Dita Von Teese

Dita Von Teese has taken her burlesque striptease show to Paris, France, where she tantalizes with her sensual moves at the Crazy Horse. The American dancer divides her time between Paris and the United States, cramming in marathon French lessons and shopping at the markets in between routines, and admits she misses Los Angeles at times, partially because of the selection of vegetarian restaurants there.

“I miss driving my cars [Dita has a 1939 Chrysler New Yorker, a 1965 Jaguar S-type and a BMW Z4] and some of my favourite vegetarian restaurants, although I am not actually a vegetarian,” Von Teese told Connexion France.

France is sometimes known for being a paradise for meat eaters, but according to food blogger David Lebovitz, there’s no shortage in vegetarian fare in the City of Lights.

Rhona Mitra Of “The Gates” Gets Green With Popeater

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, July 22nd, 2010 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink.

Rhona Mitra
Rhona Mitra stars in the new ABC television series The Gates, a crime drama show with a supernatural twist.

It’s going to take more than superpowers to restore the Gulf Coast to its pre-BP disaster state, and the actress recently discussed her thoughts on the oil spill and environmental issues with Popeater.

On Hollywood being viewed as hypocritical for being green (e.g. taking private jets):
I’m very aware of people who want to be seen doing the right thing on the exterior so they can make themselves feel better. I have implemented things in my life that I do behind closed doors that on the outside don’t look like anything. For example I’m a vegan, which is a very touchy area because when people hear you’re vegan they’re like, ‘That’s so righteous.’

Seth Rogan

Seth Rogen is set to star alongside Barbra Streisand in My Mother’s Curse, a film about a son out to reunite his mother with an old flame.

Rogen is an inventor who’s just created an organic cleaning product he plans to show off to various marketing outlets while taking the road trip with mom.

It’s highly appropriate that the show has a mother/son/eco-friendly theme to it, given the recent reports on a woman’s risk of breast cancer after being routinely exposed to common household cleaning products.

The research conducted at Silent Spring Institute in Newton, Massachusetts found women who often used household cleaning products were 110% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those who used them less often. Those that used air fresheners were 90% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those who used them less often.

Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes will play a staunch vegan named Mary Powell who earns the love interest of meat eating co-worker Louis Ives (Paul Dano) in the new film, The Extra Man. Since the two are both working for an environmental magazine, it’s only fitting that Louis reduce his meat intake too–heck, even if it’s only to win Mary’s heart.

When he’s not sneaking looks at Mary, Louis spends his time with Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline), an aging playwright who’s agreed to take Louis under his wing and rent him a room in his rundown apartment.

Watch the trailer below.

Recently Jada told People Pets she rescued a dog in Beijing. The chow-husky mix is named “Beijing Black,” which means “Little Brave” in Chinese and he adds to the family’s already rescued canine family of 2 huskies, a shepherd mix and a pit bull mix.

Alicia Silverstone Favorite Vegetarian Dog Treats

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, July 16th, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Food & Drink.

Alicia Silverstone

Alicia Silverstone and her husband keep vegetarian in the entire family–including the couple’s dogs!

Silverstone recently took to her blog, The Kind Life, to discuss the dogs’ meatless diets and share her recommendations for canine food.

She feeds her pups the Canine Health Line from Dr. Harvey’s brand of dog food. Canine Health Line offers a mix of human grade organic grains, vegetables and herbs with absolutely no animal products. It functions as sort of a doggie “Hamburger Helper,” as you add your own protein to the mix, such as lentils, and cook it.

Silverstone recommends about adding extra supplements to the mix, though.
