Vegetarian Star

Oprah Winfrey will host vegan Chef Tal Ronnen, author of The Conscious Cook today on her show.

Chef Ronnen helped design Oprah’s meal plans when she went vegan for 21 days and also played a huge role in developing the menu for Chrissie Hynde‘s restaurant, The Vegiterranean.

We have a special treat for our readers next week involving Tal, the conscious cook.

The annual VegNews Veggie Awards winners will be announced in the November/December holiday issue of the magazine coming out any day now.

Green gossip website Ecorazzi.com was able to get a sneak peek at this year’s winners and Ellen DeGeneres was chosen as favorite vegetarian celebrity by VegNews readers.

Ecorazzi’s take:

“We called this one back in June in our Top 5 Vegan Celebrities of 2009 — which was odd, because the year was only half-over and it would have been pretty embarrassing if she’d started taking diet tips from Hillary Swank.”

Will Ellen celebrate the award with a bellyful of her favorite vegan tacos?

View some of the other winners at Ecorazzi.com and find out which categories Twitter founder Biz Stone and actress/author Alicia Silverstone won.

Fearne Cotton walked into the Radio One Studios recently wearing this leopard print coat.

Sure, it’s probably cold in London, but we seriously doubt vegetarian Fearne is wearing real fur.

Or is she?

She admitted to indulging in Mulberry handbags that come in all sorts of leather varieties.

What do you think?

Is Fearne fur real or fur fake?

Larry King Live recently featured a segment that highlighted the dangers of consuming meat.

Bill Marler, attorney for Stephanie Smith, the woman paralyzed from the waist down after eating an e.coli tainted hamburger served on King’s guest panel.

“There are more Stephanies,” Marler said. “Grossly under calculated people who get sick…We’ve really gutted the ability for local and state health departments, CDC, to surveil food borne illness. There are a lot of Stephanies, a lot of Abbeys, a lot of Kevins-they just don’t necessarily get tied to a particular hamburger patty.”

Sad, frightening, and disgusting all in one.

There’s only one surefire way to monitor illness from eating meat-stay away from it! Grab a veggie patty instead.

Watch the clip for the entire segment.

Fearne Cotton admitted she has a fetish for handbags.

“Mulberry is my favourite handbag brand and I probably have 15 of them,” the self-confessed shopaholic admitted to Heat magazine. “I love their Bayswater bag – I’ve just ordered a new leopard-print one – and then a couple of those little Mables, some of their big carriers and some luggage.”

No one said you can’t indulge and consume your heart out every now and then, but should vegetarian Fearne really be picking up that Bayswater or Mables bag?

A search indicates many of the bags, if not all, are made from leather.

Besides taking an animal’s skin, the process that turns leather to a finished product involves toxic chemicals like formaldehyde.

Fearne should develop the shopaholic syndrome for vegan Matt & Nat handbags.

If you’ve ever watched The Biggest Loser and wished you could have your very own personal Bob Harper cheering you on your fitness goals, here’s your chance.

Bob and The Grain Council are giving you the opportunity to win a trip to LA to see Bob and have a one on one training session with the nationally recognized fitness instructor.

Bob says everyone should have at least 6 servings of grains a day, with three of those being whole grains.

“One of the main things I tell people is that you’ve got to get your fruits, your vegetables and your grains every day,” Bob told Thatsfit.com. “Every morning I’m going to have my oatmeal; I’m going to have my fruits. For lunch I have brown rice and black beans. I always have Melba toast. Melba toast seems like an old lady thing to eat but I’m getting my servings of grain from that. Then dinner is always going be plenty of vegetables because I’m a vegetarian.”

Be an old lady like Bob and get yourself some grains!

Put whole grains like barley, brown rice, buckwheat, bulgur, millet, oatmeal and popcorn on your next shopping list.

And enter the Grain Council contest from now until October 27.

For more information on grains, visit gowiththegrain.org.

About an hour left before the animal rights group, People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), launches their protest against Jay Leno and The Jay Leno Show.

PETA is upset because Jay recently gave props to McDonald’s, a fast food establishment that PETA says is still using cruel methods to slaughter its chickens.

PETA members will arrive in chickens suits at The Jay Leno Show studios at NBC Studios in Burbank at 3000 W. Alameda Ave. at 2:30 p.m.

Ironically, Jay’s musical sidekick, Kevin Eubanks, is a vegetarian.

By now you’ve already heard the scandalous story surrounding The Late Show host David Letterman, his affair with personal assistant Stephanie Birkitt, and the extortion fail by Robert “Joe” Halderman.

Since you can get that smut information anywhere else on the web, we thought we’d break to you an even bigger controversy surrounding David and Stephanie.

Stephanie would often hand audience members prizes during some of David’s quizzes like the “Know Your Current Events” featured in the video above, where she can be seen around minute 3:30.

Besides “Know Your Current Events”, Dave also featured Know Your Cuts of Meat, where an audience member was shown a piece of meat and asked to identify it.

Yes, that’s right. Slabs of loin, shoulder, rib and dozens of other parts full of animals that had been passed around and manhandled more than an intern on Capital Hill.

And don’t even get us started on the whoring of those future meat cuts known as factory farm dairy cows who, unlike other pimps, farmers are hoping to knock up so they can get more milk.

“Know Your Cuts of Meat” is definitely not our in our Fave 5 for Letterman skits and we’re hoping in the future audience members can be quizzed (or rather given the answers before the clip so they’ll always get them right) on something like “Know Your 7 Grains in Bread” or “Know Your Completed Protein Pairs.”
