Vegetarian Star

The lovely and recently vegan actress Natalie Portman chatted with Stylist magazine for their recent January issue.

Nat discussed the disappointment of her fallen vegan shoe line, Te Casan.

“The company that makes them closed down,” Natalie said. “Nothing to do with my shoes, I hasten to add-but it was a learning experience.”

She explained she how she became vegan and why she continues to make the food decisions she does.

“Part of my reason for being vegetarian was because it practices respect and love for life all through the day, so three times a day, you make a decision to eat things that have not been killed.”

And author Jonathan Safran Foer helped push her to the vegan side.

“I have been a vegetarian for 20 years but I recently became vegan and that has more to do with the factory farming aspect and my friend’s book, Eating Animals [by author Jonathan Safran Foer], which was deeply disturbing.”

Natalie Portman appeared at the New York Times Arts and Leisure Weekend, wearing a slip dress from the Rodarte for Target collection.

Yes, that’s correct.

Natalie wore a Target dress with the price tag of only $39.99.

According to Glamour, this isn’t the first time Nat has been spotted in bargain clothing, as she wore a pair of $80 Aldo shoes at another red carpet event.

Who said vegan fashion was expensive!

Just Jared has profiled 10 celebrities and their pets, including Natalie Portman and her Yorkshire Terrier named Whiz.

The actress told PETA, “I am a very strict vegetarian. I just really, really love animals, and I act on my values.”

Natalie recently turned vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s book, Eating Animals and some celebrities, like Alicia Silverstone have taken veganism so seriously they’ve recruited their four legged family members into the diet club.

Portman and her pups might one day share the same meal together.

But hopefully, not the same bowl.

“A couple of books. The new Philip Roth called The Humbling and I’m reading a book a friend of mine wrote her experiences with surrogacy called Standing in Two Places. Her name is Ashley Dyson. I’m reading another book called Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer.”

—-Sandra Bernhard, on her current reading list, during an interview with autostraddle.com.

Eating Animals made Natalie Portman go vegan. Sandra has expressed an interest in getting there. Will Foer‘s book be the push Sandra needs?

Interview Magazine has named its pick for the 20 most beautiful people of the decade.

It was no doubt a tough decision, requiring committees of scientists, academics, legal experts and laypersons, but somehow Interview came to the conclusion that Natalie Portman is worthy of the title.

The Veg Star couldn’t agree more!

From Interviewmagazine.com:

“We’ve had her on our radar since she was the 12-year-old Lolita of The Professional. And somehow, her beauty has grown and grown over the past decade. Now 28, she’s won a Golden Globe, earned a psychology degree from Harvard, devoted her free time to social and political activism, and looked better than Demi with a shaved head. She’s even a vegan. Enough, really.”

Being vegan is great for your health, the planet and the animals, but can it really make you sexier?

Both Alanis Morissette and Woody Harrelson credit cutting dairy for making their skin smooth and Alicia Silverstone‘s beauty regime includes eating kale and swiss chard as much as daily moisturizing.

This New Year’s might be a great time to make the resolution to give veg a try.

Good luck on making People’s 50 Most Beautiful.

“Counter, Tagine — it isn’t really vegetarian, but it has great vegetarian dishes — Josie’s uptown, and Angelica Kitchen.”

—-Natalie Portman, at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, on her favorite NYC vegetarian restaurants.

Know who else digs Angelica Kitchen?

The faux meat is a gateway drug to vegetarianism bald star Moby, who said, “I’ve probably eaten there 2,000 times in my life.”

If you start now, you could at least hope to tie Moby’s record at Angelica.

Two veggie will rule the silver screens this Friday December 4 as Brothers, starring Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman, will be released.

Both have always been vocal about the veg life.

Tobey has asked Congress to put some vegetarian food in school lunches instead of the usual road kill meatloaf.

Natalie can’t stop telling people how great it is to be vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s Eating Animals.

She also couldn’t stop bumming food off Tobey and his chef during the filming of Brothers.

Between the two, who would you rather do…

Jake Gyllenhaal interviewed Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire to discuss their upcoming film, Brothers.

As mentioned earlier, Natalie bummed off Tobey’s vegan chef on the set and was able to enjoy delish meals like falafel while filming.

When Natalie mentions that someone told her Tobey ate chocolate on the set, Tobey has to defend himself.

“Hold On. I want to address this chocolate thing,” Tobey jokes.

“There is a rice milk chocolate–a vegan rice milk chocolate that I eat.”

Is Tobey talking about the numerous dairy free candy bars like Dark Chocolate Raspberry, Dark Chocolate Almond and Sweet Chocolate Creamy Sweet from Rice Dream?
