Chiarello whipped up a Quinoa Spaghetti with Salsa Verde, Gremolata and Tomatoes.

Here’s a video of Chef Chiarello doing his thing.

If you’re interested in making the pasta dish yourself at home, here’s the recipe.

Ginnifer Goodwin Speaks At The Humane Society Of The United States Rally

“First let me say that two of my four parents have actually gone vegan, which I think is shocking and out of character for traditional southern parents. But they saw the impact it had on my life and it just sort of happened.”

“For the most part I only talk about veganism when I’m invited to because I believe that it’s such a strong personal choice. I feel like it’s more effective to introduce people to this lifestyle when they can set the pace about what they want to learn. So I wait until people ask me questions.”

Brooke Hogan Needed Waterproof Mascara After Watching Fur Video

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 in Actresses, Female Singers, Fur, TV Hosts.

Ali & Cody Lohan Announce The Blackberry Brick Breaker Contest

Brooke Hogan is following Tila Tequila’s lead and blogging about the horrors of fur on Globalgrind.com.

Brooke has Russell Simmons to thank for directing her to a video and opening her eyes about fur factory farms.

Now she’s hoping others will see the truth as well.

“Last week Russell Simmons made me cry. Sounds juicy, I know but sorry, there is no real scandal to tell. But there is a story – so here it is. As most of you know Russell is an animal rights activist. He truly cares about animals and tries to spread the animal rights message to everyone.”

“I love animals, I was raised with animals and respect them. I was speechless when I saw this and it affected me deeply. I know that there are much more fashionable and compassionate ways to stay warm in the winter so I’m pleading with you to watch the video below and join me in the fight. Animals feel pain and suffer exactly the same way as you or I do. They weren’t put on this planet so that we could do whatever we wanted to them and not be held accountable.”

“Join me and vow to NEVER buy fur…not even fur gloves or fur on your collars. Fur equals pain and suffering. Period. And for my girls out there, if you watch this video you WILL cry so make sure you have your waterproof mascara on first. Its a killer. Literally.”

Jenna Jameson Says Nothing Happy About McDonald’s Happy Meals

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, August 3rd, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Centers 24th Annual Sports Spectacular

Film star Jenna Jameson has just finished shooting an ad for PETA, slamming McDonald’s for the way it treats and kills chickens.

The 30 second clip will debut sometime in the fall, but here’s a sneak preview of how Jenna educates the public as part of PETA’s McCruelty campaign.

“If you ask chickens, there’s no such thing as a ‘Happy Meal.’ Chickens killed for McNuggets are dumped onto conveyer belts. Their fragile legs are slammed into metal shackles. … Spinning blades meant to cut their throats often tear through their wings or bodies instead. Many birds survive this terrifying, painful process, only to be scalded to death in defeathering tanks. There’s a less cruel method of slaughter that renders chickens unconscious, but McDonald’s chooses to allow birds to be mutilated and scalded instead.”

The actress has worked with the animal rights group in the past, posing for an ad advocating spaying and neutering pets.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, July 31st, 2009 in Actresses, Film & TV.

Terminator Salvation Japan Premiere

A vegetarian will play a vampire in the third installment of the Twilight series, Eclipse, but not one of the “vegetarian” vampires.

Bryce Dallas Howard has been cast as Victoria (previously played by Rachelle Lefevre), a mean-spirited vampire who’s out to get Bella.

Howard was inspired to go vegan by Joaquin Phoenix, but went back to vegetarian during her pregnancy.

Eclipse is scheduled to begin filming in August.

The Twilight films are based on a novel series by author Stephenie Meyer, and feature the Cullen family, a clan of “vegetarian” vampires who feast on animals instead of people.

One of the main characters and love interest of vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen, Bella (Kristen Stewart), is a real vegetarian who likes Gardenburgers.

Roseanne Barr Hates Vegans Too

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, July 31st, 2009 in Actresses, Comedians, Not So Vegetarian.

Comedian Roseanne Barr in Dublin to do a stand up gig in The Tripod, Ireland

“Vegans are all coke-sniffing, cigarette-smoking faux socialists who listen to music that has no melody at all, so f*ck them.”
—Roseanne Barr, in an interview with Heeb magazine.

As if the comment from Christy Turlington wasn’t enough. This must be the week for veg hatin’.

We’re hurt, rejected, and disappointed.

Please excuse us while we go listen to some crappy melodic-less music to feel better.
