Vegetarian Star

It’s been known for a few months now that Ellen DeGeneres has become vegan, but now her wife, Portia de Rossi, is opening up about how turning vegan has changed her life as well.

Neither of them were vegan when they met, but according to Portia, the couple made it a goal to cross animals off their lists after their very first date, according to Contact Music.

“When Ellen and I first got together I was wearing fur and Ellen was wearing very expensive Italian calfskin leather. She was giving me a hard time about wearing the fur and I said, ‘Why is a fox any more important than a cow?’

“We took that idea and went all the way with it. We are doing what we can.”

Last year, the menu at the couple’s wedding reception was completely vegan.

Nothing like a good woman to make a person change their ways. In this case, both members of the happy couple got a nudge from one.

But Gwyneth Paltrow did too, so we’re not sure how much of a compliment this is to newly vegan Ellen.

Parade Magazine has compiled a slide show of celebrity vegetarians and vegan Ellen DeGeneres made the meatless cut.

Before Ellen even turned vegan she was huge supporter of animal issues, such as Prop 2. She also recommends eating organic and local.

Other celebrities featured include honeymooner Woody Harrelson, Paul McCartney, and Alicia Silverstone.

Some of Parade’s readers think the list doesn’t best represent Hollywood’s vegetarians, and notables like vegan Natalie Portman are absent.

Even Gwyneth Paltrow is still winning veggie trophies, much to some readers’ dismay. As one person commented on the site:

Gwyneth Paltrow is not a vegetarian. What vegetarian would discuss cooking a turkey on Thanksgiving?! Which she did on her website.

Ah, nothing quite like the truth.

“Veganism is no longer a health or ethical issue, it’s also an environmental issue.”

—-Ellen DeGeneres, during her show where she not only gave away vegan bags by designer Matt & Nat, but shirts, pants, and a $300 gift card to Alternative, an eco-friendly clothing company.

The ladies of The View have some catching up to do.

On the 4th day of Christmas, my Ellen gave to me, a Matt & Nat bag that was cruelty-free.

Wow! We should be recording Bing Cosby classics.

Vegan talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, celebrated the holidays this year by featuring a segment on her show called “12 Days of Giveaways,” where she gave the audience several presents such as a Blu-Ray disc player, espresso machines, and a vegan bag from Matt & Nat, the company with bags named after vegetarian actress Jorja Fox.

Watch the video below where she jokes that a video tape has been released of her in a “private moment,” before she makes the big announcement of what’s being given away that day.

Jennifer Aniston threw a holiday party for a few friends this weekend at her new Beverly Hills mansion. Oh, and did we mention these were her veg friends?

Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi, along with Tobey Maguire and his wife Jennifer Meyer, joined Jen for the housewarming party on Sunday where catered vegan food was served to please Ellen and Tobey.

Other guests brought treats, such as cakes and cupcakes, but Jen made sure her vegan buddies weren’t left hangin’.

Aniston’s latest film, Marley & Me, is set to hit the theatres on December 25th, and also stars actors Owen Wilson and Eric Dane.

There are foodies. And then there are fanatical foodies. When you love vegan hot wings so much, you have them Fed Ex’ed from Chicago to Burbank, California, you qualify for the latter. But hey, when you’re Ellen Degeneres, you can Fed Ex whatever you want.

Ellen ate at The Chicago Diner while filming her show in Chicago a few months ago. She liked the BBQ vegan seitan buffalo wings so much, she had the restaurant Fed Ex more when she got back to California.

Ellen even considered flying the restaurant’s pastry chef out to California to cater her and Portia’s completely vegan wedding.

Those of you in the Chicagoland area know what we’re talking about!

The Chicago Diner, which has a slogan of “Meat free since ’83,” is a completely vegetarian and almost vegan restaurant located on the north side of the Windy City. You can get anything from Radical “Reuben” sandwiches with seitan to BBQ Bacon Cheese “Burgers” to tofu scramblers to roasted vegetable lasagnas.

Nope, flying Chicago Diner vegan buffalo wings from Chi-Town to Cali ain’t a bad thing at all. It’s definitely better than flying truckloads of bacon from England to Italy.

Ellen DeGeneres went to Sin City to film her upcoming show on TBS, “Ellen’s Even Bigger Really Big Show,” which will air on November 29th.

It’s a followup to last year’s show “Ellen’s Really Big Show.” and features various performing acts in different genres, such as comedy and music.

She may be happy that what she eats stays in Vegas, cause it doesn’t look like she had a lot to choose from.

She jokingly said that one of her “favorite” things to do in Vegas is eat at buffets because now that she’s vegan, she just eats the salad and gets a bargain.

Several celebrities made an appearance at a fundraiser for Prop 2— a California state ballot measure that would outlaw confining crates and cages used in the factory farming of hens, veal calves and pregnant pigs. The measure is sponsored by the Humane Society of the U.S., Farm Sanctuary and other animal welfare groups.

Moby showed up to perform and Tobey Maguire put his two cents in as well.

“To me, it’s a no-brainer,” Maguire said. “I’m a near-vegan. I eat like a vegan.”

Ellen DeGeneres and her new wife Portia de Rossi were supporters as well, Ellen emphasizing that the move isn’t about taking care of animals, “It’s just making things a little better for them.” If you remember, the two of them provided their wedding guest with a completely vegan feast, including vegan red velvet cake.
