For the FINAL DAY OF OUR CONTEST, we’re leaving you with Alicia’s answer on why she wrote The Kind Diet.

“For the last few years, I’ve seen how my lifestyle has influenced the people around me, so I decided to take my message even wider by writing THE KIND DIET. I want to inspire people to use the tools in this book to look and feel their best and to free them from dieting and discomfort. I know there are tons of folks who feel like they’re in a physical and mental rut and are looking for a solution, but don’t know where to begin. I know that by incorporating even just some of the suggestions in this book, readers will find themselves looking and feeling better than they ever thought possible.”

Beth Ditto‘s band Gossip just released a new album this month, Music For Men, and Beth describes her mates as coming from a punk scene of “striking vegan radicals.”

Does this mean Beth and the boys were trying to run away from the vegans?

Ditto announced several months ago that she became vegetarian.

Wonder if she stuck to her regime.

"Bigfoot" 2009

Tobey Maguire once made a bet with his assistant she wouldn’t be able to stop eating Simbree Energy Bars.

Rumor has it the assistant lost and she is supposed to shave her head in the future.

The bars are featured in a clip in the 2009 DVD release of Bigfoot.

“Apparently one of the producers is a big fan of Simbree products and thought it would be a funny recurrent theme in the movie to have Bigfoot become obsessed with the energy food,” said Sally Virgin, owner and president of Simbree Foods.

Amazon.com not only carries the Bigfoot release, but has an exclusive clip of Bigfoot enjoying the Simbree bar-wrapper and all.

Simbree Energy products include bars and granolas and are made with NON GMO expeller pressed canola oil and soy.

Heeb magazine has announced its annual list of 100 Jewish movers and shakers in the categories of art, music, fashion, film & tv, media, books, activism, comedy, food, and entrepreneurship.

We’re thrilled to report that two movers and shakers, Gabe Saporta and Amanda Cohen, also shake up the vegetarian community.

The front man for Cobra Starship, Saporta has been nominated for PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Contest several years in a row and starred in a PSA against fur.

Says Heeb of Cohen , founder of Dirt Candy, a vegetarian restaurant in New York City:

“Amanda Cohen, once famous for her buffalo wing recipe, found her true calling in vegetarian cuisine as the chef and owner of Dirt Candy, a vegetable-themed restaurant in New York. But don’t think that all she dishes out are sprout salads and tofu; Cohen is known for delicious snacks like jalapeño hush puppies, kimchi donuts and popcorn pudding.”

Sophie Monk has a new film out, The Hills Run Red, about the daughter of a horror film director.

At some point during the film, Sophie ends up naked and tied to a bed.

While some actresses would make a body double part of the contract, Sophie didn’t mind going natural for the cams at all.

After all, she still tries to stick to a vegetarian diet, according to celebrityhealthfitness.com.

“You’ve just got to make sure you’re in shape,” she said. “Most women would otherwise. I’ve been offered Playboy, but doing a film where it’s not me, I feel like it’s very different. That’s how I look at it.”

The Hills Run Red is available on DVD.

We’re clueless as to what minute in the film Sophie gets naked.

Sorry.

Heather Mills has been named “Person of the Year” by the readers of VegNews magazine.

Heather’s been a busy person, giving her time to the animals and the planet through both charitable and profitable actions.

Heather gave 2009 a little momentum when she started working with Hunts Point Alliance charity and donated over a million dollars of vegan food to impoverished families in the Bronx in 2008.

Continuing to work with the charity in 2009, Heather gave vegan cooking demonstration to the same families.

Then, Heather turned restaurateur, buying and renovating an old fish cafe and turning it into a vegan restaurant, V Bites.

Between managing V Bites and working with Hunts Point, Heather found time to participate in local food festivals and teach how easy it is to cook with veg food.

She acquired Redwood WholeFood Company, a maker of vegetarian cold products, including faux meats and cheeses and launched an eco-friendly clothing line made from recycled materials.

And she still finds time to raise a child who’s already started her activism career.

Great year, Heather.

Here’s to an even greater 2010!

“It depends on what city I’m in. I love Pure Food & Wine in NYC; Millennium in San Francisco; Sages in Salt Lake City; Sublime in Fort Lauderdale; and in LA, Veggie Grill, Real Food Daily, M Café, and, especially, my own kitchen with lots of family and friends!”

“No matter what city I’m visiting, or where I’m going, I check out happycow.com and healthydiningfinder.com to find the best veg*n restaurants in that area. That’s how I even discovered soy cheese pizza at the rim of Grand Canyon!”

—Marilu Henner, on her favorite places to eat for celebrations, in a series of interviews at lunchboxbunch.com called Veggie Girl Power.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is asking the current property owner of Elvis Presley‘s old Circle G Ranch in Horn Lake, Dennis McLemore, to lease the site to them in order to use it as a Don’t Be Cruel Education Center For Children.

“This would be a good way to let kids know the truth about how cows are suffering before they’re turned into burgers or blue suede shoes,” said PETA spokesman Ashley Byrne.

The property went up for sale a month ago and the asking price is $6.5 million, according to real estate agent Rodger Motz.

In a letter to McLemore, PETA said, “in honor of the King and cows, PETA would like to turn the ranch into a ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ center to educate students about how smart and sensitive the animals we eat really are, and why a vegan diet (no meat, no eggs and no dairy) is kindest for animals, the Earth and even our own arteries. Elvis would have benefited from going vegan, that’s for sure.”

Motz said McLemore is “not interested in leasing it to those people,” referring to PETA.

McLemore currently keeps cattle on the land, but is looking to turn it into resort property or residential development.
