Vegetarian Star

The fifth annual Taking Action for Animals conference is taking place this month from the 24th-27 in Arlington, Virginia.

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin and Nellie McKay are among the guest speakers, along with notable animal advocates like CEO and president of the Humane Society of the United States, Wayne Pacelle.

This is definitely worth a road trip for animals lovers as registration for the conference is only $165, with options to attend one or two specific workshops, as well as an exhibit pass.

Issues such as factory farming, dog fighting, effective campaigning, and lobbying are just some of the workshops that will offered.

Not to mention, there’s a banquet too-good food always make an event better!

Treehugger.com has compiled their list of celebrities with the best green homes and two vegetarian stars, Daryl Hannah and Ed Begley Jr. are on the list.

If you have the privilege of visiting Daryl, you might chill on her moss covered stone that doubles as a couch in her almost entirely solar powered home.

And if you think Daryl’s moss couch is wild, Ed Begley Jr. gets really crazy with a white picket fence made from recycled milk jugs!

Have lunch with Ed with food cooked from his solar powered oven which sits outdoors and be sure to check out his rain water barrels while (hopefully) someone else is doing the cooking.

Golden Girl Betty White recently expressed her disapproval with the animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

“They play dirty,” she said in an interview with Canada.com. “They not only give misinformation but disinformation . . . . They won’t listen, and it infuriates me. I’m sure they love animals but they should find out the facts.”

However, Betty has worked with the organization in the past, starring in an anti-fur public service announcement with her fellow Golden Girls.

Betty works with the Morris Animal Foundation, which  funds “humane” studies dealing with the health problems of dogs, cats, horses, zoo animals and wild life. She’s also worked with the Los Angeles zoo for the past 41 years.

“Health and welfare, that’s all I’m interested in,” she explained and cautioned against being labeled an animal rights activist.

She’s not the first celebrity to work with PETA and criticize them later.

Vegan UFC champ Mac Danzig did a vegetarian PSA for the group, but later said that while believed in animal rights, “the way they go about their business is junior high most time.”

Actress Farrah Fawcett succumbed to cancer on the same day Michael Jackson passed.

One restaurant owner who’s place Farrah frequented claims she always ordered the vegetarian dish.

Antonietta Terrigno, owner of Osteria de Medici in Kensington, Alberta in Canada was reflecting on the actress and said, “She was a vegetarian so she had the Pasta Primavera. She was with a friend and they were very friendly.”

This was back in 2006. Was Farrah a vegetarian who kept quiet about her diet and lifestyle? Or did she embrace the diet later in life?

Our thoughts go out to her family, friends, and fans.

The current recipe entry in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop newsletter features a vegan B.L.T., or BLAT (Bacon Lettuce Avocado and Tomato) complete with her favorite mayonnaise substitute, Vegenaise.

Gwyneth says it best in the introduction to the recipe:

“This MAKE is for my no-dairy, no-meat, no-white flour (if you omit the croutons) loving friends who are looking for a quick, casual summer lunch. Proof that vegan food rocks!”

Yes, girlfriend, this sandwich does rock, and there’s a beautiful food porn picture of the stacked vegan goodness at Goop.com.

Gwyneth compliments that BLAT entry with un-Caesar salad-Caesar salad minus egg yolks and anchovies-and homemade rosemary and thyme croutons.

It’s all washed down with agave sweetened lemonade.

The best thing about veggie bacon is that it’s missing all the fatty sections that regular bacon has in it, so you get more “meat” in your bite. A good brand to check out is Lightlife Smart Bacon.

There’s nothing worse than cruising in your ship in the ocean, hair blowing in the wind and trying to impress the eco ladies, when you get pulled over by the PoPo…For a ridiculous 30 year warrant!

Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson and Whale Wars star was arrested in Portugal while attending the International Whaling Commission (IWC) Conference for a 1980 ramming by the Sea Shepherd of the pirate whaling ship the Sierra.

However, since the warrant actually expired in 2008, Watson was released shortly.

Also recently, vegetarian actress Daryl Hannah, who joined the Whale Wars crew this season, was also arrested, but it had nothing to do with whales.

She and 31 people, including NASA climate scientist James Hansen and former U.S. Rep. Ken Hechler, were arrested during a display of civil disobedience at a mountaintop removal protest in West Virginia.

The video above shows Hannah in the action.

Kristen Stewart will portray veggie singer and musician Joan Jett in the upcoming film, The Runaways, which portrays Joan’s life and the 70s band she fronted.

And you thought the dark mullet was just a fashion change for the actress who’ll be starring in New Moon, the sequel to Twilight this fall.

Looks like Kristen will be playing a vegetarian again.

Although technically Joan became a vegetarian after the Runaways, she’s been quite active with promoting the lifestyle, whether it’s recording PSAs, visiting farm sanctuaries, or casually mentioning her diet in interviews.

In Twilight, Kristen played vegetarian Bella, the love interest of vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen, who was seen enjoying Garden Burgers with her dad at the local diner in Forks, Washington. She even once told  him he should try one sometime instead of his usual steak.

Coincidence? A “Twilight” moment?
