Brendan Hines, the actor who plays Eli Loker on Fox’s Lie To Me, is going green all the way–eventually.

It’s taking some time to make the greatest green impact on the world by going vegetarian.

“I stopped eating meat,” Brendan said, according to mnn.com.

“I’m phasing it out slowly. I’m a pescatarian right now,” he added.

Guess it’s a good thing for Mother Earth that Brendan doesn’t like airports, saying they make him feel “crotchety” and he ages “about 50 years” when he’s flying.

Plus, when was the last time you got a gourmet veg meal on a plane trip?

IFP's 19th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards - Show

Are jokes that make fun of vegans funny or offensive?

At the recent Gotham Independent Film Awards, Chris Rock jokingly called vegan Natalie Portman a “salad shooter.”

Innocent enough.

Natalie responded with a look that could kill without a slaughterhouse.

Relax, Nat.

At least everyone knows where you stand on health, animals and the planet.

And Chris Rock has said much much worse things before.

Ginnifer Goodwin Vegan Mac And Cheese Cheating Heart (Recipe)

Prada Book Launch Cocktail at Prada Beverly Hills

Vegetarians are just like most other human beings, meaning that around the Holidays they will stuff themselves so much, you’d think a farmer was planning to make foie gras out of them.

InStyle magazine asked Ginnifer Goodwin what her Holiday “cheat” was and Ginnifer responded, “I don’t eat animal products of any kind, but I have a big problem with vegan macaroni and cheese.”

Who wouldn’t have a problem controlling themselves with a dairy free version of one of the biggest comfort foods on the planet?

Most homemade vegan mac and cheese will contain nutritional yeast, which not only adds that “cheesy” color, but brings out a rich and creamy taste.

This holiday season, try out this recipe from vegweb.com, Mama Koala’s Vegan Mac and “Cheese.”

Because cheating on dairy is always forgiven.

Natalie Portman Gives Ice Cream Alternatives (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Videos.

As you know by now, Natalie Portman recently went vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s new book, Eating Animals.

Nat was interviewed at the Gotham International Film Awards when she was asked how on earth she survives without her ice cream.

“There’s still Rice Dream and soy milk ice cream and occasionally if you can find ethically produced dairy, you can have it,” Natalie said.

How does a vegan get their ice cream fix?

Ha!

That’s like asking a veggie how she gets her protein.

Some seriously hot chicks once agreed to pose with Tamara Ecclestone for PETA’s campaign to end foie gras production  in The Naked Truth: Foie Gras Is A Recipe For Torture.

A huge victory for geese occurred recently when Selfridges dropped foie gras from its shelves.

But the practice of force feeding the birds until their livers swell up to 10 times the natural size to produce the delicacy unfortunately hasn’t been dropped from other supermarkets and restaurants.

Tamara has taken her clothes off in the name of animals for other campaigns, posing for an anti-fur campaign, wearing nothing but a checkered flag, referencing her father Bernie Ecclestone‘s Formula 1 Racing Company.

Meatless Mouthful: Kristen Bell Garbage Disposal Salad

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, November 30th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.

2009 American Music Awards - Arrivals

“If I’m home, it’s ‘Garbage Disposal Salad.’ It’s my most made meal that my mom taught me to do when I was in high school.” As the name states, there’s everything in there from greens, cucumbers and spinach to blueberries, grapes, black beans and cashews: “anything that gives it, for lack of a better word, a ‘meaty’ texture. So you don’t feel like you’re eating a salad.”

—-Kristen Bell, during an interview on her favorite meal to eat at home.

The Garbage Disposal Salad? Never heard of waste that sounds that delicious!

Annalise Braakensiek Gives “Love Lunch” To Almost Vegetarian Food

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, November 30th, 2009 in Business, Food & Drink, Models.

Pride Of Australia National Medal 2009

Australian model and actress Annalise Braakensiek says health is her number one priority and claims to be a “passionate vegetarian cook.”

She’s started her own organic food delivery service, featuring her recipes, called Love Lunch.

But a closer look at Annalise’s personal culinary creations reveals her favorite meals contain fish, fish and more fish.

“My favourite breakfast is tahini and tomato with fresh rocket from the garden, on organic spelt toast,” Annalise said.

Sounds okay. But here comes the seafood.

“Then for lunch I eat seasonally, so it depends on what’s in. Generally it’s a huge salad, tuna or tofu and Asian greens, or brown rice with vegies, copious amounts of organic green vegies. Plenty of fish. I don’t eat meat. I don’t eat wheat and I don’t eat dairy.”

No meat or dairy?

Annalise could almost be vegan if it weren’t for the flipper.

Not only is eating fish bad for the environment, as many species are on the overfished list, but as the old saying goes, vegetarians aren’t suppose to eat “anything with a face.”

As one commenter on the story at smh.com said:

“How can somebody eat “plenty of fish” and then claim they don’t eat meat? Fish are animals and their flesh is meat. They’re not vegetables!”

Congratulations on Annalise’s food delivery service.

Hopefully, she’ll give more love to lunches that are completely vegetarian.
