Vegetarian Star

Alyssa Milano and her husband David Bugliari were spotted having dinner at the Sè San Diego Hotel restaurant Suite & Tender.

According to PEOPLE, the couple, “kept their menu vegetarian, ordering roasted butternut squash soup, sautéed seasonal mushrooms and creamed spinach, but saved room for dessert, digging in to the eatery’s signature Suite & Tender cheesecake.”

It’s not known if David is veg like Alyssa, but at least they agreed to eat on the same side of the food chain that evening.

Nothing ruins date night like kissing a pair of beef smelling lips.

Do you have a non veg partner who forces you to eat salad at the steakhouse? Or do you drag the hunter to the organic natural foods cafe to show him what eating “raw” is really about?

Kirstie Alley is one of those celebrities vegetarians loathe-she went veg, had a bad experienced and blabbed about it.

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

You can probably guess from Kirstie’s statement she wasn’t eating vegetables.

But Kirstie recently expressed her desire to go veg again, this time partly for animal welfare reasons.

“I would love to become a vegetarian or at least eat very little meat,” Kirstie Tweeted. “The way animals are ofted is very brutal. I always struggle with this.”

Wow.

This isn’t just some Hollywood starlet trying tofu to take off the extra pounds!

Could Kirstie’s concern with animals raised for meat be the kicker she needs to learn the right way to eat vegetarian?

January 1st has arrived and that means the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine 21 Day Vegan Kickstart program has begun!

As mentioned before, there are several celebrities that offer tips for keeping up your resolution of going veg, like John Salley‘s advice on helping children make good food decisions.

“Adults influence kids’ eating habits. We have to improve kids’ eating habits—and re-educate adults about what is food and what is not food. People can have pizza and pastries without dairy products and eggs. They can have tofu mozzarella cheese or egg substitute and they should use agave in place of high-fructose corn syrup and refined whole sugar.”

Rory Freedman is also there to be the cheerleader in case you do cheat.

“If you slip up and get off track, forgive yourself. It’s okay to be imperfect and to make mistakes. Try to do better, that’s all.”

But with recipes like her Green Goddess pasta, it might be hard to even think about falling off track.

And Bob Harper wants you to examine what’s on your plate before asking why you feel tired and crummy every evening. And hopefully, put some of his black bean quinoa salad on there.

“When you pay attention to what you eat, it becomes easier to understand your relationship with food and how it affects your day-to-day life.”

2009 was a year of memorable quotes, so says the Huddersfield Daily Examiner, which has compiled its list of great celebrity verbiage of the year.

There are some quotes, however, that are worth forgetting, like one made by chef Antony Worrall Thompson when he attacked Paul McCartney‘s Meat Free Monday campaign.

“I am sure vegetarians must also account for a lot of gases. Look how many beans they eat.”

Ha, haaaaaa. Be sure to put him in the category of chefs you really love like Hezbollah vegan hating Anthony Bourdain.

Pamela Anderson wanted you to know she is now a Rembrandt.

“Yesterday, I was considered soft porn, but today I am art.”

Does that mean the art history students of the next century will be studying and critiquing the Lettuce Ladies ads?

Bob Harper is the kind of man every woman dreams of–he loves spending time in the kitchen.

“I love to cook. Love, love, to cook,” Bob told PEOPLE. “When I’m in L.A., I cook every night that I’m home. It’s really relaxing to me.”

The Biggest Loser coach who lost dozens of points off his cholesterol after going vegetarian insists he never grows bored with cooking the same beans and rice every evening.

“People are always asking, ‘If I’m a vegetarian, are my options limited? My answer is no way! There are so many great recipes out there to choose from, and I also love to experiment with different vegetables and grains. Guests are always surprised when they come over for dinner and I whip up pasta.”

Bob has given PEOPLE an idea of what he might whip up one evening at his LA residence, Roasted Vegetable Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing.

Zucchini, bell peppers and chickpeas are just a few of the delicious ingredients in one of Bob’s favorite salads.

There’s nothing worse than when a former vegetarian celebrity goes public and disses the lifestyle. Many of you were ready to rip the burger from Julia Stiles‘ mouth when she used the word orgasm to describe eating meat again after being vegan.

She wants you to know she’s sorry.

“I regret going on a talk show and talking about it,” Julia said. “I was young and impressionable and trying to be funny.”

Sure, Julia, blame it on youth.

Here’s more of what Julia had to say on vegetarianism from EcoStiletto:

On her present vegetarian status:
If I go to someone’s house I won’t make a stink, but I don’t choose to eat that much meat. I love fish, though. That’s probably bad, too. But you have to eat something, right?

On why she went vegan:
Not so much animal rights, but for health reasons. I just started reading more about factory farming and I didn’t want to be consuming that. And there are some spiritual reasons that I got into it, too. It’s weird to talk about, it’s a personal thing, but also I didn’t like the taste of meat that much. And I was grossed out by hormones in dairy products.

I’d never want to be preachy because I think what people choose to eat is their own personal decision. But I was saddened by the idea of the cows in diary pens and what they’re forced to eat—corn that they weren’t ever meant to digest. But there are ways to be super unhealthy as a vegan—all that processed food.

2009 must be the year for vegan Ellen DeGeneres because she’s already nabbed 2 Best of Veggie Awards and it’s not even New Year’s Eve yet.

Her recent commitment to veganism pushed her into the Top 10 Veg Stories of the Decade by VegNews.

Now, Ellen has been named Woman of the Year by PETA.

“She made vegan pizza with Chef Wolfgang Puck, spoke with Dr. Neal Barnard about the health benefits of a vegan diet, and just in time for Thanksgiving, “talked turkey” about the everyday abuse of animals on factory farms with Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Eating Animals. Ellen also created pages on her Web site that feature insight, info, and tips about cruelty-free living. Visitors can find recipes, read about why Ellen went vegan, learn where to shop, and more.”

Let’s not forgot she shared her personal chef, Roberto Martin, on national television as he taught her fans to cook vegan pot pie and roast, hosted fellow veg Pamela Anderson to discuss the launch of her eco friendly perfume and received an award from the Humane Society of the United States.

What’s on Ellen’s goals for 2010 and the next decade?

Hopefully, getting Simon Cowell and the other American Idol judges to eat vegan tacos every week.

Bollywood star John Abraham is set to produce a film on tiger preservation, according to One India Entertainment.

The movie, The Return of the Tiger, will be directed by Mike Pandey.

“I decided to produce the film because I truly believe tigers are one of the most magnificent creatures on this planet,” Abraham said. “And if we don’t take quick and immediate action to preserve them there will be no tigers left.”

Some experts estimate there are only about 4,000 tigers remaining in the wild, compared to 100,000 existing a century ago.

It’s no surprise that Abraham is so interested in wildlife preservation, given his history of commitment to animals.

A noted vegetarian, he’s was nominated for PETA’s Sexiest male vegetarian last year.

The Return of the Tiger is expected to be screened at film festivals and wildlife preservation summits.
