Vegetarian Star

Claire Danes is starring in the HBO movie Temple Grandin, the story of a woman with autism who went on to become a professor in science and develop a more humane system of transporting cattle to slaughter.

Danes got the chance to work with cattle in the film, an experience she found rewarding.

“The scariest scene was lying prostrate on the ground with all of them circling me,” Danes said, but added the cows were “very passive.”

“It was fascinating to learn about them and learn about the cattle industry at large.”

Although Danes isn’t vegetarian, she praises methods that put less stress on an animal that will eventually be slaughtered.

“It’s not a paradox to eat meat. You just have to treat the animals in a humane way and with respect while they’re alive.”

Grandin has won an award from animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and was quoted as saying, “I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we’ve got to do it right. We’ve got to give those animals a decent life and we’ve got to give them a painless death. We owe the animal respect.”

Shiri Appleby plays Cate on The CW series Life Unexpected, about a teenage girl named Lux (Britt Robertson), finding her biological parents.

Robertson says she and her screen mother are completely opposites and it sounds as if Robertson could use a little advice in the nutrition category.

According to Robertson, Appleby works out for 2 hours a day and is a vegan, which probably means she won’t be sharing Robertson’s breakfast on the set unless someone buys her egg-free and milk-free donuts.

“I eat like no other,” Robertson said. “It drives everyone crazy. I eat donuts three times a day and I probably go through four Mountain Dews a day. I’m on like a sugar high at all times, pretty much.”

“When she sees me with my Mountain Dew, eating chips and a donut at 4 in the morning, she’s like, ‘Wow. Wait until you’re 30.’”

Could Appleby’s influence produce some unexpected diet changes in Roberston this season?

Anne Hathaway plays the White Queen in the upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie directed by Tim Burton.

While Anne was studying the role and getting into character, she  came to the conclusion that the White Queen was a total vegan punk.

“When I was trying to work her out, I kept saying to myself, ‘She is a punk-rock, vegan pacifist.’ So I listened to a lot of Blondie, I watched a lot of Greta Garbo movies, and I looked at a lot of the artwork of Dan Flavin. Then a little bit of Norma Desmond got thrown in there, too. And she just kind of emerged. And I really like her. When I first came on board the project, Tim talked a lot about the relationship between the sisters, and that really opened the character up to me a lot. She comes from the same gene pool as the Red Queen. She really likes the dark side, but she’s so scared of going too far into it that she’s made everything appear very light and happy. But she’s living in that place out of fear that she won’t be able to control herself. There’s a lot to play around in. It was awesome. I had so much fun.”

Since Anne is known to flex in her diet, it was probably no issue for her to snack on nuts and salad while eating like the White Queen peacemaker.

Alice In Wonderland is scheduled for release in March.

Remember the days of Boy Meets World, when lovesick nerdy Cory Matthews chased after the hippie vegetarian Topanga played by Danielle Fishel?

Topanga grew up and went to law school…and the show gradually came to an end.

If you haven’t seen much of Danielle since 90s, don’t worry–Black Book Mag has suggestions for how the busty actress can make a comeback.

“What about the story of a butcher whose Chinatown meat market is actually a front for a brothel? Each episode title will be a play on this —“Rump Roast,” “Grade A Beef”—with Fishel as the silk-robe-wearing, chain-smoking den mother who’s seen it all before.”

If all the brothel is serving is rump roast and beef, customers might have a hard time getting hard, given all the saturated fat and cholesterol in animal flesh that clogs the arteries, blocking blood flow to every part of the body.

How about an organic, recycled cotton robe wearing, seitan eating Fishel making otherwise banned sexy veggie videos instead?

Will Gwyneth Paltrow‘s website on health, food and travel, Goop.com, finally get the veggie turnover it needs?

Rumor has it that Paul McCartney has written a column for the actress about his Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Just hope it doesn’t appear before Gwyneth’s recipes for turkey burgers.

“My family and I launched Meat Free Monday in the UK, an idea which has been gaining support from people like Tom Parker-Bowles who, after a lifetime of denigrating vegetarians, recently wrote in his Daily Mail column, “I wince at the memory of my boorish antics” and who pronounced himself “intrigued” by MFM: “There’s no doubting the plain common sense of the message…Meat Free Monday is something to really savour”. Another supporter is Al Gore who stated that initiatives like Meat Free Monday “represent a responsible and welcome component of a comprehensive strategy for reducing global warming pollution and simultaneously improving human health.”

“It’s amazingly easy to take one day in your week, Monday or any other day, and not eat meat. When you think about it, there are so many great alternatives, for instance, in Italian cooking, so many of the dishes are vegetarian already and Thai and Chinese cuisine are the same. All it means is that you have to think a bit about what you’ll eat that day but, in actual fact, far from being a chore, it’s a fun challenge.”

So you already know, actress, great vegan cookbook author and eco goddess Alicia Silverstone loves gardening in the nude.

But did you know another veggie, Kristen Bell, likes to do her work in the buff as well?

Kristen has confessed to being “free-spirited” and makes breakfast nude.

Her latest film, When In Rome, features Kristen playing a woman visiting her sister in Rome, who suddenly draws the attention of several suitors.

Ironically, one of them is a billionaire sausage maker, played by Danny Devito.

Vegetarian celebrities have been known to introduce fellow cast and crew members on a film set to the wonderful world of meatless.

Bet if Kristen cooked fake sausages in the nude, every male on When In Rome would give up steak instantly.
