Vegetarian Star

Although Tobey Maguire had convinced Natalie Portman to go vegan for awhile last year, from an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal in Interview magazine, Natalie gave hints that she still might do the dairy.

However, a recent interview with the La Times confirms Natalie is indeed vegan, thanks to reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s upcoming book, Eating Animals.

“There are certain things you can have different opinions on, but then other things, like torturing animals, [are] just wrong,” Natalie said and added she planned to become more outspoken on animal rights.

During the interview, Natalie was even munching on a soy cheese sandwich.

Ah, there’s no better way to show activism that by edible  example.

Natalie’s latest film, Kosher Vegetarian, premieres tomorrow October 16.

Kosher Vegetarian, starring Natalie Portman and Irrfan Khan, is set for release this Friday, October 16 2009.

In the film, Irrfan plays a strict vegetarian Gujarati man who falls in love with a Jewish girl, played by Natalie Portman.

Portman is a also a vegetarian in real life.

The film is part of a larger anthology, New York, I Love You.

“My character’s dilemma is that the woman who was once my wife, has now become a sanyasin, and he has to worship her,” said Irrfan.

“Actors all over the world are linked by a common craving for excellence. We’re all looking for challenges and glory. But with Natalie, it was very different. We constantly chatted, discussed one another’s culture and shared very warm vibes.”

The Associated Press has featured a story on the rising popularity of juicing, with the juice bar and cafe Liquiteria in New York City name dropped.

The establishment has a tabloid photo of Natalie Portman holding a bottle of Liquiteria’s cold pressed juice, which is extracted by chopping and pressing instead of spinning in a centrifuge.

Who knew Natalie was so juicy?

Liquiteria is located at 170 2nd Ave at 11th Street in NYC.

Speaking of hip hop music that Natalie Portman enjoys…She’s sure to like this one cause it talks about not eating meat.

Remember when we told you about Method Man‘s song Dis Iz 4 All My Smokers that has the vegan reference to it?

Here’s a little video and the song.

The vegan verse begins around minute 2:20.

Catchy song, but hey, all that smoke can’t be good for you, regardless of your vegetarian diet. Chill, Method.

We love veggie couples.

That’s why we’re overjoyed to hear that vegan Zooey Deschanel and vegetarian Ben Gibbard are expected to tie the knot this month.

From Page Six:

“A spy at the Bar Method ballet studio in Los Angeles says, “Zooey is in Belfast with James Franco and Natalie Portman” — filming Your Highness — “but will return at the end of September for her ceremony in Seattle.””

With Zooey and her sister Emily being vegan, and both Ben and his Death Cab For Cutie band mate Chris Walla being vegetarian, you know the reception will be filled with abundant veg food and may even be completely vegan.

Vegetarian and vegan weddings may be harder to plan if you have meat eating guests, but that’s no reason to back down. It’s your day, after all!

Warning: This post gets somewhat graphic. But it’s also hilarious.

In a chat with Jake Gyllenhaal for Interview magazine, vegetarian Natalie Portman revealed she liked listening to dirty hip hop music.

“Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance. Those are like my two favorite things, so combined … I’ve been listening a lot lately to ‘Wait (The Whisper Song)’ by the Ying Yang Twins, where the lyrics are like, ‘Wait ’til you see my dick’—which is just amazing because it’s whispered. [whispers] ‘Wait ’til you see my dick … ’ [laughs] Crazy. So I just listen to it like I’m a five-year-old, like, ‘Oh my god! I can’t believe he just said that!’”

Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang Clan, also a vegetarian heard of this and now is certain he and Natalie should make music together!

“When I read that, it was, like, ‘Oh, [bleep], she would love the [bleep] I got right here on this album!’ It was wild, ‘cause I remember her as the little girl in The Professional, and now she’s all about the wild [bleep].” Killah adds, “Yo, if you see her, give her my number. Tell her we gotta make some music together.”

A collaboration like this could get interesting.

At least the two will able to agree on snack food in the studio.

If you could pick any one celebrity to dress vegan, who would it be?

Obviously those fur wearing hags of Hollywood top the list.

Vegnews.com recently spoke to three vegan fashion designers, Inder Bedi of Matt & Nat, Elizabeth Olsen of OlsenHaus, and Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart of Vaute Couture on who they’d like to play dress up with.

Leanne of Vaute Couture answered:

“I adore Ginnifer Goodwin, and she has just reserved her own Vaute coat! This made my month. Next, I would flip to dress Ellen [DeGeneres]. To steal the immortal words of Sting, “Every little thing she does is magic.” For non-vegan celebrity, Audrey Hepburn is my all-time favorite.”

Inder would like to take his fashion stab at Natalie Portman and Madonna.

Emily Deschanel and Cameron Diaz are favorites for Olsen.

If you want to copy Ginnifer’s style, you can choose your very own Vaute coat online at vautecouture.com.

Has one of our favorite vegan actresses fallen to the scoop?

During an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal for Interview magazine, Jake asked Natalie Portman what her favorite food was.

Natalie said she not only loved “Carvel Ice Cream,” but there was no way you could make it any better.

PORTMAN: Well, I don’t think you can really improve upon Carvel ice cream cake.

GYLLENHAAL: I’m more Baskin-Robbins style myself.

PORTMAN: Oh really? I am so Carvel. Did I just bring us back to 1985 Long Island?

From the dialogue provided, it looks like Natalie was thinking back in the days…when she still ate dairy.

1985? Wasn’t she still sporting her training wheels while eating that Carvel ice cream?

What do you think? Is Nat milking the cow while she listens to obscene hip hop music?

We’d hate to think so, given the fact there are so many vegan ice cream brands out there.
