Vegetarian Star

For their anniversary, Alyssa Milano‘s husband gave her the gift of fresh, locally grown food without harmful pesticides to the environment.

“For our one-year anniversary, my husband built me an organic vegetable garden,” Milano said, according to MNN. “I’m so obsessed with it.We just had our first salad, and it was absolutely scrumptious.”

The vegetarian with several rescue dogs is said to grow several vegetables including arugula, spinach, green beans, broccoli and tomatoes.

In some regions in the world, gardening is the last project to start, as snow and ice have already covered the ground. Organic Gardening has an online guide which gives tips for gardening, from planting to protecting plants during adverse conditions to harvesting, depending on your region in the United States.

Chrissie Hynde‘s been eying different cities to launch her second Vegiterranean, a vegan Italian restaurant she opened in her hometown in Ohio a few years ago. While those of us in the U.S. would love a Chrissie dining establishment near us, she’s thinking about taking her business down under. In an open letter to Melbourne, Australia, published in the Herald Sun, Hynde discusses the possibilities of setting up vegan shop there, taking advantage of the numerous local farmers and vendors to provide the freshest ingredients. She is impressed by Melbourne’s green attitude, both food-wise and for their transportation. “Been exploring Melbourne. Mainly nosing around to figure out if my vegan restaurant would fly here. I think it would. Yes, a Vegiterranean in Melbourne. Local produce, local investors, local flavour. There’s nothing like it here and I think the climate is perfect – progressive, health conscious – animal friendly?” (more…)

Heather Mills has written a vegan cookbook that’s set for release on December 5th,  2010 titled “LoveBites.”

LoveBites, which features many recipes using vegan meats from her line of Redwood Food products, will be available on Amazon and all proceeds will benefit charities.

On the day of the launch, Heather will offer complementary food samples and personal signings of the book at her V Bites restaurant in Hove Lagoon in the UK.

“In this book I hope to show that it’s really easy to change to an environmentally friendly diet and recreate meat-free versions of traditional family favorites without giving up on great tasting, satisfying food,” Mills was quoted as saying.

“I hope this recipe book will inspire people to cook the great variety of dishes on offer and create exciting, friendly menus filled with the most important ingredient of all, love.”

More to come when the book is released!

“I hope it gets people to think – that’s really the intent of the film. I’m really not a person that likes to tell people what to do, or say what they should and shouldn’t do, but I feel like they haven’t been presented with this information – many people are just unaware of it – and I think, after they see this, if they go home and go “hm…” and begin to think about their diets and consider consuming more plant foods, that would be something I’d really like to see people get out of this movie. I hope to see the diet change in this country. We’ve tried the animal-based diet and it really hasn’t worked out for us, so I’m hoping to see us trend toward a more plant-based diet because I think it’ll be better for people’s health and for the planet.”

Leona Lewis is a vegetarian who loves animals and has demonstrated her compassion by partnering with animal welfare groups for various campaigns.

We’re sure she’d love for all homeless cats to be adopted. Just don’t expect her to sign any papers inviting kitty into her home.

The singer is reportedly fearful of “evil” cats, which she revealed on a DVD promoting her Labyrinth tour.

“A cat jumped on me the other week,” Lewis said. “They scare me. It hissed and scratched my legs – I didn’t know what to do! So I got up and shook my leg, but she was stuck to it. It was an evil cat. I don’t like evil cats.”

Anyone with a extreme fear of cats, even the non-evil ones, is said to have Ailurophobia (pronounced ahy-loor-uh-foh-bee-uh), or an abnormal fear of felines. The condition is popular enough to get its own group on Facebook.

Ellen DeGeneres has voluntarily “killed herself” by not Tweeting until enough funds are raised for a campaign to draw awareness to HIV/AIDS and find a cure.

The vegan talk show host gave her last Tweet, urging her followers to visit KeepAChildAlive.org to donate to the cause.

“I’m logging off Twitter to raise money for Keep a Child Alive. Pledge here to bring me back to life!”

Several celebrities are participating in the event, including Kim Kardashian, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga, leaving a total of almost 30 million followers on Twitter without updates until $1 million is raised for the charity that Alicia Keys initiated by signing off her Twitter account.

The official video for the campaign can be viewed below. Visit KeepAChildAlive.org for more information and BuyLife.org to make a donation.
