Will Oprah Winfrey Get Naked?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 in Actresses, TV Hosts.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's 50th Anniversary Opening Night

Some things are just too creepy. In an interview almost a year ago, Alicia Silverstone said she wanted to see Oprah naked…

But that’s not the creepy part, though, ha, ha. You see, Alicia was talking about her passion for vegetarianism and how she wanted to see such a famous and powerful person like Oprah go vegetarian because of the sheer influence the talk show diva has.

“I would love to see Oprah naked — that’s a goal for me,” she said. “It would be great if she became a vegetarian; she is a very powerful woman and would really get the message across.” Silverstone was referring to Oprah taking a stance on vegetarianism by posing nude for PETA, like herself and many other celebrities have done.

In case, you didn’t know, Oprah went vegan. But only for 21 days as part of a detox process. But she reported to have enjoyed both the experience and the food.

Now for the creepy part. How could Alicia Silverstone be so psychic? Oprah went vegan months after Silverstone made her statement. Are we in store for a nude Oprah soon?

It would be great if she returned to at least some form of vegetarianism again, or even vowed to reduce meat and made it one of her Oprah campaigns, along with designer lip gloss, book clubs, and dozens of other trends she starts and somehow makes millions of women (and men) follow. Is Oprah the next nude pin up for PETA posters? We’ll be on the lookout for more Alicia Silverstone predictions, as this girl seems to be getting all too good at them.

“I used to bring non-kosher food in my lunch bag and my mom would make me lie and say I had tuna when really it was non-kosher chicken salad. I hated that, so I said, ‘I’m a vegetarian.’ It was my out.”

As an adolescent, how did you rebel? Break curfew? Dress trampy and date the bad boy? How about eat meat behind mom and dad’s back? Aisha Tyler of Fox’s 24 and Ross’ girlfriend, Charlie, in Friends,  was a very, very bad girl. In an interview with Britain’s Night and Day magazine:

“I love food. I’m not someone who has ever been able to survive on lettuce leaves. My parents were vegetarians and I went to school with sandwiches with tofu and greens. None of the other kids wanted to trade their lunches with me. It forced me to be funny and make friends. I had to assimilate with the other youngsters even though I felt like an outsider. When other kids were rebelling by smoking and drinking, I was going out and sneaking meat on the side. It sounds crazy but my idea of rebellion was to buy a turkey dinner and eat it without mum and dad knowing.”

Bad Aisha. Bad, bad, bad. That’s an act punishable of at least a year’s worth of grounding. And who said anything about surviving on lettuce leaves? Didn’t Tyler’s parents know about Morningstar Farms?

Brooke Shields: Vegetarian Gone Bad?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 in Actresses, Models, Not So Vegetarian.

The NBC Universal Experience

Brooke Shields is gracing the cover of Shape Magazine for October. Supposedly, she has 5 tips for staying healthy, fit, and happy. However, she made a comment that although she used to be a vegetarian, she eats meat now and it’s what her body thinks is right.

“I was a vegetarian for 15 years until I got pregnant. I just needed to eat meat. I believe you really have to listen to your body.”

We wonder what our favorite vegetarian models like Christie Brinkley would think of that comment. Better yet, we wonder what you guys think of that comment. Do you believe her body was telling her to eat meat? Or just eat better? What do you think about people who think switching back to meat will bring them better health?

2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show - Arrivals

I don’t wanna wait…For the tempeh special to be over.

James Van Der Beek and his wife Heather Combs were reported to have had lunch at a vegan restaurant in Beverly Hills, according to Starz Life.  He’s known best for his role of Dawson on the 90s T.V. series Dawson’s Creek. We really wish we had more details…but we don’t.

Yes, it would have been nice to know the name of the restaurant and what they ordered. We’re not even sure that ol’ Dawson and his gal are vegetarians. But one thing we know for sure: It’s darn cool.

It would also be interesting to know what purpose that pole is doing there. Might make a completely different celebrity story. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Pam Anderson’s Vegan Foot Fetish: She Wants Her Own Line Of Shoes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 4th, 2008 in Actresses, Fashion.

Pamela Anderson arrives in Australia to promote her Reality TV series

Following the footsteps (no pun intended) of fellow veg sister Natalie Portman, Pamela Anderson is interested in designing her own line of vegan shoes. Since discovering one of her favorite pairs of shoes, Ugg boots, is made from sheepskin, she’s determined she and other vegetarians can do better.

“Like a lot of women around L.A, I always wore Ugg boots until I realized what they are made from,” she said.

“I don’t wear them any more. Instead I’m designing my own range of animal-friendly shoes. My goal is to make sure every mom in Malibu has a pair of boots that are not sheep.”

She’ll definitely have a vegan fanbase for the shoes when they eventually come out. And hopefully, with her celebrity status, many non-veg feet fashionistas will realize you can look great in your own (and not another animal’s) skin.

1,2 Pam Anderson’s Coming For You…7,8 Better Get Veg Straight

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 in Actors, Actresses, Not So Vegetarian.

Premiere of

Ahh…He’s so cute…I’m going to get him.

This is almost getting kind of creepy. Celebrities who promote meat had better beware: Pamela Anderson will be on you faster than a vegan cheetah who shuns Cheetos.

We all know by now how she feels about Jessica Simpson’s wardrobe preferences and she even sent her written information on how meat is bad for the environment. Her next stop is Matthew McConaughey’s door-or shall we say his freezer.

The southern boy actor and recent father has become a spokesman for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and has done ads urging people to eat more red meat. Not too good.

“He is so cute, how can he do that?” said Anderson. I’m going to send him a letter.”
