Alanis Morissette, Woody Harrelson Share Beauty Tips

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 in Actors, Female Musicians, Female Singers, Food & Drink.

Environmental Media Awards 2009

Woody Harrelson admitted that a woman’s advice to give up dairy cured his acne and made his face as smooth as a baby.

Apparently, Woody has been so excited about his beauty routine, he shared it with Alanis Morissette.

“I’ll never forget my friend Woody Harrelson telling me I needed to get rid of the dairy in my fridge to clear up my skin,” Alanis said. “He was right. My skin looks great now.”

Woody has quite an influence over the veg celebrities, as he even encouraged Alicia Silverstone to get naked more often.

Ahem…In the garden, that is.

Alanis changed her entire lifestyle after picking up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s Eat To Live, and says she now focuses on high nutrient foods like “fruit, nuts, collards, kale, and spinach.”

Tobey Maguire Natalie Portman–Who Would You [Brothers Edition]

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 in Actors, Actresses, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Two veggie will rule the silver screens this Friday December 4 as Brothers, starring Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman, will be released.

Both have always been vocal about the veg life.

Tobey has asked Congress to put some vegetarian food in school lunches instead of the usual road kill meatloaf.

Natalie can’t stop telling people how great it is to be vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s Eating Animals.

She also couldn’t stop bumming food off Tobey and his chef during the filming of Brothers.

Between the two, who would you rather do…

“Brothers” Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire Shared Vegan Chef

Natalie Portman arrives for the 2009 Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York

When it comes to the catering, the more vegetarians the better to make it easier on everyone who chooses cauliflower over chicken.

Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman star in Brothers, and the two not only got along well on screen, but during snack time as well.

When Natalie found out Tobey brought his own vegan chef to the set, she demanded that he share.

Natalie told marieclaire.com:

“Tobey Maguire brought his own vegan chef to the set. “I was like, ‘Um, could you make two of those?'”  “And I’d make a cute face, and they’d roll their eyes and give me another falafel.”

Although they say the camera adds 10 pounds, Natalie and Tobey probably never had to worry about finding bigger set clothes, since the vegan chef only served up the healthy stuff.

Wonder if Tobey convinced any other cast members to try a falafel from time to time?

Brendan Hines “Lie To Me” Star Phasing Out Meat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 in Actors, Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink.

arriving at the TV Guide Hot List Party 2009

Brendan Hines, the actor who plays Eli Loker on Fox’s Lie To Me, is going green all the way–eventually.

It’s taking some time to make the greatest green impact on the world by going vegetarian.

“I stopped eating meat,” Brendan said, according to mnn.com.

“I’m phasing it out slowly. I’m a pescatarian right now,” he added.

Guess it’s a good thing for Mother Earth that Brendan doesn’t like airports, saying they make him feel “crotchety” and he ages “about 50 years” when he’s flying.

Plus, when was the last time you got a gourmet veg meal on a plane trip?

Woody Harrelson, Ed Begley Jr. Two Non Hypocritical Greenies

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 in Actors, Environment-Eco-Green.

Premiere of The Messenger

Self proclaimed environmentalists who still eat meat are criticized for their diet’s impact on the earth.

And a celebrity who claims to live green while owning seven private jets and flies their favorite jelly from Italy to Australia has some explaining to do.

The Times Online has featured an article on the top celebrity green hypocrites, but two stars were listed as the exception to the rule–vegetarians Woody Harrelson and Ed Begley Jr.

“Ed Begley Jr from St Elsewhere and Best in Show became a vegan in 1970, bought one of the first electric cars, and has lived for years in a self-sufficient house that uses not just solar and wind energy but a toaster powered by a stationary bicycle.”

“The famous neo-hippie Woody Harrelson lives in a sustainable community in Hawaii, grows most of his food, uses only solar power, wears hemp clothes, eschews animal products, and fuels his car with biodiesel.”

Not surprising that two veggies were spared from being blacklisted in the green hypocrisy database.

Any smart environmentalist knows that meat’s not green and meat and dairy production emits more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined.

Read the article at the Times Online to learn about John Travolta‘s five private jets, Barack Obama flying a chef across the country just to make pizza (hello, Dominoes?) and other celebrity green hypocrite examples.

Tom Cruise “Knight And Day” Set–7 Escaped Bulls Injure Women

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, November 30th, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues, Film & TV.

24th Annual IMAGEN Awards

Tom Cruise‘s latest movie Knight and Day came to a halt recently when half ton animals escaped from the set.

The seven bulls were present to recreate a scene for Pamplona’s running of the bulls.

The animals were on the loose for half and hour and injured two women during their joyride through Spain.

PETA took the opportunity to write to Cruise, urging him to influence producers of the show to reconsider using the animals and cutting the scene altogether.

“The Running of the Bulls is an inherently cruel event that causes severe stress and often injury to the animals involved. The bulls’ hooves slip on the pavement as they race frantically, trying to escape the chaos. Sometimes, in their confusion, they bash into doors or the sides of buildings, breaking horns or legs. Human runners and spectators gouge them with sticks or pull their tails. People, too, are injured, gored, or trampled by bulls who are desperate to escape. What awaits the animals that evening in the bullring is even more gut-wrenching. Bulls are repeatedly stabbed and bled to weaken them, and bullfighters sever the animals’ spines while they are fully conscious.”

With the technology we have in the 21st century, who needs live animal for a production anyway?
