Vegetarian Star

A study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association showed that people with eating disorders were more likely to have tried vegetarianism at one point in their life.

British journalist Giles Coren read this and decided to use the study results to support his rant about vegetarians being “pale, boring, vain and flaky” with the title of his article in the UK Times Online reading, “Do a pig a favour! Ban vegetarianism now!”

Yeah, that’ll do pigs a favor.

“Vegetarianism is a cry for help. A sadly transparent attempt to exercise control over your body, which you feel the need to do for psychological reasons of which you are probably unaware.”

“Don’t mind me,” they say when they come to your house for lunch. “I’ll just have the vegetables.” And you think: “It’s immaterial to me what you put in your mouth, darling, because I can tell from the state of you that you’re going to be in my downstairs bog with your fingers down your throat in half an hour, spraying whatever you’ve pecked at all over the Armitage Shanks.”

“Meat tastes good. It carries vitamins and minerals with a unique efficiency that is critical to the maintenance of a healthy life. And it gives pigs, quite literally, a reason to live.”

Regardless of what the study found, doesn’t Coren realize that people with eating disorders will often try dozens of tactics to lose or keep weight off? It makes sense that a vegetarian diet known for keeping its followers slimmer than their cheeseburger eating peers would be on their list of diet “to dos.” 

Coren says, “Vegetarians never love food. They merely tolerate it.”

It’s a safe bet that most vegetarians love food. That’s why it’s so great they can eat more of it, given the fact it’s usually lower in fat and calories. There’s a reason there’s a market for vegan sweets, too. It’s because sometimes apples just don’t cut it for dessert. And there are plenty of vegan gals who can outeat the guys in cheeseless pizza.

Someone call Olivia Wilde and tell her to challenge Giles to a 33 pancake eating contest. Giles will be much too flaky to tolerate it.

Spoiler alert. If you didn’t watch this week’s episode of House, you might not want to read this.

Resident Lawrence Kutner, played by Kal Penn, tragically killed himself. So why did the Fox network writers need to take Kutner out? That’s because Penn’s leaving to work at the White House!

Penn worked on the Obama campaign last year and was offered a job as associate director in the White House Office of Public Liaison (OPL). From tv.yahoo.com:

“Growing up I always had two interests and two passions, one being public service and the other being arts and acting, so it’s always been on my mind, I always try to engage in different public service projects, and in the last 18 months having had the opportunity to serve on the Obama campaign, I certainly started thinking about that possibility…”

“What they [OPL] try and do is take the administration itself out of Washington, so they go into communities across the country, continue the sorts of dialogue people had started during the campaign and basically ensure that a bunch of citizens’ views about their elected officials, about their government are all happening and that they’re working effectively.”

Pennsylvania Street is far from Hollywood and so is the pay rate. Although Penn won’t be bringing in movie star bucks, he’s excited and grateful for the opportunity. 

While this is wonderful news for Kal, it’s a little sad for House fans, especially considering there’s one less vegetarian on the show. Kal leaves behind Lisa Edelstein, Olivia Wilde, and Omar Epps to share a veggie pizza during long days on the set.

Kal played Kumar in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. At the end, where Harold and Kumar ate White Castle burgers, Kal bit into veggie burgers instead.

Jared Leto was spotted hanging out at LA hot spot Bardot and enjoying some late night vegan grub!

A source said the actor and rocker, “chilled in the lounge with a couple of buddies.”

If you recall us telling you, Leto played the role of spider rescuer at a party for Proposition 2 that Olivia Wilde attended. When a huge, black spider was aiming for musician Moby’s head during his performance, Leto didn’t hesitate to rush in and, instead of killing it, place it back on the ground.

Speaking of bars, how easy is it to find good vegan grub there? A bar in Hollywood may be more likely to have vegan fare, but everywhere else? Have you been able to find good veg food at 2:00 AM to munch on while you sip your vegan Heineken?

Olivia Wilde, star of Fox’s TV series House, made an appearance recently on the Ellen DeGeneres show and announced she’s a full vegan!

We had teased Olivia in the past for being “mostly vegetarian” but still eating fish.

She first met Ellen at a fundraiser for Prop 2, a California measure which passed last year to ensure certain farm animals can move freely.

She discussed how Moby was performing at the Prop 2 fundraiser when a huge spider came aiming for Moby’s bald head. 

Of course, in the interest of animals, the spider wasn’t killed-it was picked up by Jared Leto who announced at the microphone, “We’re here for the animals. That means every animal.”

Wilde’s husband is Italian, who’s father was a prince, so that technically makes her a princess! Or according to Ellen, a “pancake princess.”

Olivia’s never lost an eating contest and tells the story of how she ate 33 pancakes in 20 minutes.

She challenges Ellen to a future vegan eating contest, but Ellen suggests Portia could be a better competitor.

Uh-oh. Ellen’s revealed a behind closed doors secret!

Olivia Wilde plays a neurotic self-diagnosing doctor with a terminal brain tumor on Fox’s House who describes herself as a “sort-of vegetarian who eats fish.”

Not eating any other non-plant item but fish is better than downing Big Macs every day. But with the fish population dwindling and the impact that could have on ocean life, we’d like to see Wilde work harder to be a little more eco-friendly. And we think we have the answer: Eat Gwyneth Paltrow’s vegan pancakes.

No, this won’t restore the sardines she munches on while watching episodes of herself and Lisa Edelstein on widescreen, but at least she’d be reducing her dairy intake. And she can down a lot of pancakes to offset her “print.”

Wilde once won a contest for eating 33 pancakes in 20 minutes! She entered the contest just to prove she could eat as much as the macho men who doubted her gluttonous talents.

Maybe it’s the spirit of competition and a gauntlet thrown down that drives her into action.

Oh, Olivia, can you hear us? We don’t think you can stop eating fish. Not hardcore enough to do it…
