National Kidney Foundation Celebrity Golf ClassicActress Alyssa Milano’s had her hands tied lately, juggling both a new ABC television pilot, Romantically Challenged, with her clothing line of baseball themed attire, Touch.

Alyssa is no stranger to the ballpark, becoming inspired to design Touch after experiencing frustration in not finding any cute outfits that displayed pride for her team in the baseball shops. She’s also no stranger to ballpark food, and says it’s definitely not the place for dieting.

“Part of the fun of a baseball game is actually pigging out on the concessionary food and throwing peanut shells on the floor,” Alyssa said, according to stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com. “I have four seats at Dodger stadium and after a game it looks like a tornado came through.”

Alyssa, being vegetarian, can stuff all the peanuts and popcorn down her throat at Dodger stadium, but if she visits any of the 10 Most Veggie Friendly Ballparks, she can pig out a lot more.

Philadelphia Phillies fans can munch on faux Philly steak sandwiches and crab-free cakes on their home turf at Citizens Bank Park. San Fransisco Giants in AT&T park can get even bigger scarfing down vegetarian pot stickers, Gardenburgers, and broccoli tofu platters. And the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field hit home runs with their veggie sushi.

T4 On The BeachSummer’s almost here. The sunny season marks lots of sunscreen, thongs, lemonade, and the F word. Uh, Gordon Ramsay’s F Word, that is.

The celebrity chef’s show, The F Word, follows Ramsay as he prepares three course meals at his F Word restaurant.

Rest assured Gordon will be doing much of his usual species slaughter during the show, including catching wild hogs and puffin, but at least one member of his celebrity cast moves away from the meat madness, if only for one episode.

Singer and TV personality Dannii Minogue whips up a lovely vegetarian risotto on episode 6, which is set to air on July 22nd at 9:00PM on UK Channel 4.

Gordon  may be open to the vegetarian dish, given the fact he’s expanding his horizons lately, agreeing to partake in a Reality TV show based entirely on creating plant based dishes.  Or he may critique it with his usual diatribe of profanities.

You’ll have to tune in and find out! Visit monstersandcritics.com for sneak previews of other F Word episodes.

Diane Keaton Can Have Chinese Chicken And Fake Meat It Too

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, May 21st, 2009 in Actresses, Business, Food & Drink.

15th Annual Women In Hollywood Event - Inside

Diane Keaton recently gave an interview with DesMoinesregister.com while eating a “Chinese chicken salad without the chicken.”

When you take the meat off salads with “meaty” names, you’re usually left with rabbit leaves-no dried fruit, nuts, beans or any other delicious additions a veggie salad would include.

Sounds pretty bland, but ’cause Diane’s veg, she had to get her salad sin pollo.

Wonder if she knows she can have her Chinese Chicken flavor and (fake) meat it too?

Famous veg Doc Dr. John McDougall has a line of soups out and one of his low sodium delights is Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup. A description from Rightfoods.com says, “Tasty sesame, ginger and green onions give this vegetarian Chinese Noodle Soup a delicious Asian flair. Only 1 g fat, 140 calories and 360 mg sodium.”

Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup, as well as every McDougall soup, is vegan and available on the shelves at your local grocery. You can also order online.

Poor Diane. Someone’s gotta tell her to ditch the rabbit leaves and go for the faux real Chinese Chicken next time.

Sarah Silverman Eats Only Veggie Meatballs?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 in Actresses, Comedians, Food & Drink.

Kevin And Beans April FoolishnessWhen we heard Sarah Silverman left the meatballs off her spaghetti, we cheered even though we didn’t think she was a vegetarian.

Now, some gossip has come in that Sarah has said she doesn’t eat meat and was instructing others how to heat up veggie meatballs.

A reader named Anon left us this tip:

“Sarah’s a vegetarian. She was on cam (on her twitter account) with her friend Steve Agee and confirmed she doesn’t eat meat.”

“Oh, this was while giving a cooking demonstration on how to heat veggie meatballs your mum makes for you, in the microwave.”

She must be rubbing her good food karma on Jimmy Kimmel (we think they’re together, you never know), seeing as he’s been totally putting down pork and other meat eating on his show recently.

We searched Sarah’s Twitter and found some mentioning of Steve Agee and a video channel, but haven’t found the broadcast yet, so we’ll treat this as gossip.

But we’ve got a feeling the news is coming out soon!

Erykah Badu performs at the 40th New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
There’s nothing like going to your hometown for a good vegan meal!

Erykah Badu and her family enjoyed some vegan grub at Spiral Diner in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas.

Badu was born and bred in Dallas and likes to stop by when she’s not touring.

It’s gotta be the food.

Silverstein’s Shane Told Tweeted about his love for Spiral Diner vegan brownies and ice cream.

In a world where LA and New York are the veg food meccas, it’s so cool to know the southern folk can get their vegan eatin’ on at a reputable place.

Heather Mills Debunks Vegan Myths At Brighton Foodie Festival

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Models.

Heather Mills Speaks At Viva! The Incredible Veggie ShowHeather Mills cooked up some tasty vegan recipes at the Brighton Foodie Festival this weekend. Heather recently joined Twitter because she said she wanted to share vegan recipes and “tell it exactly like it is,” and that’s exactly what she did when she spoke about veganism at the festival.

“They just think that it’s boring nut roasts and lots of hippy people who they think haven’t washed for months but they do, but that’s not what being vegan is about,” Heather said, according to the UK Daily Mail.

“It’s about being animal friendly, saving the environment and the planet. The biggest contributor of global warming is the consumption of meat and dairy, but of course they are not going to tell you that.”

Chef Heather (yes, we can officially call her that, now) gave audience members samples of leafy green and soy beefy stir fry, creamy sweetcorn chowder, and creamy nut korma with faux chicken.

The dishes were just a taste of what Heather plans to put on the menu at V-Bites, her new vegan restaurant in the UK.

Nicole Richie Insists On Organic Fruits And Vegetables

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, May 16th, 2009 in Actresses, Children, Food & Drink.

Esprit Santa Monica Grand Opening CelebrationLight years away from her past party life, Nicole Richie is living cleaner and healthier than ever.

She insists one-year old daughter Harlow and partner Joel Madden only consume organic fruits and vegetables. When she prepares meals for her family, it usually consists of lots of salads and vegetable stir fries.

Not surprising, considering Joel is vegetarian.

With Nicole’s new love of all things organic and veggie (she’s even growing her own organic, vegetable garden in the backyard of her home in Hollywood), and a man who doesn’t touch meat, will Nicole finally give in and go veg altogether? It surely would make things more convenient and healthier for the whole fam.

And there’s no better way to bring in expectant baby #2 in than starting it off with a plant based diet.

Best of luck to Nicole and her healthier adventures!
