Shamita Singha Likes It Spicy And Meatless

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 3rd, 2008 in Bollywood, Models, TV Hosts.

Miss India Earth 2001, Zoom VJ, and model Shamita Singha is causing quite a fire with her new ad for PETA. She’s lying in a bed of red chili peppers wearing nothing but…well, red chili peppers.

“I turned vegetarian when I was quite young because I realised that if I really love animals, then I can’t eat them,” she said in an interview with Petadishoom.

Not only does this model not eat animals, she doesn’t use products that are tested on them either.

Funny, we always thought habanera was one of the hottest peppers, until now. This one is definitely off the Scoville Scale.

Heather Mills Wants To Show Some Skin

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 in Models.

Farm Sanctuary's 2008 Gala

When a celebrity announces they’ll be getting naked for PETA, it almost isn’t news anymore. However, we are exceptionally proud of this latest gal for wanting to show her skin in the name of animals.

Heather Mills is definitely on the way up again after all that nasty press that has followed her over the past several months. Not too long ago, she donated a million dollars worth of soy meat to inner city children and now she’s expressed her interest in posing for one of PETA’s advertisements.

According to Hollywood Scoop, a source revealed what most of us already know: Heather is fanatic about PETA as well as other animal rights organizations.

“She is willing to do whatever it takes to get people to listen and stop abusing the rights of animals,” said the source. “She says she would love to pose for one of PETA’s campaigns.”

The good thing about Heather is, unlike some other celebs, we can’t imagine her making PETA or vegetarians fools after being caught swaying from the lifestyle.

Heather Mills donates $1 million worth of veggie burgers

Heather Mills has taken a lot of heat in the media lately from her divorce settlement from Sir Paul McCartney to charities claiming she owes them money to just not being very nice in general. But fortunately, for her and many children living in poverty, she’s making headlines for something good this time.

Mills will be donating $1 million dollars worth of vegan food to children of Hunts Point, a South Bronx neighborhood where many live in poverty. She’ll be making the donation in a ceremony tomorrow in Hunts Point Riverside Park, where she’ll be grilling veggie hot dogs and burgers for Hunts Point Alliance and is set to receive an honorary congressional award from congressman Jose Serrano.

Forgive us, for we have Eco-sinned as well.

We’ve been covering the veg beat in politics lately, including Obama’s desire to get more veggie for the children, Laura Bush’s organic obsession, and Chelsea Clinton’s vegan chef experience while she was in living in the White House. Lauren Bush, is the niece of President George W. Bush, but she really has more to claim to fame that this familial association. At the age of 22, she became a humanitarian with the U.N. World Food Programme, she’s launched an environmentally friendly clothing line, and she has been a vegetarian since the age of four! Most of us barely knew how to pronounce most of the food we ate then. The fashion model and designer basically made the decision after learning what she was eating was an animal. She tries to be as green as possible, but she’s not a saint. Watch the video to hear her reveal her “Eco-sin.”

Shamita Singha Never Uses Animal Tested Products

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 in Bollywood, Models, TV Hosts.

Shamita Singha is probably best known for being Miss India Earth 2001, but she didn’t rest on her laurels.

The model and professional wine-trainer is currently anchoring the show “Maximum Style” on Bollywood’s Zoom Television. She’s been active with PETA, and if you’re interested in reading her interview with the group, go here. “I have been an animal-welfare activist since school,” she told The Deccan Herald. “I never use animal-tested products.”

Although naturally beautiful, she still considers herself a fitness fanatic, eating lots of fresh produce and staying away from what she calls, “junk.”

She’s undecided about whether or not she wants to become the next Bollywood babe actress, but she’s open to the idea. Women will love her for her advice: She recommends dressing comfortably as long as you’re not sloppy and eating right and exercising while remembering that not everyone is supposed to be a size 0. If you’re interested in learning what else Singha is doing these days, read this story.

Brooke Shields: Vegetarian Gone Bad?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 in Actresses, Models, Not So Vegetarian.

The NBC Universal Experience

Brooke Shields is gracing the cover of Shape Magazine for October. Supposedly, she has 5 tips for staying healthy, fit, and happy. However, she made a comment that although she used to be a vegetarian, she eats meat now and it’s what her body thinks is right.

“I was a vegetarian for 15 years until I got pregnant. I just needed to eat meat. I believe you really have to listen to your body.”

We wonder what our favorite vegetarian models like Christie Brinkley would think of that comment. Better yet, we wonder what you guys think of that comment. Do you believe her body was telling her to eat meat? Or just eat better? What do you think about people who think switching back to meat will bring them better health?
