Vegetarian Star

“Food is an emotional thing. People are attached to it like it’s a girlfriend or boyfriend. They’ll say, “I’m not giving up my fried chicken!” I say, “She’s cheating on you. She’s hurting your heart.”

–John Salley, during an exclusive interview with Vegetarian Times in the March 2011 issue. Know anyone who’s in love with the bad boy or girl like steak, chicken or dairy? It’s time for relationship therapy!

Wolfgang Puck has once again took charge of the catering for the annual post Oscar bash.

Puck saw to it that a vegetarian paella was put on the list for the likes of stars like Natalie Portman, who won Best Actress in a Leading Role for Black Swan.

Paella is a rice-based dish that originated in the Valencia region of Spain that may contain ingredients even many carnivores wouldn’t dream of eating.

Likes snails. Eww!

Charlie Sheen may be in the dog house, but his ex-wife knows real pups don’t belong  there.

Access Hollywood Live kicked off a monthly pet adoption series that will air during its one hour daily entertainment talk show.

Denise Richards helped launch the program last Friday, along with her friend Rascal, a tan-colored Chihuahua rescued from the Los Angeles area.

Each monthly segment on Access Hollywood Live will feature animals available for adoption. Utah-based Best Friends Animal Society will help viewers who are interested in adopting the animal or get them in touch with a shelter in their area where they can give a four-legged friend a home.

“Thanks to Access Hollywood Live, this monthly animal segment will surely help us save more lives and result in many animals finding their forever home,” Richards said.

The video featuring Richards on the kick-off segment can be viewed below.

Kelsey Grammer may be saying “Cheers” to Meatless Monday now that he’s married to vegetarian Katye Walsh.

The two celebrated with both a pre-wedding dinner and wedding menu that was very vegetarian friendly.

“The only specific request was to make sure there were vegetarian items,” a source told Ok! Magazine. “Kayte is a vegetarian and Kelsey’s biggest concern was that she had vegetarian items to eat.”

TMZ obtained a copy of the wedding menu, which even notes clearly on the form that “Bride Is A Vegetarian.”

Bobby Flay is the host of a new reality TV cooking series that pits aspiring restaurant owners against one another in search for America’s Next Great Restaurant.

All the great chefs of today know there’s an increasing number of people who are looking to add plant-based meals into their lives, even if they’re not full time vegetarians.

Which is why we think it’s kind of silly for MSNBC to bash one contestant on the show for thinking vegetarian dining is the future of America.

Rachael Ray‘s 5th annual Burger Bash at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival took place last week and the only three words we can say are “Too Much Cow.”

Thank goodness Ray is vegetarian friendly and often includes veg recipes on her Food Network shows.

Her vegetarian chickpea burger is one such meat-free recipe, but this chef realizes that although nothing beats a handmade veggie burger where you can witness the culmination of oats, beans, veggies and other plant goodies come together, sometimes it’s nice to have a frozen or otherwise prepared patty to nuke in the microwave.

That’s why she conducted the veggie burger taste test. You could call it the sans animal flesh version of her burger bash.
