Bethenny Frankel hooked up with Ellen DeGeneres on her show to demonstrate making vegan cupcakes with vegan cream cheese frosting.

“I always try to do the vegan thing first because it is healthier,” Frankel says. “And you feel good about yourself.”

Frankel feels a little better about herself for shunning refined sugars and flours as well. Instead of white flour and white sugar, Bethenny opts for raw sugar and oat flour.

“It’s not a racist thing,” Frankel jokes. “Go against white–when baking.”

Not to mention many white sugars aren’t technically vegan, as these are often processed with animal bone char. Other Frankel suggestions include making your cupcake portion sizes like A cup breasts versus D cups. You’ll have to watch the clip for that full explanation.

Why is it a good idea to stay away from white when eating? Dr. Michael Roizen of the Cleveland Clinic, explains.

Back in April 2010 when she helped the Postal Service launch a pet adoption awareness stamp series featuring adopted animals, Ellen DeGeneres vowed to make the year even more friendly to shelter animals by donating one million meals to them if enough people bought the stamps.

That goal was reached just before Christmas last year.

“We are thrilled with the success of the campaign and the incredible number of supporters who helped us to achieve this goal,” Halo’s CEO Steve Marton said in a press release. “It’s our mission to make a real difference for pets.”

A total of 100 different shelters benefited from Halo’s and animal lovers’ generosity.

Here are a few of the top vegetarian stories featuring the famous and those who rose to fame because of their stance on food, animals and the environment.

10. The Apprentice is vegetarian. Brandy Kuentzel ran an eco-friendly cupcake truck before she was hired as Trump’s leading business lady. She revealed to us during an interview that she’d love to host a show with her best friend about all things sustainable. That show can’t come soon enough as we need some anti Paula Deen sausage segments on daytime.

9. A vegan baker wins “Cupcake Wars.” Chloe Coscarelli showed the world vegan is tasty. Very tasty. She won the war on the Food Network with her recipes for Ginger Nutmeg Spice with Date Caramel Drizzle, Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake, Crème-filled Chocolate Orange with Candied Orange Peel, and Raspberry Tiramisu.

8. Bob Harper invites “The Biggest Loser” contestants in home for vegan meal. Yum. Everybody was a winner on that episode, including Harper’s fans, who could download the recipes from his website. Harper showed America one of the best ways to lose weight healthily without sacrificing good grub.

Ellen DeGeneres has voluntarily “killed herself” by not Tweeting until enough funds are raised for a campaign to draw awareness to HIV/AIDS and find a cure.

The vegan talk show host gave her last Tweet, urging her followers to visit KeepAChildAlive.org to donate to the cause.

“I’m logging off Twitter to raise money for Keep a Child Alive. Pledge here to bring me back to life!”

Several celebrities are participating in the event, including Kim Kardashian, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga, leaving a total of almost 30 million followers on Twitter without updates until $1 million is raised for the charity that Alicia Keys initiated by signing off her Twitter account.

The official video for the campaign can be viewed below. Visit KeepAChildAlive.org for more information and BuyLife.org to make a donation.

The only thing better than an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving is an Ellen DeGeneres vegan Thanksgiving catered by her personal chef Roberto Martin.

Like she’s done in the past, the daytime talk show host welcomed Martin to her show recently to demonstrate some vegan recipes for the holidays. Martin made a roast from seitan, vegan mushroom gravy, mashed yams, cranberry sauce and vegan pumpkin cheesecake.

The recipes for the roast, yams, and cheesecake are available from Ellen’s website.

Martin says the pumpkin can easily be substituted for berries for those that don’t find the orange fruit tasty in the cheesecake recipe.

Watch Martin roll and slice a perfectly shaped loaf made with wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, breadcrumbs and several spices in the video below.

Ellen and Portia, one of the most famous celebrity couples, will be hosted by animal rights activist Karen Dawn during her annual Thanksgiving feast in Pacific Palisades.

Already given the luxurious treatment of a hairstyling, spa and relaxing in the lounge, Ellen and Portia, named after DeGeneres and De Rossi, are two turkeys Dawn rescued from an LA slaughterhouse that will eventually live with her at her sanctuary, Gentle Barn.

“Thanksgiving has now become the most fun holiday of the year. And while yes, I do this, in part, to send some serious messages, the main message is simply: how much more fun is turkey day, when the turkeys are alive and well?” said Dawn, in this interview.

Portia de Rossi has revealed the moment it struck her that eating animals is way uncool.

As part of Oprah.com‘s collection of “A-ha Moments,” where celebrities reveal the moment something clicked, Portia said watching farm animals at play was enough to get her thinking.

“We had four cows and two calves and, after a few months, we took in a four-year-old Canadian Warmblood mare named Diva,” De Rossi explained about just moving in with her now wife, Ellen DeGeneres.
