Vegetarian Star

Even if you’ve already watched and formed an opinion on the PETA ad NBC officials declared too sexy to show during the Super Bowl, you might want to have a look at Whoopi Goldberg doing her version.

On a recent episode of The View, Goldberg grabs her basket of cabbage, broccoli and other green vegetables and puts on a sexy show that’s almost too steamy for daytime television.

At last year’s Tony Awards, the comedian expressed excitement to try vegan hair products from PureOlogy  It’s no surprise she’d want to shake her stuff and show that everything’s sexier without animal products.

Super Bowl officials, it’s time to reconsider your decision. Whoopi’s ad is one that shouldn’t be nixed.

We featured a post earlier today on “Real Housewives” star Bethenny Frankel teaming up with Pepperage Farm foods to reinvent traditional party dips to healthier versions.

Here’s a video of Bethenny talking about two of the dips, Hummus and Blue Cheese. The secret ingredient to the hummus dip? Soy sauce!

Thanks to Scott for the heads up on the tip!

‘Veggie Love’: PETA’s Banned Super Bowl Ad
PETA is claiming that vegetarians have better sex and want to spread the news. But football fans will have to get this information elsewhere.

Their ad was rejected by NBC for the Super Bowl because it was deemed too sexy.

Some reasons included, “rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin,” a woman “screwing herself with broccoli.”

Wow! That is softcore veggie porn.

If PETA would cut some additional clips from the scene, it might be more suitable, according to NBC officials:

licking pumpkin

touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli

pumpkin from behind between legs

rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin

screwing herself with broccoli (fuzzy)

asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into vagina

licking eggplant

rubbing asparagus on breast

Sounds like if PETA makes all those edits, they’d only have 2 seconds of video left. The group is well known for its provocative attempts to promote vegetarianism and some say it only backfires as it turns people off to see woman treated as…well, meat.

PETA said the list made them blush. We’re just giggling like junior high kids that executives said “screw” in correspondence.

Watch the video and you call the shots. Is it too much for drunken, testosterone filled Super Bowl fans to endure?

Every body’s (well, not every body’s, as she’s losing the Who Would You Poll) veg detective actress spoke with Sprig.com about being green and how to get greener.

Emily Deschanel went to a high school that valued students’ green grades as much as their math and science G.P.A. She also shops at vintage clothing stores and wants solar panels in her home. Her number one green secret is being vegan.

Speaking of vintage clothing, here’s a vintage dress she wore to The Upfronts, a meeting with television executives, the press, and advertisers. She’s looks stunning! Oh, yeah. Who’s bringing vintage back? Em’s bringing vintage back!

Whether you like PETA or not, you have to admit they do have their own successful MTV/Vh1 channel thing going with all the celebrity PSAs they have recorded. You could probably do a top 10 countdown of “Best Of” every year if you wanted to.

The latest is done by actress and musician Daniela Sea, who plays the computer tech Moira/Max Sweeney on Showtime’s The L Word.  A quote from Daniela in her video:

“The meat industry doesn’t want you to think about all the animals they are torturing and killing. And they definitely don’t want you to think about all the diseases related to eating meat. Their only concern is making a profit. Along time ago I made a decision to quit eating meat and dairy products…”

You can head over to PETA’s site to watch Daniela’s video as well as enter to win an entire season of The L Word on DVD if you leave a comment describing your favorite vegetarian L word: Lunch.

Chi-Force

We’ve seen what can happen on reality TV when a vegetarian or vegan contestant can’t get the food they need for their diet.

But if anything like that happens on Vh1’s “Confessions of a Teen Idol”, vegan Eric Nies might not have a problem going hungry. It’s not like he hasn’t done it before.

The original MTV “Real World” star, who is now a life coach, once fasted for 40 days to raise awareness about obesity and world hunger, according to the Purium Health Products website.

Technically, it wasn’t complete fasting as he drank three to four energy drinks but abstained from solid foods.

Here’s a video of Eric and other former teen idols with clips from Vh1’s “Confessions of a Teen Idol.”

There’s a new cooking show on the Food Network hosted by Top Chef judge Ted Allen and every week some one’s going to get chopped.

Not literally, of course, it’s not a medieval cooking show.

On Chopped, contestants, or “cheftestants” cook an appetizer, main course, and dessert. They have 30 minutes to cook each course and must also use “mystery ingredients” in the courses. The chef who can’t reveal the mystery dish to be a delicious meal at the end of the show is “chopped” and sent home.

On the January 13th debut, Chef Summer was looking to show her vegetarian and vegan cooking skills. Instead, she got screwed (or shall we say strangled) by baby octopus.

Boiling octopus meat was not the most pleasant cooking experience for Summer and it may have been why she was the first contestant to be “chopped.”

Personally, we think it should have been Katie, a 21-year-old pastry chef, who thought green onions were “strange” and didn’t know what the heck to do with them.

Watch the Chopped promo video below.

Earlier today, we told you Christie recently unveiled her new “Got Milk?” ad at the Sundance Film Festival recently.

Here’s a video of her shooting for the ad, along with an interview with the vegetarian supermodel. When she’s having problems getting her kids to eat healthy, she likes to rename the foods to something fun. We’re sure she’s not using any names Stephen Colbert uses, though.

Speaking of milk, you vegans might have something to say about this.

Milk comes with controversy, both for animal rights and health reasons. Will there be a time when a Got Soy Milk? campaign gets going? Or Rice milk. Or almond milk. Who would you like to see wear a non-dairy milk mustache?
