Vegetarian Star

There’s nothing worse than when a former vegetarian celebrity goes public and disses the lifestyle. Many of you were ready to rip the burger from Julia Stiles‘ mouth when she used the word orgasm to describe eating meat again after being vegan.

She wants you to know she’s sorry.

“I regret going on a talk show and talking about it,” Julia said. “I was young and impressionable and trying to be funny.”

Sure, Julia, blame it on youth.

Here’s more of what Julia had to say on vegetarianism from EcoStiletto:

On her present vegetarian status:
If I go to someone’s house I won’t make a stink, but I don’t choose to eat that much meat. I love fish, though. That’s probably bad, too. But you have to eat something, right?

On why she went vegan:
Not so much animal rights, but for health reasons. I just started reading more about factory farming and I didn’t want to be consuming that. And there are some spiritual reasons that I got into it, too. It’s weird to talk about, it’s a personal thing, but also I didn’t like the taste of meat that much. And I was grossed out by hormones in dairy products.

I’d never want to be preachy because I think what people choose to eat is their own personal decision. But I was saddened by the idea of the cows in diary pens and what they’re forced to eat—corn that they weren’t ever meant to digest. But there are ways to be super unhealthy as a vegan—all that processed food.

If you’ve already signed up for the 21 Day Vegan Kickstart Program with the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, you know you’ll be getting tips from the great cookbook author Alicia Silverstone.

When the three week initiation period has ended, why not continue with Alicia’s advice by grabbing a copy of The Kind Diet cookbook?

Extra has provided a few recipes you might start off with, but be warned: Tofu Not A Turkey may not be the first one to try if you stuffed yourself with bird, faux or real, for the entire holiday season.

Apple Crumble on the other hand…

Who doesn’t get into vegan desserts!

Kerry Washington really kissed up to the New York Post when she told them her favorite city was the one that never slept.

Her dog, Josie B, a Yorkie-shih tzu mix, agrees.

“She likes the cooler weather and the change in seasons,” Kerry said.

Kerry named some of her favorite spots to hit in NYC and unfortunately, one of those spots isn’t one you’ll want to visit to get a glimpse of the actress.

“I eat a lot of vegetarian foods, but if I’m in the mood for a great steak, they have the best.,” Kerry said of Quality Meats on W. 58th Street. “It’s a wonderful modern steakhouse, a mix of traditional items and new sides, like edamame and English peas. Their salads are incredible, too.”

Awesome that Kerry eats lots of plant based meals and digs edamame. And it’s cool that Quality Meats serves food that a veg can enjoy when dining with mixed meal company.

But if Kerry eats vegetarian so often, you’d think it’d be easy for her to substitute faux meat when she’s in the mood for a “great steak.”

Somebody tell Kerry to expand her list of NY hot spots–and take a trip to Angelica Kitchen, Candle 79 or Dirt Candy.

Who knows?

Maybe Josie B. will take a liking to seitan.

Interview Magazine has named its pick for the 20 most beautiful people of the decade.

It was no doubt a tough decision, requiring committees of scientists, academics, legal experts and laypersons, but somehow Interview came to the conclusion that Natalie Portman is worthy of the title.

The Veg Star couldn’t agree more!

From Interviewmagazine.com:

“We’ve had her on our radar since she was the 12-year-old Lolita of The Professional. And somehow, her beauty has grown and grown over the past decade. Now 28, she’s won a Golden Globe, earned a psychology degree from Harvard, devoted her free time to social and political activism, and looked better than Demi with a shaved head. She’s even a vegan. Enough, really.”

Being vegan is great for your health, the planet and the animals, but can it really make you sexier?

Both Alanis Morissette and Woody Harrelson credit cutting dairy for making their skin smooth and Alicia Silverstone‘s beauty regime includes eating kale and swiss chard as much as daily moisturizing.

This New Year’s might be a great time to make the resolution to give veg a try.

Good luck on making People’s 50 Most Beautiful.

Two famous vegs really want to change the way government is ran.

Okay, so one is already in politics and the other is just a wannabe.

If Dennis Kucinich had his way, everyone would be forced to eat vegan brownies.

Pamela Anderson would be a little less militant, just calling for a Be A Veggie For A Day campaign and letting her constituents choose which plant based items to eat.

Hmm…bet most people would choose to eat brownies but…who would you rather do…

Kate Hudson recently spent the day with dear ol’ mom Goldie Hawn in Aspen, Colorado.

Is this like mother, like daughter, keeping fur in the family?

Goldie looks pretty fake, but Hudson…not so sure.

You would think that after spending the evening at compassionate vegetarian designer Stella McCartney‘s store for New York’s Fashion Night Out, Hudson would have learned a thing or two.

If Kate’s fur coat is real, she’d be locked out from Night Out if Stella had anything to do with it.

What do you think?

Is Kate fur real?

Or is she faking it?

(And will A-Rod ever come back to her?)

Alyson Hannigan was a guest on Gordon Ramsay‘s Cookalong Live show where she, LeAnn Rimes, Cedric the Entertainer and Ramsay made some really ugly steak.

But steak’s not cute, so Alyson will eat it.

“I don’t eat cute things,” Alyson says, when Ramsay asks her about vegetarianism around minute 4:18 in the video. “I’m a cute-a-tarian…Anything I want as a pet, I won’t eat it.”

Does Alyson even remember where steak comes from? Who wouldn’t want an adorable cow as an animal companion…as long as the landlord’s pet deposit wasn’t too high.

The How I Met Your Mother actress was a vegan before getting pregnant and experiencing strong cravings for meat.
