Leslie Bibb Makes Confessions Of Tofu Chicken Dinner Winner Love

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, June 25th, 2009 in Actresses.

Fashion for Life 2009 held at the California Market Center in Los Angeles, CA

Okay, so she’s not addicted to the vegan lifestyle, but she does have addictions to one particular actress.  It’s more like confessions of a Gwyneth Paltrowaholic.

Leslie Bibb, who plays Alicia Billington, the rival to Isla Fisher’s character Rebecca Bloomwood, in Confessions of a Shopaholic, gushed over her admiration for Gwyneth Paltrow to the New York Post. Apparently, Gwyneth’s so cool, she’s a total tofu chicken winner dinner. Or something like that.

Leslie: Now it’s like, “Hey Gwyn, let’s talk about Kabbalah!” I still have a total girl crush though. That Gwyneth is a total winner, winner, chicken dinner.

PW: Ah, a Las Vegas lady!
Leslie: You know it’s from Vegas! Oh man, I’m sure Gwyneth would think I’m nuts for saying that.

PW: Well, she doesn’t eat chicken.
Leslie: [laughs] Of course, right, “I’m a vegan, I don’t get that joke.” OK, fine, you’re a winner, winner tofu chicken dinner! Better?

We know Gwyneth’s definitely not vegan. But oh, well.

We’ve never been called a winner tofu chicken dinner. It must definitely be a regional thing. Now we know how to compliment our Las Vegas fans.

Much love to you winner tofu chicken dinners.

Emily Deschanel Asks Rep. Waxman To Help Protect Great Apes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

Monte Carlo Television Festival 2009 Closing Ceremony

Author Rory Freedman said she admires Emily Deschanel, saying, “Her life is busy, her schedule’s busy but she always, always, always makes time for the animals.”

Emily is keeping up that reputation and has written to California congressman Rep. Henry Waxman urging him to cosponsor the Town-Reichart Great Ape Protection Act, which would phase out “invasive scientific research” on chimpanzees and release federally owned apes to chimpanzee sanctuaries.

The number of apes that would be released to sanctuaries is around 500.

Emily writes, “The Great Ape Protection Act is the best chance we have to ease their pain and suffering.”

“They could form bonds with other chimpanzees, bask in the sunlight, and feel the grass and the earth. That’s the least we can do for chimpanzees, our species’ closest living relatives.”

Alicia Silverstone Vegetarian Ad Targets El Paso, Texas

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 in Actresses.

After Men’s Fitness magazine named El Paso, Texas as one of the fattest cities, PETA decided to do some “target advertising” and is showing an Alicia Silverstone vegetarian PSA in a TV ad campaign in the city.

You know, the one where Alicia’s emerging from the swimming pool, au naturel.

“I’m Alicia Silverstone, and I’m a vegetarian,” Silverstone says and goes on to explain how the diet has changed her life and given her more energy.

The ad is currently airing in El Paso this week on KVIA-TV (ABC).

“The Sun City’s love affair with meat is making its residents fat — and could literally be killing them,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “If the good people of El Paso want to shed their ‘saddlebags’ and get on the road to good health, the best thing that they can do is go vegetarian.”

While El Paso is one of the fattest cities on the Men’s Fitness list, the number one spot went to Miami, Florida. Salt Lake City, Utah took the fittest.

Cloris Leachman Trades Bacon For Lots Of Salt And Dressing

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 in Actresses.

88th Annual Installation & Awards Luncheon

Cloris Leachman and Betty White were having lunch, when Cloris, a longtime vegetarian, ordered a salad, asking the waiter to hold the bacon.

Apparently Betty’s not into dressing, but Cloris put more than enough on her salad to make up for Betty and all their grandchildren combined. Cloris also likes it salty, as USA Today wrote:

Leachman not only drenches her food in dressing, she asks for extra while shaking on disturbing amounts of salt and pepper.

We know how seemingly “healthy” foods can be made unhealthy by all the creams, sauces, and extra condiments placed on them. A bottle of salad dressing and a shaker of salt are just a few ways a good for you salad can turn bad.

Sure, Cloris could have been using fat-free dressing.  But other spices like pepper, garlic, and onion can add flavor to any food without the added sodium from salt.

Cloris’ salad is reminiscent of the vegetarian who eats only cheese sandwiches with gobs of mayo.

Maybe the lady who advocates putting down the cola and drinking juice should rethink her own habits.

Cloris has done more than her share of shaking on Dancing With The Stars. She doesn’t need to shake the salt shaker so much.

