Declare Yourself Rebirth of Citizenship Inauguration Kick-off Event in Washington

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi threw a big birthday bash for themselves this weekend.

Both ladies’ birthdays are very close together, Ellen turning 51 on January 26 and Portia turning 36 on January 31.

Lots of celebrities were on the invite list, like Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and her husband David Arquette, Drew Barrymore, Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Stiller.

A vegetarian meal was served, of course, and DJ Samantha Ronson, girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan, provided the tunes.

Yes, THE Samantha Ronson, who was upset because Californians voted to approve Proposition 2, a measure to improve the conditions of certain farm animals, but also voted to approve defining marriage as between and man and a woman only.

She had blogged about the results:

“I guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me.”

“Yes, i am glad that the chickens will have more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but i just think it’s frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow’s dinner than for the chef.”

“Yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married…”

Ouch! PETA wrote to Ronson asking for her support for animals just as much as they would continue their support for equal rights for gays and lesbians.

Ellen and Portia are both vegans, have expressed their concerns for animal rights, and were supporters of Prop 2.

Hopefully, if Sam continues to rub elbows with the happy vegan couple, some of that compassion might rub off on her.

John Cleese Meets Colin The Lemur At Bristol Zoo

Some of you were disappointed in our Barbie Orr/Kristine Reinhard posts. We got responses anywhere from “Who cares?” to “Take that crap down!”

But where would a celebrity blog be without posting something off color every now and then? And folks, there is a true vegetarian theme here!

Vegetarian John Cleese broke up with vegan Barbie by leaving a message on her answering machine after she blabbed all their intimate (or shall we say his intimate) details to the media.

A response to which she replied in a text message, “Look, at least it wasn’t a sex tape.”

Everyone went after Barbie (including us) after her true age was revealed to be 45 and not 27. Now Barbie is fighting back and telling people to give it a rest.

“I am a good, caring person, who does work for charity and looks after animals,” she told the UK Mirror. “I do not deserve this!”

You can view pictures of her own animals on her website.

The mob attacked Barbie for several reasons, including faulting her for exposing John’s personal life and lying about her age. However, we’d like to know why she felt she had to lie about her age to begin with.

If you look at her photos, you’ll see she’s quite an attractive woman, who’s lean, radiant, and healthy looking. Personally, we’d love to see Barbie capitalize on this and start talking more about how her vegan lifestyle keeps her looking great at 45. If she really wants publicity, she should pose for the famous organization that only works with women when they’re naked-PETA.

That’s right. Take it off, Barbie! Woohoo…Okay, back to seriousness.

Really Barbie, start talking about the vegan package and all of its health and beauty benefits just as much as you talked about John’s package.

Okay, enough of this. No more Barbie. Unless she decides to talk to us, of course. It’s time to start ragging on Skipper.

Barbie Orr-Kristine Reinhard Full Of Vegan Bull?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, January 24th, 2009 in Actors, Comedians, Couples.

A few days ago, we brought you the news of how Monty Python comedian and vegetarian John Cleese was dating vegan entertainer Barbie Orr, who claimed to be 27.

Just like people who eat only chicken claim to be vegetarian.

Turns out, Barbie Orr may be full of Barbie bull. Heck, why are we still calling her Barbie? An investigation made by the Daily Mail revealed her real name is Kristine Reinhard and records in the US, also obtained by the same news site, show she was born in 1964-placing her at 45.

Poor John put himself through so much, thinking he had to keep up with a 27 year old-hair plugs, extra vitamins, dental treatments. At least he didn’t have to buy any, ahem, enhancement apparatus, as Barbie/Kristine was very satisfied with that area.

A friend of Cleese told the Daily Mail, “It’s all very embarrassing for John. He’s a proud man, but he is also a sucker for a pretty face. I think a few of his braver friends have warned him to be careful, because nobody wants to see him being made to look silly.”

John has nothing to be embarrassed about. A 69 year old vegetarian who’s looking pretty darn good, hilarious, and in good health. If Heff can convince young women to adore him, we’re sure John will have no problem picking up another woman proclaiming she is young enough to be his granddaughter.

Just ask for a birth certificate next time, John.

