The annual VegNews Veggie Awards winners will be announced in the November/December holiday issue of the magazine coming out any day now.

Green gossip website Ecorazzi.com was able to get a sneak peek at this year’s winners and Ellen DeGeneres was chosen as favorite vegetarian celebrity by VegNews readers.

Ecorazzi’s take:

“We called this one back in June in our Top 5 Vegan Celebrities of 2009 — which was odd, because the year was only half-over and it would have been pretty embarrassing if she’d started taking diet tips from Hillary Swank.”

Will Ellen celebrate the award with a bellyful of her favorite vegan tacos?

View some of the other winners at Ecorazzi.com and find out which categories Twitter founder Biz Stone and actress/author Alicia Silverstone won.

“Well, I never crave non-vegan foods, because vegan foods are so delicious. When I’m out and there are no vegetarian foods available, then I just make the best choices I can. Sometimes, it’s to eat nothing at all, or I’ll have the least offensive thing. Maybe there’s a salad with goat cheese, or potato salad with a little mayo. That’s what it’s about — making the best choices under all circumstances.”

—-Alicia Silverstone, at thatsfit.com, on making the best choices when you don’t always have vegan available.

Are there certain items you compromise on when you can’t eat the way you prefer? Will you allow mayonnaise on a veg sandwich? Mono and diglycerides from a source you can’t confirm? How do you determine what’s appropriate for your vegan diet?

A behind the scenes look at the photo shoot for Alicia Silverstone‘s The Kind Diet vegan lifestyle book.

Everyone gets the star studded treatment in this clip-even a carrot!

The camera also catches delicious desserts, fresh produce, and recipes in the making. Looks like one clip captured a bowl with leftover dough or batter.

Time to lick that bowl like there’s no risk of salmonella from eating raw eggs!

Watch the clip to also catch a glimpse of Alicia’s hottie rocker husband, Christopher.

Alicia Silverstone joined the ladies of The View to discuss her newly released vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Silverstone was looking hot as ever and the pictures of the food that flashed on the screen behind them were mouthwatering.

Joy Behar got some laughs when she asked Silverstone “What’s your idea of a “mean” diet?”

“I do cover that in the book,” Silverstone says, which she describes as “the nasty foods” like processed sugar, meat and dairy.

Alicia Silverstone‘s brand spanking new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet, was released today.

The best reward for living more vegan is of course the food and Alicia demonstrates a vegan dish made at Candle 79, Seitan Picatta on LX New York.

“I want to stop calling it vegan and vegetarian food — it’s just great food,” Alicia says.
