Anna Paquin, Ginnifer Goodwin On HBO’s Veggie Hotties List

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 2nd, 2009 in Actresses.

2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Graydon Carter - Arrivals

HBO must be the TV station for veggie hotties.  

It’s home to vegan Ginnifer Goodwin’s “Big Love” as well as True Blood ,where vegetarian Anna Paquin stars as a waitress who’s got a biting taste for a vampire (unknown if he’s a vegetarian vampire) played by Stephen Moyer.

Apparently, Stephen can’t get enough blood onscreen because the two are dating in real life.

She and Ginnifer Goodwin are featured in a gallery, The Fit 5: Tips to Feel (and Look) Like a Star, with each celebrity exhibiting some characteristic that can help anyone stay fit.

It’s a no brainer that a veg diet can keep you looking good and healthy, so it’s no surprise two of our favorite veggie gals made the list.

Along with following a meatless diet, Anna is into boxing, plyometrics (exercises including bounding and jumping) and weight work. Perhaps that’s why she’s listed under the “Become a Warrior,” tip for getting in shape.

Ginnifer, who’s an example of “Lighten up your diet,” was quoted as saying, “I don’t eat animal products. So everything is working a little better.”

Browse the entire gallery at People to gain a few other tips for getting and staying fit.

Jennie Garth, Peter Facinelli Kids Like Tofu

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 2nd, 2009 in Actresses, Children, Couples, Food & Drink.

11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards

Jennie Garth has an urban legend surrounding her much like Clint Eastwood did on his veganess.

The former “Beverly Hills 90210” actress and Dancing With the Stars contestant was recently interviewed by Energy Times, where she acknowledged the rumor, said she “hated eating animals,” but wasn’t a vegetarian.

“No, I’m not a true vegetarian,” she said. “I eat chicken and occasionally fish. I hate eating animals, but I have to get some protein in and the best way for me to do that would be to eat chicken or fish, although my kids eat tofu.”

“I don’t eat red meat.”

Hmm…You’d think that while she was sauteing tofu for the little ones, it’d be easy to fix herself a portion as well.

Heart disease runs rampant in the actress’ family and Jennie herself suffers from a leaky heart valve. While shunning red meat certainly helps her manage risk factors for heart troubles, there are numerous studies that show vegetarian and vegan diets prevent all sorts of diseases, including those that break the heart (physically).

Jennie is married to a “vegetarian vampire.” Her husband is Peter Facinelli, the guy who played Edward Cullen’s father, Dr. Carlisle Cullen, in the vampire movie Twilight

Wishing Jennie the best in managing her and her family’s health and hoping she has a tofu nugget or two to the replace the chicken ones she usually eats.

Frank Iero Demonstrates His Macbeth Cancer Fighting Shoes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, March 1st, 2009 in Fashion, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Videos.

Not long ago, we told you how Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance and LeATHERMOUTH designed some vegan shoes for MacBeth that included anatomically correct figures and instructions showing men and women how to check for and prevent testicular and breast cancer.

Here’s a video of Frank personally introducing the shoe in which portions of the sales go to the Syrentha Savio Endowment, a non-profit organization that works to fight breast cancer.

Frank shows where and how to cut the shoe to reveal his “artwork.”

There are two versions of the shoe, rated G and PG-13, depending on if you want to “fight” cancer, or use a more color expression, as you can see from the still frame of the video. 

Franks jokes he hopes you like it, but if you don’t, don’t tell him.

We’ll clear the air of any suspicion: We like them!

Bar Refaeli, Leonardo DiCaprio Shop At Whole Foods

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 27th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Models.

2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Graydon Carter - Arrivals

Update 2/28/09: We are so sad to learn that Bar is NOT a vegetarian. Although a few sources said she was, as of now, we learn she admits to eating a cheeseburger and fries once a week. Boo! 

The rumored vegetarian model and girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio, Bar Refaeli, was spotted shopping with her man Leo at Whole Foods.

The two packed the groceries on the back of Leo’s motorcycle.

If case you’ve forgotten (but don’t see how you could have), Bar is the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit hottie.

Many of our favorite veg celebs have been spotted at Whole Foods (possibly picking up organic vegetables from China), including Milo Ventimiglia, Stella McCartney, and Anne Hathaway.

Erykah Badu joked it was so expensive to shop there, you had to have a record deal to do so. With the amount of money Bar rakes in from showing off her bod, it’s safe to assume recording artists and models can afford to shop there. 

You can view pic of Bar and Leo with their groceries at Popsugar.

Cameron Diaz Ate Veg Curry, Naan At Madonna’s Oscar Party

2009 Film Independent Spirit Awards - Arrivals

Madonna the Material Girl threw an Oscar party recently where the theme appeared to be “Slumdog Millionaire,” according to the UK Daily Mail.

Since we know what a stickler Madonna is about veg food, of course there was plenty to go around.

Cameron Diaz was spotted soaking up the vegetarian curry and naan bread like a fish (or sea kitten) to water.

In addition to the curry and naan, Madge provided plenty of traditional Indian food at the bash where Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was the DJ and MC.

Cameron was once a vegetarian, but apparently was such a McDonald’s fanatic, she gave it up.

Aw, shucks! That McCurry and McNaan happy meal flatters her so much better.

“They are marshmallows. Or at least marshmallow-like treats.”

“And they claim to be “vegan.” But how can you really tell?”

“Because if you look at this symbol, it seems like they don’t quite understand what “vegan” means.”

“100% vegan. And now with real rabbit.”

dscf4806

—-Lost actor Jorge Garcia, on the irony of how a symbol for a vegan product is an animal. Apparently, the maker of the product, Sweet and Sara, had a rabbit for a childhood pet named Skipper. The bunny logo serves as a symbol that no animals were harmed in the production (ingredients or byproducts) of the marshmallows.
