Vegetarian Star

Blogging and news maniac Arianna Huffington, from the Huffington Post, recently hosted a reception party for poet Elizabeth Alexander.

Although she’s not a vegetarian, Arianna had plenty of non meat hors d’oeuvres for everyone.

Elizabeth Alexander is the poet who composed, “Praise Song For The Day,” for President Barack Obama’s inauguration.

Alexander’s poem can be purchased in a commemorative chapbook edition from Graywolf Press.

History tells us Huffington knows how to plan a good veggie party!

If you recall, the Huffington Post set up a relaxing, time-out suite during the Democatic National Convention that featured vegan hors d’oeuvres and yoga classes.

We already told you how Ingrid Newkirk of PETA said vegetarians and vegans should date omnivores to bring them over the their side and then dump them to move on and convert someone else.

We even joked that Natalie Portman might be doing this to Rob Pattinson.

But it looks like Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor really follows the rule.

Kareena became vegetarian while dating fellow Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor, but the two later broke up. Kareena and Shahid are still both veg, though, and Shahid even put his dog on a vegetarian diet.

Now, Kareena is involved with a guy who is, in her words, “hard core non-vegetarian, who at every given step would be eating his steak and his roast chicken.” But that’s not affecting her eating habits. From the Times of India:

“I did it completely because I believed in it. It’s because of a book I read and I completely believe in. Nobody has put a dagger to my head. I’ve learnt something from Shahid and that’s something that Saif appreciates and in fact Saif always tells me that “Listen, if now you go back to being a non vegetarian, I’ll loose faith in you as a person.” I’ve traveled the word with Saif and he’s sat across thousands of tables from me and I’ve stuck to my French fries even though I have to put on a kilo on my scale, but I would not go for the roast chicken.”

So Kareena came around on her own. But it looks like her past loves played a role. Will Kareena bring her new man over to the veg side? And will the poor soul be left behind once he gives up his steak and roast chicken?

Who said vegetarians eat lettuce, sprouts, and plain tofu all day?

British actress Amanda Holden became famous for her role as Sarah Trevanion on “Wild at Heart” and is a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.

“I’m vegetarian, but I love my food,” she told the UK Times Online.

“I don’t believe in having low-fat spread in the fridge, and I do indulge in a pudding, and I do like a bit of Stilton when I’m having posh dinners out.”

Her guilty pleasures include “butter” and “wine” but we’re not sure if she necessarily puts those together.

Luckily, she is a natural outdoors gal who would rather jog with her dog than stay cooped up in an artificial gym setting. This exercise routine seems to be working for her, as she ran the London Marathon last year.

Jennie Garth has an urban legend surrounding her much like Clint Eastwood did on his veganess.

The former “Beverly Hills 90210” actress and Dancing With the Stars contestant was recently interviewed by Energy Times, where she acknowledged the rumor, said she “hated eating animals,” but wasn’t a vegetarian.

“No, I’m not a true vegetarian,” she said. “I eat chicken and occasionally fish. I hate eating animals, but I have to get some protein in and the best way for me to do that would be to eat chicken or fish, although my kids eat tofu.”

“I don’t eat red meat.”

Hmm…You’d think that while she was sauteing tofu for the little ones, it’d be easy to fix herself a portion as well.

Heart disease runs rampant in the actress’ family and Jennie herself suffers from a leaky heart valve. While shunning red meat certainly helps her manage risk factors for heart troubles, there are numerous studies that show vegetarian and vegan diets prevent all sorts of diseases, including those that break the heart (physically).

Jennie is married to a “vegetarian vampire.” Her husband is Peter Facinelli, the guy who played Edward Cullen’s father, Dr. Carlisle Cullen, in the vampire movie Twilight. 

Wishing Jennie the best in managing her and her family’s health and hoping she has a tofu nugget or two to the replace the chicken ones she usually eats.