Why Exotic Vegenaise Drives Gwyneth Paltrow To Blog About It

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, June 22nd, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

LA Premiere Of Valentino: The Last Emperor

Friends and family of Gwyneth Paltrow, including Coldplay hubby Chris Martin, have become concerned over Gwyneth’s new strenuous health regime.

“She is obsessive about everything associated with her body,” a source said.

“Even Madonna is concerned. Gwyneth has been studying body-cleansing in earnest. She’s read a hundred books and talked to lots of doctors and experts.”

Part of her “obsessive” routine is blogging on her website Goop about “exotic meat substitutes” like Vegenaise, the UK Daily Mail had reported.

First, Vegenaise isn’t an exotic meat substitute, it’s a vegan mayonnaise substitute. Second, what’s so darn exotic about it?

After checking out the website, our favorite, the Grapeseed oil variety, contains the following: Grapeseed Oil, filtered water, apple cider vinegar, brown rice syrup, soy protein, sea salt, lemon juice concentrate, and mustard flour.

Sounds pretty simple. No eggs. No dairy. No nine syllable preservatives you can’t pronounce. Not to mention gluten-free, kosher, and no GMOs. And zero of that cholesterol junk regular mayonnaise contains.

Soooo not that exotic. But still so good.

Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz: How About A Veg, Eco Baby!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, June 21st, 2009 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green.

Marriage Equality Rally in New York City

Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz is about to give birth any minute now!

She recently chatted with Celebrity Baby Blog on her plans to bring the child up as eco friendly as possible.

“And for me, I’ve been really lucky to get all of this yummy organic clothing, and my nursery is all organic and eco-friendly. My daughter’s just going to be really hip! My goal is to be as eco-conscious as possible: There’s so much out there for parents who want to do that. I plan to keep her eco-friendly as she gets older. I think we all sort of have to do it. I’m lucky enough to be able to do it, so we just have to drive the market toward it so it becomes more possible to make and more accessible to consumers. People will realize how much easier and better it is to be local and organic. But it’s just not available to everyone right now.”

We’d like to do a little PSA for vegetarianism and remind Ana how easy it is to be EXTREMELY eco friendly by just going veg!

She and baby would lighten their carbon footprint tremendously by taking meat off the plate. By going vegetarian, they’d help reduce the number of livestock gas emissions and free up land space to grow plant crops for humans, versus farms animals. Not to mention what a better way to bring a baby in the world and teach it about kindness than instructing it to refrain from partaking in the cruelty of killing and eating animals.

Go veg, Ana. There’s nothing ugly about that!

Sarah Silverman Makes Vegetarian Proclamation?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, June 20th, 2009 in Actresses, Comedians, Videos.

When we heard Sarah Silverman ordered spaghetti without the meatballs, we didn’t think much else of it.

The comedian isn’t listed on any other vegetarian websites and she’s never been an activist, so we figured she just liked her spaghetti sans cow.

Then, we got a tip from reader Anon, saying Sarah was indeed a vegetarian and had even made a video discussing how to cook vegetarian meatballs.

Here’s a clip Anon found with Sarah on The Larry Sanders Show. The caption reads, “All the guests except Sarah were served a six course wild game tasting menu, including Elk, Quayle, and Pheasant.”

One of the guests says they didn’t know Sarah was a vegetarian, to which Sarah replies, “I’m just not a carnivore.”

There’s always the chance Sarah is one of those fish eating vegetarians or has some other technicality that doesn’t make her one. And she didn’t specifically say, “I’m a vegetarian.”

The scene starts around minute 6:49.

What do you think? Is Sarah officially in the club?

Richie Rich Tells How Pamela Anderson Vegan Clothing Was Born

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 in Actresses, Fashion.

Pamela Anderson and Richie Rich Announce New Fashion Brand Muse

We brought you the news that Pamela Anderson and Richie Rich have collaborated to create a line of vegan clothing under the brand MUSE.

Now, we’re learning more from Rich just how the line was envisioned.

Strangely enough, it was a visit to a craft store that spawned the idea.

“A few years ago in Vegas, she had a T-shirt line, so I styled her show,” Rich told New York magazine. “She sent me to Michael’s, a craft store, in a limousine, and she was like, ‘Doll up my line!’ And I did. Glitter, pom-poms, you name it.”

Don’t know if that means the new clothing line will be “glittery” or if the experience lit a light bulb in Rich’s head that made him think, “We should work together.”

Since Pamela is a staunch vegetarian, no fur will be  used in the collection, which Rich said was hard for him.

Hopefully, working with Pamela will rub off on the designer and he’ll see cruelty-free as an easier and much kinder choice in the future.
