Vegetarian Star

Well, maybe she regrets buying a boa constrictor because it has to stay in a cage. Letting an animal like that roam around the house might bring surprises during your 2am snack time.

Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, wife of Will Smith, bought a red-tailed boa constrictor named Beauty. Having to keep Beauty in a cage for most of the time has made Jada sympathetic to the conditions caged animals live in and she vows to never buy an animal that has to be confined like that again.

She told Contact Music, “I think I’ll never get an animal like a snake again where I have to keep her in an aquarium.”

“We have this whole thing for Beauty outside for her, to be in a natural habitat. But at the end of the day, she knows she’s caged into her aquarium.”

In addition, she told her daughter, Willow, “we won’t do this again and won’t have any animals that need to stay like that.”

The experience has made her think about becoming an animal activist in the years to come.

We wonder if the Mrs. Fresh Prince knows that an easy way to become an activist, of course, is to reduce or cut the consumption of animals from your diet.

Not to worry. Once Pamela Anderson gets word, we’re sure she’ll jump on the chance to help fellow mom Jada make any transitions she needs to become a full-fledged activist.

It’s been awhile since Maureen McCormick had a chance to run around and bug Greg Brady on the set of the late 60s and 70s show, “The Brady Bunch.” Consequently, with no Greg, Peter, or Bobby, or even Jan and Cindy to bother, “Marcia,” has been a little sedentary and put on a few pounds.

To regain her youthful Hollywood figure, she signed up for the Vh1 series Celebrity Fit Club to help shed a few pounds. She competed and won, but still feels work needs to be done. The folks at Peta think they can help. They’ve sent her a vegetarian starter kit, and told her the best way to slim down is to go vegan. An excerpt from the letter:

“Not only will a vegan diet help you slim down, it will also help you fight an array of ailments, including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and certain types of cancer. Going vegan is also the easiest thing that you can do save the environment and spare the lives of thousands of animals who are slaughtered for food each year. It’s never too late to turn over a new leaf…”

It would be incredible to have Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, go vegan, vegan, vegan, and come out as the next veg celeb. Of course, Peta’s got a stake in this too. From Celebrity Fit Club to Celebrity Strip (for Peta ads) Club, we’re sure they’re hoping she’ll sign up for a membership.

Olivia Wilde plays a neurotic self-diagnosing doctor with a terminal brain tumor on Fox’s House who describes herself as a “sort-of vegetarian who eats fish.”

Not eating any other non-plant item but fish is better than downing Big Macs every day. But with the fish population dwindling and the impact that could have on ocean life, we’d like to see Wilde work harder to be a little more eco-friendly. And we think we have the answer: Eat Gwyneth Paltrow’s vegan pancakes.

No, this won’t restore the sardines she munches on while watching episodes of herself and Lisa Edelstein on widescreen, but at least she’d be reducing her dairy intake. And she can down a lot of pancakes to offset her “print.”

Wilde once won a contest for eating 33 pancakes in 20 minutes! She entered the contest just to prove she could eat as much as the macho men who doubted her gluttonous talents.

Maybe it’s the spirit of competition and a gauntlet thrown down that drives her into action.

Oh, Olivia, can you hear us? We don’t think you can stop eating fish. Not hardcore enough to do it…

Something stinks. We think it’s Lauren Conrad. She doesn’t actually smell of real fish (depending on if she’s eaten recently), but her actions do.

The FORMER vegetarian appears in an interview in the November issue of Cosmopolitan and says that although she used to be a strict vegetarian, she now eats fish.

MTV’s “The Hills” actress also reports craving salts instead of sweets, calling it a “salt tooth.”

You can pick up a copy of Cosmopolitan, which has been on the stands since October 14th and learn how Lauren deals with trying to be a normal 22-year old living in a fish (he, he, have to get that pun in) bowl as a Hollywood star.

“My exhibitionism can be a great vehicle – here are the boobs, now let’s talk about animal experimentation.”

—-Pamela Anderson, in an interview admitting she’s likes dressing sexy and getting attention and that it can be helpful when trying to get people to pay attention to issues she’s talking about.

It definitely gets discussion going. Whether or not the conversation and thoughts are about animal rights is yet to be determined.

The Karen & Sisters food loving actress Anne Hathaway was spotted grocery shopping at Whole Foods in Hollywood a few days ago. If you remember us telling you, Anne told David Letterman she had gone back to being vegetarian, was almost vegan, and had given up smoking as well.

Apparently, she was examining the produce when the timed sprinkler went off and gave her a little “shower.”

We guess this Whole Foods doesn’t have a recording device that says, “Please stand back. Freshwater misting is about to occur.”

It may be for the best. The voice-over can be more startling than a little mist.

To see a picture of Anne at Whole Foods, go to this website.

Turkeys can’t talk (at least not in a manner we can understand yet), so Emily Deschanel, or Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan as most of us know her on “Bones,” will be talking for them.

David Boreanaz’s co-star will be a guest speaker at Farm Sanctuary’s Celebration For The Turkeys in California on November the 11th.

Since so many turkeys are consumed around this time of year, the event is meant to raise awareness of the abuse that occurs on farms and in factories.

Although she doesn’t have any turkey pets (as of yet), Emily is a sponsor of Stacey, a pig that resides on the Sanctuary in California and she’s sponsored other animals for friends.

With her star status, combined with intelligence and eloquence, she may very well have the power to convince people to pardon more turkeys that all presidents combined.

Central Florida Green Guide had the wonderful opportunity of interview Daryl Hannah recently. Sure, she’s an environmentalist, activist, outspoken veg gal who seems to be an overachiever when it comes to the above issues and it might be a little intimidating for the rest of use mere non famous mortals. No excuse, according to her. The easier way to get involved with becoming greener is to just “jump in the deep end.”

“I would say – go for it! Jump in the deep end! It’s great in here, and there are so many fantastic options available to consumers now that really work. Get the toxic cleaners out from under your sink and the toxic chemical detergents out of the laundry room. Buy organic food from your local farmers market. Change your light bulbs to compact fluorescents. Start a garden. Start composting.”

Going meatless is another way to get yourself greener. She became vegetarian after she realized she could no longer dissociate herself from the food she was eating.

“I became a vegetarian at age 11… and I just couldn’t gnaw on the flesh of creatures anymore. It grossed me out. The health and environmental benefits turned out to be a bonus! Often I find that when I do something from pure compassionate place, aspects I never considered seem to benefit as well – illustrating how we are truly interconnected to all life. The meat industry not only suffers from inhumane practices but is also complicit as the 3rd largest contributor to our global warming crisis.”
