“I think I can convince anyone to become a vegetarian. David Boreanaz [Booth, her crime solving partner on Bones] used to make fun of me for being a vegan, but then I started giving him vegan food to eat, and he loves it. Now he tries to eat vegetarian 1 day a week.”

Sara Gilbert’s Digging Tofu With Tobey Maguire Too

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 in Actors, Actresses, Food & Drink.

Sara Gilbert and partner lunch with Tobey Maguire

Remember Sara Gilbert, who played the cynical teen Darlene in Roseanne? She’s all grown up now, with a partner, Allison Adler, and two kids. She also, like Ethan Suplee, has discovered the joy of tofu through Tobey Maguire.

This man really gets around.

And never forgetting to bring along his reusable eco bag while doing so. Maybe it serves as a doggy bag for leftovers?

Gilbert, Adler, and Maguire were all spotted doing lunch at, you guessed it, Hollywood’s headquarters for vegan food, Real Food Daily.

With so many celebs being brought in by Tobey makes you wonder if he has some sort of deal going on with the restaurant. All you can eat tempeh buffet for every 20 celebs?

Alicia Silverstone, Paul McCartney Help Fido Get 5 A Day

19th Annual Genesis Awards - Inside

Whether you like it or not, people pay attention to celebrities. And that can be a good thing.

A report done by the pet insurer company LV= claims more pet owners are feeding their dog vegetarian diets because celebrities like Alicia Silverstone and Paul McCartney feed their dogs vegan and vegetarian food.

Silverstone even went to far as to say her dogs don’t pass as much gas now that they’re vegan. If only that worked for people.

Interesting tidbits:

16% of pet owners follow the government nutritional advice for humans. Yep, five servings of fruits and vegetables a day for both you and Barker.

40% of pet owners feed their pets 3 servings of fruits and veggies a day.

The most popular vegetable choices for pets are carrots, followed by potatoes, and lastly peas.

While giving kitty and doggy fresh produce can be good, it’s always best to check with a vet before introducing changes in diet. And kitties are true carnivores-they’ll always need meat with their potatoes.

2008 Summer TCA Tour - Day 3

The Animal Planet television series, “Whale Wars,” premiered on November 7, 2008. If you’re looking to watch a vegan, eco-pirate show, this may for you.

The heavily Hayden Panettiere promoted show stars Captain Paul Watson, who founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He and his crew on the boat named “Steve Irwin” after the late crocodile hunter, attempt to non-violently stop Japanese ships from hunting whales that are to be later used in research purposes.

The crew is fed three vegan meals every day, as was revealed in the introductory episode. No word on if every one on board is completely vegan or if the Captain just has some strict rules about what happens on his boat.

Some of the tactics the crew uses to deter the whale hunters are throwing stink bombs filled with rancid butter on the ships.

And this is not your typical peaceful protest. In one episode, Watson was allegedly shot, but was protected by his bulletproof vest.

Is this Whale Wars or Cops?

It will be interesting to see if veganism comes up in future episodes between shoot ’em up moments with the hunters.

She Said She Was 18…They Said It Was Fake Fur

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, November 8th, 2008 in Actresses, Fur, Not So Vegetarian.

The 2007 National Board Of Review Awards Gala

Kate Winslet got duped.

Miss Vegetarian Titanic appears in the latest issue of Vanity Fair, draped in fox, bear, rabbit, and whatever the heck else goes into real fur clothing. But the lovely Winslet would never wear fur and has worked with Peta in the protest of it.

It seems she was told the by photo shoot people the fur was fake.

But this poses a question: Why agree to do a fur shoot, faux or faux-real anyway? Since it can be hard to tell if it is or isn’t real, why take the chance?

Not only does she run the risk of hurting her credibility, she is also making fur look fashionable. Unless there’s a big disclaimer saying, “This isn’t real. Fur is stupid. Don’t wear it,” most people looking at the magazine will see it as fur. And they will see a beautiful, glamorous actress wearing it, thus thinking they too can possibly be beautiful and glamorous and rack up the credit card this Holiday season with a coat of their own.

Peta, of course, pulled an all nighter trying to get in touch with her representatives who confirmed that Kate was indeed tricked. They let her off easy. We won’t.

16th Annual Environmental Media Awards - Arrivals

Bryan Au is a raw vegan food celebrity chef who’s had the opportunity to share some tasty bites many of the meat-free and famous.

His most memorable meal involved Alicia Silverstone and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

“Once Alicia Silverstone picked me up in her Echo Car (a Hybrid car made by Toyota) and she took me to a underground dinner in Hollywood where the Red Hot Chili Peppers showed up and joined us for one of the most delicious and amazing RAW Organic Dinners…one of my most favorite rock groups in the World”

In case you didn’t know, the lead chili pepper, Anthony Kiedis is a vegan and has his own private vegan chef.

And good ol’ Alicia may be a secret vegan chef hiding her skills, as Au says she taught him a lot of things about raw food.

He learned just how he is appreciated by celebrities at Peta’s 25th Anniversary Gala in Paramount Studios in Hollywood. While getting a chance to meet “all the celebrities” he always wanted to, he ran out of treats in his raw food booth he had set up. But luckily for him, there was one last celebrity that stopped by just before the pantry was cleaned out.

“…at least I had some left when Pamela Anderson came by.”

To try what every celebrity couldn’t get enough of, get Raw in Ten Minutes, a cookbook he wrote. Don’t forget to shop at his Raw Online Store for all the kitchen equipment you’ll need for a great uncooked event.

Pregnancy Makes Female Celebrities All Weird And Meat Seeking

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 7th, 2008 in Actresses, Not So Vegetarian.

11th Annual Hollywood Awards - Arrivals

What is it about pregnancy that makes some women go off on the meat hunt?

Brooke Shields was a vegetarian for over a decade until her pregnancy when she decided she thought her body “needed” meat.

Bryce Dallas Howard kept to her vegetarian ways, but gave up being vegan because she was afraid of not getting enough amino acids in her diet.

And Jennifer Connelly’s bun in the oven made her say, “Gobble, gobble.”

From an interview with Marie Claire Magazine:

“I’d been vegan for many years, and then all of a sudden when I was pregnant with Kai, I wanted a turkey burger. That was the end of my being vegan.”

Uh, the end of being vegetarian too, unless it was a Tofurky burger.

But hormones can do some good things for a famous mother to be. Rebecca Romijn sent Jerry O’Connell to stalk the non-dairy aisle of the store when she wanted her soy cream cheese.
