Vegetarian Star

Oprah has been in the news lately, talking about her weight gain of 40 pounds, saying she’s “embarrassed,” by the situation and “mad at herself.”

In her January issue of “O”, the magazine in which she always appears on the cover, she writes, “I’m mad at myself.  I didn’t just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me.”

Sounds like she could use the help of some vegan Skinny Bitches!

Someone needs to remind O that a vegan and vegetarian diet is not only healthier, but can help you shed bad fat all while reducing your chances of developing obesity related diseases like diabetes.

She been here before. Last spring, on the advice of author Kathy Freston, Oprah, went vegan for 21 days as part of a detox and cleanse routine.

So come on, O! Take the sunglasses off and stop hiding in shame. Come back over to the veg side!

Not only would Oprah say see ya to the extra 40, but she could finally end years of yo-yo dieting as being vegetarian and vegan is about a lifestyle-not a prescribed formula for eating.

Not to mention she could finally grant Alicia Silverstone her wish and do a naked ad promoting vegetarianism.

What’s with the wiki and other sites lately? Yes, we know they’re not law, but really, there’s been some wacky incorrect facts floating around.

First, we learned that Clint Eastwood is not only NOT a vegan, but had to have the definition of one explained to him, which resulted in a look of horror resembling a pet that knows it’s going to be spayed or neutered.

Now, we’re learning that Pauly Shore, actor best known for hosting MTV shows, is one of the falsely accused as well.

An excerpt from a recent interview with Memphis Flyer:

I heard you were a vegetarian. Is that true?

No. I love steak once in a while, just very rarely. I need my protein. I’ve got to stock up, you know.

So are you going to munch on some Memphis barbecue while you’re here?

Oh, I don’t know. I’m kind of sketchy on barbecue right now. Like, the whole ribs and shit, it’s kind of hardcore.

Hmmm. Since Pauly says he eats steak every once in awhile, but “whole ribs and shit” is hardcore, maybe he’s a flexitarian?

Update Wikipedia, update everyone. And keep your computers on standby ’cause you’ll probably be updating again soon.

There are foodies. And then there are fanatical foodies. When you love vegan hot wings so much, you have them Fed Ex’ed from Chicago to Burbank, California, you qualify for the latter. But hey, when you’re Ellen Degeneres, you can Fed Ex whatever you want.

Ellen ate at The Chicago Diner while filming her show in Chicago a few months ago. She liked the BBQ vegan seitan buffalo wings so much, she had the restaurant Fed Ex more when she got back to California.

Ellen even considered flying the restaurant’s pastry chef out to California to cater her and Portia’s completely vegan wedding.

Those of you in the Chicagoland area know what we’re talking about!

The Chicago Diner, which has a slogan of “Meat free since ’83,” is a completely vegetarian and almost vegan restaurant located on the north side of the Windy City. You can get anything from Radical “Reuben” sandwiches with seitan to BBQ Bacon Cheese “Burgers” to tofu scramblers to roasted vegetable lasagnas.

Nope, flying Chicago Diner vegan buffalo wings from Chi-Town to Cali ain’t a bad thing at all. It’s definitely better than flying truckloads of bacon from England to Italy.

Ellen DeGeneres went to Sin City to film her upcoming show on TBS, “Ellen’s Even Bigger Really Big Show,” which will air on November 29th.

It’s a followup to last year’s show “Ellen’s Really Big Show.” and features various performing acts in different genres, such as comedy and music.

She may be happy that what she eats stays in Vegas, cause it doesn’t look like she had a lot to choose from.

She jokingly said that one of her “favorite” things to do in Vegas is eat at buffets because now that she’s vegan, she just eats the salad and gets a bargain.

The UK based music talent search competition, “X Factor,” has some judges on the panel who know how to judge a good diet when they see one.

Danii Minogue, follows a strict organic diet that excludes meat and dairy. And fellow judge Cheryl Cole also follows a mostly vegetarian diet, but eats seafood here and there. For Cole, miso soup and edamame beans have the X factor.

If you remember us telling you, Simon Cowell, king of judging mean and creator of “X Factor” (along with creating the popular series “American Idol”) once tried a vegetarian diet for a week and reported he could not get enough of Linda McCartney’s vegetarian sausages.

Move over Oprah. You’re not the only one who can give out cool gifts to your audience members who just happen to plan their trip to Chicago during the right week.

The divas at the daytime talk show, “The View,” Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sherri Shepherd treated their fans in the audience on Wednesday to a $150 gift card to ebags.com to pick out a Big Buddha Handbag.

Big Buddha’s bags come in a variety of colors and styles, but best of all, some of them, like the Bonnie Bag are VEGAN, made with synthetic PVC to make them look like leather.

Sigh…If only you could plan a trip to Los Angeles at the right time.

“I ask you to do what I’m going to do and pardon a turkey this Thanksgiving. It’s not hard. Just eat something else (ideas here and here). Not someone else, because it doesn’t seem fair to spare a turkey and roast a hunk of pig or cow instead. If we can bow our heads in gratitude for our families, our friends and our big screen TVs, and then carve into a creature who lived a miserable life and died a horrible death, then our ethics are about as sensible as Britney’s parenting skills.”

—-Bill Maher, in an article that appeared in the Huffington Post last Thanksgiving season, asking President George W. Bush to pardon all turkeys. November’s just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about what Tofurky, Seitan Turkey, or maybe even vegan mac and cheese (if you’re a college student not going home for the holidays) you’ll be enjoying this Holiday. Whatever meatless faux bird you choose, feel good in knowing that you’re giving turkeys across the nation a reason to be thankful.

“You ask people why they have deer heads on the wall. They always say, because it’s such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother’s attractive, but I have photographs of her.”

—-Ellen DeGeneres, who recently announced she has become a vegan. That vegan red velvet cake at the wedding must have really won her over!
