Pink and Carey Hart

Some parents name their children when they’re under the influence (of alcohol, epidural or whatever). Pink and her husband Carey Hart have decided to name their first child after the substance that causes tipsiness.

Pink told Access Hollywood, “My dad’s name is James, and my brother’s name is Jason. [Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey’s middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson – we like whiskey. That’s a no brainer.”

For those that worry about the well being of a child that’s named after alcohol, have no fear. Little Jameson is already on the cool list cause he’s named after vegan whiskey!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, November 29th, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Recipes.

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson has already given some love to the Indian dish tikka paneer, and recently she told DNA India there’s another dish the country reminds her of.

“When I think of India, I think of samosas…fabulous country, fabulous food. I love to eat and am so glad India has so many amazing vegetarian options; I had a fun time trying different things.”

When we think of samosas, we think of a delicately crisp crust pocket filled with spiced vegetables like potatoes, peas and onions, dipped in a tangy chutney like tamarind, cilantro or mango.

Samosa

Samosa. Adrião on Wikipedia.

“Tofu. I thought that was like touche. I didn’t know it was food.”

Snooki, on every veg’s favorite soybean curd. The topic of tofu came up on an episode of Jersey Shore when she, Sammi “Sweetheart” and JWoWW have a bite to eat at restaurant. Thankfully, JWOWW comes to the rescue and explains tofu is, “all-protein, it has no taste and it takes the taste of whatever.” JWOWW gets extra points as our sweetheart because she adds that it’s “good for you,” and doesn’t have any derogatory statements about tofu or vegetarians. A clip from the scene can be viewed below.

Katie Cassidy Vegan Lapse In “The Monte Carlo” Left Her Constipated

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 26th, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

Katie Cassidy

Katie Cassidy found out the hard way that the words “Let Them Eat Cake” should have been proceeded by “Give them some laxatives.”

“The Monte Carlo” star was filming in Hungary for the movie and had nothing but bad luck when it came to food. First, she discovered there isn’t much to eat there that doesn’t have animal products in it. Then, when it was time to shoot a scene involving eating, the director suggested she eat baked goods. The only problem was, like many movie scenes, it took several shots to get it right. And each time, Cassidy ate more cake. Constipating cake.

“I’m telling you, when you go from being vegan to eating cake like that, your bowels are frozen for probably three weeks!” Cassidy told George Lopez.

Fran Drescher

Fran Drescher is back with a talk show to celebrate that nasal accent we all loved and hated on “The Nanny.”

“The Fran Drescher Tawk Show,” is set to debut on Fox today.

The 90s sitcom star indicates one of the major topics she’d like to discuss is health, being a cancer survivor herself. Interestingly enough, veganism has sparked her interest as the medium in which people may be able to obtain better health.

“I’m not a vegan, but I’m curious about it,” she said, according to Fox News.

Vegetarian Star will suggest Fran read Living Vegan For Dummies, to get a glimpse of everything from nutritional needs, meal plans and tips for traveling and eating out.

What advice would you give to the vegan curious Drescher?

Billy Bob Thornton

Billy Bob Thornton is living in the Year of the Raw. Wait, isn’t 2010 the Year of the Tiger? Yes, but it’s Billy’s year to eat healthy in an attempt to balance other nasty activities he does like smoking.

Consuming a diet of what he describes as “beyond vegan,” the actor follows a strict raw diet of fruits, vegetables, and plant proteins, but he alternates that with eating “regular stuff.”

“Convicted Vegetarian” Web Cooking Show By Yves Veggie Cuisine (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 25th, 2010 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Videos.

Convicted Vegetarian is a new web-based cooking show on YouTube which features chef Vic, a biker and rock musician, demonstrating vegetarian recipes using Yves Veggie Cuisine products, which is sponsoring the shows. Chef Vic made the decision to give up meat after his children were born, but make no mistake about it, animal flesh is one of the few things Vic gave up for fatherhood.

Still retaining what we hope is a pleather jacket, long hair and earrings, Vic hosts a show that symbolized by a chef’s hat sitting on a skull and crossbone, breaking the stereotype of vegetarian men being docile, passive or wimpy.

Chef Vic has made corndogs with slaw, veggie burger dishes and the clip here is for vegetarian Thanksgiving stuffing using Yves Veggie Brats.

More episodes are available at youtube.com/convictedvegetarian.

Rachael Leigh Cook Likes Thanksgiving From The Can

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 25th, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.

Rachael Leigh Cook

Fresh isn’t how you describe Rachael Leigh Cook‘s preference for some Thanksgiving sides. Proof that vegetarians aren’t always stuffy foodies who refuse anything not made from scratch, Cook shared how she likes her berries.

“I’m a vegetarian. I’m all about stuffing and only canned cranberry sauce. If you can’t see a serial number stamped onto it, I don’t want it.”

Hey, there are worst foods you can eat from a can, like Barb-B-Q sandwiches. Eww! Plus, now’s a great time to mention some canned foods are actually better than fresh because the nutrients are more readily absorbed by the body.

Our pick for Cranberry Sauce is Organic Grown Right, available in either jellied or whole berry. Certified Organic. Not to mention Kosher. And check out their other products from the tin like butternut squash and pumpkin pie filling.
