Vegetarian Star

Woody Harrelson admitted that a woman’s advice to give up dairy cured his acne and made his face as smooth as a baby.

Apparently, Woody has been so excited about his beauty routine, he shared it with Alanis Morissette.

“I’ll never forget my friend Woody Harrelson telling me I needed to get rid of the dairy in my fridge to clear up my skin,” Alanis said. “He was right. My skin looks great now.”

Woody has quite an influence over the veg celebrities, as he even encouraged Alicia Silverstone to get naked more often.

Ahem…In the garden, that is.

Alanis changed her entire lifestyle after picking up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s Eat To Live, and says she now focuses on high nutrient foods like “fruit, nuts, collards, kale, and spinach.”

Alanis Morissette hosted a party for vegetarian cookbook author Anna Thomas recently, and the festivities included getting her hands down and deep into calcium rich kale.

Thomas is the author of Love Soup: 160 All-New Vegetarian Recipes from the Author of The Vegetarian Epicure, which was released in September of this year.

Thomas’s book contains recipes for a variety of soups, such as rustic leek and potato, minestrone, and tomato and fennel.

Love Soup, called “the most influential cookbooks in the history of modern vegetarian cuisine” by the Chicago Sun Times, is the handy guide you need for seasonal recipes to please palates at any party.

And it costs so much less than an appearance by Alanis.

“I like [deceased animal-rights activist and actress] Sandy Dennis. I like how both she and Doris Day not only fight for animals in a larger sense but also took them in at home. I was just looking at pictures of Billie Holiday and her dog. I like the thing, or at least the idea, of doing things for some other creature or person. It’s a very noble idea. I’m not sure it gets you anywhere, but I can kind of dig that domestic scene. I like how [comedian] Dick Gregory started out focusing on civil rights and became an animal-rights activist. I like how Alice Walker not only fights for civil rights and feminism – which is a difficult blend to pull off because it’s the whole divide-and-conquer thing; everyone’s always trying to pit activists against each other or make it seem like they’re fighting separate or conflicting battles – but she not only fights for civil rights and feminism but animal rights, too. It’s great.”

—-Nellie McKay, on her favorite activism icons, which of course, feature vegetarians, in an interview with headcount.org.

Nora Jones "The Fall"

Nora Jones has a new album coming out November 17 2009, The Fall.

Much like we brought you the vegan verses from Method Man‘s Blackout! Vol. 2, we’re excited to inform you Nora has the dilemma of choosing between a pothead or a vegan lover in Man of the Hour.

Though we were rooting for the vegan, we’re not entirely disappointed in the company she chose to keep–her album co star dog!

“It’s him or me/That’s what he said/But I can’t choose between a vegan and a pothead/So I chose you.”

You can never go wrong with a four legged date!

You outta know that Alanis Morissette has been following a mostly vegan diet after picking up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s book, Eat To Live.

Alanis recently interviewed with Health Magazine where she discussed her diet habits, including the fact she loves to put a pat of vegan butter on her popcorn.

“I love snacking on popcorn with balsamic vinegar, vegan butter, and all kinds of spices.”

Thank goodness Alanis has grown to enjoy good food, which is a stark contrast from her eating disorder teen years.

“As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic. I was a young woman in the public eye, on the receiving end of a lot of attention, and I was trying to protect myself from men who were using their power in ways I was too young to know how to handle. Disappointment, sadness and pain hit me hard, and I tried to numb those feelings through my relationship with food. For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee,” “I began recovering at 18, when a sweet friend confronted me.”

And like Woody Harrelson, Alanis discovered a vegan diet is acne’s nightmare.

“I rarely eat dairy. I’ll never forget my friend Woody Harrelson telling me I needed to get rid of the dairy in my fridge to clear up my skin. He was right. My skin looks great now.”

You can read Alanis’ full story in the December 2009 issue of Health magazine.

Joan Jett Barbie Doll. Barbie "Ladies of the 80s."

Finally, we can get that annoying Aqua song out of our heads and replace, “Life in plastic, it’s fantastic,” with “I Love Rock and Roll.”

Mattel is unveiling a new line of Barbie dolls in their Barbie Ladies of the 80s collection this winter.

Vegetarian rocker Joan Jett can be purchased now online and will be available in December of this year.

Barbie has been criticized for having a negative affect on girls’ self esteem, but we can’t think of a better role model than Barbie Joan Jett.

Not only does she practice healthy eating habits by choosing to keep meat off her plate,  she’s given her face and time to pro vegetarian campaigns and animal welfare organizations like Farm Sanctuary.

Now all Barbie Joan Jett needs is a sports car that runs on veggie oil and solar panels on her dream home.

It’s no secret guitar genius Orianthi knows how to handle the strings.

But did you also know she’s just as dexterous with the spoon, mixer and measuring cup?

“I love making pizzas from scratch,” Orianthi told IProng magazine, which she is currently on the cover. “I make the base and then I make the topping and everything. And then I love making vegan cakes, you know, just healthier kinds of things. I love cooking. It’s like a meditation for me.”

Orianthi  has a brand new album out, Believe.
