Vegetarian Star

During her visit to India for the reality TV show “Bigg Boss 4,” Pamela Anderson has fallen in love with Indian food, especially a dish called paneer tikka.

“The food here is really nice. I am a vegetarian and just ate paneer tikka, which was quite spicy,” Anderson said, according to the Times of India.

The dish involves placing pieces of spiced paneer cheese on skewers in a shish-kabob fashion. Paneer cheese, made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice or food acid, is one of the few cheeses that does not involve using rennet, a product from a calf’s stomach, in the processing, making it more suitable for stricter vegetarians.

Pamela Anderson is not taking a break from activism while having fun in the reality TV show “Bigg Boss 4,” that’s being filmed in India. The actress has written to the Prime Minster, Manmohan Singh, asking that he ban leather products.

“I am calling on person in India and throughout the world to join me in rejecting all leather products in order to help put an end to animal suffering,” Anderson wrote. “I am asking every individual never to buy leather shoes, bags, jackets, belts or anything else made of animal skin.”

When Olivia Munn was having trouble with a “bitch,” she sought the advice of none other than dog expert Cesar Millan.

It wasn’t that Munn was in need of purchasing dog training classes or lessons in become the leader of the pack, she was just irate at the female animal activist sitting next to her who just wants to get rid of puppy mills.

Milan quickly gives Munn a lesson in behavior and viewers a lesson on how they should view puppy mills if they love dogs.

“Puppy Mills reflect the wrong way in America,” Millan begins. “If America is going to call itself a dog lover country, we must treat dogs humanely.”

DoSomething.org lists 11 facts about puppy mills. Most Americans would agree that housing dogs in crowded and unsantitary conditions that pave the way for illness and infection is no humane way to treat a dog. According to Do Something, “The average puppy mill has between 65 and 75 animals housed in hutch-style cages with wire floors. The waste drops to the ground below and accumulates beneath the cage where flies and other gross things fester.”

Ruff! Get ’em Cesar.

Oh, say it isn’t so!

Alicia Silverstone, vegan queen, cookbook author, blogger and activist, has admitted to occasionally cheating on her vegan diet by having cheese here and there.

At an EcoTools party, she told US Magazine, “If I was at a party and there was a tray of cheese sitting there and I had had drinks, then I might have a bite.”

“It’s human. It’s a really good reminder that sometimes you need to have what you remember is this good thing. Because then you have it, and you’re like, ‘Actually that wasn’t better than the recipes in my book.”

Portia de Rossi has revealed the moment it struck her that eating animals is way uncool.

As part of Oprah.com‘s collection of “A-ha Moments,” where celebrities reveal the moment something clicked, Portia said watching farm animals at play was enough to get her thinking.

“Since I was a kid, my family became vegetarians and I didn’t want to be left out so I became a vegetarian as well… That’s a lot of discipline for a kid to give up candy and all that good stuff… but I bounce back and forth. There are times when I’m a vegetarian, times when I’m a pescatarian. But I don’t eat meat… I’m still tempted… there’s so much that I love.”

—Janet Jackson, on trying to stay veg. Don’t know of any candy that contains meat, but for anyone with a sweet tooth struggling to stay vegan, did you know there is a list of accidentally vegan candy you may not even know you’re not cheating with?
