Vegetarian Star

If you keep up with the vegetarian celebrity news like we do, you know some of them have a tendency to flip flop between being veggie and eating meat, cough, cough, Anne Hathaway. So if you were in the business of predicting which celebrities would go veg/go meat/go veg, would you be a good forecaster?

Adam Kochanowicz, a vegan Examiner writer in Omaha, Nebraska thinks he can, and currently he’s got a “vegan pool” going, where he chooses which celebrities will go vegan and which will give it up, embarrassing vegans everywhere.

Jennifer Aniston, Matt Damon, and Barack Obama are all likely to go vegan. But Aniston is one who could potentially embarrass the vegans once she quits.

“Honestly, she seems like the kind of person to go vegan, eat chips and ramen, then quit and publicize how terrible it was,” Kochanowicz said.

A couple of celebrities predicted to give up vegan are Natalie Portman and Oprah Winfrey (ahem, once she goes back to vegan).

Oprah follows a new fad every other week, so although she might take up the diet and lifestyle again, there’s a good chance she’ll hear about something that gives her an excuse to give it up.

We’d have to disagree with Natalie Portman, since she seems like such an ethical vegan, making the decision to go vegetarian at a young age for ethical reasons as well. A Harvard graduate, Natalie is much too intelligent to be swayed that easily. Sorry, Adam. We think you’re wrong on that one!

Boo, boo, and triple boo!

We have recently learned that Anne Hathaway, the actress who told David Letterman she was “vaguely vegan,” seems to think being almost vegan means enjoying a hamburger here and there.

During a premier of Valentino: The Last Emperor, Anne explained that her clothing wasn’t fitting as well as usual, due to her burger splurge.

“I’ve been enjoying a couple of post-Oscar burgers. So I didn’t fit into a lot of the vintage stuff. I wanted to wear something that was a little bit more forgiving.”

While we’re hoping that Anne meant she was stuffing her face with veggie burgers, that’s probably not the case.

And just when we thought Anne had broken up with meat for good.

An affordable, ethical, vegan shoe? Get outta here!

Yes you can have your feet and vegan too with Beyond Skin, a company that specializes in completely leather-free, PVC-free (so eco-friendly too),  shoes at a price for which you won’t fork over an entire paycheck.

Vegetarian and vegan celebrities like Anne Hathaway, Chrissie Hynde, Emily Deschanel, Leona Lewis, and Natalie Portman have all found these to be suitable for their star-likeness, so you know you’ll be walking around in class.

A representative from Beyond Skin, Natalie, recently spoke to GirlieGirlArmy about the line.

Do you ever get tired of explaining why you create non-leather shoes?
We don’t always hammer home the fact we are a leather-free label, as we have found that it tends to turn non vegetarians off before you have even introduced them to the product.  We prefer to approach our sales with the aesthetic of the product first and the leather and cruelty-free element comes later.  It is however, incredibly important to open dialogue about why we do not use certain materials and educate people on the impact and the how’s and why’s.  Plus most importantly we are passionate about it which often has an important affect when people witness the sincerity of what we are saying.

What is your personal favorite shoe you have ever designed?  Why?
One of my personal favourites from our line is the Cherub shoe.  It is comfortable, quirky and has a retro feel with a contemporary shape.  I have them in red faux felt and everyone always asked about them whenever I trot about in them.

She said she ate meat while dating her ex now in prison boyfriend Raffaello Follieri because it was “easier for the lifestyle” at that time. Now Anne Hathaway may find it a little easier to keep up her “vaguely” vegan diet. 

The actress was spotted having a vegetarian sushi meal with new boyfriend Adam Shulman at M Cafe in Los Angeles.

The two met last year at a screening for Hathaway’s Rachael Getting Married movie.

Hathaway went vegetarian (again) last year shortly after her breakup with Follieri.

Shulman has starred in films such as The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning and appeared on television shows such as “The West Wing.”

