Paley Center For Media Celebrates How I Met Your Mother 100th Episode

Alyson Hannigan is quite the locavore.

If she can’t find the produce she wants at the nearby Farmers Market, she’ll go straight to her backyard.

“We go to the farmers market all the time,” she told Mother Nature Network. “We’re putting in an organic garden to grow things I can’t get at the farmers market.”

What does the How I Met Your Mother actress plan to put in her soil?

“We’ll do unusual lettuces and a particular kind of cucumber and a lot of different herbs.”

No pesticides, no fuel used in transport, no worrying about double bagging the produce so your eco-friendly laundry detergent doesn’t accidentally season your red leaf lettuce.

Backyard organic gardening sounds like the way to go!

Jennifer Love Hewitt Eats Vegetarian Chili With No Bones

Jennifer Love Hewitt Lunches in Style

The ghosts Jennifer Love Hewitt is talking to must be giving her some advice on how to grab a delicious, meat-free lunch.

The actress was spotted at Kitchen 24 eating vegetarian chili with a friend.

Sweet deal that Jennifer decided to make a healthier, plant based decision that day.

She has complained in the past about being “grossed out” by eating chicken because when her teeth touched the bone, it reminded her it was…well, an animal.

“It’s just gross. It’s really weird – I can eat chicken if I take if off the bone but I can’t eat a chicken leg and have my teeth touch the bone. It freaks me out. It’s just the chicken skin. You go, ‘Oh gosh, I’m eating a chicken’, and it’s really disturbing.”

Here’s to more bean chili and less chicken, Jennifer.

Have an acai drink on all of us vegetarians!

Kirsten Dunst–Lost In Fur Translation

Nordstrom & Vogue Host Quicktake : Rodarte Exhibition Opening Party

Kirsten Dunst attended the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum’s Rodarte exhibit where the NY Post was able to catch her thoughts on the fur explosion at New York Fashion Week.

“You know what, I don’t hate on people that wear fur, obviously, but I just, as an actress I know that I repre — like, people go, ‘Oh, she looks cool in that,’ and it’s not my fave. I don’t want animals being killed for — it’s not my favorite thing.”

That’s quite a mouthful to take in, but the Veg Star thinks Kirsten meant something like this:

KD: You know what, I don’t hate on people that wear fur
Translation: I won’t throw paint on you if you wear fur

KD: as an actress I know that I repre — like
Translation: I don’t want to set a bad example by wearing fur

KD: people go, ‘Oh, she looks cool in that,’ and it’s not my fave
Translation: She looks really ugly in that. Some people have really bad taste in fashion.

KD: I don’t want animals being killed for — it’s not my favorite thing
Translation: Killing animals for fur is just wrong. Period.

Daryl Hannah Prefers Spending Time With Animals

Daryl Hannah Has A Board Game

Fans of Daryl Hannah might see less of her on screen, unless there’s a casting for the female Evan Almighty in the works.

Hannah says she prefers spending time with her animals than on a movie set, according to Contact Music.

“I’ve been acting since I was 11 years old and it’s an incredibly wonderful and beautiful creative outlet and I think it can be an inspiring thing for people’s imaginations and a wonderful escape,” Hannah said.

“I still love movies and I always will but, as I grow up, my priorities shift a little bit to things of a little more substance and I want to be of service as much as I can.”

Having alpacas, chickens and roosters, she’s got plenty of non human friends to give her attention to.

Hannah says she often takes in rescue animals and the ones she doesn’t give away become permanent residents at her farm.

Finola Hughes Homemade Veggie Burger Suggestion (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 18th, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Recipes, Videos.

Finola Hughes offers her advice for making good tasting veggie burgers in this clip featuring the soap opera actress and Eliza Dushku.

“Grate up some beet in there,” Finola suggested.

Do you agree with Finola’s taste?

Or does her idea of perfecting a meatless patty make you do a veggie Lisa Simpson move and say, “meh.”

The next time you’re cooking, conduct your own experiment and throw a little beet in The Ultimate Veggie Burger recipe.
