Cloris Leachman Trades Bacon For Lots Of Salt And Dressing

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 in Actresses.

88th Annual Installation & Awards Luncheon

Cloris Leachman and Betty White were having lunch, when Cloris, a longtime vegetarian, ordered a salad, asking the waiter to hold the bacon.

Apparently Betty’s not into dressing, but Cloris put more than enough on her salad to make up for Betty and all their grandchildren combined. Cloris also likes it salty, as USA Today wrote:

Leachman not only drenches her food in dressing, she asks for extra while shaking on disturbing amounts of salt and pepper.

We know how seemingly “healthy” foods can be made unhealthy by all the creams, sauces, and extra condiments placed on them. A bottle of salad dressing and a shaker of salt are just a few ways a good for you salad can turn bad.

Sure, Cloris could have been using fat-free dressing.  But other spices like pepper, garlic, and onion can add flavor to any food without the added sodium from salt.

Cloris’ salad is reminiscent of the vegetarian who eats only cheese sandwiches with gobs of mayo.

Maybe the lady who advocates putting down the cola and drinking juice should rethink her own habits.

Cloris has done more than her share of shaking on Dancing With The Stars. She doesn’t need to shake the salt shaker so much.

Cloris Leachman Juice Fast Cured “Cluster Of Maladies”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, May 10th, 2009 in Actresses, Authors, Food & Drink.

Cloris Leachman Book Signing And RecognitionCloris Leachman recently made an appearance at the Escondido Public Library in California to promote and sign her new book, Cloris: My Autobiography.

It’s known that the octogenarian has been a vegetarian for decades and Cloris revealed what prompted her to try the diet.

She was suffering from several medical problems that doctors couldn’t solve, including hay fever, asthma and insomnia. She started a juice fast, which cured her ailments, and the rest is veggie history.

The actress and Dancing With The Stars contestant is a strong advocate of the diet, posed for PETA for the Let Vegetarianism Grow On You campaign, and even chided a fan during her book signing for drinking soda pop.

“Quit, why don’t you?” Cloris admonished. “It will save your life. Start having juice.”

A commercial aired during a recent episode of Dancing With The Stars that made fun of PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaigns.

Here are a few of the cold, hard facts and statements about the dance television industry you should know about:

“Every year, hundreds are dancers are hurt senselessly in order to make dance television.”

“How many more mic pads do I have to land on?”

“How many more camera men will I run into?”

“I’d rather go naked than see another dancer hurt.”

Watch the video for hilarious satire.

Steve-O, born Stephen Glover, was known for pulling  dangerous junior high pranks on the MTV show “Jackass.” Now, he’s back on television, this time doing the rumba, waltz, and other dances with professional partner Lacey Schwimmer on the ABC television series, Dancing With The Stars.

And according to various sources, including his sister, Steve-O will be one vegetarian dancing with the stars.

Several reports from the web, like Steve’s blog, mention that he became vegetarian over the recent years.

He did an anti-fur ad for PETA back in 2007. If your memory fails you, here goes…

You can see why we chose the picture at the top to start the post off with. Save the PG-13 materials for later.

Hope Steve is sticking with his veggie diet. Wishing him best of luck on the show.

Jennie Garth, Peter Facinelli Kids Like Tofu

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 2nd, 2009 in Actresses, Children, Couples, Food & Drink.

11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards

Jennie Garth has an urban legend surrounding her much like Clint Eastwood did on his veganess.

The former “Beverly Hills 90210” actress and Dancing With the Stars contestant was recently interviewed by Energy Times, where she acknowledged the rumor, said she “hated eating animals,” but wasn’t a vegetarian.

“No, I’m not a true vegetarian,” she said. “I eat chicken and occasionally fish. I hate eating animals, but I have to get some protein in and the best way for me to do that would be to eat chicken or fish, although my kids eat tofu.”

“I don’t eat red meat.”

Hmm…You’d think that while she was sauteing tofu for the little ones, it’d be easy to fix herself a portion as well.

Heart disease runs rampant in the actress’ family and Jennie herself suffers from a leaky heart valve. While shunning red meat certainly helps her manage risk factors for heart troubles, there are numerous studies that show vegetarian and vegan diets prevent all sorts of diseases, including those that break the heart (physically).

Jennie is married to a “vegetarian vampire.” Her husband is Peter Facinelli, the guy who played Edward Cullen’s father, Dr. Carlisle Cullen, in the vampire movie Twilight

Wishing Jennie the best in managing her and her family’s health and hoping she has a tofu nugget or two to the replace the chicken ones she usually eats.

Take It Off Baby! Cloris Leachman Strips Down To Her Lettuce

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, January 11th, 2009 in Actresses, Reality TV.

Thalians 53rd Anniversary Ball - Arrivals

Cloris “Lettuce Leaves” Leachman, the 52 year old vegetarian actress and Dancing With The Stars Contestant, really gets into her greens.

Like Alyssa Milano, Cloris stripped bare-only to cover back up again with a blended red cabbage, beet, and iceberg lettuce dress for the “Let Vegetarianism Grow on You” campaign.

And she gets to drink a margarita while doing so!

“It feels comfortable and fits me too,” she told Access Hollywood. “You realize you feel wonderful…fresh, new, healthy. And you didn’t have to kill any animals to feel this way.”

She said that once you find out about something, you want to tell everyone about it. She feels people still “don’t know” the benefits of vegetarianism and they’re encouraged to eat meat by the meat industries and advertising.

Cloris has two strip shows, so be sure to watch Video 1 and Video 2.

Dancing With The Stars Cloris Leachman Shakin’ Her Veg Thing

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 9th, 2009 in Actresses, Reality TV.

2009 Pasadena Tournament Of Roses Grand Marshal Revealed

Dancing With The Stars contestant Cloris Leachman was an 82 year old who could strut, stride, and perform sexy moves with men young enough to be her great grandsons (she happens to actually be a great grandmother, by the way).

When viewers at home saw her on their televisions last season, they probably choked on their popcorn. But Cloris is about to give the recently passed 111 year old Californian a run for her money in longevity and she’s using the same weapon: a vegetarian diet.

Cloris has been a vegetarian for 50 years.

She said you “have to decide” to be young, and it appears she took the right path leading to the fountain of youth.  She’s no stranger to the screen, starring in shows such as “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

She recently served as the grand marshal of the 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade.

Young at heart, vegetarian, and she’s also scored lip smacks with some very younger men. Take a look at the cougar shots.
