Pamela Anderson Doesn’t Want A Man Like Dear Old Dad

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, February 16th, 2009 in Actresses.

Strutting her stuff in a tiny black jumpsuit, Pamela Anderson leaves a Lucques restaurant

When former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson was a young girl, she watched her father cut off the head of an animal he had hunted. That led to her becoming vegetarian in her early teens.

The old saying is that a woman wants a man just like dear ol’ dad, but apparently this can never be the case when it comes to beliefs about animals.

There was speculation that her and Kid Rock divorced over him having no problem hunting. We already know he has no problem with fur.

Neither Tommy Lee, nor Rick Salomon, nor Kid Rock have captured her heart permanently.

Pam was seen strutting around town with this unnamed gentleman recently. Could he be Pammie’s new compassionate love?

Alexandra Aitken Not Alienating People With Yoga, Veganism

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, February 16th, 2009 in Actresses, Business.

Although she makes an appearance as the Nightclub girl in her most recent movie, How To Lose Friends and Alienate People, Alexandra Aitken doesn’t have a lot of party gal inside her.

‘I don’t smoke, I don’t drink and I’m vegan,’ she said, according to the UK Daily Mail. ”I meditate for hours every day. It’s given me much more energy.”

Meditation is more than a personal hobby, but a business of hers as well. She’s a yoga teacher, offering classes in Kundalini yoga and Gong Healing-a technique that uses sounds and vibrations to help you relax.

Nothing about a gong or being vibrated sounds relaxing, but we trust Alexandra and thousands of others who rely on the practice.

After completing seven months of intensive training at a California retreat, Alexandra decided to open up shop on her own.

Kareena Kapoor Sexiest, But Why Do People Care?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, February 15th, 2009 in Actresses, Bollywood.

People sometimes harp that the PETA ads for vegetarianism have little to do with eating vegetables and more with objectifying woman. Now one their “Sexiest” is even questioning the point of the contests.

“I fail to understand who makes these lists?” Kapoor said after receiving the India Today Woman Award presented by Erin Brockovich. Yes, THE Erin Brockovich, the real life busty and brainy woman who Julia Roberts played in the 2000 movie based on the real story of how an everyday gal exposed a company for their anti-environmental practices.

“Instead of featuring on these lists, I would rather receive awards such as the India Today Woman Award,” Kareena added.

Kapoor was a winner in the arts category, who said this of her achievements.

“I believe in inner strength-that’s why I was able to reach where I am. There may be competition and negativity but if you have an inner belief you can reach your goals and fulfil your dreams.”

Ellen And Portia To Receive Wyler Award By Humane Society

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 13th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, TV Hosts.

35th Annual People's Choice Awards - Backstage

Quite possibly Hollywood’s newest vegan couple, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will be honored for their efforts to improve care for animals at the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards next month.

The Wyler Award, named after the late Genesis Award founder, Gretchen Wyler, is given to celebrities or other public figures who have made the most noise in standing up for the better treatment of animals.

Looks like they’ve made the right choice. Where do we start?

Portia and Ellen both became vegans this year, saying no to every animal product, whether flesh or a byproduct. They both were active in getting the word out on Prop 2, the measure which passed in California to allow certain farm animals to move around freely.

They even share their lifestyle with people who are fortunate enough to be in their presence. The wedding reception menu was completely vegan. Ellen has given out vegan items quite a few times on her television show.

Wow. That’s a lot of hard work, guys. Have a cold one on us. You deserve it!

Gossip Girl Dreama Walker Doing 30 Days Of Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 13th, 2009 in Actresses.

Henri Bendel & YSL Beaute Celebrate

Serena and Blair may jokingly put down vegetarian food, but Gossip Girl Dreama Walker, who plays Hazel Williams on the show, is now worshiping seitan.

Walker has embarked on a 30 day vegan adventure, motivated partly by her watching the Joaquin Phoenix narrated documentary Earthlings.

So far, Dreama’s enjoying it and says she will probably continue, but does what to experiment to see how her body will react to eating dairy again.

Sounds like Dreama should also pay Rob Sedgwick a visit. She absolutely loves vegan ice cream!

“Its uncanny how much the soy ice cream tastes like real ice cream!!” she exclaimed during her interview with Ecorazzi.

“But, I’m really fascinated by the Tofurky Italian Sausages, and genuinely look forward to my chocolate soy protein shake with rice milk each morning!”

Dreama is taking the vegan thing all the way, giving up her Ugg boots (which are made of sheepskin) and becoming well read on being a Skinny Bitch, the famous vegan diet book by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin.

Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher On Worst Dressed List

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 13th, 2009 in Actors, Actresses, Fur.

59th Berlin Film Festival - 'Happy Tears' Premiere

Celebrities may have tons of money in the bank, but some of them aren’t using it to hire a good wardrobe coordinator, especially a compassionate coordinator.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher currently top the worst dressed list for PETA, in a contest that’s running through March 2nd.

“She may be a cougar, but that’s not helping fur-loving Demi Moore in the eyes of animal lovers,” PETA said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

Demi is the first fur lady, while her husband Ashton comes in second because he was spotted “skulking around Sundance last month wearing a gigantic coat made of coyote fur.”

The competition, which awards the dishonor to celebs who sport every animal in the forest, crowned Aretha Franklin as queen last year with Eva Longoria Parker, Kate Moss, and Lindsay Lohan not far behind her.

Janeane Garofalo Bacon Vegetarian

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 12th, 2009 in Actresses, Comedians, Not So Vegetarian.

An Evening With The Writers & Performers Of Saturday Night Live

Janeane Garofalo has said that although she was a vegetarian for 18 years, she now eats bacon. However, she only eats it about twice a year.

She, along with several other celebrities performed at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary’s Komedy for Karma last night and she took the time to talk to green gossip website Ecorazzi.

E:You were a vegetarian for 18 years…

JG: Right, but I’m no longer a vegetarian.

E: I read that.

JG: I’m a vegetarian except for bacon. The amount of times I eat bacon is negligible though. I’d say I eat bacon once or twice a year. But other than that — no meat at all.

We often like to rag on former vegetarian celebrities and those who “slip” but even activist Alicia Silverstone has said she’d rather have someone be almost vegetarian than a regular meat eater.

Once or twice a year baconator? Not too bad.

Of course, we’ll use this to remind Janeane of the delicious meatless bacon out there, like Lightlife’s Smart Bacon. Taste like the real thing, even meat eaters enjoy it. Try it with as a B.L.T. sometime. When you come back with your belly full of vegan bacon rambling about how you can’t wait for your next sandwich, we won’t say we told you so.

Eva Longoria Turned To A Skinny Bitch When She Got Desperate

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, February 12th, 2009 in Actresses.

Eleven Spa Vegas' Launch Party

So when you hear that someone like Eva Longoria wants to lose weight, laughter immediately occurs.

Longoria is the tiniest of tiny, but according to a source, the Desperate Housewife recently lost 10 pounds.

We’d like to think it’s because she’s reducing her meat intake, like she vowed for her New Year’s Resolution.

Eva was reportedly really into the vegan diet book, Skinny Bitch, given to her by vegan actress Lake Bell.

Eva is rumored to still eat fish, but has increased the amount of fruits and vegetables in her diet.

Hats off to Eva!

How are your New Year’s Resolutions coming along? Still going strong? Went out the door on January 3rd?
