Vegetarian Star

We’ve covered so much veggie athlete news lately, we’re on a roll and should head to Vegas!

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Pat Neshek recently spoke with the Minneapolis Star Tribune where he revealed he’s “willing to take the heat” for his veganism.

“I get that all the time,” Neshek said. “Like Gardy [manager Ron Gardenhire], he’ll make fun of me and stick a hot dog in my face and say, “You want to eat this?” A lot of guys are curious. Most of the time, there’s a lot of guys that make fun of you.”

No problem for Neshek, as he knows he’s putting the good stuff down that ultimately will make his game better.

Besides, who cares about the guys? He’s got a woman at home to answer to.

When he first met his wife, he was heading for a McDonald’s and the future Mrs. Neshek said, “I can’t believe you eat that stuff!” This comment, along with reading The China Study, which links a meat based diet to diseases, prompted Neshek to work on his steakouts as much as his strikeouts.

Five years later, the Mrs. Neshek is still helping Pat with his veg game.

“My wife, she’s an excellent cook, so that’s the main reason I can pull this off,” he said.

Kirstie Alley is giving vegetarians a bad name.

The actress recently admitted to People magazine that she’s gained 83 pounds after quitting the Jenny Craig diet in 2007. She also become a vegetarian for seven months and ate all the wrong meatless things.

“I can’t tell you how much weight I gained being a vegetarian! A vegetarian would probably be eating vegetables,” Kirstie said.

“But to me being a vegetarian meant I’m going to eat enchiladas with no meat, and I’m going to eat lots of bread, lots of carbs.”

When are these Hollywood actresses going to learn nutrition?

Maybe Bethenny Frankel could teach Kirstie to put some tofu on that bread and make an open faced sandwich. She should try stuffing her enchiladas with low fat beans just as hard as gals try to stuff themselves into a pair of their pre pregnancy jeans after delivery. And stop having hookups with cheese.

Speaking of hookups, Kirstie mentioned she has a “thing” for actor Jamie Foxx.

“I want a booty call with Jamie Foxx — for real. I’ve always had a bit of thing for him.”

Sorry, Kirstie we don’t have dating expertise. We’ll just help you recognize good carbs.

There’s nothing better than a celebrity chef who snitches.

From former White House chef Walter Scheib giving the dirt on how Chelsea Clinton went vegan to Aaron Ash, the now owner of a raw vegan foods restaurant telling how he gave Mike D of the Beastie Boys what he wanted, we love hearing from those who have spent time in some of the most private areas of a star’s life-their diet.

Eric Ienco has cooked for celebs such as Madonna, Sting’s wife Trudie Styler, Christie Turlington, and ethical fashion designer Stella McCartney.

Apparently, Stella can’t get enough of this guy’s soup.

From Roundtownnews.co.uk:

“She’s a vegetarian, through and through. I think Stella likes plain and simple home-cooked foods. I think her mum must have raised her this way – Linda was a veggie too. Stella isn’t picky but she’s very enthusiastic about my soup! I like her; she’s a good soul.”

Read what other foods celebrities enjoy Eric cooking for them.

Bob Barker returned to the set of The Price Is Right recently to promote his new book, Priceless Memories, due out April 6th.

Proceeds from the book sales will go towards DJ&T Foundation, which he founded in 1994 to help foot the bill of spaying and neutering animals.

The longtime vegetarian is the owner of many animals himself, including two rabbits named “Mr. Rabbit,” and “Honey Bunny,” and always ended each Price Is Right show with his signature sign-off, “Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered.”

Barker proved he was both a host and a comedian as two prize showcases were, cough, cough, “heavily themed” with his book.

For example, one showcase featured a computer where you could order the book, trip to New York City to buy a bundle of the books from the publisher, and a truck to haul them all back in.

Hilarious!

Priceless Memories contains Bob’s experiences as a host on several shows including The Price is Right, Truth or Consequences, Miss USA, and Miss Universe.

Favorite contestants, celebrity encounters, as well as his personal life being raised through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl are given pages. 

Some sections also discuss his passion for animal rights and include real life examples of his work, such as having an anti-fur stance for the beauty pagents he hosted.

If we had a dollar for every time we made fun of Gwyneth Paltrow for her pretending to be a real vegetarian then sneaking the turkey legs under her kitchen table, we’d make more money than what she’s made over the past decade.

We have learned that a recent entry to her online newsletter Poop Goop features a brief interview with her friend Tamra Davis, a film producer and director who, like Gywneth, talks of being “mostly vegetarian.”

Writes Gwyneth:

“We are both mothers of two small children, in the film business, are passionate amateur cooks, have an obsession with Vegenaise, are married to musicians and have a similar food ethos.”

Mmm…At least Gwynnie’s got good taste for vegan mayonnaise. Even if she does baste her Thanksgiving turkey with it.

This could be one of your few chances to snag a recipe featured on Goop that’s actually vegetarian, as Gwyneth is currently featuring Seitan with Lemon Caper Sauce, aka “Dinosaur Meat”.

Hop on over to Goop and check it out!

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.
