Vegetarian Star

As you know by now, Natalie Portman recently went vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s new book, Eating Animals.

Nat was interviewed at the Gotham International Film Awards when she was asked how on earth she survives without her ice cream.

“There’s still Rice Dream and soy milk ice cream and occasionally if you can find ethically produced dairy, you can have it,” Natalie said.

How does a vegan get their ice cream fix?

Ha!

That’s like asking a veggie how she gets her protein.

Self proclaimed environmentalists who still eat meat are criticized for their diet’s impact on the earth.

And a celebrity who claims to live green while owning seven private jets and flies their favorite jelly from Italy to Australia has some explaining to do.

The Times Online has featured an article on the top celebrity green hypocrites, but two stars were listed as the exception to the rule–vegetarians Woody Harrelson and Ed Begley Jr.

“Ed Begley Jr from St Elsewhere and Best in Show became a vegan in 1970, bought one of the first electric cars, and has lived for years in a self-sufficient house that uses not just solar and wind energy but a toaster powered by a stationary bicycle.”

“The famous neo-hippie Woody Harrelson lives in a sustainable community in Hawaii, grows most of his food, uses only solar power, wears hemp clothes, eschews animal products, and fuels his car with biodiesel.”

Not surprising that two veggies were spared from being blacklisted in the green hypocrisy database.

Any smart environmentalist knows that meat’s not green and meat and dairy production emits more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined.

Read the article at the Times Online to learn about John Travolta‘s five private jets, Barack Obama flying a chef across the country just to make pizza (hello, Dominoes?) and other celebrity green hypocrite examples.

Tamara Ecclestone for PETA

Some seriously hot chicks once agreed to pose with Tamara Ecclestone for PETA’s campaign to end foie gras production  in The Naked Truth: Foie Gras Is A Recipe For Torture.

A huge victory for geese occurred recently when Selfridges dropped foie gras from its shelves.

But the practice of force feeding the birds until their livers swell up to 10 times the natural size to produce the delicacy unfortunately hasn’t been dropped from other supermarkets and restaurants.

Tamara has taken her clothes off in the name of animals for other campaigns, posing for an anti-fur campaign, wearing nothing but a checkered flag, referencing her father Bernie Ecclestone‘s Formula 1 Racing Company.

Actress and Playboy model Shauna Sand stepped out Madeo’s restaurant in Beverly Hills, California recently with a companion on her arm.

Let’s hope this companion is as phony as a Playmate’s breasts and Shauna is sporting fake fur.

Although Hugh Hefner‘s girlfriends may not mind being cramped up in the mansion, animals kept in cages on fur farms definitely mind their lack of freedom and pain and suffering they endure when killed for the pelts.

What do you think?

Is Shauna fur real?

Please, please, please let it be fake!

Charlize Theron has collaborated with TOMS Shoes company to raise money for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP).

TOMS donated 10,000 pairs of shoes that will be available December 15 2009 and a portion of the proceeds for each pair sold will go towards the CTAOP.

One of the greatest bonus points of this charitable partnership is that the shoes to be sold are vegan friendly!

A description from toms.com reveals a description of the shoes as, “LiViTY eco-textile and vegan friendly construction, embroidered native baobob tree on over-dyed canvas, Lining with Africa Outreach Project logo pattern.”

The shoes are available in both women’s and men’s styles, titled “Baobob Sunset” and “Baobob Night,” respectively.

The CTAOP works to create a safer and more comfortable life for African children and families living in poverty, particularly those with HIV/AIDS.

TOMS is best known for its One for One program, where every pair of shoes purchased is matched with a donated pair to a child in need.

The company features a good selection of vegan friendly shoes made with recycled products.

“If I’m home, it’s ‘Garbage Disposal Salad.’ It’s my most made meal that my mom taught me to do when I was in high school.” As the name states, there’s everything in there from greens, cucumbers and spinach to blueberries, grapes, black beans and cashews: “anything that gives it, for lack of a better word, a ‘meaty’ texture. So you don’t feel like you’re eating a salad.”

—-Kristen Bell, during an interview on her favorite meal to eat at home.

The Garbage Disposal Salad? Never heard of waste that sounds that delicious!

Tom Cruise‘s latest movie Knight and Day came to a halt recently when half ton animals escaped from the set.

The seven bulls were present to recreate a scene for Pamplona’s running of the bulls.

The animals were on the loose for half and hour and injured two women during their joyride through Spain.

PETA took the opportunity to write to Cruise, urging him to influence producers of the show to reconsider using the animals and cutting the scene altogether.

“The Running of the Bulls is an inherently cruel event that causes severe stress and often injury to the animals involved. The bulls’ hooves slip on the pavement as they race frantically, trying to escape the chaos. Sometimes, in their confusion, they bash into doors or the sides of buildings, breaking horns or legs. Human runners and spectators gouge them with sticks or pull their tails. People, too, are injured, gored, or trampled by bulls who are desperate to escape. What awaits the animals that evening in the bullring is even more gut-wrenching. Bulls are repeatedly stabbed and bled to weaken them, and bullfighters sever the animals’ spines while they are fully conscious.”

With the technology we have in the 21st century, who needs live animal for a production anyway?
