Paramount Vantage Premiere Of

“I get really excited about the fact that I can eat an artichoke, place all the leaves into my little bucket, put it into the ground and then it turns into rich soil which then grows my food. I know that might sound weird, but the cycle of life really amazes me.”
—-vegan actress Alicia Silverstone on some of the green things she does around her home, including having a compost bucket in her backyard. The biggest “green” act of all is being vegan of course. If you haven’t watched the video on Meat The Truth, discussing all the nifty facts on how vegetarianism and veganism helps prevent global climate change, you’re missing out.

Pamela Anderson Helped Others Meat The Truth

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 26th, 2008 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green, Videos.

Pamela Anderson Press Conference

Pamela Anderson was presented with a copy of Meat the Truth, a documentary on the effects of the meat industry and the environment she participating in making, at the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam earlier this month.

If you remember us telling you, Anderson wrote a letter giving sex tips to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands before leaving for the trip.

When Al Gore presented An Inconvenient Truth, some say he forgot to highlight an important component for saving the world from global climate change: vegetarianism.

Meat the Truth, by Karen Soeters (Director, Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation) is the documentary that picks up where An Inconvenient Truth left off. According to the creators of Meat the Truth, the livestock industry is responsible for 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions and that’s 40% more than the emissions created by all the cars, trucks, trains, boats and planes added together.

Here’s a fun fact for you frequent fliers: If all Americans would not eat meat for one day a week, it would save 90 million plane tickets from New York to Los Angeles in terms of carbon emissions.

The video below contains more facts as well as a statement made by comedian Bill Maher. Several other celebrities helped make, Meat the Truth, including Maher, James Cromwell, Emily Deschanel, and Hal Sparks.

Saturday Night Live’s Kristen Wiig Balances Tofu With M&Ms

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 26th, 2008 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

The Cinema Society Hosts The After Party For

Actress Kristen Wiig has been around the block quite a few times tickling our funny bone.

It’s her fourth season on Saturday Night Live, but her CV includes Knocked Up, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and most recently, Ghost Town.

Like the rest of us normal humans, she has an insane sweet and junk food tooth that drives her to the likes of Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms, lemon cupcakes, and “hot, melted cheesy sandwiches.”

But she’s only diet naughty once a week. For the other 6 days it’s tofu and jogging in Central Park. We’re not sure about the jogging, but the tofu part doesn’t sound like punishment at all.

From an interview with Women’s Health:

“I live between Central Park and the Hudson River, and those are two great places to walk and run. I also do yoga. A bunch of us have a private class once a week. When I’m working, I try to get something in a couple times a week. I’m a vegetarian; I eat a lot of tofu and soy. I drink a lot of water, and I’m addicted to cranberry juice. I do have a splurge day once a week when I can eat whatever I want. It’s good, because it helps you stay on track the rest of the week. In the beginning, I ate anything I could see. But it’s funny: The more you do it, the less you end up splurging.”

Read the rest of Kristen’s interview to learn more about this hilarious woman who claims to love Target just as much as her SNL character does.

Emily Deschanel Frequently Heard Pigs Being Slaughtered

Ellen DeGeneres And Portia de Rossi Host Yes! On Prop 2 Party

Yes, most of us dropped a tiny tear at the news of Bambi’s mother dying, but other than that, unless you grew up vegetarian or on a farm or ever worked in a meat market, you were probably shielded from the horrors of learning how the food on your plate got there.

In contrast, when “Bones” actress Emily Deschanel was growing up, she heard pigs slaughtered regularly.

“I was about 10 years old on an island and they killed the pigs right behind where we lived. And you could hear them screaming. That was a pretty terrible thing to hear when I was so young. And that just kind of sort of started [me] thinking, ‘How can people treat another animal that way and if we can live without doing that then why wouldn’t we live that way?'”

The video of her discussing her experience is featured at SupremeMasterTV

How Bollywood’s Kareena Kapoor Is Spending Her Christmas

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood.

“Mom, Lolo and I believe in the power of the Mt Mary’s Shrine. I am very religious and Christmas has always been huge in the family. We decorate the Christmas tree, attend the Midnight Mass and then have a Christmas dinner on December 25 replete with roast turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, vegetables and plum pudding for dessert and the traditional goodies that come with it. I am not non vegetarian so I won’t be able to have the roast turkey but I can have the side dishes.”

If you’re celebrating Christmas this holiday season, how will you be doing so? Unlike Kareena, do you have the Tofurky at the table or are you destined to eat side dishes?

Chime in and let us know your plans!

Good Job Momma Hilton! Faux Fur Is The Best This Christmas

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, December 22nd, 2008 in Actresses, Fashion, Fur.

Paris Hilton - Fragrance Signing And Photocall

Socialite Kathy Hilton, mother of Paris Hilton, spoke with E! Online about what her two grown little girls are getting for Christmas. Yes, it looks like E!Online has now ruined the surprise for Paris and Nicky!

Just one of their surprises, that it, as it’s a sure thing Momma Hilton got them more than one item. Especially considering she started shopping in October.

“Nicky wanted me to get her this photograph,” Kathy said. “It is of a beautiful swan because she loves swans, so I got her that.”

“And Paris, I am going to get her a very cool faux fur coat. Like a bomber jacket.”

Kudos to that! A socialite worth millions, billions, and gazillions, dropped the word that she’s buying fake fur for the holidays. In a time where celebrities are still pretending it’s caveman days and fur is the only way to keep warm, Momma Hilton proudly professed what her pocketbook is financing this year, one of the best cruelty-free presents you can buy.

Awhile back, Kathy’s husband Rick, was gushing over Paris’s then boyfriend Benji Madden and his clean lifestyle, saying he was a “healthy vegan.”

Paris and Benji broke up, but still hang out together. Is a romantic reunion possible? If so, we’re jumping for joy. With Benji’s healthy vegan lifestyle and momma Hilton choosing faux fur, some of that animal compassion just might rub off on Paris.

Eva Mendes Wants Threesome With Jennifer Aniston, Morrissey

The 10th Anniversary Party For Flaunt Magazine

Eva Mendes has gone wild.

Earlier we told you she wanted to pose naked with Morrissey for a People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) anti-fur ad.

Now she wants Jennifer Aniston to join them.

She joked she had a craving for a “PETA-Buddy and Jenny Sandwich,” when expressing her desire to get Aniston involved. Is that what they’re calling it these days?

Mendes, like many others, particularly men, was impressed with Aniston’s naked photo cover for GQ magazine. That, along with the fact that Aniston’s new movie, Marley & Me, is about a dog who helps a couple cope with life, is the reason Eva thinks Jen is picture perfect for the job.

“Jennifer is currently going naked to promote a film about what wonderful companions and teachers dogs are,” Mendes said. “And it is just one small step from there to advocating for the fair and ethical treatment of all animals.”

Three is a crowd, but if it’s for the sake of animal rights, close might still be comfy.

More Sex Symbol Tips From Mallika Sherawat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, December 20th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood.

mallika-sherawatEarlier in the week, we told you how Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat thinks being a sex symbol is hard work-no partying, early bedtime, and strict vegetarian diet.

She has revealed more on her diet and reasons for going vegetarian. Instead of cow’s milk, she gets dairy from soya, cashew, and almond milk.

“I have been strictly vegetarian ever since I can remember,” she said. “I am against the concept of killing an animal to eat it.”

She is also into natural foods and whole grain chapattis, a type of unleavened flat bread in India.

So what are you sex kitten wannabes waiting for? You should be rushing to the store for almond milk already.
