Vegetarian Star

Light years away from her past party life, Nicole Richie is living cleaner and healthier than ever.

She insists one-year old daughter Harlow and partner Joel Madden only consume organic fruits and vegetables. When she prepares meals for her family, it usually consists of lots of salads and vegetable stir fries.

Not surprising, considering Joel is vegetarian.

With Nicole’s new love of all things organic and veggie (she’s even growing her own organic, vegetable garden in the backyard of her home in Hollywood), and a man who doesn’t touch meat, will Nicole finally give in and go veg altogether? It surely would make things more convenient and healthier for the whole fam.

And there’s no better way to bring in expectant baby #2 in than starting it off with a plant based diet.

Best of luck to Nicole and her healthier adventures!

Heather Mills has just signed up on Twitter!

Tired of others impersonating her on the social networking site, Mills said she plans to use the site to share both her vegan recipes and “feelings on any number of things,” with the intention to “tell it exactly like it is”.

You can follow Heather @heatherofficial, where she’s already put up a couple of Tweets, including one about her Brighton Foodie Festival appearance today.

“I have to prepare all the food for the Brighton Foodie festival, so psyched to be invited to cook alongside some top chefs.”

Yesterday, she also made humor to the fact that the birds were Tweeting outside the first day she started Tweeting.

“Funny on my first day of twittering, the birds in my garden wake me up at 5am, twittering.”

Daisy De La Hoya recently suffered from exhaustion and had to recover in a hospital room, according to msnbc.com.

After hearing her complaints about the lack of serious men she’s trying to hook up with on Daisy of Love, it’s no wonder the poor gal gave out!

Apparently, these men are members of the Vh1 Fraternity and love to drink, drink, and drink. Did we mention they like alcohol?

Entertainment Weekly reported Daisy to have once said, “This is Daisy of Love. Not I Love Liquor.”

Too bad for Daisy, that she missed out on one contestant, Syracuse resident Brian Magee, who was let go shortly after winning a chance to compete on the show. Magee is a straight-edge vegan like Fall Out Boy’s Andy Hurley. And straight-edgers don’t drink alcohol.

Maybe in a different life Daisy. For now, it’s Bachelor Heineken or Bachelor Coors.

Although Ginnifer Goodwin used to be a cheeseburger lover, she doesn’t crave those anymore. But that doesn’t mean cares if someone else does. From the editor’s blog at W magazine:

“So many people say to me, ‘I tried, and it was too hard,’ or ‘I had to cheat,’ and I always think, ‘Then it’s not right for you,'” Ginnifer said.

“You shouldn’t have to try. For me there’s no “try” involved. There’s nothing I want less than a piece of cheese or a burger. I have nightmares I’m being force-fed these things. I have no interest in converting anyone. It’s purely how I want to live my life. I don’t judge anyone.”

Ginnifer took some flack for posing in leather and silk for the W magazine shoot, which her cousin and Humane Society of the United States coordinator, JP Goodwin, explained to readers in the comments section on a post at supervegan.com.

What do you guys think of judgemental vegans? Should people make more effort to educate and change the diet of others. Or will this only turn people away?

We love our veggie athletes, like Georges Laraque, so much, we can’t stop talking about them.

Which is why we’re proud to bring you “10 Superstar Athletes Who Don’t Eat Meat”, courtesy of treehugger.com.

First base man Prince Fielder made the list, along with famed vegetarian bodybuilder Bill Pearl, football quarterback Joe Namath, and Iron Man champ Dave Scott.

“Dave Scott holds the record for most Iron Man World Championship victories ever (along with his rival Mark Allen, who managed to rack up an equal number of wins). The Iron Man competition, which consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a 26 mile marathon run, is one of the most strenuous physical feats in the world. And Scott won six of them, all while vegetarian. He even came out of retirement at 40 to compete again, and took second place. Today, at age 55, he still participates. In other words, this is one gnarly vegetarian dude.”

There’s just one problem, dude. Where’s Mac Danzig?

The Ultimate Fighter 6 winner and UFC contract holder has been a vegan since 2004 and has always been public about his diet to major media sources like Men’s Fitness. 

Ah, we get it. Someone must have drafted him before Treehugger got dibs.

Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie Sioux & The Banshees has two darling kitties she loves dearly, but can’t stand making homemade cat food for them because she has to handle chicken.

“One of them got ill and now he won’t eat cat food,” she told the Times Online.

“I’m a vegetarian and now I have to go to Waitrose and get corn-fed free-range chicken for the little f***er. That’s all he’ll eat. I’m just waiting for the day when he decides he’s off the chicken and it’s got to be duck!”

Siouxsie Sioux, whose real name is Susan Janet Ballion, says she’s trying to teach her cats to use the toilet via Litter Kwitter. Good luck with that one!

While it’s been traditionally thought that cats need meat to get essential nutrients in their diets, some vegan cat food products have hit the market, including those sold at Vegancats.com.

The key is that these foods contain taurine, which is vital to a cat’s health.

Of course any changes to an animal’s diet should be discussed with your vet.

We all remember that pivotal point in our lives when we turned vegetarian or vegan. Whether it was one last Thanksgiving meal or getting sick from a bad cheesy dish or watching a documentary on animal cruelty, the decision to go veg is often as memorable as first jobs or wedding dates.

Big Love and He’s Just Not That Into You actress Ginnifer Goodwin explained to W magazine’s editor what her defining moment for veganism was.

“We were filming the road trip episode of this season’s Big Love and we were staying in a hotel. I was doing a lot–and I mean a lot—of yoga at the time, and I’ve heard it’s not uncommon for something like this to happen when you are in a stage like that. Anyway, I was having my morning coffee, and I was pouring milk into it, and all I can say is that I suddenly realized what it was that I was pouring into my coffee. I was so disgusted, because I had never actually stopped to think about what milk is. And dairy had always been my favorite food group! I thought, ‘Surely this feeling will pass,’ but at lunchtime I was still disgusted. Over the next few days, I started really thinking about what I was eating.”

Can you remember the exact event that served as the catalyst for you go to go veg?

King of mean American Idol judge Simon Cowell can no longer continue to play the Dr. Evil cause we know he’s just a big ol’ softie.

Simon recently gave an interview with PETA where he talked about everything doggy related-from buying purebreeds to adoption to animal care and cruelty. When the subject of past Idol contestant’s involvement in animal issues came up (like Carrie Underwood), Simon even joked that they’d have to put being good to animals on the audition questionnaire.

Here are a few tidbits:

We see a lot of dogs chained outside like bicycles, for life. What is your message to people who do that?

That’s disgraceful. The awful thing about what that person doesn’t realize is that in the dog’s mind, as he’s being chained up … that dog has put his trust in the person who’s chaining him. That dog would give up his life nine times out of 10 for the person who’s chaining him up. … For a dog, under those circumstances, just to be left alone, starving to death, lonely and thirsty, is about as low as a person can go. You’ve got to have a really warped, disgusting personality to want to do something like that. That really disgusts me.

Do you think it’s important to adopt a dog or cat rather than buying one from a pet store?

Well, I mean, if I was buying a dog, I wouldn’t buy it from a pet shop, I’d go to a rescue shelter. Or I’d go to a friend who couldn’t take care. … It’s not where the dog came from, it’s the dog. … I get really annoyed when people start telling me about the make and the model of their dog like [for] a car. … A dog is a dog, no matter what background they’ve got. … Often, the mutts, the strays have got more personality than a highly bred pedigree.
