Gwyneth Paltrow Has True Vegetarian Moment. Seriously.

Gwyneth Paltrow attends launch party for Spain..On The Road Again

Despite her recent transgressions against vegetarianism, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who claims she is “pretty much vegetarian,” actually stood up in defense of both animals and soy milk. Yes, the crucified soy milk.

During a clip of “Spain…On The Road Again,” she’s sitting with Mario Batali and exclaims that Spanish soy milk is delicious.

Mario teases her about his, asking if he can get her some, “steamy, hot stinky soy milk,” and jokes that Spanish soy milk is good because they [the Spaniards] make “great soy sauce.”

Gwyneth tells Mario to shove it. Ouch!

She then chides him for eating lamb earlier, saying it’s such bad karma to eat baby animals (grown  male turkeys still fair game).

Mario’s argument that lots of “tiny soys,” gave up their life for her milk just isn’t as convincing a rebuttal.

Visit Eat Me Daily to view the video (it’s the one at the bottom of the page) as well as a clip showing Gwyneth cringing at the death of a lobster.

Will Smith New Movie Is Seven Pounds Of Vegetarian Goodies

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

Will Smith and cast arrive at the premiere of Columbia Pictures' 'Seven Pounds'

Someone involved with the making of Seven Pounds must have a freezer stocked with Boca Burgers.

The movie starring Will Smith, about a man who dramatically changes the lives of seven people, has more vegetarian themes in 1 hour and 58 minutes than you’ll probably see at a granola bar serving hippie fest.

First there’s Ezra Turner, played by Woody Harrelson, who sells frozen steak over the phone, but doesn’t eat his own products. Wonder if any real life meat purveyors follow this rule as well?

Then there’s Rosario Dawson’s character, Emily Posa, who’s not only a vegetarian, but insists her dog be one as well.

Finally, there’s a scene where the word “vegan” is prominently displayed on a hospital chalkboard.

Mere coincidence? Subliminal veggie propaganda? Watch the video below for the scene where Emily explains to Will Smith’s character Ben Thomas her dog is vegetarian. If you can’t view the video, head over to Trailer Addict for other viewing options.

Oprah Winfrey Demands Obama Share Person Of The Year Love

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

Oprah Winfrey Joins Obama On Campaign Trail

Some have accused Oprah Winfrey of being an attention fiend.

And she does push herself in the spotlight frequently, from her support to certain political candidates to letting everyone know what book she’s cuddling up with instead of Stedman for the week. She has her face on the cover of every one of her magazines, for goodness sake.

But attention fiends can be good, especially if they’re garnishing it for the right reasons. And that’s exactly why the U.S. division of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has chosen her as Person of the Year 2008.

She’s used her power to draw attention to a variety of animal abuse. After following a plea on a billboard in Chicago to do a show on puppy mills, she aired an episode that featured undercover footage of horrible conditions at one located in Pennsylvania. Her audience also got to see the torture that chickens, pigs, and veal calves endure in conventional factory farms.

Earlier this year in April, she dedicated an episode of her show to her late cocker spaniel.

Let’s not forget, she went vegan for 21 days and told the world about it!

Hats off to Oprah. Good thing Time Magazine’s Person of The Year,  Barack Obama, is a slender man. He definitely needs to make room for some other great people in the spotlight.

And you thought it didn’t get any better than a Wii Fit.

The people at PETA have invented entertainment for all the gamers in mind. The online game, PETA’s Holiday Snowball Game, allows you to throw snowballs at fur wearing celebrities, such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who are presented as their satirical counterparts-The Trollsen Twins (Hairy-Kate and Trashley Olsen), Madonna, and fashion designer Donna Karan.

You get 10 points for ambushing Madonna, 25 for Donna Karan, and a whopping 50 for taking out Mary-Kate and Ashley with any part of Frosty you’d like. And if you advance to the next levels, take shots at Colonel Sanders and Sarah Palin.

Warning: There are innocent non fur wearing civilians you shouldn’t hit, and if you do, you lose 50 points. They don’t have names, but you could call them “The Pleather People.”

Even better than the family football bowl during the holidays. Let the games begin.

Meatless Mouthful: Mallika Sherawat Straight Edge Sex Symbol

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 19th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood, Meatless Mouthful.

“Being [a] sex symbol is [a] lot of hard work, and requires Spartan discipline. I work out, I don’t go to parties, I do not smoke or drink alcohol, I am Vegetarian and I am asleep by 10pm.”

