International CTIA Wireless Show Held In Las Vegas

Twitter Co-Founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams announced a side project for Twitter last year–making wine.

The company is making both California Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir under the wine label “Fledgling” and donating the proceeds to Room To Read, a non-profit organization supporting literacy programs around the world.

Having a drink with a fellow vegetarian like Biz would be the greatest pleasure, especially considering he’s already done his research on how to stay vegan and tipsy.

Biz told Winespectator:

“You can find wines that are not filtered through isinglass [or egg whites]. One of our board members recently had us over for dinner and selected wines that were all vegan. That was thoughtful … We’ve been to Spain a bunch of times. We have a lot of fun getting tapas in a veggie format. This past New Year’s Eve, we decided to stay home because I’d done so much traveling. We made a bunch of tapas and drank cava.”

Don’t forget to check your favorite wine against the vegan friendly wine list and follow the progress of Twitter’s Fledgling wine label @fledgling.

Vegetarian Star on Twitter

Kim O’Donnell at Trueslant compiled some of the best vegetarian/meatless people, groups and organizations to follow on Twitter and yours truly is included as one to watch.

@vegetarianstar “Meatless news and updates with an eye on celebs and an appetite for gossip”

There are, of course, several other meatless Twitter users that are equally exciting, resourceful and important to follow.

Vegetarian Star has handpicked just a few from O’Donnel’s list you might want to consider.

@MeatlessMonday A public health education campaign in conjunction with Johns Hopkins University. Encourages a meat free day once a week for better human and environmental health.

@MeatFreeMonday A UK-based campaign, founded by Sir Paul McCartney and his daughters Stella and Mary that focuses on eating less meat for the environment.

@bryantterry Author of “Vegan Soul Kitchen,” Bryan Terry taught us to take the butter out of homemade biscuits and add plenty of greens to our diet.

@IsaChandra Vegan author Isa Chandra Moskowitz, who’s brought us books like “Vegan with a Vengeance” and “Vegan Cupcakes take over the World.” With menacing titles like these, it’s not very smart NOT to follow her.

@AliciaSilv Author of “The Kind Diet.” Actress Alicia Silverstone Tweets her thoughts, ideas, product recommendations and more.

@TheFlexitarian Can’t go veg all the way? New York chef, cooking instructor and award-winning author Peter Berley Twitters will keep you abreast on making it work the flexitarian way.

@biz Although not included on Trueslant’s list, who can forget that the co-founder of creative expression in 140 characters or less, Biz Stone, is also vegetarian.

13th Annual Webby Awards - Inside

The best part about Twitter is getting to update about the good grub you’ve devoured.

Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, recently did this about a homemade meal his wife cooked.

“Wow, @Livia just took her homemade vegan lasagna out of the oven — I’m hungry!”

Here’s the finished product.

This puzzle us, because last time we checked, Biz was a vegan.

Is that soy cheese on the lasagna?

Ellen DeGeneres Favorite Vegetarian Celebrity VegNews Poll

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 16th, 2009 in TV Hosts.

36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards

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.