Update 2/28/09: We are so sad to learn that Bar is NOT a vegetarian. Although a few sources said she was, as of now, we learn she admits to eating a cheeseburger and fries once a week. Boo! 

The rumored vegetarian model and girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio, Bar Refaeli, was spotted shopping with her man Leo at Whole Foods.

The two packed the groceries on the back of Leo’s motorcycle.

If case you’ve forgotten (but don’t see how you could have), Bar is the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit hottie.

Many of our favorite veg celebs have been spotted at Whole Foods (possibly picking up organic vegetables from China), including Milo Ventimiglia, Stella McCartney, and Anne Hathaway.

Erykah Badu joked it was so expensive to shop there, you had to have a record deal to do so. With the amount of money Bar rakes in from showing off her bod, it’s safe to assume recording artists and models can afford to shop there. 

You can view pic of Bar and Leo with their groceries at Popsugar.

Meg Cabot created the novel series “The Princess Diaries,” from which Disney snatched up and made two hit movies. She recently announced she’s retiring the “Diaries,” and has written the last book of the set. 

When turning books into movies, there’s bound to be discrepancies between the movie and the book, especially when it comes to portraying the characters.

Cabot’s books told a story very similar to the movie: an awkward girl named Mia who suddenly had to deal with the life of royalty, boy troubles, and a highly opinionated best friend named Lilly Moscovitz.

However, Mia from the novel series was a vegetarian who had “slips,” occasionally. Although she’s an animal rights activist who’s passionate about the environment, in the 9th book she becomes disillusioned, stops caring, and starts chomping (on meat).

Ironically, you could say that Anne Hathaway, who portrayed Mia in the movie, also had vegetarian “slips,” here and there, going from vegetarian to eating meat to almost vegan.

Hope your New Year’s party plans are coming along well and your crib is stocked full of veggie goodies for the big celebration. Every one’s doing a “best of” list for 2008, so it makes sense for us to bring you a few of our favorites, which were some of the most heavily trafficked posts this year. Drum roll please…

Honorable Mention: 111 Year Old Woman Attributed Long Life To Vegetarianism-Aida May was not a celebrity, per se, but she should be a role model to anyone who wants to unlock the key to a long, healthy life!

#5: Kellie Pickler Turned Vegetarian-With the help of Idol alum Carrie Underwood and PETA queen Pamela Anderson, Miss Pickler is now a part of the Idol veg club. Which is a good thing since Ruben Studdard has fallen off the wagon.

#4: Rachael Ray BOB: Rachael Ray’s newest cookbook, Big Orange Book, has an entire chapter devoted towards vegetarian food. She did this after listening to her fans on the road that demanded more of these recipes.

#3: Anne Hathaway Became A Quitter: After an on again/off again relationship with the veg life, soon after Anne dumped her con ex boyfriend, she picked up tofu again.

#2: Pamela Anderson Tries Vegan KFC: Pammie visited a KFC in her home country of Canada, which now serves a vegan faux chicken patty. It won’t make every one happy, but it is a significant step towards making vegan food available in mainstream restaurants.

#1: Heather Mills Donates A Million Dollars Worth Of Veggie Food To Charity: Because everyone deserves the opportunity to eat vegetarian food, regardless of socio-economic status. Heather did a wonderful deed by donating veggie burgers, veggie dogs, and all sorts of goodies-she even showed up at an event to grill some of it.

Anne Hathaway is gracing the cover of the January 2009 issue of Vogue magazine, discussing her new life and all the changes she’s made since ditching her currently behind bars ex Raffaello Follieri.

She said she ate meat while dating him because it was “easier for the lifestyle at that time,” but soon banished that quicker than a jury can say, “guilty.”

“I don’t eat anything with a face,” she said, referring to her new diet, which she discussed a few months ago on David Letterman. 

She also can kick your butt-she’s taken up kickboxing lessons with Hollywood fitness guru David Kirsch.

You gotta wonder what she meant when she said eating meat was easier for the lifestyle when dating Follieri? Did he insist on only stocking steak in his fridge?
