Alyssa Milano heads home after dining out at the STK steakhouse in West Hollywood

Alyssa Milano and her husband David Bugliari were spotted having dinner at the Sè San Diego Hotel restaurant Suite & Tender.

According to PEOPLE, the couple, “kept their menu vegetarian, ordering roasted butternut squash soup, sautéed seasonal mushrooms and creamed spinach, but saved room for dessert, digging in to the eatery’s signature Suite & Tender cheesecake.”

It’s not known if David is veg like Alyssa, but at least they agreed to eat on the same side of the food chain that evening.

Nothing ruins date night like kissing a pair of beef smelling lips.

Do you have a non veg partner who forces you to eat salad at the steakhouse? Or do you drag the hunter to the organic natural foods cafe to show him what eating “raw” is really about?

Kirstie Alley Going Vegetarian For Animals?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Celebrity Tweets, Food & Drink.

Hollywood Film Festival's 11th Annual Hollywood Awards - Backstage

Kirstie Alley is one of those celebrities vegetarians loathe-she went veg, had a bad experienced and blabbed about it.

“I can’t tell you how much weight I gained being a vegetarian!” Kirstie said. “A vegetarian would probably be eating vegetables.”

You can probably guess from Kirstie’s statement she wasn’t eating vegetables.

But Kirstie recently expressed her desire to go veg again, this time partly for animal welfare reasons.

“I would love to become a vegetarian or at least eat very little meat,” Kirstie Tweeted. “The way animals are ofted is very brutal. I always struggle with this.”

Wow.

This isn’t just some Hollywood starlet trying tofu to take off the extra pounds!

Could Kirstie’s concern with animals raised for meat be the kicker she needs to learn the right way to eat vegetarian?

West coast vegans are jumping with joy now that one of the most popular and celebrity sought after bakeries has opened in Los Angeles.

BabyCakes LA opened its doors in California this past weekend.

BabyCakes LA is located in downtown Los Angeles at 130 East 6th Street (between S. Main Street and S. Los Angeles Street).

Offering vegan cookies, brownies, cupcakes, loaves and more, the bakery was founded in New York by Erin McKenna after she spent hours in her own kitchen formulating recipes for desserts her body could tolerate, given her numerous food sensitivities.

BabyCakes items are vegan, mostly organic and gluten-free.

Hmm…New York during the summer, sunny Cal during the winter.

It’s time to purchase an east coast/west coast time share.

MTV Real World Washington D.C.–Callie The Texas Vegan

MTV Real World XXIII Washington, D.C. Callie-the vegan from Texas.

MTV Real World XXIII Washington, D.C. Callie-the vegan from Texas.

It seems as if MTV Real World likes to cast with the idea to create the most diverse, yet dysfunctional household every season, ultimately leading to several of the reality TV stars feeling like fishes out of water.

This season’s mix of cast features Callie, a vegan from Texas.

Hmm…A vegan from the south.

Has Callie already experienced what it’s like to feel out of place?

From MTV.com:

“A free-spirit vegan, Callie has always felt a little out of place in her conservative Texas town, and she’s just chomping at the bit to break free and chase her dreams of becoming a photographer. In D.C., she hopes to find the kinds of outlets for her creativity that don’t exist in small-town Texas and make some new friends along the way”

Wishing Callie the vegan best of luck on the show and in pursuing her dreams.

Hope she keeps the Vegetarian Guide to Washington, D.C bookmarked on her Internet browser.

Little Red Riding Hood And The Vegetarian Wolf

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, January 3rd, 2010 in Books, Children, Food & Drink.

The True Story of Little Red Riding Hood

The True Story of Little Red Riding Hood

Children’s books are getting more progressive and politically correct these days.

The big bad wolf in The True Story of Little Red Riding Hood can now be vegetarian and skip the treat of human meat while Little Red searches for vegetarian recipes.

Sounds hilarious enough, but not everyone is happy with the rewrites of traditional children’s stories.

The Mail Online wrote an article titled, Children Won’t Digest Tales of Feeble Vegetarian Wolves, in which it stated:

“What is so staggering is the sheer audacity of the people who come up with these new versions. It’s like the trendy Anglican clerics who took it upon themselves in the early 1960s to knock out an ‘improved’ version of the King James Bible. Yet just as we allow our local vicars to get away with using the enfeebled modernised Bible, so we let bookshops get away with flogging emaciated versions of children’s classics.”

A vegetarian wolf is far from emaciated.

What better way to teach children about healthy eating (not to mention non violent behavior) than to have the villainous wolf eat vegetables and forgo flesh.

This wolf should be portrayed living longer than his other wolf neighbors, paying less out of pocket expenses for his health care and scoring more with the female wolves as he misses out on the effects of eating cholesterol and fat filled human meat that will ultimately lead to his impotence.

Oh, wait. This is a children’s book. Healthy body, less doctor visits, but no impotence.

Perhaps other renditions of classic tales have adulterated the originals.

But the big, bad vegetarian wolf and his broccoli should stay.

Kim Kardashian has announced she’d like to improve her diet in 2010.

“Just to spend a little bit more time with my family and my friends and to really kick it up in the workout department and to try to eat better, Kim told US Magazine of her New Year’s resolution.”I cannot get it together with eating. I eat way too many Oreos.”

Hopefully, she’s going in the direction of sis Chloe and trying to eat more vegetarian.

But it’s hard to imagine that happening while she’s promoting that darn Carl Jr’s chicken salad.

What happened to the tofu, veggie burgers and quinoa Kim gobbled up while filming her fitness DVD series?

Will they make a comeback?

Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Event - Arrivals

Mya went vegetarian to shape up for her Dancing With the Stars role this past season and lost 11 pounds while doing so.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t find the time to plan her meals to get enough protein and ended up going back to meat.

“My new year’s resolution was to be a vegetarian for six months out of this year,” said Mya, according to Us Magazine. “I did three months and stopped and then I’m almost done with my second three months commitment.”

Will Mya make the same promise to herself this year?

Will she go for the home run and do it for 365 days in 2010?

John Salley, Rory Freedman, Bob Harper Nutrition Tips

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 1st, 2010 in Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.

Los Angeles Premiere Of "Black Dynamite" - Arrivals

January 1st has arrived and that means the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine 21 Day Vegan Kickstart program has begun!

As mentioned before, there are several celebrities that offer tips for keeping up your resolution of going veg, like John Salley‘s advice on helping children make good food decisions.

“Adults influence kids’ eating habits. We have to improve kids’ eating habits—and re-educate adults about what is food and what is not food. People can have pizza and pastries without dairy products and eggs. They can have tofu mozzarella cheese or egg substitute and they should use agave in place of high-fructose corn syrup and refined whole sugar.”

Rory Freedman is also there to be the cheerleader in case you do cheat.

“If you slip up and get off track, forgive yourself. It’s okay to be imperfect and to make mistakes. Try to do better, that’s all.”

But with recipes like her Green Goddess pasta, it might be hard to even think about falling off track.

And Bob Harper wants you to examine what’s on your plate before asking why you feel tired and crummy every evening. And hopefully, put some of his black bean quinoa salad on there.

“When you pay attention to what you eat, it becomes easier to understand your relationship with food and how it affects your day-to-day life.”
