Vegetarian Star

Joanna Krupa Playboy December 2009

Joanna Krupa is gracing the cover of Playboy magazine for the December 2009 issue.

The Dancing With The Stars competitor is looking hot and may be able to thank both genes and diet for getting herself on the Hugh Hefner bible.

Joanna follows a diet of what she calls “95% fishatarian” and says she feels great without the meat.

“If I have a strong craving for meat, I have a steak,” she said. “But interestingly enough my craving for meat is decreasing.”

While we’re proud of Joanna for cutting back on meat, but we’re afraid her fishy habits might harm both herself and the planet, as she admits to “indulging” in sushi.

“I indulge in sushi and salads and seafood dishes and – once in a while I allow myself also some French fries or pancakes.”

Joanna is compassionate–she’s already done an anti-fur ad.

Might it be too much to ask Joanna to give us our Holiday wish and go veg completely?

Don’t want her ending up with the Jeremy Piven syndrome.

Singer Mya lost 11 pounds after going vegetarian to slim down for Dancing With The Stars.

She’s one of the four celebrities still left on Dancing, but she’s abandoned the practices that got her so healthy and up to par for the competition.

“I am eating more protein now – I used to be a vegetarian!” she told OK! magazine.

Mya claims she’s craving carbohydrates and proteins–and that her meat-free diet was leaving her hanging.

“So I’m eating lots of chicken and beef. I splurge on carbs like mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, rice and gravy, bagels – the list goes on!”

This may make us not vote for Lady Marmalade.

You want carbs, Mya?

We’ve got your carbs!

Complex ones like whole grain pasta, oatmeal, bagels, and lentils.

And if you’re missing your chicken and beef, Chef Tal Ronnen would love to introduce you to the wonderful world of Gardein faux meats he uses so frequently in his cookbook, The Conscious Cook.

Mya may still dance like a 9, but we’re giving her diet performance a 6 today.

This week’s Dancing With The Stars was supposed to feature a chimpanzee as a guest judge.

However, after some efforts from Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, International Primate Protection League and PETA that included writing to executive producer Conrad Green, Dancing officials decided against airing the segment.

Like Paul Abdul, the chimp judge is out of a job.

But we hear he’ll be okay.

One piece of material sent to Green was a video about Great Apes in showbusiness made by Anjelica Huston.

Anjelica was also quick to speak out after Travis the Chimp died earlier this year when law officials had to kill him as he would not stop attacking and mutilating a friend of his owner.

“I sincerely hope that this tragedy will make people realize that great apes should never be kept as pets or exploited for films, television, or advertising,” Huston said of Travis’ incident. “Their lives are miserable from the day that they are taken from their mothers: They endure abusive training—usually beatings—until they are cast off to roadside zoos or meet a violent end, as Travis did in this tragic case.”

Best of luck to the unemployed chimp judge. We know he’ll find something better than show business.

Here’s a video clip of Karina giving her thoughts on using fur and explains how she felt after watching a tape of seals being clubbed.

“That’s cruel.”

Gotta admire PETA for their creative ways to display naked people.

Dancing with the Stars Karina Smirnoff is starring is this anti-fur PSA with a strategically placed arm of her dancing partner.

What would Carrie Ann and Bruno say about the style?

“I did wear fur, especially when I was little,” Karina said. “But there are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel.”

“You have a choice as an individual, you have a choice in the press, in the world, whether to make a statement that you do support killing animals or make a statement when you don’t. And you can still be as chic as you can possibly want to be.”

Dancing With The Stars premiers tonight between 8 and 10 PM EST on ABC.

Do you already have your favorite contestant in mind?

There are so many favorites to choose from, like Mya, who went vegetarian to get in shape and lost 11 pounds for the competition.

There’s also Kelly Osbourne, who, although rumored to be a flip flop vegetarian, attended the launch of Paul McCartney‘s Meat-Free Monday campaign to get people to reduce their meat intake.

Then there’s Joanna Krupa, who posed in this popular anti-fur ad.

Last year, a spoof PETA ad was recorded by the DWTS contestants, where some “facts” about the cruelties of the dancing industry were revealed.

Watch the clip below to view.

Kelly Osbourne has recently admitted she’s not the best of eaters.

“I have a terrible diet,” Kelly said, according to showbizspy.com. “Last night, I was eating Domino’s pizza because I had nothing in my fridge and I just got in and I couldn’t be arsed to go to the grocery store.”

We’re wondering if Kelly kept the pepperoni off that pizza.

She’s publicly stated she was a vegetarian in the past, but was then alleged to be seen partaking in turkey during a Thanksgiving feast.

Kelly recently showed her support for Paul McCartney‘s Meat-Free Mondays campaign-aimed to get people to go vegetarian once a week- by attending the launch ceremony.

Kelly can be seen on this season’s Dancing With The Stars, and she credits the show for helping her lose weight.

“Dancing is something that I have always wanted to do and the plus side is that I will lose weight and get super-toned,” she said. “I’m looking forward to that bit.”

Heard any news about Kelly’s diet?

Think she snacked on hummus and pita during her Dancing breaks?

Singer Mya went vegetarian to get in shape for her Dancing With the Stars role and lost 11 pounds, according to US Weekly.

“You have to get your rest, eat properly, rest, focus…it’s challenging,” Mya said, who cited becoming vegetarian as a way to “lighten up” to better shake her hips during the salsa.

“My weight may change after I stuff my face!” she jokes. “My weakness is the pasta and the rice!”

Wouldn’t it be great if the Grammy award winning R & B singer kept to her veg diet even after Dancing with the Stars is over?

She could join the Dancing veg alum club with Cloris Leachman.

Stuffing your face with pasta and rice are completely within our bylaws, Mya!
