thomas recently, and the festivities included getting her hands down and deep into calcium rich kale.

Thomas is the author of Love Soup: 160 All-New Vegetarian Recipes from the Author of The Vegetarian Epicure, which was released in September of this year.

Thomas’s book contains recipes for a variety of soups, such as rustic leek and potato, minestrone, and tomato and fennel.

Love Soup, called “the most influential cookbooks in the history of modern vegetarian cuisine” by the Chicago Sun Times, is the handy guide you need for seasonal recipes to please palates at any party.

And it costs so much less than an appearance by Alanis.

Stella McCartney Leona Lewis Fashion Line A Faux

Stella McCartney Switches On Store Christmas Lights

Ah, gossip.

No one ever said all of it was true.

As we speculated, Stella McCartney has informed the press that she has no knowledge of a fashion line collaboration between her and Leona Lewis.

“I’ve never heard anything about it – it’s news to me!” Stella told Grazia.

We have heard, however, that Stella is doing a Spring collection for her children’s line with Baby Gap and Gapkids.

Look for leather free spring wear for the little ones in March 2010.
