Lipstick Jungle’s Mary Tyler Moore Predicts The Meat Chapter Of History Books

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, August 11th, 2008 in Actresses.

Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Honors Betty White

This September 24th, Mary Tyler Moore will be joining the cast of “Lipstick Jungle,” to play Brooke Shields’ television mom who is a retired high powered executive enjoying her new role managing her daughter’s life and telling her how to run it.

Her character’s experience may mimic Moore’s real life ascension in the entertainment business.

“I’m fortunate to have had a front row seat to the evolution of working women on television,” Moore said.

Moore was once quote as predicting that one day, meat eating would be just another chapter in the history books.

“It may take a while, but there will probably come a time when we look back and say, ‘Good Lord, do you believe that in the 20th century and early part of the 21st, people were still eating animals?'”

Pam Anderson Bites Into Vegan Kentucky Fried Chicken Sandwich

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, August 5th, 2008 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

Pamela Anderson stopped by one of Canada’s Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants to sample their new faux chicken vegetarian sandwich. The veggie chicken, which some say technically isn’t vegan because it’s fried in the same oil with the real chicks, was created in response to much pressure by celebrities and other folk for KFC to clean up its act and provide better environments for their chickens.

If you’re going to be visiting Canada before the end of September, you should take advantage of this buy 1 get one free coupon. We’re still waiting for a fake chicken in the U.S., though. Pam had this to say about her home country’s actions:

“It’s very Canadian of them. Very forward thinking. I’m very proud Canada KFC was the first to do it. Hopefully everyone else follows suit.”

Daryl Hannah Grows Own Food, Defends bio-fuel

The EMA & E! Golden Green Party - Arrivals

Actress Daryl Hannah grows her own produce and thinks bio-fuel is still a better option, despite some blaming it for the rise in food prices, since the production of ethanol uses food crops.

“I’ve personally witnessed the devastation in the Amazon that the oil companies have wrought upon these indigenous communities. There are open, unlined waste pits, rainbow oil slicks on the streams, high cadmium and lead poisoning in the children and wildlife. When you see these crimes, you have no choice but to speak up,” she said.

“In the case of ethanol and corn production. it is partly responsible” (for food price rises),” Hannah admitted in an interview.

But she insists that there are other sources that bio-fuel can be harvested from, including, “garbage, hemp, algae, moringa, jatropha, cellulose waste and prairie grasses.”

The vegetarian once told a source that she found it very upsetting to eat a lobster on the 1984 Movie, “Splash.”

FUR Get Me Not Christina Applegate Expected To Recover From Breast Cancer

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, August 4th, 2008 in Actresses, Fur.

“Samantha Who?” star Christina Applegate is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, but is expected to fully recover, according to her publicist.

Fortunately, the disease was caught in an early stage. Ironically, she is scheduled to appear in the Stand Up To Cancer Telethon next month, which now will probably be an even more personal experience than for some other stars also participating.

Last Holiday season, Applegate joined forces with PETA for a very provocative Christmas e-card, urging holiday shoppers not to buy fur as gifts. The card, shown above, reads, “Cross cruelty off your shopping list by avoiding fur coats, collars, and cuffs (unless it’s fake, of course).”

Pamela Anderson Sent Jessica Simpson Veggie Pamphlets From PETA

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, August 1st, 2008 in Actresses.

2007 World Magic Awards

Pamela Anderson is preaching the vegetarian news Jehovah Witness style. She sent Jessica Simpson, who she called a “b#$ch” and a “wh#$e” for wearing a “Real Girls Eat Meat” t-shirt, a vegetarian starter kit, complete with printed material from PETA.

“I sent her some information and I sent her a letter from PETA saying how the meat industry is horrible for the environment, horrible for your health and sent her some information about it,” said former Baywatch babe. “I don’t know what her intentions were but she definitely wanted to be photographed in that T-shirt and I thought, you know, put a smarter T-shirt on.”

Could Pamela Anderson be showing up at your doorstep with pamphlets and magazines preaching the veggie news? If so, we are curious as to how many men she can convert with her door to door methods.

Bones Star Emily Deschanel Gets Her Veggies At The Farmer’s Market

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, August 1st, 2008 in Actresses.

2007 Spirit Of Independence Award

On any given Sunday, there’s a good chance you’ll find Bones star Emily Deschanel at the local farmer’s market in Hollywood. For some reason, “farmer’s market” and “Hollywood” almost sound like the two could never be combined, but thankfully, Deschanel proves this to be wrong.

A vegan for about 15 years, she let USA Today’s William Keck follow her around (is that approved stalking?) while she picked avocado and other goodies.

One of her favorite spots is the veggie soul food stand, where she ordered vegetarian pot roast, greens, cornbread and black-eyed peas. Although her current day job is an actress, she also considers herself a good chef: 

“I make a good guacamole, if I do say so myself.”

Veg Howard Defends Veg Bale

Is hummus thicker than water? Vegetarian Bryce Dallas Howard recently defended Christian Bale, who is also veg, on recent allegations that he created a hostile environment on The Terminator by throwing temper tantrums on the set. Bale has been making headlines lately for an alleged assault on his mother and sister.

Howard, who played Bale’s wife, insisted he was nothing but a gentleman and suggested the role he played may have caused him to be misunderstood.

“This man is just a gentleman, an amazing person. I adore him and I just can’t wait to be with him next week,” said Howard.

“(His character) John Connor is a very intense character… and so misinterpretations could happen.”

Both Howard and Bale are vegetarians. Howard was introduced to veganism by Joaquin Phoenix, her co-star on The Village. Phoenix apparently showed her a documentary on animal cruelty called Earthlings. Howard reported in 2006 that she switched to vegetarian in order to help her boost her amino acid levels in preparation for pregnancy.

Alicia Silverstone believes plant based foods are the secret to getting a celeb body and shuns the notion of dieting.

“If you want to lose weight just focus on your health. You don’t have to have a diet mentality at all if you eat healthy, plant-based foods,” she said. 

“Honestly, you should add more kale and Swiss chard to your diet. Look at my skin. It works wonders. All you need to do is eat wholegrains or plant-based foods. If you eat this way, you simply can’t be fat.”