—-one of the most popular quotes by Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat, whose real name is Reema Lamba.

She’s starred in Indian films such as Khwahish and Murder, for which she won Best Actress at the Zee Cine Awards in the Indian film industry.

She’s not only sexy, but smart too, as she obtained a degree in Indian philosophy from Miranda House, Delhi University.

Based on her description of what it takes to be a sex symbol, a.k.a. living the non-hardcore party life, sounds like all of you straight-edgers are pretty darn sexy!

Vegetarian Gwyneth Paltrow Offers More Animal Flesh Recipes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 19th, 2008 in Actresses, Not So Vegetarian.

The UK Premiere of Two Lovers

Gwyneth’s Paltrow’s vegetarianism these days is sort of like describing a prostitute’s puritanical traits. Yeah, there really aren’t many.

To make a long story short, the actress who claims to be “pretty much vegetarian”, has “pretty much” slept with the fur devil and given step by step instructions for making patties out of Tom Turkey these past few months. But she did abstained from ham. Always give credit when it’s due. 

Her latest newsletter from her online site, Goop, features the, cough, cough, vegetarian giving meal hints for the holidays.

“I generally always make the same meal for Christmas as I do for Thanksgiving with a few exceptions…Since you can pull up the Thanksgiving MAKE from the archive if you’re doing Whole Roast Turkey, I thought I would do a delicious Hanukkah menu and a Christmas breakfast.”

“For Hanukkah I love a Whole Roasted Fish with Salsa Verde and with the addition of the Latkes, you get that wonderful crisp potato thing on the side; it’s very satisfying…”

“The biscuits are a healthier version of the good ole’ southern version but are just as tasty. You can scramble an egg, add one of the homemade sausages, stick ’em in the fresh warm biscuit and, to quote a line from the epic eighties film Sixteen Candles, “Wha-lah, breakfast is ready!”

Um, wha-lah, girlfriend, breakfast is soooo not vegetarian ready!

It isn’t so much that we are attacking someone for promoting so much meat (not that we haven’t done that before), but it’s the fact that Gwyneth has associated herself with being vegetarian, yet is choosing to focus on so many meat dishes lately. She could have at least suggested her vegan pancakes with that darn turkey sausage!

Get The Jorja Fox Purse To Carry All Your Investigative Supplies

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, December 18th, 2008 in Actresses, Fashion.

397px-jorjafoxvegad When you think of Jorja Fox, who played Sara Sidle on the CBS series “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”, you think of her character as getting down and dirty: digging through dumpsters for evidence, feeling her way through a body cavity for a bullet, chalking down a crime scene.

She didn’t wear heels and a skirt for those scenes and most definitely wasn’t carrying a purse. But Matt & Nat, designer of vegan purses, know Jorja’s fans still like to get feminine without the leather, so they designed a series of purses named after her and come out with different designs every season. 1
Matt & Nat 

Jorja is a vegetarian who has advocated the diet and lifestyle in order to help the environment.

The latest Jorja style, a vegan leather handbag, shown here, contains 100% recycled faux suede lining with interior pockets to put your cell phone or PDA in. Which you’ll need, of course, if out on the town and your boss calls you in to examine a skull found behind the restaurant you ate at last week.

Oprah’s 40 Pound Solution: Come Back Over To The Vegan Side!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 in Actresses, TV Hosts.

17th Annual Women In Entertainment Power 100 Breakfast - Arrivals

Oprah has been in the news lately, talking about her weight gain of 40 pounds, saying she’s “embarrassed,” by the situation and “mad at herself.”

In her January issue of “O”, the magazine in which she always appears on the cover, she writes, “I’m mad at myself.  I didn’t just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me.”

Sounds like she could use the help of some vegan Skinny Bitches!

Someone needs to remind O that a vegan and vegetarian diet is not only healthier, but can help you shed bad fat all while reducing your chances of developing obesity related diseases like diabetes.

She been here before. Last spring, on the advice of author Kathy Freston, Oprah, went vegan for 21 days as part of a detox and cleanse routine.

So come on, O! Take the sunglasses off and stop hiding in shame. Come back over to the veg side!

Not only would Oprah say see ya to the extra 40, but she could finally end years of yo-yo dieting as being vegetarian and vegan is about a lifestyle-not a prescribed formula for eating.

Not to mention she could finally grant Alicia Silverstone her wish and do a naked ad promoting vegetarianism.
