Wow! Several big celebrities were spotted eating at vegan friendly A Voltre Sante restaurant recently, including David Duchovny, Matthew McConaughey, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Rumor has it David used to be a vegan and his now separated from wife Tea Leoni was too. But we’re quite surprised and pleased to learn Matthew and the Olsen twins made their way there as well.

Now, vegan friendly doesn’t mean completely vegan. But to hear the spokesperson for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the most infamous fur wearing twins at least stopping by to dine with the granola lovin’ seitan worshippers is a breath of fresh air.

When we heard Sarah Silverman left the meatballs off her spaghetti, we cheered even though we didn’t think she was a vegetarian.

Now, some gossip has come in that Sarah has said she doesn’t eat meat and was instructing others how to heat up veggie meatballs.

A reader named Anon left us this tip:

“Sarah’s a vegetarian. She was on cam (on her twitter account) with her friend Steve Agee and confirmed she doesn’t eat meat.”

“Oh, this was while giving a cooking demonstration on how to heat veggie meatballs your mum makes for you, in the microwave.”

She must be rubbing her good food karma on Jimmy Kimmel (we think they’re together, you never know), seeing as he’s been totally putting down pork and other meat eating on his show recently.

We searched Sarah’s Twitter and found some mentioning of Steve Agee and a video channel, but haven’t found the broadcast yet, so we’ll treat this as gossip.

But we’ve got a feeling the news is coming out soon!

Maxim recently unveiled its Hot 100 List and a vegan lady is numero uno!

Olivia Wilde, star on Fox’s House, tops the charts and beat out other meat eating woman like Megan Fox, Eliza Dushku, and Rhihanna.

Olivia made Maxim’s 100 Hottest women in 2008-but barely hanging on the ladder at #97.

We suspect her sudden rise to the top has something to do with her veganness. Really, we heard plant based foods do wonders for the hair and skin.

Olivia had been “mostly vegetarian” with the exception of a plateful of flipper here and there. Then, earlier this year, she made the announcement on Ellen DeGeneres she’d transitioned into a complete vegan.

Light years away from her past party life, Nicole Richie is living cleaner and healthier than ever.

She insists one-year old daughter Harlow and partner Joel Madden only consume organic fruits and vegetables. When she prepares meals for her family, it usually consists of lots of salads and vegetable stir fries.

Not surprising, considering Joel is vegetarian.

With Nicole’s new love of all things organic and veggie (she’s even growing her own organic, vegetable garden in the backyard of her home in Hollywood), and a man who doesn’t touch meat, will Nicole finally give in and go veg altogether? It surely would make things more convenient and healthier for the whole fam.

And there’s no better way to bring in expectant baby #2 in than starting it off with a plant based diet.

Best of luck to Nicole and her healthier adventures!

Although Ginnifer Goodwin used to be a cheeseburger lover, she doesn’t crave those anymore. But that doesn’t mean cares if someone else does. From the editor’s blog at W magazine:

“So many people say to me, ‘I tried, and it was too hard,’ or ‘I had to cheat,’ and I always think, ‘Then it’s not right for you,'” Ginnifer said.

“You shouldn’t have to try. For me there’s no “try” involved. There’s nothing I want less than a piece of cheese or a burger. I have nightmares I’m being force-fed these things. I have no interest in converting anyone. It’s purely how I want to live my life. I don’t judge anyone.”

Ginnifer took some flack for posing in leather and silk for the W magazine shoot, which her cousin and Humane Society of the United States coordinator, JP Goodwin, explained to readers in the comments section on a post at supervegan.com.

What do you guys think of judgemental vegans? Should people make more effort to educate and change the diet of others. Or will this only turn people away?

We all remember that pivotal point in our lives when we turned vegetarian or vegan. Whether it was one last Thanksgiving meal or getting sick from a bad cheesy dish or watching a documentary on animal cruelty, the decision to go veg is often as memorable as first jobs or wedding dates.

Big Love and He’s Just Not That Into You actress Ginnifer Goodwin explained to W magazine’s editor what her defining moment for veganism was.

“We were filming the road trip episode of this season’s Big Love and we were staying in a hotel. I was doing a lot–and I mean a lot—of yoga at the time, and I’ve heard it’s not uncommon for something like this to happen when you are in a stage like that. Anyway, I was having my morning coffee, and I was pouring milk into it, and all I can say is that I suddenly realized what it was that I was pouring into my coffee. I was so disgusted, because I had never actually stopped to think about what milk is. And dairy had always been my favorite food group! I thought, ‘Surely this feeling will pass,’ but at lunchtime I was still disgusted. Over the next few days, I started really thinking about what I was eating.”

Can you remember the exact event that served as the catalyst for you go to go veg?

Pokerstars.net and the Hollywood office of the Humane Society of the United States recently got together for an evening of gambling, vegan snacks, and fun.

Actress Jorja Fox looked lovelier than ever as she played her chips and cards and fellow veggie actress Shannon Elizabeth was also dealing a sharp hand to help the animals. 

Proceeds from the “Casino Royale: Playing for Change” event went towards implementing the Los Angeles HSUS’s End Dogfighting program, which educates high risk youth about caring for pit bulls versus putting them up for dogfighting. The program has already proven successful in other large cities like Chicago.

This past weekend’s event included blackjack, roulette, craps and poker, a martini and wine bar, gourmet vegan food catered by Madeleine Bistro, a silent auction, and a celebrity poker tournament.

Wonder if vegan poker great Daniel Negreanu made an appearance?

Read more about the event on the Humane Society’s blog at hsus.org and look at  more pics from the evening on their Flickr page.
