Vegetarian Star

Dita Von Teese was spotted having lunch at Tobey Maguire’s favorite vegan restaurant, Real Food Daily.

We have to give the burlesque beauty entertainer both a thumbs up and thumbs down.

Von Teese worked with PETA in a campaign to encourage pet owners to spay and neuter their animals and was also set to star in a Beauty Without Cruelty campaign in cooporation with Chanel, to show how animal cruelty was unnecessary in the cosmetic industry.

But she has a collection of vintage furs she’s not ashamed to discuss.

“PETA’s totally aware of me,” she once told PEOPLE. “I’m not working with PETA to tell people to be vegetarians or to stop wearing fur. I am there to strictly speak about spaying and neutering your pets.”

PETA had responded by saying, “She said she has some vintage furs she wears occasionally. PETA often works with a celebrity on an issue they feel comfortable supporting, whether it’s supporting spaying and neutering, or speaking out against products that are tested on animals. So they may not be an animal rights activist, but their contribution to any of our campaigns is appreciated.” 

Could her recent visit to a vegan restaurant mean she’s leaning towards vegetarianism and will feel comfortable supporting this issue in the future?

If so, this beauty could make a nude, pro-vegetarian ad that would make a habitual steak eater try tempeh.

Jenny McCarthy recently did an interview with Michigan Avenue Magazine where she revealed she’s gaga over Botox.

“I think plastic surgery is fun if it makes you feel good. I’m all for looking better, so I plan on doing whatever I want when the time comes. I love Botox, I absolutely love it. I get it minimally, so I can still move my face. But I really do think it’s a savior.”

While plastic surgery is one thing, we’re sending a big boo to Jenny for proclaiming her love for Botox.

Botox isn’t just any cosmetic. It was tested on animals before it was approved and hit the market. But it’s still being tested on animals. Every box.

Because Botox is a toxin, every batch must be tested before it’s packaged and shipped. Allergan injects mice until it finds a dose at which half of the animals die, or “lethal dose 50,” and use this to gauge the potential harm to humans.

There are different opinions in the vegetarian community about the use of animals in medical research. But it’s safe to say that the use of animals for purely cosmetic purposes doesn’t win approval from any of us.

And who says it makes you look better?

David McWilliams recently made a comparison between Botox and credit and the economy in the Sunday Business Post Online.

“Botox works, but not in the way it is intended. In fact, cosmetic surgery works in the sense that you can’t take your eyes off a woman who has had a lot of “work done”.”

“But you (or at least I) don’t look at her in the way that you find her attractive, but in the sense that you find her weird.”

“Last Friday, in New York, I had one of those moments. I was introduced to a young woman and I couldn’t take my eyes off her face.”

“Her brilliant, bleached-white teeth, her perfect button nose, her sensual bud-like lips and her blemish-free skin, all had the opposite of the desired effect. She was a freak, a classically beautiful woman, but a freak nonetheless.”

“What made her freaky was not just the lack of any expression in her face but behind that very lack of expression lay a profound absence of a scintilla of interest, curiosity and love of the things that make people interesting – the blemishes, the character faults, the glitches.”

“This statuesque product of human ingenuity was not beautiful, but repellent. She was playing tricks on herself and inviting the rest of us to share in her conceit. All the Botox and fillers were making her feel like someone she was not and in so doing threw the gauntlet to other women to do likewise.”

Who doesn’t love a little Daryl Hannah?

Vegetarian, eco-friendly, and cute all in the same package, this actress was recently profiled by Supreme Master TV as one of their “Vegetarian Elite.”

Daryl made the decision to go vegetarian at only 11 years of age because she couldn’t stand to bite into animal flesh, but soon found benefits beyond her personal taste. As an environmentalist, her lifestyle made a bigger impact on the planet than she realized.

“I became a vegetarian at 11 years of age because I could no longer associate the food I was eating from the creature it had been,” she said. “And I just couldn’t gnaw on the flesh of creatures anymore. It grossed me out. The health and environmental benefits turned out to be a bonus. Often I find when I do something from a purely compassionate place, aspects I never considered seem to benefit as well, illustrating how we are truly connected to all life.”

