Vegetarian Star

Oh, dear.

What’s happened to Kate Moss?

The model who’s BFFs include ethical designer Stella McCartney was recently seen leaving a Vivienne Westwood fashion show in London.

Kate made the announcement she was giving meat-free Mondays a try and although she’s been called out for her fur loving ways in the past, Kate’s been spotted faking it before.

Take a look and decide for yourself.

Is Kate fur real?

Sure hope she’s faking it.

Months after losing her best four legged Maltipoo friend Daisy, Jessica Simpson is thinking of adopting another animal.

Simpson Tweeted that she’d like to own a pig.

“I’m thinking about getting a pet pig. Does this mean I’ll have to give up pork?”

Sounds like a fairly innocent statement.

Simpson’s love for her new pet might cause her to rethink eating many animals, including pigs.

But PETA isn’t satisfied and issued a statement to US magazine:

“Pigs, who are smarter than dogs and every bit as sensitive to pain and stress, don’t belong in Jessica’s stomach or carted around as her latest.”

Simpson’s pet move could place her in the ranks of another celebrity scorned by the animal rights group for her treatment of animals–Paris Hilton.

The hotel heiress bought “Princess Piglet” last fall.

If Simpson cuts bacon, ham and Spam from her diet, she may discover that meaty taste doesn’t have to involve saturated fat or slaughter.

Some girls are still eating meat, but real girls know when it’s time to at least go flexitarian.

Tom Colicchio is working on a new cookbook that is set to be released in 2011 through Artisan books.

According to Artisan’s executive director of publicity, Amy Corley, Colicchio’s new book will be, “very different from anything he’s ever done.”

Might Top Chef fans may be in for less meat and more potatoes?

During a recent benefit for The Hungry in America Project hosted by FEED Projects and the Feed Foundation, Colicchio and Natalie Portman paused for a moment to chat with The Stylist.

Portman expressed excitement about one of Colicchio’s vegetarian recipes.

“He does a delicious potato flatbread pizza,” she said.

Colicchio’s new cookbook will not only offer recipes and techniques, but also Tom’s “philosophies and beliefs” about cooking food.

Is Simon Cowell giving up mincemeat for Leona Lewis?

The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Bleeding Love singer has convinced X Factor and American Idol‘s most cantankerous judge to support Paul McCartney‘s Meat-Free Mondays campaign.

And it sounds like Leona has Simon already eating tofu from the palm of her hand.

“Anything I ask Simon to get involved in regarding my charity and environmental concerns he always does. He’s cool like that.”

Meanwhile, Leona is spreading the word about vegetarianism at work.

“I’ve banned meat from all photo shoots to the tour itself simply because I don’t support the meat industry.”

Simon’s mother, Julie Cowell, reports her son is getting serious with his girlfriend.

Julie told Britain’s Hello magazine, “I haven’t seen the ring yet, but I do believe they will get engaged. But if you’d asked me this three weeks ago, I would have said, ‘Absolutely not!”

Will there soon be a wedding with vegan cake after the ceremony?

Who wants to see Michael Vick naked?

You don’t have to raise your hand just yet, but the people at Playgirl magazine have already put money on the table for Vick to bare all if he donates $1 million to PETA.

“I sent the request to Michael Vick on Wednesday,” Daniel Nardicio, Playgirl rep tells Life & Style. “But we haven’t heard back yet.”

“I figured he paid back society for dog fighting, but what about the animals?” said Daniel.

“This way he could donate a large sum to PETA and all he’d have to do is pose for the magazine! It’s kind of a win-win situation!”

For a real win-win situation, Vick could keep his clothes on and Playgirl could still donate money or time to animal causes.

Vick has voluntarily partnered with the Humane Society to  help deter youth from participating in dog fighting activities.

“It’s like I have a magic, secret toolbox that handles everything and I want everybody to have it because it’s amazing. It really opens your heart up and takes the gunk away. All that nasty food we put in our body that is just gunking up our system … it’s hard to know what’s your right move. So I feel grateful for (my diet) because of the clarity I feel.”

—-Alicia Silverstone, creatively stating how a vegan diet helps her maintain a busy routine and keeps her looking great for performances like her recent play, Time Stands Still.

Comedian Carol Leifer is one of the contestants on Celebrity Apprentice 3, which debuts on NBC March 14 at 9/8 c.

Leifer, who became a vegan last year, has decided to donate the $250,000 to Long Island North Shore Animal League if she wins the top prize.

“There is a huge pet overpopulation crisis in this country,” Leifer says in the video where she discusses her chosen charity. “Four million cats and dogs are euthanized every year. And as far as I’m concerned, that’s four million too many.”

Practicing what she preaches, Leifer and her partner have a total of seven rescue animals.
