Vegetarian Star

PETA has just announced that Real Housewives of New York city star and chef Bethenny Frankel has agreed to pose for their “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur,” campaign.

The ad will debut sometime in the fall and will feature Bethenny standing on top of a famous New York skyscraper.

Although she hasn’t come out as a total vegetarian yet, Bethenny is well known for demonstrating how to make delicious meat-free dishes, like Open Faced Pesto Boca Cheeseburger with soy cheese on sprouted grain bread.

The celebrity natural foods chef even created BethennyBakes™, baked goodies without eggs, wheat, and dairy.

So happy to hear this gal is taking a stance against fur. We’ll keep you posted when the ad comes out!

The ice he plays on may be cold, but NHL player Georges Laraque, who’s the enforcer for the Montreal Canadiens, sure has a warm heart for animals.

Laraque recently blogged about his participation in an anti-fur protest in Montreal. He’s also vegetarian and is working on becoming vegan.

“On May 3, 2009, I was present at an anti-fur conference protest in downtown Montreal. It was taking place right next to the Place Bonaventure, the site of a North American Fur and Fashion Exposition. About 50 protesters and I stood proud and firm in the defense of animals. I want to personally thank everyone who gave me the chance to be part of this event and I will make it my mission for the rest of my life to do everything I can to protect animals. I’m also proud to announce that I have officially become a vegetarian and will slowly work towards becoming totally vegan.”

You can view pics of Georges at the protest.

At six feet, three inches, 260 pounds, this athlete is surely a poster boy for potential Skinny Bastards who might be afraid to scarf down some seitan in fear of being wimpy. 

Wishing Georges best of luck with his vegan goals!

If you live near Brighton in England, you have it made this weekend as visiting the Foodie Festival will be like going to the grocery store and getting samples on every aisle.

Heather Mills will be giving visitors a taste of what they’ll receive once her new vegan restaurant, V-Bites, opens. She might also be sharing some dirty secrets of her ex, Paul McCartney.

“Audience members will be able to chat to the chefs, so it should be an interesting preview of what she plans to do with her new venture. Not to mention a little insight into what Paul used to get for his tea,” said one Brighton, local, according to hellomagazine.com.

Vegan food and ex gossip? A Saturday couldn’t get any better.

Heather will be sharing the kitchen with other  local chefs, including Sussex chef of the year, Ben Goldsmith.

We know there will always be hot chicks at the yoga studio Russell Simmons visits, but now we know exactly where to find them.

The hip hop businessman likes putting himself into a pretzel at Jivamukti Yoga School in New York city where he can also visit their Vegan Café, featuring veggie soups and sandwiches.

If you’re not hungry, you can always get in the mood to shop at the retail store and pick up some vegan pet food or clothing made from natural and sustainable resources like hemp.

The founders of the school, Sharon Gannon and David Life, regularly host benefits for animal and environmental causes.

Lots of star sighting can take place here as celebrities like Sting and Uma Thurman have been known to pay a visit.

Pokerstars.net and the Hollywood office of the Humane Society of the United States recently got together for an evening of gambling, vegan snacks, and fun.

Actress Jorja Fox looked lovelier than ever as she played her chips and cards and fellow veggie actress Shannon Elizabeth was also dealing a sharp hand to help the animals. 

Proceeds from the “Casino Royale: Playing for Change” event went towards implementing the Los Angeles HSUS’s End Dogfighting program, which educates high risk youth about caring for pit bulls versus putting them up for dogfighting. The program has already proven successful in other large cities like Chicago.

This past weekend’s event included blackjack, roulette, craps and poker, a martini and wine bar, gourmet vegan food catered by Madeleine Bistro, a silent auction, and a celebrity poker tournament.

Wonder if vegan poker great Daniel Negreanu made an appearance?

Read more about the event on the Humane Society’s blog at hsus.org and look at  more pics from the evening on their Flickr page.

Vegan desserts are a weakness for anyone. From Uncle Eddie’s cookies to So Delicious Ice Cream to Amy’s new vegan cakes, you could easily rack up the grocery bill is sugar coated goodies and forget all the other “essentials” you came for.

Alicia Silverstone apparently is just as mortal as the rest of us and is a big fan of “Snickrz,” a cake made with chocolate, peanut butter, caramel and nuts.

We know this because raw foods chef Stephen Hauptfuhr has told all to the Los Angeles Times blog. Hauptfuhr opened a raw vegan foods catering company, Mooi, after hosting dozens of dinner parties at  his home and realizing that he could charge his friends, but he could make even more money charging others (haha, uh, we added that last revelation).

Some items on his catering menu include beet fettuccine with cilantro pesto and chocolate chili tacos with marinated greens

Oh, yeah, let’s not forget about the desserts, which are sold at the Elf cafe in LA (makes us think the Keebler elves went vegan and quit to work for someone else).

Soon Hauptfuhr will be opening his own cafe.

The final two American Idol contestants, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen, have been chosen to duel it out onstage next week in front of millions of viewers. Sorry Danny Gokey fans, if you taped the show and haven’t watched it yet.

While we love our Idol contestants and are cheering for both, it’s necessary to call one singer out for his choice of clothing.

Lambert wore snakeskin boots during his recent public appearances (look at the feet, click on the pointy arrow so the small pics aren’t covering them up) including the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in California.

While he may have chosen the right songs every week, according to Simon Cowell, Lambert definitely chose the wrong shoes that day.

Whether it was leather with snakeskin print or real snakeskin hide, neither combination is worth idolizing.

And Lambert didn’t mention anything about the boots being faux, so we can only assume, unfortunately, it’s the real deal.

Just hoping his guyliner comes from a company that doesn’t test on animals.

Maybe Adam will follow the lead of other Idol contestants like Carrie Underwood and go veg, lose the boots, and gain an understanding of the cruelty involved in using animals for clothing.

Until then, he’ll be in our bottom three for awhile.

The veg room at Fox’s House is getting roomier now that Kal Penn (Dr. Kutner)has left for the White House. But Lisa Edelstein and Olivia Wilde are still holding down the fort, along with their male vegetarian counterpart, Omar Epps. Lisa Edelstein frequently makes veg dishes for her guests and claims they never miss the meat. Wilde will be eating more than one veggie burger, given the fact she can eat 33 pancakes in 20 minutes. So between the two House actresses, who would you rather do?