Now, for the most important question: Did she lie about being vegan?

John Cleese’s Vegan Barbie Orr Impressed With His Package

AARP Magazine's Seventh Annual Movies For Grownups

John Cleese, the British actor most strongly associated with starting the Monty Python group of comedians, has a new much younger girlfriend who is, how should we say this, quite impressed with his goodies despite being an older man.

The 69 year old vegetarian has a 27 year old girlfriend, Barbie Orr, who happens to be vegan.

She says Cleese has the “package of a 19 year old” and she’s not talking UPS either.

“I can’t get into what he really looks like naked, but for an old guy, you know, they’re normally saggy down there, but he really has a nice package,” she told the UK Mirror.

Of course, you veg men out there know his great package has to be due to his diet, right? Even Barbie doll agrees, saying he “eats really well and he works out.”

Although there’s quite an age difference between them, Barbie is sure this will last forever. Or until he dies.

“I won’t have to break up with him and break his heart. I just have to go to his funeral!”

It might be awhile, Barbie. A plant based diet can make a man last really, really, long.

And not just in the bedroom.

Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi Aimed For Vegan On First Date

35th Annual People's Choice Awards - Audience

It’s been known for a few months now that Ellen DeGeneres has become vegan, but now her wife, Portia de Rossi, is opening up about how turning vegan has changed her life as well.

Neither of them were vegan when they met, but according to Portia, the couple made it a goal to cross animals off their lists after their very first date, according to Contact Music.

“When Ellen and I first got together I was wearing fur and Ellen was wearing very expensive Italian calfskin leather. She was giving me a hard time about wearing the fur and I said, ‘Why is a fox any more important than a cow?’

“We took that idea and went all the way with it. We are doing what we can.”

Last year, the menu at the couple’s wedding reception was completely vegan.

Nothing like a good woman to make a person change their ways. In this case, both members of the happy couple got a nudge from one.

Premiere Of

Shortly after the Madonna-Guy Ritchie split, we learned that Madge set forth some pretty strict rules about what the children could and could not do while visiting Guy, including only eating organic, vegetarian, macrobiotic food.

Now Guy is paying her back, but it might be the children who are suffering in the process.

As part of the deal for getting to crash at Guy’s UK mansion he previously banned her from, she must behave-no temper tantrums or bullying the staff. Fair enough. But she also must allow the children to eat a “traditional” Christmas dinner of ham and turkey!

For a parent who’s been insisting on organic, vegetarian food, this has to be her worst nightmare. Not to mention the possible physical reactions that might happen to the children when eating greasy pig and bird after months of eating wholesome, organic vegetarian food.

Not to worry, though. Madonna is already planning her next move. As soon as she arrived in the UK, a source said the first thing she did was met with her divorce lawyer.

It’s probably safe to say this Christmas dinner deal will be annulled by next year.

ABC Television Network Upfront

Add another Hollywood couple to your “split” list. Singer Michael Bolton and Nicollette Sheridan of Desperate Housewives, dated in the 90s-then split. They got back together and made plans for a wedding in 2006-but have split again.

We wonder if there was another woman involved. Like Mary, the little lamb.

A couple of years ago, a friend of the couple said that Bolton was trying to convince Sheridan to stop eating meat because “watching her eat a lamb chop grosses him out.”

Apparently, Sheridan began making changes to please her man, but it may not have been easy.

By the way, what is the best way to convince a Hollywood actress to change her diet?

“He convinced her that it will keep her caloric intake down.”

Ellen And Portia Fed Each Other Vegan Wedding Cake

59th Annual Emmy Awards - Arrivals

Longtime sweethearts Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi married in Los Angeles this past weekend.

“What can I say? I’m the luckiest girl in the world,” said DeGeneres to People magazine. “She’s officially off the market. No one else gets her. And now she’ll cook and clean for me.”

Perhaps that cooking will include more tempeh for the happy couple.

Although the two are not vegetarians, Ellen is rumored to have been one in the past and still very supportive about veg issues. Which may be why the two decided on having a completely vegan menu for the wedding reception, including vegan red velvet cake.

You can pick up a copy of People magazine this Friday to see more wedding pics!
