Vegetarian Star

Cameron Diaz is offering her tips for going green in her pal Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop newsletter.

The latest edition of the Get section features must have items for greening your lifestyle and Cameron has chosen Elizabeth Olsen’s Olsen Haus vegan shoes as one of her favorite accessories.

“These Olsen Haus shoes are vegan and natural linen; they are fun and sexy with a pair of skinny jeans,” writes Cameron. “I like them for walking around the city when I want to wear heels during the day but need to have a sturdy pair that I can move quickly in.”

The shoe featured in the newsletter is Sweet Kicks, shown here.

The current recipe entry in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop newsletter features a vegan B.L.T., or BLAT (Bacon Lettuce Avocado and Tomato) complete with her favorite mayonnaise substitute, Vegenaise.

Gwyneth says it best in the introduction to the recipe:

“This MAKE is for my no-dairy, no-meat, no-white flour (if you omit the croutons) loving friends who are looking for a quick, casual summer lunch. Proof that vegan food rocks!”

Yes, girlfriend, this sandwich does rock, and there’s a beautiful food porn picture of the stacked vegan goodness at Goop.com.

Gwyneth compliments that BLAT entry with un-Caesar salad-Caesar salad minus egg yolks and anchovies-and homemade rosemary and thyme croutons.

It’s all washed down with agave sweetened lemonade.

The best thing about veggie bacon is that it’s missing all the fatty sections that regular bacon has in it, so you get more “meat” in your bite. A good brand to check out is Lightlife Smart Bacon.

Okay, so she’s not addicted to the vegan lifestyle, but she does have addictions to one particular actress.  It’s more like confessions of a Gwyneth Paltrowaholic.

Leslie Bibb, who plays Alicia Billington, the rival to Isla Fisher’s character Rebecca Bloomwood, in Confessions of a Shopaholic, gushed over her admiration for Gwyneth Paltrow to the New York Post. Apparently, Gwyneth’s so cool, she’s a total tofu chicken winner dinner. Or something like that.

Leslie: Now it’s like, “Hey Gwyn, let’s talk about Kabbalah!” I still have a total girl crush though. That Gwyneth is a total winner, winner, chicken dinner.

PW: Ah, a Las Vegas lady!
Leslie: You know it’s from Vegas! Oh man, I’m sure Gwyneth would think I’m nuts for saying that.

PW: Well, she doesn’t eat chicken.
Leslie: [laughs] Of course, right, “I’m a vegan, I don’t get that joke.” OK, fine, you’re a winner, winner tofu chicken dinner! Better?

We know Gwyneth’s definitely not vegan. But oh, well.

We’ve never been called a winner tofu chicken dinner. It must definitely be a regional thing. Now we know how to compliment our Las Vegas fans.

Much love to you winner tofu chicken dinners.

Friends and family of Gwyneth Paltrow, including Coldplay hubby Chris Martin, have become concerned over Gwyneth’s new strenuous health regime.

“She is obsessive about everything associated with her body,” a source said.

“Even Madonna is concerned. Gwyneth has been studying body-cleansing in earnest. She’s read a hundred books and talked to lots of doctors and experts.”

Part of her “obsessive” routine is blogging on her website Goop about “exotic meat substitutes” like Vegenaise, the UK Daily Mail had reported.

First, Vegenaise isn’t an exotic meat substitute, it’s a vegan mayonnaise substitute. Second, what’s so darn exotic about it?

After checking out the website, our favorite, the Grapeseed oil variety, contains the following: Grapeseed Oil, filtered water, apple cider vinegar, brown rice syrup, soy protein, sea salt, lemon juice concentrate, and mustard flour.

Sounds pretty simple. No eggs. No dairy. No nine syllable preservatives you can’t pronounce. Not to mention gluten-free, kosher, and no GMOs. And zero of that cholesterol junk regular mayonnaise contains.

Soooo not that exotic. But still so good.

Gwyneth Paltrow is no vegetarian saint.

But while filming Spain…On the road again with Mario Batali, she did refrain from eating many meats, including ham.

And Anthony Bourdain thinks she’s such a bitch for doing so.

From Ecorazzi.com:

“While on a panel with fellow foodie Mario Batali at Seattle’s Paramount theater last weekend, Bourdain poked fun at Batali’s PBS series Spain… On the Road Again; which featured the chef and Paltrow on a culinary tour of Spain. “Why would you go to Spain with the one bitch who refuses to eat ham?””

Now we know how he really feels about Paltrow.

Jerk? Funny? A little bit of both?

Personally, we’d like to see Gwyneth be an even bigger bitch and refuse every animal.

Your mom probably made some good homemade cookies while you were growing up, but did you ever really thank her for it? Like, write her a personal song?

Alkaline Trio is a big fan of Danielle Konya’s Vegan Treat’s Bakery and their drummer, Derek Grant wrote a song expressing his gratitude.

“Vegan treats make me so happy. Eat them any time I feel crappy,” are just a few of the lyrics Derek croons on the song, Vegan Treats. You might want to take a listen yourself and judge if it’s Grammy material.

Danielle has catered not only to Alkaline Trio, but other celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow and AFI.

She gave an interview with altpress.com on the bakery, her famous clientele, and her motivations to be vegan.

What do you think draws musicians to your bakery?
I think maybe because veganism is like a magnet for an alternative lifestyle. I think lots of musicians are eclectic individuals. That’s my take on it. Or maybe, one musician has it and the others go, “We want some!”

How did the jingle from Derek Grant come about?
One of the guys [in Alkaline Trio] called me one night and was like, “We have a present for you.” I was like, “You do?” Then they told me to check my e-mail. They’re just really big supporters and they’re friends. They made a video of them devouring the cakes and stuff. So that’s how the whole thing kind of came about.

What motivated you to become vegan?
I was out to dinner with my family and I saw a lobster. It was a nice restaurant and it had a big, open kitchen; and I saw the lobster in the steamer and it was scratching to get out of the pot. It was the first time I saw an animal suffer tremendously [before it became] a meal. I had ordered some sort of chicken dish, and they set it down in front of me and I was like, “I can’t eat this.” I could never eat meat again

Mario Batali and fellow vegetarian hater Anthony Bourdain recently did a Q & A session with fans and one person asked Batali what he thought of vegetarians.

“Some of my favorite things to eat are vegetarians!”

Ha, ha haaaaaa, Mario.

Gwyneth Paltrow scolded him for eating baby animals during their culinary adventures in Spain…On The Road Again, saying it was bad karma to do so. Of course, given her phony vegetarian history (turkey burgers, anyone?) she didn’t have much room to talk, but good for her for selectively taking up for some animals.

Yeah, we’re sure there’s even worse bad karma for those who eat baby AND grass fed animals.

Finally, some Gossip Girl gossip that doesn’t involve whispering over steak. Almost.

Kelly Rutherford says she craves greens during pregnancy and loves to steam kale and chard. And it would be all great if that was the only thing she craved.

But since she does share a set with Big Mac loving Chace Crawford and orgasmic burger seeking Jessica Szohr, it would figure her cravings also involve having greens with organic turkey burger. Guess she’ll be calling upon Gwyneth Paltrow for some recipes. Eck!

But hey, green vegetables are a start. Especially when there’s so much talk in Hollywood about women craving meat while with child. 

Rutherford is expecting baby #2 any day now.
