Joanne Rose is featured in Supreme Master TV’s “Vegetarian Elite” video series.

Joanne is an author who’s written both a vegan children’s book, Tommy Tofu Saves The Day, and a sketch comedy called “Date A Vegan.”

“Date A Vegan” humorously exaggerates how vegans behave.

“I became a vegan in 1994,” says Joanne in the video. “I was raised a meat eater. But that’s not through anything else than just conditioning. That’s what we’re used to. Then it was in a cooking class in high school that we learned what a vegan was. We heard about a vegetarian and a vegan. And they said that a vegan just eats plant food. And I was sitting there in the kichen in the cooking class thinking, “Eats plant food?!”  But then it was only a matter of time I was vegetarian. I knew to make that decision-the direct link between animal cruelty and killing of animals.”

Watch the video to see Joanne’s kitty Remy and learn more about Joanne’s passion for veganism.

Alicia Silverstone Recommends Farmers’ Markets For Cheap Veg Eating

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, April 30th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

2009 Heart Of Green Awards

Emily Deschanel is not the only vegan actress to enjoy her local farmers’ market.

Alicia Silverstone recently interviewed with Glamour Magazine where she answers some questions about her vegan diet and lifestyle.

It’s no secret that fresh, organic produce and other staples of a vegetarian or vegan diet aren’t always cheap. Alicia gave some tips for making the transition easier on your pocketbook.

“The best way to save money is to go to a Farmer’s Market. Buy seasonal produce [that is grown locally]. It’s really, really cheap. I spend anywhere from $40 to $60 a week on produce. And that feeds my husband, my dogs, and me. My other grocery bill is a little bit more expensive, but that’s because I like making decadent desserts.”

“I would say to people who are concerned: I don’t go to the doctor; I don’t buy any prescriptions, antacids, or birth control. I don’t suffer from any illnesses. Consider it an investment for your health. And save money on other things. I look to eBay or Craigslist for deals on things to save money. Also, buy what you can in bulk.”

Elijah Wood Stealing Vegetarian Compliments From Tobey Maguire

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

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.

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?
