Vegetarian Star

Natalie Portman received a pair of vegan shoes from Indian designer Rina Shah for her 29th birthday, which happens to be today.

“I chose Portman for this because she has been a long-time supporter of animal rights,” said Shah.

“The shoes sent to Natalie are inspired by Cinderella’s glass slippers, adorned with Swarovski crystals.”

Natalie Portman has signed on with Parfums Christian Dior to be their latest spokes model.

According to WWD, this will be the first perfume Portman has represented.

According to some databases, it may not be the best choice for a vegan.

Uncaged lists Christian Dior as a company that either 1. openly uses animal tested chemicals or 2. fails to demonstrate that both a product and ingredients used have not been tested on animals since after a fixed cut-off date.

WJW Fox 8 “Hollywood and Dine” feature has Natalie Portman discussing how she’s getting into the local and slow foods movement, frequenting restaurants that use vegetables from their own farm.

The Mossman then makes an eggplant dish he thinks Portman would love.

Better hold off the cheese next time, considering Portman turned vegan for good after reading Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals.

What do Laura Bell Bundy and Natalie Portman have in common?

They both were involved in the off-broadway show Ruthless! The Musical.

Bundy played the role of Tina Denmark and Portman and Britney Spears were her understudies.

But Bundy and Portman had nothing in common when it came to food, as she told the Huffington Post, “We were actually good friends and had sleepovers. She was a vegetarian at 10 years old and I liked chicken on the bone. So we deferred a little bit in our eating choices, but we were very good friends, and we’d put on pageants and we’d make crank calls and we did all kinds of stuff.”

Any chance of Bundy calling up fellow country music ladies Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler and asking them to share a seitan recipe every now and then?

When Natalie Portman decided to launch her line of vegan shoes with Te Casan, she collaborated with Via Spiga creative director Paola Venturi.

Venturi had nothing but good words to say about Portman in an interview with Orange County Local News.

“She contacted me at the Te Casan company because she wanted to design a vegan shoe line. She fell in love with the brand and we started to work together on a small collection. She’s fabulous because she has a vision about fashion. She was really directional so it was easy to interpret.”

Unfortunately, some good things do come to an end, and Portman’s shoe line received the boot in 2008 bad economy.

The Independent has named their Best of Green and vegan actress Natalie Portman was chosen as the best green celebrity.

Although Natalie’s eco and animal friendly shoe line, Te Casan, was a failure, her successes in activism both through living and campaigning make her one of the best choices.

After being vegetarian for years, she finally made the switch to vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer’s book, Eating Animals.

Her work in Rowanda highlighting the lives of gorillas only further strengthens her resume as a advocate of animals.

Not only does Natalie care about her own source of food, but she has brought the issue of childhood nutrition to the spotlight as well.

As if her diet weren’t eco friendly enough, Natalie is making the resolution to travel carbon neutral.
