Vegetarian Star

“I am on a spiritual journey and have never been happier. I don’t drink or smoke and have turned vegan. I have found my true calling. Being a Yogi was my destiny. I don’t miss my old life at all.”

—-Alexandra Aitken, Yoga instructor, actress and daughter of former UK politician Jonathan Aitken. Alexandra was the UK version of party girl Paris Hilton before she turned her life around.

A very, very distant vegetarian past. 

Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi is starring in a commercial for Hardee’s, advertising the fast food giant’s Bacon Western Thickburger.

Lakshmi has no problem chowing away on that pork and beef, but there was a time…

“I grew up a vegetarian,” Lakshmi told People. “Then, because I grew up in the states, I started slowly eating meat. First it was bologna sandwiches, or pepperoni on pizza. As a teenager, [my friends and I] would always go have burgers. I would scarf them down!”

Seems like Padma is just one of the many examples of those who immigrate to the US and unfortunately, adopt unhealthy diets  in addition to other American cultural practices.

Thickburger girl says she works out like crazy and doesn’t just sit around eating burgers all day, which is why she’s still able to maintain her trim figure. But Padma, really? How trim are your arteries?

The commercial was directed by Chris Applebaum, the same guy who brought Paris Hilton and a burger together for a 2005 Hardee’s ad.

It’s time a veg celebrity did a promo for some fake meat. What do you guys think? Pamela Anderson wearing nothing but a Boca burger? Ginnifer Goodwin with a soystache?

Paris Hilton is known for many things, but being vegetarian is not one of them.

However, USA Today printed an article recently wishing her a Happy Birthday, and the article said Paris was a vegetarian.

We guess along with pescetarian and flexitarian, there are now beef and pork slider vegetarians, as that’s what she was seen eating not along ago.

Either vegetarians are becoming more like some churches, changing the rules faster than lightening in order to attract and retain more members or someone picked up some incorrect information.

We suspiciously think there was some Clint Eastwood vegan urban legendness to this mistake.

The website, ParisHiltonZone.com, claims that Paris became vegetarian after watching a video on animal cruelty provided to her by Heather Mills.

“From that point I’ve never worn fur and I never will.”I also haven’t eaten any meat since. I just survive on pasta and stuff like that. I was grossed out. It was disgusting.”

Maybe Paris was a veg at one time, however short lived. Or maybe she’s a flexitarian?

Giving credit where it’s due, mom Kathy Hilton did buy Paris a faux fur for Christmas instead of the real thing, so maybe Paris at least isn’t down with wearing something that came from one of her chihuahua Tinkerbell’s cousins.

Socialite Kathy Hilton, mother of Paris Hilton, spoke with E! Online about what her two grown little girls are getting for Christmas. Yes, it looks like E!Online has now ruined the surprise for Paris and Nicky!

Just one of their surprises, that it, as it’s a sure thing Momma Hilton got them more than one item. Especially considering she started shopping in October.

“Nicky wanted me to get her this photograph,” Kathy said. “It is of a beautiful swan because she loves swans, so I got her that.”

“And Paris, I am going to get her a very cool faux fur coat. Like a bomber jacket.”

Kudos to that! A socialite worth millions, billions, and gazillions, dropped the word that she’s buying fake fur for the holidays. In a time where celebrities are still pretending it’s caveman days and fur is the only way to keep warm, Momma Hilton proudly professed what her pocketbook is financing this year, one of the best cruelty-free presents you can buy.

Awhile back, Kathy’s husband Rick, was gushing over Paris’s then boyfriend Benji Madden and his clean lifestyle, saying he was a “healthy vegan.”

Paris and Benji broke up, but still hang out together. Is a romantic reunion possible? If so, we’re jumping for joy. With Benji’s healthy vegan lifestyle and momma Hilton choosing faux fur, some of that animal compassion just might rub off on Paris.

Paris Hilton’s parents are absolutely thrilled with their daughter’s latest boy toy, Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden.

They’re already referring to him like family, according to Robin Leach’s Vegas Luxe Life Blog.  So just what makes Benji such a good man? 

Momma Hilton Kathy said:

“He’s changed her life—and I really think she’s genuinely in love for the first time. He’s so good to her and for her. We couldn’t be happier for them. This has honestly become the real thing.”

But most importantly, Papa Hilton Rick said:

“Benji is the perfect example of, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover. He is polite, well mannered, and he even calls me sir. We love him like family already. Benji doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke and is a healthy vegan!”

Papa Hilton giving props to Benji being a vegan? Wooohooo!

Paris and Benji have said they have plans for marriage, but nothing is definite yet. If you recall us telling you, the two had a meal after the premiere of her new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera where Benjji ate vegetable spring rolls, but Paris gobbled up some disgusting mini cheeseburger sliders.

If daddy is so impressed with Benji’s veganism, will he convince his little girl to follow her (future) husband’s lead?

Good Charlotte musician Benji Madden and Paris Hilton are an item and are officially telling the world about it. Yes, we know you care so much.

They were spotted at the premiere for Hilton’s new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera at Planet Hollywood where they then went to an after party and feasted on vegetarian spring rolls, pork pot stickers, and mini cheeseburger sliders.

Well, it’s assumed that Benji feasted on the spring rolls, since he has publicly claimed to be vegetarian. Paris did her part to stomp her carbon footprint into the earth and offset Benji’s spring rolls by downing the pork and beef.

Peta has said that they want vegetarians to date meat eaters as it gives the opportunity to educate and (they’re hoping) convert.

It worked for Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell.

To twist a famous Elvis song, how ’bout a “little more conversation and a little less action?” Trade one lip locking night with a night of education about the benefits of reducing meat.

It might also be a good idea to tell her to stop collecting so many puppies.
