Joanne Rose Bothered By Dietitians Encouraging Meat And Dairy

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, September 19th, 2008 in Actresses, Recipes.

Joanne Rose is an Australian born actress that has appeared in “CSI: New York” and as a stand in for the movie Knocked Up.

She was heavily influenced by the late River Phoenix, who was also a vegetarian, in her decision to stop eating animal products and is not too keen on the advice some medical professionals give about healthy eating.

“It bothers me that there are dietitians out there who encourage people to eat meat and dairy,” she told Celebrities For Health. “They believe that eating red meat gives you the essential iron intake you need…You can get all the right vitamins and minerals from being a Vegan. You can also take vitamin supplements to enhance your dietary needs.”

Some of her favorite foods are rice balls, tofu burgers, and wheat-free vegan pizza. She was kind enough to share one of her favorite recipes for “Savory Sauce.” We haven’t tried it yet, but sure sounds like something to share at a future staff dinner.

Emily Deschanel Likes Gardein From Whole Foods

2008 FOX UpFront - Arrivals

More food voyeurism. What do the vegetarian stars like to eat? We found what’s probably on the grocery lists of Chrissie Hynde, Constance Marie, Dennis Kucinich, Daryl Hannah, and Emily Deschanel every week.

In addition to vegetarian pot roast, our favorite Bones actress likes Gardein, a wheat protein product that she says you can only find at Whole Foods. “It’s very tasty,” she said.

Constance Marie is really into veggie hot dogs, Daryl Hannah tries to stay away from fake meats because of soy isolate, but Dennis Kucinich loves his Tofurky`kielbasa’ and the vegan Gardenburger.

Singer Chrissie Hynde is probably the least picky to please: “I will eat whatever I am offered, providing no animals have suffered.”

Vegetarian Victoria Beckham Wants Bangers On Menu

Marc Jacobs - Spring 09 MBFW - Arrivals

Victoria Beckham may have made a pact with the devil. The carnivore devil, that is. Beckham, a vegetarian, is opening a restaurant in Los Angeles with celebrity chef, Hell’s kitchen, and Kitchen Nightmare’s Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay is not exactly known for his love of vegetarians and it doesn’t look like the menu will reflect anything different.

Ramsay told the Daily Mirror, “Yes, it is true that Victoria and I are setting up a restaurant in LA together. I’m really excited. She’s really keen to focus on a traditional English-style menu, like bangers and mash, fish and chips and such like.”

What the heck are bangers? We asked ourselves this question and did some digging. Bangers are sausages made from pork or beef with apple or tomato seasoning. Uh, no thanks. Mash, of course, being mashed potatoes. Not too bad. Any chance of getting a Morningstar Farms version of Bangers and Mash on the menu?

Pamela Anderson On Sarah Palin: “She Can Suck It.”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, September 12th, 2008 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Politicians.

We bet you 100 bucks we know who Pamela Anderson is voting for this November. Or at least who she’s not voting for.

Anderson was in Toronto speaking out against animal abuse in Hollywood when she was asked what she thought of Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin. The reporter mentioned the Newsweek article which pictured a bear hide in Palin’s home office. Palin has also made it known she is an avid hunter.

“I can’t stand her,” Anderson said. “She can suck it!”

Ah, good old vegetarian Pammy is back again, never failing to tell anyone who disagrees with her beliefs how she really feels. Fellow hollywood star Matt Damon has been a little more polite about it. He just thinks Palin’s absurd.

Actress Jorja Fox took a break from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in 2007, but she’ll be back for a few special episodes this fall. (Pause for fans cheering and screaming.) A quote from the vegetarian of 20 years about vegetarianism and the environment at the Animal Acres Farm Sanctuary Gala:

“I’ve been a vegetarian for a very long time, and this place, I think, exemplifies so many ways the microcosm of the macrocosm of the microcosm. If you can spend a little time with these creatures, you can connect them again to animals that you love, which I think helps everybody remember the importance of treating them humanely and with dignity. These are, you know, the lucky animals that have fallen off the backs of trucks and stuff. If you want to help the environment, go vegetarian.”

Diane Keaton Not Making Kids Go Vegetarian

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 11th, 2008 in Actresses, Children, Not So Vegetarian.

ICP Presents The 24th Annual Infinity Awards - Inside

Award winning actress, director, and producer Diane Keaton made her film debut in the 70s as Kay Adams in The Godfather and she’s been making us laugh for decades with her roles in movies such as Father of The Bride, The First Wives Club, and Something’s Gotta Give. In the past 3 years, she’s also gotten on the blogging bandwagon and contributed to The Huffington Post.

Although she’s a a vegetarian, she’s not making her two children, Duke and Dexter, go that route.

“No, no. I’m not doing that to them,” she told Parade Magazine. “I’m sure, once they grow up, they’ll be going, “What an eccentric human being, this mother of ours.”

While we were hoping she’d keep it all in the family, who knows? Maybe they’ll take after mom once they become adults. It may be for the best. We already saw the tragedy of how Aisha Tyler rebelled when mom and dad packed her tofu for lunch.
