Vegetarian Star

So if you tuned into Top Chef Masters this week, you know chef Michael Chiarello won the heart and belly of Zooey Deschanel, as well as the week’s winning dish.

Zooey appeared as a guest who had a lot of dietary restrictions-vegan, gluten-free, and no soy.

Chiarello whipped up a Quinoa Spaghetti with Salsa Verde, Gremolata and Tomatoes.

Here’s a video of Chef Chiarello doing his thing.

If you’re interested in making the pasta dish yourself at home, here’s the recipe.

The Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper has officially announced he’s a vegetarian!

In the September ’09 issue of Vegetarian Times, Harper explains his motivation for doing so, which included reading Rory Freedman’s vegan diet and fitness book,  Skinny Bitch .

Bob said he tries to convince contestants on the reality TV show to eat as much plant based foods as possible during the weight loss competition.

“I always bring up the option of a vegetable-based diet, which I call Diet A, and talk about the many easy ways to get protein, such as from beans, tofu, broccoli, and quinoa. For the contestants who insists they need their meat, I have Diet B, which is still very heavy on veggies.”

Bob said after going veg, his cholesterol dropped by 100 points!

Now, that’s a loser everyone can be proud of!

Pick up the latest issue of Vegetarian Times on the stands to read the entire Q & A with Bob.

Alicia Silverstone isn’t the only vegetarian lady who can design an eco-friendly makeup bag.

Lauren Bush, who gave us the pleasure of the lovely interview months ago, has teamed up with Bobbi Brown to bring you the FEED Makeup Bag.

In partnership with the United Nations World Food Program, the $50 organic makeup bag with be available in October from BobbiBrown.com and Bloomingdales.com.

Inside the bags will be three of Bobbi Brown’s best selling lip glosses, but here’s the catch: You might have to throw them out!

Bobbi Brown cosmetics does not test on animals, according to a call made to the company. However, they are not completely animal-free in every formula, although the company tries to avoid animal products and by-products whenever possible.

Keeping in her charitable spirit, Lauren ensured that each FEED bag sold supports 10 women in the U.N.’s Food for Work Program, which provides meals to disadvantaged women who participate in job-training programs.

Lauren, the niece of former U.S.  president George W. Bush, has been designing FEED bags since 2006, and the collection includes a reusable shopping bag.

Biggest Loser coaches Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper are not vegetarians-yet!

But we have a sneaky suspicion at least one of them is going all the way sooner or later.

Jillian has announced she’s given up almost all meat in her diet, with the exception of fish, in an effort to go green. And Bob just can’t stop Tweeting about vegan cheese and almond milk.

So between the two Biggest Losers stars who have a thing for the veg life, even if it’s part time, who would you rather…

“Alice Walker! She’s an amazing humanitarian and human rights advocate and has opposed the eating of animals for some time now. A brilliant woman and ahead of her time! I would love to share thoughts and ideas on how to help bring compassion and truth into the hearts of humankind.”

—-actress Persia White, in an exclusive interview with Ecorazzi.com, on what notable person in the vegetarian community she’d like to meet and why.

Alice Walker has written a poem, La Vaca, in praise of cows and was once quoted as saying, “The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men.”

It’s no secret Pink is quite vocal about her opinions on fur and the people who wear it. (She once said that Kanye West would make a good coat after he professed his love for animal hide.)

She’s also helped with anti-fur campaigns with animal rights groups.

Now, Pink wants an entirely different campaign, aimed at the self-esteem of fur wearers: You don’t look cute, fashionable, or sexy…You just look fat!

And there’s no “ph” in front of that either, girlfriend.

“The whole animal welfare and cruelty side of wearing fur is clearly not working because some people still insist on wearing it,” Pink was quoted as saying.

“So I think we should have a new campaign with the message – fur makes you look fat. That is probably the only thing these people care about so let’s go for that. You look terrible in that. It makes you gain 15 or 20 lbs. That will do the trick.”

What do you think? Can Pink’s campaign have people dropping pounds of mink faster than a fad diet?

Some afternoon humor for your pleasure via the lol cats at icanhascheezburger.com.

Caption reads, “Lyle dreamed of cheezburgers but belonged to a vegetarian.”

Looks like Lyle the cat has the same problems as Che the dog on The Goode Family.

Doesn’t Lyle’s owner know how to make a veggie burger with soy cheese?

If you have a cat who appreciates a good vegan meal, why not give him or her some kitty grub from vegancats.com?
