Vegetarian Star

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is doing everything she can to green the set of The New Adventures of Old Christine.

“Every light bulb is a compact fluorescent,” Julia told Mother Nature Network. “We have a big recycling program. We tried to get rid of water bottles last year and failed at it. It’s a tricky thing to do with a crew, but we’re going to try it again this year.”

Julia is an environmentalist who is active with the NRDC and the Environmental Media Association, and serves on the boards of Heal the Bay and Heal the Ocean.

But Julia hasn’t made one important move to protect the environment-she hasn’t yet gone vegetarian.

“I love vegetables— I should be a vegetarian, and I feel guilty saying I’m not,” Julia told Shape. “But I like meat and chicken.”

We’ve already give Julia the how to eat like a carnivore by shopping in the faux meat section lecture, so we’ll just suggest one final thing: Why not make the set of Old Christine greener by implementing a meat-free day of the week?

Gordon Ramsay, the man who joked he put his kids on a fence and electrocute them if they ever became vegetarian, is featuring a vegetarian challenge during one of the final episodes of Hell’s Kitchen.

This Tuesday, October 6 2009, the final four chefs will compete in a challenge to please hungry, finicky vegetarian children. The orders will come from Felix Light, a child who has portrayed the foul mouthed chef in comical videos.

From Fox:

“The final four chefs get a pep talk by a pint-sized version of Gordon Ramsay,Felix Light, and are then given the unique challenge of preparing 80 vegetarian entrees to serve to 80 hungry guests. The surprise twist is that the guests are 80 screaming and hungry kids, who don’t necessarily love vegetables! The kids get to choose the challenge winner, who will be rewarded with a fancy makeover from a Beverly Hills salon and a lunch date with Gordon at the world-famous Nobu. When dinner service begins, two contestants are pushed to the limit and fall apart on an all-new episode of Hell’s Kitchen airing Tuesday, Oct. 6 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HK-613) (TV-14 D, L).”

Felix Light does a good job of playing “Mini Ramsay.” Watch the clip below to see Felix protest a sausage that, in his words, tastes like “dogsh*t.”

Maybe Felix would find veggie sausages more satisfying?

If you’ve seen Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Einsenberg, you know that Woody gets his energy to run from the zombies by snacking on his favorite food of Twinkies.

In real life, Woody’s a raw vegan and regular Twinkies won’t cut it.

Just like Kal Penn had veggie burgers waiting for him at White Castle during the Harold and Kumar film, the directors on the set had specially made vegan Twinkies ready for Woody.

“They were actually edible for a guy like me,” Woody said.

Zombieland Twinkies were made from cornmeal and other vegan ingredients. This leads Woody to believe companies really can make healthy junk food if they put their mind to it.

“There’s a possibility that (manufacturer) Hostess could do a healthy Twinkie. It’s a thought.”

While they’re at it, can we get some vegan Ho-Hos too?

Green gossip website, Ecorazzi, has taken the moment to compile some of the greatest PETA vegetarian commercials made.

Like this one that recreates a porn scene where the meat eating men are impotent, but the vegetarian dudes could film all day.

Wait, doesn’t every PETA ad contain porn?

What’s so darn different about this one then?

Watch and find out and see the other top commercials that include pre rapper days Joaquin Phoenix and Alicia Silverstone at ecorazzi.com.

No your favorite Phish bass player didn’t get arrested, he just had some vegetarian dinner in Portland, Maine recently.

The Green Elephant Vegetarian Bistro couldn’t wait to post on Facebook that they had the pleasure of serving the musician.

“the green elephant vegetarian bistro Proudly served Mike Gordon of Phish this evening!!!”

We’re sure they wouldn’t mind serving you too if you walked in and ordered something.

For lunch, we suggest the Soy Meat and Herb Salad or Tofu Tikka Masala.

If you’re still not full, stick around for the dinner menu and try the Vegan King Oyster Mushroom Tempura or the Veggie Tuna Salad.

Want something to take home?

The Veggie Citrus Spare Ribs sound great for late night munching or the morning after.

Evander Holyfield has just announced he’s interested in helping the environment.

He told the Associated Press: “I guess I’m lean and green. I’m pretty much going to do all I can to fight against global warming. I’ll see what I can do to help and try to help other people who want to do the same thing.”

Part of those plans include turning an acre of his suburban Atlanta estate into an organic garden that can be used by youth and building a 40-acre solar energy farm on the same property.

Evander said part of the reason he’s embarking on green adventures is he’s recently gained some financial success and wants to give back.

Some of that financial success is from his recent Taco Bell commercials, like the one shown above.

We’re ecstatic that Evander is giving all his punch to the environment, but have to speak up and say the best way he can be “lean and green” is to go veg…and not eat from most of the Taco Bell menu.

Meat and all processes that go toward putting it from the farm to your plate has the greatest impact on the Earth’s health, and going for the refried beans burrito (does Taco Bell have lard in their beans) instead of the Nacho Crunch Burrito is the easiest way to reduce global warming.

To really “think outside the bun,” make one day of the week a meatless day, Evander. It might help you look prettier in that dress you’re wearing in the commercial, too.

Jeremy Piven either hasn’t learned a lesson or enjoys playing marine Russian Roulette.

Piven was spotted at Gibson’s Steakhouse in Chicago recently chowing down on a piece of whitefish, according to suntimes.com.

Seems he has forgotten about the mercury poisoning incident months ago that caused him to drop out of the Speed The Plow play production.

Earlier this summer, Piven claimed to be fish free for 10 months. Is it time to go back to rehab?

Whitefish is supposed to be considered lower in mercury than other varieties, but that’s only helping Jeremy, not the fish and other marine life.

Overfishing.org has suggestions for combating the problem of commercial and non-commercial fishing depleting the oceans such as limiting the number and type of fish captured.

We’ll go one step further and recommend Jeremy and other “fish eating vegetarians” to take the plunge into the veg ocean themselves-give up flipper completely!

Today is Gandhi‘s birthday, and if you look on Google.com, you’ll see the tech folks in Mountain View, California have chosen to honor him in a very special way.

Gandhi was a vegetarian for most of his life, especially as he grew older and became more spiritual.

Some of his famous quotes were about humanity and the treatment of animals.

Our favorite message from Gandhi would have to be the following:

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

How would Gandhi judge our nation today?
