Vegetarian Star

Kristen Bell Viva Magazine

Kristen Bell is on the cover of Viva Magazine and has an online interview with the publication.

Kristen has been a vegetarian since age 11, and has toyed with veganism at some points in her life.

Growing up, she would only eat if her dog was sitting by her side.

Could that be why she couldn’t force herself to eat animals?

“[I] never liked the look, taste or smell of meat,” Kristen said. “My mom tried to disguise it but I just was not having any of it. When I discovered what vegetarianism was, I claimed to be one and my mom was very supportive.”

Kristen recognizes that going vegetarian doesn’t mean going on a cheese and mayo sandwich diet. You gotta work to eat healthy sometimes!

“A lot of vegetarians just eat bread and pasta and don’t realize that iron, zinc and magnesium need to be replaced. I take supplements but I also find that I have a very well- balanced diet.”

And this chick isn’t afraid of real food. She eats dessert three times a day!

“Yes, even after breakfast! I make chocolate-covered strawberries a lot because it’s a good halfway point. You’re getting fruit, which is great, but you’re also smothering them in chocolate.”

Women’s Day recently featured a wedding dress wrapped Anna Paquin on the cover with rumored details about her big day with True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer.

A source told the mag Anna and Stephen are living a frugal life in Venice Beach, LA that includes lots of healthy veggie food that you might expect to find in California.

“It’s all very hippie with vegan food, jogging, cycling and surfing,” the source said.

Anna is a rumored vegetarian, so hopefully the life is suiting the soon to be bride well.

Wonder if she almost lost her veggie lunch after taking a whiff of the meat tree on the True Blood set?

Alicia Silverstone was a guest speaker at the 2009 Boston Book Festival.

As expected, Alicia discussed her debut diet and cookbook, The Kind Diet.

Some might wonder how a vegan diet might change their life.

Alicia had a lot to say about what being vegan “doesn’t” do for you.

“You don’t wake up exhausted. And you don’t need coffee to get through the day. And you don’t keep getting sick and needing anti-biotics. And after a meal, you don’t feel like you needs Tums…”

“They’re a great group of people who are super passionate about animal welfare. From inhumane transportation to factory farming, there are many important issues people need to be educated about. I don’t understand why an animal’s spirit – its life – is so undervalued. There are other ways to do things.”

—-Abbie Cornish, on Voiceless: The Animal Protection Institute, an Australian animal welfare group that operates by networking with individuals in the community, conducting research and educating the public.

Abbie said she’s “passionate about animal welfare,” and has been a vegetarian since age 13.

Still enjoying the leftovers from Thanksgiving?

Glee star Jenna Ushkowitz more than likely enjoyed a Tofurky loaf she told JustJared.com her mom planned to make.

Besides making homemade stuffing, Jenna said her family usually goes to Disney World and eats at the Grand Floridian.

Maybe she’ll pick up some of Minnie Mouse’s antibiotic and hormone free eggs.

As far as making the vegetarian switch, Jenna said, “I’d always wanted to do it. I am trying to have a smaller carbon footprint.”

It’s a small footprint after all. It’s a small footprint after all.

If you’ve taken the Tofurky from the freezer this morning to thaw, you’re in good company with Kristen Bell.

The actress says she loves the faux bird dinner that comes with cranberry apple dumplings, mushroom gravy, wild rice and whole wheat bread stuffing and “wishstix.”

“Tofurkey?… “It’s a faux turkey that my parents always made for me because I’ve always been a vegetarian. It’s great, you should try it!”

Of course, Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t have to be an imitation of what millions of other Americans are eating.

Remember your college days of eating pizza in the dorm when you didn’t go home for the holidays?

Are you preparing a traditional faux bird Thanksgiving dinner today?

Joanna Krupa for PETA

A little bit of nakedness here and there never hurt anyone and certainly gets your attention for a good cause.

Dancing with the Stars competitor Joanna Krupa strips down to her wings to urge you to always adopt from a shelter.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, out of the 6-8 million dogs and cats who arrive at animal shelters every year, only 3-4 million of those are adopted.

You may not look as great in wings or on the dance floor as Joanna, but if you open your home to the animals in shelters waiting to be adopted, you’ll never be voted off the competition.
