Glee Cheerleaders Exclusive Performance at Foxs Upfront Presentation

Lisa Edelstein has told us all about her vegan shoe problem in the past.

Although she sometimes wears leather shoes, the House actress and vegetarian says she tries to support vegan companies whenever possible.

“There are some wonderful emerging companies that have great vegan shoes and bags and I try to support them as much as possible.”

Edelstein, along with other celebrities like Jimmy Fallon, Laura Wright, and John Henson share their secrets for being green on Mother Nature Network.

I’m the crazy person that for the last 20 years has brought my own bags to the grocery store,” Edelstein said. “I use environmentally friendly cleaning supplies in my house, I use biodegradable doggie bags and I drive a hybrid. I do what I can. If everybody does what they can it will make an enormous difference.”

If you’re looking for a vegan shoe, it might surprise you to know they’re not as scarce as some realize. Even shops like Target will usually have a few pairs containing completely man-made material.

With well known designers like Elizabeth Olsen to a pocketbook and environmentally friendly Zoe and Zac brand at Payless Shoes, you’re guaranteed plenty of opportunities to have your style and ethics too.

Push Los Angeles Premiere

Twilight actress Christian Serratos recently interviewed with New York Beauty Secrets Examiner Gabrielle Long, where she revealed she prefers to keep her beauty collection cruelty-free!

“I mean, there’s still some stuff that I’m trying to like wean myself off of by finishing the bottle and calling it a day with it. Because I found out that some of my favorite stuff either tests on animals, or uses animals. Luckily, a lot of the stuff I already use won’t test on animals, so I lucked out and picked the right things. It’s convenient.”

“I like this new brand Stripped, it has this vegan mineral veil, and I love it. Everything is vegan, even their brushes. Because I don’t like to use any animal products, it’s really hard to find out what is or isn’t. It’s really easy with Stripped because all of their brushes and all their makeup and lipgloss and everything is vegan.”

Jenny Seagrove Condemns Wallaby Cull Plan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 13th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

Canine Partners Photocall

British actress Jenny Seagrove, best know for her roles in Local Hero and Judge John Deed, has condemned a plan to kill about 60 wallabies on a Scottish island and has joined forces with animal rights campaigners to save them.

The Wallabies were introduced to the island in Lock Lomond decades ago by Fiona Bryde Colquhoun, or Lady Arran.

Officials have blamed the animals for destroying native plant species on Inchconnachan, which is nicknamed “Wallaby Island,” by locals.

“It is morally indefensible to kill the wallabies of Loch Lomond,” Seagrove said.

“This is a man-made problem and the island’s managers must take responsibility to re-home these innocent animals or to manage their numbers in non-lethal ways.”

“Taking the so-called easy way out by slaughtering the wallabies is sickening and plain wrong.”

Seagrove is a patron of the vegetarian society Viva!

A spokesperson for Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park made this statement:

“As a national park, our role is to promote, conserve and enhance Scotland’s native species for the future and we are supporting Luss Estates in producing a conservation management plan for Luss Islands that will look closely at how best to manage conservation of wildlife and habitats, including the wallabies.”

No decision has been made yet on the future of the wallabies.

Alyssa Milano On Food Safety: Take Part 2

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, July 11th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Videos.

So we gave you John Salley’s PSA from the Takepart.com series where celebrities discuss the food safety issues featured in Robert Kenner’s Food Inc.

Take Part 2.

Vegetarian Alyssa Milano also has a clip where she urges consumers to practice food safety measures and “feed their minds” by becoming educated on food borne illnesses.

Of course, it’s hard to “know your food,” when it comes from dozens of different sources, starting with the animal.

“One hamburger contains meat from 50-100 cattle,” says Alyssa.

Fifty to 100 cattle? Yeah, pretty hard to learn and remember all their names. Safer to just eat a veggie burger.

Veg Gals Mary Tyler Moore, Bernadette Peters Hosting Broadway Barks

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, July 10th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

Sixth Annual Broadway Barks Adoption Event

Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters, both vegetarian women who love animals, will once again host the 11th annual Broadway Barks, a celebrity rich cat and dog adopt-a-thon benefiting New York city’s animal shelters and adoption agencies.

Twenty four-legged creatures will be up for adoption at the event this Saturday, July 11 between 3:30 and 6:30 PM at Schubert Alley in New York City.

If you think this is just another reason for celebrities to get their faces in the press, think again. This deal saves lives!

“According to recent statistics, we learned that we are making a difference,” said Mary Tyler Moore. “In 2002, the rate of euthanasia among shelter animals was at 74% of total intake. We are proud that as a result of our efforts, in 2008, the number of animals killed in NYC shelters has dropped to 39% of total intake. That means nearly 15,000 fewer animals have been euthanized in our city’s shelters compared to 2003.”

MTV TRL Presents The Cast Of DeGrassi High

If Padma Lakshmi is the burger food porn queen, and Jessica Szohr’s burger whoredom gave her an orgasm, then Cassie Steele must partake in the occasional burger orgy every now and then.

Yes, minors, click over to Disney, because this post contains too much adult content you should never be exposed to.

Actress Cassie Steele has revealed she used to be a vegetarian and then, out of the blue, she just quit.

Now the Degrassi star has 10 burgers in one day and they’re not exactly veggie.

“If I try to diet for my work, it backfires and I’ll just rebel and have like 10 hamburgers in a day. I can out eat anybody. I used to be a vegetarian, and then one day I just quit. Everyday is pizza, and chicken wings. I try not to limit myself to what I eat. Just everything in moderation, obviously. I guess moderation would be the wrong word, because I really just eat everything.”

Yes, Cassie must be using the wrong words, because daily chicken wings is not exactly our idea of “moderation.”

What gives, darling?

Vegetarianism is not about dieting. We’d never want you to feel restricted because of it. Why not replace your chicken wings with Morningstar Veggie Buffalo Wings or make your own meatless version?
