“I don’t like fur. … My mom had a [fur] jacket from the 50s …. But the concept of buying fur today doesn’t make any sense to me. I’ve seen people in fur coats, and in my wild mind, I’m hoping someone will throw red paint on them!”
—-“Medium” actress Patricia Arquette on animal issues that are important to her. She recently agreed to do the above ad for PETA promoting the spaying and neutering of pets. Throwing paint on fur wearing celebs? Kid Rock ain’t gonna like that comment!

Take It Off Baby! Cloris Leachman Strips Down To Her Lettuce

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, January 11th, 2009 in Actresses, Reality TV.

Thalians 53rd Anniversary Ball - Arrivals

Cloris “Lettuce Leaves” Leachman, the 52 year old vegetarian actress and Dancing With The Stars Contestant, really gets into her greens.

Like Alyssa Milano, Cloris stripped bare-only to cover back up again with a blended red cabbage, beet, and iceberg lettuce dress for the “Let Vegetarianism Grow on You” campaign.

And she gets to drink a margarita while doing so!

“It feels comfortable and fits me too,” she told Access Hollywood. “You realize you feel wonderful…fresh, new, healthy. And you didn’t have to kill any animals to feel this way.”

She said that once you find out about something, you want to tell everyone about it. She feels people still “don’t know” the benefits of vegetarianism and they’re encouraged to eat meat by the meat industries and advertising.

Cloris has two strip shows, so be sure to watch Video 1 and Video 2.

Lisa Bonet: Bringing Baby Up Vegetarian?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, January 10th, 2009 in Actresses, Children.

Congratulations to Life on Mars actress Lisa Bonet! She recently gave birth to baby boy, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa.

Yes, he’ll have to put a few more hours into kindergarten homework to master how to spell that. Unless he just goes by Wolf.

The actress is 40, but you’d never be able to tell from looking at her. Not to mention she used fantastic cougar skills to grab herself a 29 year old man!

No doubt her vegetarian lifestyle has kept her looking good since her “Cosby Show” days, so we’re wondering if baby Wolf will be reared veg as well.

We’ve seen some celebrities insist on a strict vegan diet, only giving in when a divorce court forces them to. Then there’s Diane Keaton, who claims she wouldn’t want to force it on her children.

It’s poll time. What do you guys think? Will Lisa only have meat free baby food for her newest bundle of joy?

Lake Bell’s Favorite Vegan Restaurants

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 9th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

Lake Bell & May Andersen Judge

Like Pamela Anderson, actress Lake Bell has her set of favorite vegan restaurants. The vegan restaurants she visits when she doesn’t want salmon hors d’oeuvres.

What?!!! C’mon, we had to say that. Don’t boo us, she’s the one who was nibbling on Mr. Fishy at that party.

One of the L.A. establishments that tops her list is Vegan Glory, which, according to Bell, “They can be naughty, a bit fast and loose with the strict vegan standards but it’s fast food and it’s excellent.”

Lake Bell enjoys a restaurant that is loose with vegan standards? You’re kidding! Maybe that’s why she claims, “They know me by name here.”

Alright, alright, no more nastiness. Here are some other favorites: Hugo restaurant makes the cut ’cause the “vegan Caeser is to die for” and Good Earth’s not too shabby either.

See what other spots Lake recommends, which don’t only include restaurants, at LA Times.

Misha Barton Ate Mostly Vegetarian In Goa

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 9th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

ELLE Style Awards 2006 - Arrivals

Misha Barton was doing some serious blogging while still on vacation. She sounds a little like us!

The actress wrote, after returning from her holiday stay in Goa, that she ate mostly a vegetarian diet.

The ocean there was so beautiful and warm I didn’t want to get out. I would swim all day, ate mostly a vegetarian diet and bought some beautiful things from the vendors I bargained with — jewelry, saris, you name it.

Could Misha be doing a little experimenting before crossing over all the way?

In a previous post during her vacation, she mentioned she was exploring the spiritual culture in India and taken a liking to some of the healthier practices the people did.

I must admit I used to make fun of people who were all into yoga and chai tea thinking it was another ridiculous health fad. But now I’m that person! First of all Masala Chai tea, the traditional way with milk and sugar is delicious, and this is coming from a brit who only likes my breakfast tea!

Dancing With The Stars Cloris Leachman Shakin’ Her Veg Thing

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 9th, 2009 in Actresses, Reality TV.

2009 Pasadena Tournament Of Roses Grand Marshal Revealed

Dancing With The Stars contestant Cloris Leachman was an 82 year old who could strut, stride, and perform sexy moves with men young enough to be her great grandsons (she happens to actually be a great grandmother, by the way).

When viewers at home saw her on their televisions last season, they probably choked on their popcorn. But Cloris is about to give the recently passed 111 year old Californian a run for her money in longevity and she’s using the same weapon: a vegetarian diet.

Cloris has been a vegetarian for 50 years.

She said you “have to decide” to be young, and it appears she took the right path leading to the fountain of youth.  She’s no stranger to the screen, starring in shows such as “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

She recently served as the grand marshal of the 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade.

Young at heart, vegetarian, and she’s also scored lip smacks with some very younger men. Take a look at the cougar shots.

Lake Bell In Charge Of Vegan Salmon: Silverstone Approves

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, January 8th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

Premiere Of Fox's

Holly Won’t, The Oversneer, and Simon Scowl at Deceiver would have a ball with this one.

Remember Lake Bell, the actress we recently discovered was vegan? She talked about how she was in charge of vegan sweets during the holidays with her family and she went to Baby Cheeks, Sweetie Buns, Baby Cakes bakery in NY for all her vegan goodies?

We did some research in the archives and discovered she has a fish problem, or at least she had one last year at a party for her childhood friend Lyn Devon’s fashion show.

New York Mag caught up with her and asked her why the heck she was eating a salmon hors d’oeuvre if she was a vegan.

“It’s okay, I already came out about my fish-eating-ness to my closest vegan friend, Alicia Silverstone, and she already approves,” Bell said.

Okaaaaay.

Don’t know what the heck that means. Is Alicia Silverstone the vegan confession priest to whom all vegan sinners must go through? It’s hard to imagine Silverstone saying she would approve of such behavior, given the fact that she’s a huge public vegan, both getting naked herself and egging other people on to get naked for the cause.

The last thing we need is another Gwyneth Paltrow who’s “pretty much vegetarian,” who pretty much has confessed her turkey eatingness to everyone but Silverstone. Is Lake Bell full of bellshit? Chime in let us know what you think.

Anne Hathaway Similar To Her Princess Diaries Book Character

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 in Actresses, Authors.

The Princess Diaries 2 Royal Engagement Film Premiere

Meg Cabot created the novel series “The Princess Diaries,” from which Disney snatched up and made two hit movies. She recently announced she’s retiring the “Diaries,” and has written the last book of the set. 

When turning books into movies, there’s bound to be discrepancies between the movie and the book, especially when it comes to portraying the characters.

Cabot’s books told a story very similar to the movie: an awkward girl named Mia who suddenly had to deal with the life of royalty, boy troubles, and a highly opinionated best friend named Lilly Moscovitz.

However, Mia from the novel series was a vegetarian who had “slips,” occasionally. Although she’s an animal rights activist who’s passionate about the environment, in the 9th book she becomes disillusioned, stops caring, and starts chomping (on meat).

Ironically, you could say that Anne Hathaway, who portrayed Mia in the movie, also had vegetarian “slips,” here and there, going from vegetarian to eating meat to almost vegan.
