Vegetarian Star

Persia White co-produced the Joaquin Phoenix narrated Earthlings, a film about the use of animals by humans for food, fashion and entertainment.

Seems natural for a vegetarian gal like Persia to have such passion for a project, and Persia explained to Beauty Interviews how she joined forces with director Shaun Monson and Phoenix help create an award winning film.

“I met Shaun Monson the director and he was trying to put together Earthlings as project of passion. I was already involved in animal welfare. Getting involved in Earthlings was pretty intense because there were still a lot of things I didn’t know. To raise compassion and awareness is so necessary. The documentary is not just about animals it’s about how we treat each other as well. How we have empathy for the weak and we don’t abuse it. It exposes the truth. It is a very difficult film to get into mainstream because there are so many corporations that will hurt if their secrets revealed.”

“It was very difficult. Joaquin Phoenix is a wonderful actor, and like myself, a vegan. However, Joaquin is booked and away so much. He’s schedule was intense. But we did it. The music was donated by Moby.”

Thank goodness Moby‘s music was used versus Phoenix’s rap tracks.

“Among the “nasty” foods is white sugar (and its friend high fructose corn and syrup). Simply put, you should just consider it crack, only sliiiiightly less addictive. White sugar leeches vitamins and minerals from your blood and bones, messes with your immune system, leads to insulin resistance, and makes you feel crazy-extreme peaks and dips in blood sugar can cause nausea, headaches and fatigue, irritability, anxiety, dizziness, heart palpitations, crying and depression. And it makes us fat.”

—-Alicia Silverstone, in an interview with Planet Green, giving examples of what she calls “nasty” foods in her book, The Kind Diet.

Jenna Ushkowitz and Dianna Agron share the set of the hot new Fox television show Glee.

Wonder if they also share snacks between scenes.

Both vegetarians, sources say Dianna is a supporter of PETA and Jenna devoured Tofurky this past Thanksgiving.

Obviously both would have no problem singing for their vegetarian supper.

So between the two Glee stars, who would you rather do…

Bryce Dallas Howard is reportedly taking steps to slim down for the cameras that will be spotlighting her during the Eclipse press tour that begins June 2010.

Howard’s plan includes using a detox cleansing system and avoiding oils.

“Bryce is not looking to lose 20 pounds,” says her rep, Stephen Huvane, according to eonline.com.

“She does cleanse from time to time, but the one you describe is not at all what she has done in the past or has any plans to do,” Huvane added in regards to a stringent plan described by the source.

Regardless of how Howard will lose the undesired pounds, one thing’s for sure–she won’t be using any Taylor Lautner tactics to get there.

Howard is a vegetarian, who used to be a vegan, until pregnancy made her switch back, fearing she’d lose essential nutrients required while carrying a child.

To get his ripped abs and V hips, Lautner became a meat and sweet potato addict, even carrying baggies of the “drug” around to get his fix every few hours.

“Yeah, so I carry around a Baggie and it has meat patties in it,” Lautner told Entertainment Weekly.

“The worst is not the patties. It’s the sweet potatoes. They get raw and cold and gushy.”

Eww. The worst is having to listen to Lautner describe his carnivorous vice.

Best of luck to Howard.

Bet fans can’t wait to see her on the Eclipse tour next year!

“One of my favorite things to do is to pick a food, like kale, and get some fresh from the farmers’ market, then look up different recipes with it as an ingredient, make all those recipes, and decide which is best.”

—Kristen Bell, in an Q & A session from the January 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times.

What’s your favorite food to grab fresh from the farmer’s market?

Catherine Zeta Jones stepped into the chilly New York weather arming herself with a long fur coat.

Catherine will be starring in the upcoming Trevor Nunn production of A Little Night Of Music.

A Little Night Of Music is great, but a little fur trim is horrible.

If that’s a real fur Catherine’s wearing, it’s more than a trim, but The Mask of Zorro actress surely knows anyone voted one of the most beautiful people will land on the ugliest list for wearing a hide that’s not hers.

Is Catherine making a bad fashion statement by wearing a cruel real fur coat?

Or is she faking it?

Wow.

Talk about heartless.

Actress Kate Beckinale has been accused of allegedly leaving her puppy dog in the car for hours while she spent her time inside the Byron Tracy Salon.

It was reported that she also left the windows up, left no water for the dog and kept him on a leash.

Hopefully, these stories aren’t true.

There a few harsher punishments you can give Fido than leaving him in a car all day in the heat, or even for a few hours.

Doggies can’t cool themselves off as easily as humans and it’s a disaster waiting happen.

Simon Cowell, who’s been caught making puppy love on more than one occasion, recorded a PSA reminding dog owners to take pups out of the car and into the cool shelter.

Think Kate needs to watch the video a few times?
