Vegetarian Star

“Linda McCartney sausages were my favourite. They’re much better than eating real sausages and you don’t have to contemplate half way through exactly what’s inside them… You can have them, a bit of fried bread, tinned tomatoes. Delicious.”

—–Simon Cowell, American Idol Judge, after he went on a vegetarian diet for a week. The King of Mean does have nice things to say every once in awhile. While Paula may have smiled and said it was their best performance, Randy would definitely have said, “Aw…those veggie sausages were alright, dawg!”

“Meat is dirty. I wouldn’t touch a hot dog without a condom on it.”

———-Bill Maher

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.

“I became a vegetarian out of concern for animals, but I wasn’t a vegetarian long before I realized there’s something to that. I don’t think I would have worked for the past five years probably were it not for my vegetarian diet.”

———–Bob Barker, retired gameshow host of “The Price Is Right” and an advocate for spaying and neutering pets.

Several celebrities made an appearance at a fundraiser for Prop 2— a California state ballot measure that would outlaw confining crates and cages used in the factory farming of hens, veal calves and pregnant pigs. The measure is sponsored by the Humane Society of the U.S., Farm Sanctuary and other animal welfare groups.

Moby showed up to perform and Tobey Maguire put his two cents in as well.

“To me, it’s a no-brainer,” Maguire said. “I’m a near-vegan. I eat like a vegan.”

Ellen DeGeneres and her new wife Portia de Rossi were supporters as well, Ellen emphasizing that the move isn’t about taking care of animals, “It’s just making things a little better for them.” If you remember, the two of them provided their wedding guest with a completely vegan feast, including vegan red velvet cake.

Nicole Lapin

Nicole Lapin is a young journalist who anchors CNN.com Live and has appeared on CNN Headline News, CNN, and CNN International. She decided to go into the field after her parents banned her from watching coverage of the Gulf War because they thought it was too negative. What a way to rebel!

She attended Harvard University at only the age of 15 and eventually became valedictorian of her journalism class at Northwestern University.

She’s a vegan, but says no one would ever notice, as she’s not the picky type and can turn almost any situation into one that feeds her and suits the vegetarian lifestyle.

“I’m a vegan. But, no one believes it because when you’re out in the field, most of your meal options involve meat with a side of something fried. But, I’ve learned how to be creative and improvise and can eat anywhere — even a steak house or a gas station.”

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.
