Vegetarian Star

The votes are in and Kellie Pickler and Milo Ventimiglia were chosen as the Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities in a poll conducted by PETA.

PETA, being the equal rights organization it is, of course has a spot for the top male and female, but if you had to choose just one, who would you rather do…

Wow. Talk about calling a shot.

When we asked weeks ago if Milo Ventimiglia was the sexiest, fans across the nation answered our question with a resounding YES!

Milo was voted Sexiest Vegetarian of the Year in a contest held by PETA, along with his female crowned counterpart Kellie Pickler.

Milo does have an advantage, given the fact he was raised vegetarian since in utero. But Kellie made an honest effort to change her diet as an adult with a little help from fellow Idol alum and vegetarian Carrie Underwood and Pamela Anderson.

When Kellie found out she won, she had to do some googling to believe it!

On her Myspace blog, she wrote:

“On another note….I just found out that I was voted “Peta’s Sexiest Vegetarian!” How cool is that?!! Thank you so much for voting!! That was totally unexpected!! I was jumping up and down when I heard the news! I even googled it to make sure I wasn’t being punk’d! ha ha!! “

Did your favorite vegetarian star win? Should someone else be seated in the top spot?

Anoop Desai walked the plank on American Idol this week because he didn’t receive enough votes.

But just because he didn’t win American Idol, doesn’t mean he’s not being drafted by companies to be a spokesperson.

PETA India thinks Anoop would be perfect to front a campaign on getting pets spayed and neutered.

The group is  asking him to appear in a video supporting its Animal Birth Control (ABC) campaign to “implement humane methods of controlling companion animal populations in slums” in India.

Said N G Jayasimha, campaign manager of PETA India, to IANS:

“Anoop Desai is a huge hit in India because of being an Indian. He is an inspiration. There are sentiments of Indians associated with him and we want him to join the cause like previous ‘American Idol’ Vanessa Olivarez, Kellie Pickler and Ruben Studdard as well as judge Simon Cowell in using his celebrity status to help PETA help animals.”

“We want him to speak up for the dogs on the streets, as they really suffer a lot and need a voice. Though he is now out of the show, but he still has a huge appeal and fan following and we are hoping to ride on that,” he added.

Although we were hoping Anoop would follow his immigrant parents’ vegetarian diet, being an advocate for animals will keep him from being eliminated with our votes.

Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian recently used her E! television series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians to highlight the importance of being fur-free.

Khloe showed the video footage of fur farms that caused her to give up wearing another animal’s skin.

Awesome, that she’s using the show to spread the news!

She also talked about the experience stripping down to her bare booty for a PETA anti-fur ad, admitting it was hard getting naked at first, but in the end, she was glad she could partake in the opportunity to help animals.

Plus, it’s made her feel a lot better about her body.

“It really helped me be comfortable in my own skin,” said Khloe, who is also working on becoming vegetarian. “In turn, I really hope this helps animals keep their skin.”

Remember, you don’t have to put your naked self on a poster to be kind to animals.

There are plenty of synthetic fashions out there that are both cute and practical. 

And let’s not forget the fake furs celebrities like Kellie Pickler have been seen wearing.

If stars can look great in their own skin, so can you.

What is it with all these folks coming over to America and ditching their veggie ways?

First, we were saddened to learn that Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi slowly started to eat “bologna” and “pepperoni pizza” as a teenager, then progressed to full blown Hardee’s Bacon Western Thickburger spokseperson.

Now, we learn a finalist on this season’s “American Idol”, Anoop Desai, was “raised by family of vegetarian immigrants,” but assimilated himself to become a “typical American kid who eats typical American food.”

Uh-oh. And you know what “typical” is.

One of his family members said, “But he has a lot of discipline, and though he enjoys food greatly, we have never seen him overeat.”

Desai was a lucky man after being asked to come back to the show on a “wildcard” in a previously unannounced 13th spot.

Maybe if he wins, he’ll get back into the club with Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and the off the wagon, trying to get back on it Ruben Studdard.

Wow. Talk about what’s been happening “since she’s been gone.”

Kelly Clarkson is vegetarian now and has been one for about a year.

During a recent interview with Trent FM UK, Kelly’s interviewer was talking about his experiences in Amarillo, Texas, where the world’s biggest steak-72 ounces-is served.

Kelly said, “My friends have kind of disowned me a bit in Texas because I’ve been a vegetarian for over a year now.”

Don’t worry Kelly. Fellow Idol winner Carrie Underwood knows your pain.

“You can’t be a vegetarian in Texas,” the interviewer jokingly objects.

“I tried it and it’s been really great…So a 72 ounce steak might make me barf,” Kelly continued. “It’s so much better now. I feel better,” she added.

The interviewer concluded by pleading with Kelly to “eat some steak, please,” telling her she was missing her nutrients. Ha! Smart gal Kelly responded that “you get enough nutrients [from things] like beans and everything.”

We’ve got Kelly Clarkson, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, and off the wagon trying to get back on Ruben Studdard in the veg American Idol club. 

Kelly’s new album, All I Ever Wanted, is set to be released in March.

Listen to the video to hear the interview and Kelly talk about her fake red carpet smile. The vegetarian part of the conversation starts around minute 4:45.

We already know she’s a Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Fake Fur Girl, but “Don’t You Know” Kellie Pickler’s a Skinny Bitch as well.

The country music star and former American Idol contestant told That’s Fit she packed on almost 30 pounds in less than a year after going on tour with American Idol.

“We were always eating fast food on the road and having late night munchies,” she said. “I gained 28 pounds in less than a year!”

Kellie said she had to learn to “eat right,” and she did so by reading vegan authors Kim Barnouin and Rory Freedman’s Skinny Bitch, a book about the vegan diet and lifestyle.

“I appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show and we chatted about it. She told me about the book Skinny Bitch which was both really enjoyable to read and easy to understand.”

Kellie realizes the importance of following the skinny bitch diet as well: health. Although she lost her unhealthy excess fat, she realizes no diet will create a one size fits all body. She still has and loves her curves.

“I love my curves. No matter how thin I get, I always have my curves.”

Yes, we’re still talking about New Year’s Eve, but then again, we’re still paying off the credit card bill from Christmas.

If you watched Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, you may have spotted country singer and recently turned vegetarian Kellie Pickler wearing a faux fur coat.

The faux fur coat was confirmed to be from Cincinnati-based Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs, a company that really likes to fake it-from fake fur to fake leather to fake lambskin, every piece of clothing imaginable was created without harming any animal whatsoever!

Some argue that fake fur shouldn’t be worn because others might like the style and buy a real one instead. But if word is gotten out on all the lovely fake furs there are to choose from, perhaps a takeover will happen in fashion where the coats worn by models are as fake as their bosoms.

If you’re going to fur it, faux fur it!
