Vegetarian Star

The advantage of living in L.A. (besides all those great celebrity sightings) is that you can walk a block or two from pretty much anywhere and get good vegetarian/vegan grub.

Plus the restaurants have plenty of endorsements from celebrities, like Pamela Anderson. If ethnic cuisine is your preference, L.A. won’t leave you veg hangin’. And if you stop by Real Food Daily, you have a good chance of running into Tobey Maguire.

Sandra Bernhard says she likes to go a new vegan Thai restaurant near her home in L.A. But she can’t remember the name.

“It’s called Lotus something,” she told LA Weekly. “They have these vegan shrimp.”

Could she have meant Lotus Vegan?

If you do happen to be at an L.A. vegan restaurant, look for Sandra and her red vegan shoes and you’ll know your in a good place.

Sandra Bernhard knows how to get her vegan footy on!

During a chat with Graham Norton and Alan Cumming, Sandra immediately mentions that she’s wearing a pair of Stella McCartney’s vegan shoes.

The vegetarian actress and comedian has been making people laugh since the 1970s.

An interesting point is brought up during the conversation that Stella’s vegan shoe shop is located in a meat-packing district. Ha! What a way to make a statement.

They’re red, they’re flashy, but best of all, they’re cruelty-free. There’s a close-up of Sandra’s feet if you watch the video.

For some adult humor, be sure to check out Sandra’s shirt to see how she views a particular president.

“I ask you to do what I’m going to do and pardon a turkey this Thanksgiving. It’s not hard. Just eat something else (ideas here and here). Not someone else, because it doesn’t seem fair to spare a turkey and roast a hunk of pig or cow instead. If we can bow our heads in gratitude for our families, our friends and our big screen TVs, and then carve into a creature who lived a miserable life and died a horrible death, then our ethics are about as sensible as Britney’s parenting skills.”

—-Bill Maher, in an article that appeared in the Huffington Post last Thanksgiving season, asking President George W. Bush to pardon all turkeys. November’s just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about what Tofurky, Seitan Turkey, or maybe even vegan mac and cheese (if you’re a college student not going home for the holidays) you’ll be enjoying this Holiday. Whatever meatless faux bird you choose, feel good in knowing that you’re giving turkeys across the nation a reason to be thankful.

A couple of days ago, we introduced you to Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos. Turns out, after examining that website more closely, there are several other celebrity favorite recipes that also looked tasty. So we decided to bring them all to you in case you were too hungry to bother clicking more to go to the site. Enjoy!

Savory Broccolini With Garlic

Serves 6

3 bunchs broccolini
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Rachel Ray and Emeril better be watching their backs. Kevin Nealon might be waiting for them, ready to attack with his carrot sticks as he apparently knows how to cook a mean chickpea taco. There’s a recipe on Nutrition MD attributed to the Saturday Night Live and Weeds actor.

He once made fun of meat eaters by saying:

“I can’t wait for meal time when I can chow down on the decomposing corpse of a tortured animal. I like knowing that eating meat makes me four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.”

Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos

1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained
3 – 5 tablespoons salsa
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 dash cayenne pepper, or to taste
8 – 10 taco shells

In large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat.

Cook onion, celery, and green pepper until softened. Add chickpeas, salsa, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and cook until warmed. Mash chickpeas slightly with a fork for better texture.

Fill shells evenly with mixture from saute pan. If desired, top with any of the following: chopped tomatoes, shredded soy or rice cheese, low-fat guacamole, shredded lettuce, hot sauce, or salsa.

Whoopi Goldberg hosted the 62nd Annual Tony Awards this year with PureOlogy Serious Colour Care being the haircare sponsor of the event.

Pureology Products are marketed as both cruelty free and vegan and a source says Miss Goldberg was very excited to learn a product she was trying on that night, NanoWorks Shampoo and Condition, was vegan.

Although we are not sure if Goldberg is a vegetarian, we surely hope this excitement spreads into other areas of her life and she chooses more products that are vegan, green, and earth and animal friendly for her lifestyle!

Curb Your Enthusiasm and ‘Till Death’s J.B. Smoove says he’s vegetarian-most of the time anyway.

“I’m a 75% vegetarian. My wife has been vegetarian for years,” said Smoove. “We eat a lot of soy products.”

Smoove is also outspoken in environmental issues and hopes to get solar panels for his home.

“But that will have to wait awhile,” he added.
