Elijah Wood Stealing Vegetarian Compliments From Tobey Maguire

The Cinema Society & Vanity Fair Host A Screening Of Appaloosa

Elijah Wood is such a meat eating fraud.

The actor was printing photos at Cosco when a fan approached him and complimented him on sticking to his vegetarian diet for so long.

Elijah isn’t a vegetarian, and later he realized the fan had mistaken him for Tobey Maguire.

Elijah went along with it anyway.

Boo, boo, and triple boo!

Elijah is no Tobey Maguire. He is not an obsessive Real Food Daily patron. He does not hang at Prop 2 parties with his fellow veggie and animal rights peeps.

If Elijah wants his vegetarian compliments, he should earn it like every other meatless celeb does: Go veg!

Alicia Silverstone Invents A Kinder Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 in Actresses, Authors.

2009 Heart Of Green AwardsAlicia Silverstone recently spoke with Ecorazzi.com about vegetarianism and her new vegan diet book, The Kind Diet, coming out in the fall.

Alicia teamed up with members of the Physician’s Committee For Responsible Medicine to incorporate solid medical advice into the plan.

You have a new book coming out called The Kind Diet. Tell me about what we can expect to see in it?

Yes, I’m so excited! It really feels like the most artistic expression of myself because it’s everything I’ve wanted to say for a very long time. Every time I worked on it my heart just opened up.

It’s called The Kind Diet and it’s about being kind to yourself and the planet at the same time. It really breaks down Eastern philosophy versus Western philosophy in terms of health. I bring in all the doctors so you can understand the medical and scientific approach and know it’s not just some ditzy girl talking about this stuff.

Paul McCartney Letter To Pamela Anderson: Preaching To The Choir

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 in Actresses, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Pamela Anderson, Chrissie Hynde and Paul McCartney Maybe Paul McCartney is getting old.

The famous vegetarian Ex Beatle has written a letter to former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson detailing all the benefits of a vegetarian diet.

But why on earth is he telling this to Pamela, who’s been a vegetarian for years?

“There are several reasons for a shift in a much lower input of meat in human diets if not complete vegetarianism…Quite apart from reasons of compassion for animals, a move towards vegetarian diets would also address the crisis in the global food market which leaves the poorest of the poor severely malnourished and ill-fed with food prices that have climbed to substantial heights in recent months largely because of diversion of food grains for conversion into animal proteins.”

Like duh. Pamela knows that dude.

Read the rest of Paul’s letter to Pamela.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

2009 Film Independent Spirit Awards - Arrivals

We know Kristen Bell won’t mind cooking crockpot chicken for her friends and Kelly Clarkson stuffs dead bird for the family at Thanksgiving. Now we know Eric Roberts won’t mind cooking chicken for his carnivorous friends and family.

The actor and brother of Julia Roberts spent some time in Tuscon, Arizona with his sister and a family friend where he was spotted at Mexican restaurant Senor Sammy’s helping out with the chicken cooking.

Sure, Eric may be a nice guy for helping and all, but couldn’t he have just helped with the bean burritos, instead?

Natural Resources Defense Council 11th Annual Forces For Nature Benefit
Paul McCartney is the latest celebrity to add his name the growing list on the petition urging members of European Parliament to make the trading of goods made from seals illegal.

“The fate of millions of seal pups is in the hands of elected members of the European Parliament,” McCartney said in a statement.

“In the next few weeks they will have a historic opportunity to stop the cruel trade in seal products throughout the European Union.”

Voting on the complete ban takes place next week. Such a ban would deter hunters from clubbing seals, wishing to gain profits from their coats and meat.

Jessica Alba and her family go for a walk in Sunset Plaza


Jessica Alba recently appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno to discuss her first Easter with daughter Honor Marie Warren.

What’s so cool about Jessica’s first Easter with Honor is that she tried to keep things vegan!

According to Celebritybabyblog.com, the cupcakes were “organic, dairy-free, egg-free cupcakes.”

Jessica described the cupcakes as “awesome” and “moist,” but the icing left more to be desired.

“The icing was horrible, so I got the icing from the can,” Jessica told Jay.

You can watch the video of Jessica telling Jay about her Easter icing experience.

Aw, we’ll forgive you Jess. We’re just so proud you attempted vegan cupcakes. Wonder if this means Jessica will be doing more vegan cooking in the future?

Have you had a bad vegan icing experience? Cherrybrook Kitchen has some awesome vegan frosting guaranteed to make your next vegan cupcake experience NOT sucky.

Russell Simmons Sneaks Fish, Eggs In Vegan Diet

OMG! Vegan Russell Simmons has just admitted to eating fish every once in awhile and not caring about the egg in his noodles.

On a recent interview with msnbc.com, Russell announced a contest he is holding to find America’s Greenest Campus where colleges can compete and measure their carbon footprint before and after making changes.

While discussing being green, Russell mentioned all of the little things people can do to go greener when he mentioned a very, very big thing to reduce our carbon footprint.

“We can be a vegetarian, which is probably the greatest thing we can do. The greatest cause of global warming is the animal abuse. By far more than all the forms of transportation put together.”

Even if this means we stray and eat a little fish every now and then. When the topic turned to celebrity hypocrites, the famed vegan Russell Simmons admitted that even he sometimes slips up.

“I’ve been a vegan for 10 years, but you know sometimes when no one’s looking, I eat fish. I do the best I can. And then [I’ll have some] egg in my egg noodle.”

Whoa! What do you guys think of that. Did Russell just make it easier to people to excuse breaking their vegan vow? Or is he just trying to let people know every little bit counts and you don’t have to be perfect to make a difference?