Watch the video to learn how Daryl played on the boys’ soccer team in school, because there wasn’t one for girls!

HBO must be the TV station for veggie hotties.  

It’s home to vegan Ginnifer Goodwin’s “Big Love” as well as True Blood ,where vegetarian Anna Paquin stars as a waitress who’s got a biting taste for a vampire (unknown if he’s a vegetarian vampire) played by Stephen Moyer.

Apparently, Stephen can’t get enough blood onscreen because the two are dating in real life.

She and Ginnifer Goodwin are featured in a gallery, The Fit 5: Tips to Feel (and Look) Like a Star, with each celebrity exhibiting some characteristic that can help anyone stay fit.

It’s a no brainer that a veg diet can keep you looking good and healthy, so it’s no surprise two of our favorite veggie gals made the list.

Along with following a meatless diet, Anna is into boxing, plyometrics (exercises including bounding and jumping) and weight work. Perhaps that’s why she’s listed under the “Become a Warrior,” tip for getting in shape.

Ginnifer, who’s an example of “Lighten up your diet,” was quoted as saying, “I don’t eat animal products. So everything is working a little better.”

Browse the entire gallery at People to gain a few other tips for getting and staying fit.

Jennie Garth has an urban legend surrounding her much like Clint Eastwood did on his veganess.

The former “Beverly Hills 90210” actress and Dancing With the Stars contestant was recently interviewed by Energy Times, where she acknowledged the rumor, said she “hated eating animals,” but wasn’t a vegetarian.

“No, I’m not a true vegetarian,” she said. “I eat chicken and occasionally fish. I hate eating animals, but I have to get some protein in and the best way for me to do that would be to eat chicken or fish, although my kids eat tofu.”

“I don’t eat red meat.”

Hmm…You’d think that while she was sauteing tofu for the little ones, it’d be easy to fix herself a portion as well.

Heart disease runs rampant in the actress’ family and Jennie herself suffers from a leaky heart valve. While shunning red meat certainly helps her manage risk factors for heart troubles, there are numerous studies that show vegetarian and vegan diets prevent all sorts of diseases, including those that break the heart (physically).

Jennie is married to a “vegetarian vampire.” Her husband is Peter Facinelli, the guy who played Edward Cullen’s father, Dr. Carlisle Cullen, in the vampire movie Twilight. 

Wishing Jennie the best in managing her and her family’s health and hoping she has a tofu nugget or two to the replace the chicken ones she usually eats.

Madonna the Material Girl threw an Oscar party recently where the theme appeared to be “Slumdog Millionaire,” according to the UK Daily Mail.

Since we know what a stickler Madonna is about veg food, of course there was plenty to go around.

Cameron Diaz was spotted soaking up the vegetarian curry and naan bread like a fish (or sea kitten) to water.

In addition to the curry and naan, Madge provided plenty of traditional Indian food at the bash where Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was the DJ and MC.

Cameron was once a vegetarian, but apparently was such a McDonald’s fanatic, she gave it up.

Aw, shucks! That McCurry and McNaan happy meal flatters her so much better.

Besides donning her lovely vegan shoes and ethical jewelry at the Academy Awards recently, vegan Natalie Portman also took a stab at a meat processing plant. 

She and Ben Stiller presented an award together, and Ben decided to imitate the recent makeover, or shall we say unmakeover, of vegan Joaquin Phoenix, sporting a long scruffy beard and matching unkempt hairdo, complete with weirdo behavior.

Portman said, “You look like you work in a Hasidic meth lab.”

Many are speculating Portman was referring to a 2008 federal raid on a Hasidic-owned and operated Agriprocessors meat processing plant in Postville, Iowa.

Authorities discovered several infractions, including equipment for producing methamphetamines.

This is the same plant at which PETA secretly recorded a video on its controversial slaughter practices. 

Other allegations included rabbis insulting workers while throwing meat at them, undocumented and illegal workers, and various health and safety issues.
