Alec Baldwin is an actor, vegetarian, environmentalist and…restaurant consultant?

According to some sources, he is.

In Sag Harbor, New York, Estia’s Little Kitchen exists that can serve you Big Al’s Burrito, a mixed vegetable, veggie burger, egg whites, and Jack Cheese for lunch.

Alec Baldwin payed a visit one day and suggested the restaurant veg up their menu in the Omelets and Tortilla Starts section.

Estia’s takes advice well.

Jim Carrey Says Swine Flu Exists Because We Treat Pigs Badly

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues.

DISNEY LAUNCHES A CHRISTMAS CAROL TRAIN TOUR

Jim Carrey made a statement during his acceptance speech at the MTV movie awards that sounded as if he has a beef with pig factory farming.

“There wouldn’t be a swine flu if we treated the pigs better!” Carey said.

Is he referring to the cramped conditions pigs are kept, where they have little to no room to move around and often lie in their own and other animals’ excrement? Dr. Michael Greger of the Humane Society agrees these are breeding grounds for diseases.

When a celebrity makes a statement that has animal rights tones in it, vegetarians get really excited, even if that celebrity isn’t veg.

Still, perhaps out of optimism, statements can be taken out of context. Remember when Kelly Clarkson cancelled her show at the rodeo? Here we thought she was doing it out of concern for the animals, but the show was just inconvenient for her schedule. Not to mention, she even quit being a vegetarian!

We hope Jim means exactly what he said and sees factory farming for what it really is-unhealthy for the planet, the animals’ and human health.

While you’re on the subject of sticking up for the animals Jim, tell girlfriend Jenny McCarthy to lay off that mammal killing Botox!

Who Would You: Omar Epps Or Noah Wyle (The TV Doc Edition)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 in Actors, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

ER has closed its final hospital room curtain, but Noah Wyle’s presence on the set for years most certainly helped the show become an Emmy award winning hit. One less hospital show on the air leaves one less vegetarian actor who portrays a doctor, but have no fear, Omar Epps still graces the screen on House. Hospital cafeterias aren’t exactly known for their delicious food, so plan on getting your veggie burger or any other meal elsewhere. So between the two gentlemen, who would you rather do…

PETA To Amitabh Bachchan: Go Veg To Go Green At IIFA Event!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 in Actors, Bollywood, Environment-Eco-Green.

Chandni Chowk To China UK Premiere In London

Amitabh Bachchan is a longtime vegetarian and PETA wants him to encourage others to do so by serving only vegetarian food at an India International Film Academy (IIFA) event in Macau, China next month.

After all, the theme for the event is “Go-Green,” and what environmentalist doesn’t know by now that meat isn’t environmentally friendly.

PETA India chief functionary Anuradha Sawhney sent a letter to Bachchan containing the following statement:

“We were thrilled to hear that this year’s IIFA Awards are going to have a ‘Go Green’ theme, and we commend you for helping to once again draw attention to the global climate crisis. On behalf of PETA India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to serve only green (vegetarian) food at the event.”

“By doing so, you will send a strong message that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits.”

Do you know any environmentalists who really haven’t “gone green all the way” yet? Are they missing the connection between wasted land and energy in raising farm animals for human food consumption (not to mention other animal consumption)?

Get in the game and drop them a little note like the one sent to Bachchan! Some one’s gotta remind them that meat’s not green!

He’s not quite wearing the crown yet, but Russell Brand is currently in second place for the title of Mr. Twitter Universe. Given his bad boy history, this honor better not be something that can be rescinded at the drop of a scandal, or he’s in big trouble.

A Russell fan has compiled a list of reasons why you should vote for him, which includes his love for animals.

“Russell has been a vegetarian since his teens, is a doting and devoted pet owner to his beloved cat Morrissey, and has twice been named Europe’s Sexiest Vegetarian by PETA. He’s currently in the running for Sexiest Vegetarian Alive – in fact, while you’re at it, pop over and vote Russell Sexiest Vegetarian Alive, too.”

Of course, Russell also has his own troupe of strippers @BrandyStrippers, so you know he’s the best man for the job.

Chace Crawford Sexes Up Big Macs: How Unsexy!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

2009 CW Upfronts in NYCWe learned earlier that Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr partook in some serious hamburger whoredom after taking a decade vow of meat celibacy.

We were disappointed this ex-vegetarian was so delighted at tasting meat in 10 years that she described it as “orgasmic,” so it comes as an even bigger blow that another Gossip Girl star, Chace Crawford, has also recently expressed his love for a Big Mac.

In the June issue of InStyle magazine, Chace was quoted as saying, “There’s nothing sexier than a Big Mac. I don’t eat a lot of them, but it’s just a whole complete package.”

Just what is so sexy about grilled bloody flesh, cholesterol card carrying mayonnaise, and a slice of cheese manufactured from milk taken from a whored-out dairy cow that will ultimately get the ax once a younger, sexier heifer who can birth a calf and produce milk comes along?

If you hear the gossip as to why the cast is so darn carnivorous, let us know.

Vegan Vindaloo And Mum Make Andrew G. A Happy Man

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, May 23rd, 2009 in Actors, Celebrity Tweets, TV Hosts.

Arrivals At The Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2007

Mmmm…who doesn’t love Indian buffets? All the naan, curry, and samosas your belly can hold. Not to mention most other Indian dishes are veggie too.

Vindaloo is usually made from pork, wine, and garlic. But actor and co-host of reality TV show Australian Idol, Andrew G., found a veggie version he shared with mom one evening.

“Dinner with Mum. A vegan vindaloo. I’m warm on the inside from both experiences.”

Can there be nothing better than a veg man who loves his mom? Ladies, unfortunately, he’s already taken and married to actress and producer Noa Tishby.
