Vegetarian Star

Some say the college years are the best times of their lives. Deirdre Imus, radio talk show host Don Imus’ wife, possibly made one of the best decisions in her life in college.

While attending Villanova university, Deirdre became very interested in correlations between the environment and health. She soon learned a vegetarian diet played a huge factor.

From dotmed.com:

“Because I was involved in athletics at school, I wanted to be as fit as possible. I learned how variations in my diet could affect my performance on the track. I paid attention to the food I ate, and it was easy to extend that concept to all the things that could affect my health, and of course, that’s everything you come in contact with on a daily basis.”

“From what I learned, I became a vegetarian, and have been for about 25 years now.”

Deirdre and Don run a ranch in New Mexico designed to give the American cowboy experience to children with cancer or blood disorders or who have lost a sibling to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The menu on the ranch is strictly vegan and only natural, non-toxic cleaners are used.

Deirdre has her own name in the business world without Don as well. She is the Founder and President of  The Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology® at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, as well as the author of several bestsellng books.

She may eat veggie burgers from time to time ever since Sandra Oh took the Grey’s Anatomy cast and crew to lunch at Truly Vegan, but Ellen Pompeo insists she’s never becoming vegetarian. And we think the excuse is just plain tipesh.

Pompeo recently told People magazine, “I tried, but I get too skinny, and people think I’m anorexic. It just doesn’t suit my body type.”

“I’m naturally a waif,” she said.

She added that she works out extensively with a trainer three days a week to build muscle.

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen! You’ve been reading the wrong bodybuilding magazines.

We’re betting Brendan Brazier and his peeps at Vega would beg to differ and offer Ellen a nice collection of vegan protein powders and other supplements necessary to be a beefcake without the beef.

At least Ellen loads up on fruits and vegetables and avoid sugars and white flour.

Cloris Leachman’s gown for PETA’s Let Vegetarianism Grow on You campaign is no typical ballroom dress.

All the details of the fitting and adjustments were revealed at the L.A. Times blog.

L.A. designer Mia Gyzander, the same designer who dressed up Alyssa Milano for another “Let Vegetarianism Grow on You” campaign, created the vegetable based Cinderella costume.

Several heads of green leaf lettuce and red cabbage were required to assemble the bodice, which took a week to fashion.

“But to make sure Cloris was dressed in the freshest produce available, the full dress was assembled the day of the shoot,” PETA spokesman Michael McGraw told latimesblog.latimes.com.

So now we know.

Mia Gyzander has the skills to make vegetables look good on any figure.

The UK Hell’s Kitchen is back, full of celebrity cooking adventures.

One contestant on the show is Ms. Dynamite, born Niomi McLean Daley, an award winning hip hop singer and rapper.

Depending on the challenges given, Ms. Dynamite might have some performance problems on the show, given the fact that she recently turned vegetarian.

“Once I started to cut down on the meat and dairy products, it started to improve – it was all down to vanity, to be honest,” she told the UK Daily Mail.

“I don’t want to get on my high horse about it but I do feel a lot healthier in my diet. I don’t think I would struggle to cook meat during the show but gutting and skinning an animal would be a different story.”

Vegetarian hatin’ Gordon Ramsay started the UK Hell’s Kitchen, then left to run the famous U.S version. What’s fun about the UK version is that celebrities are the contestants.

The new series of Hell’s Kitchen starts next week in the UK on ITV1.

Gossip blogs can be so cruel.

Bossip.com spied model Julie Henderson and Russell Simmons looking cozy and wrote up a post titled, “Digging For Gold,” implying that Henderson was looking for Simmons to be her sugar daddy.

Simmons wrote back and said:

“I read this morning your headline, “Digging for gold” with a picture of me and Julie Henderson saying that the picture was taken last week at some food event. This “digging for gold” photo was taken last night @ my apt. The event was a fundraiser for the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding…so you’re right we were digging for gold! The honoree was LL Cool J. The organization promotes religious and racial harmony. It is a deep investment of my time, passion and money. Currently, the main focus is Muslim/Jewish relations and we have 52 programs in America where imams speak in synagogues and rabbis speak in mosques We are also spreading this work all over the world. Please send your gold or donations to ffeu.org. Also, as for my “boney, boo” Julie Henderson, she is nobody’s gold digger…she is a quite independent supermodel. FYI. Before yoga and marriage, back in the Krush Groove days, I was fat and high on coke, but I was still known to have the baddest girls from all over the world. Now I’m rich, vegan, sober and in much better shape…Can’t u guys just accept that my game is tight!!!!”

Oh, yeah. Don’t hate on the vegan man.

Dimora disses Dennis diet…say it fast five times.

Dennis Kucinich attended a recent Democratic party fundraiser and dinner in Cayahoga County, Ohio where he became the target for a joke by County Commissioner and party chairman Jimmy Dimora.

When Dennis’ vegan food prepared for him at the dinner was brought up, Dimora advised him to “take it home with him” and joked, “I don’t want anyone getting sick from that.”

This isn’t the first time, Kucinich’s diet has been poked fun of. Ever heard of the tan moderate political party? They eat hummus, pasta, and other “tan” foods.

No hard feelings, as Kucinich still gave a speech which praised the local chairman.

Visit blog.cleveland.com to view pics of the event.

When on the road or anytime between hand washing, it’s nice to have waterless sanitizer on hand.

But most brands of sanitizer contain unhealthy added ingredients that aren’t good for people or the environment. Not to mention made by companies that may have tested the product on animals.

Frais Luxury products has all natural, vegan hand sanitizers that are free of everything a veg who’s concerned about hygiene could ask for: parabens, propylene glycol, and other unnatural chemicals. And absolutely no animal testing. Plus, Frais is PETA certified as a cruelty-free vegan cosmetic company.

Reportedly, celebs like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Ripa, America Ferrera, and Britney Spears have all scrubbed their hands clean with Frais’ products and liked the results.

Using sugarcane alcohol as the main ingredient, Frais then adds all the smelly stuff like tangerine and ginger that will keep you sniffing yourself minutes after you apply.

Just try to avoid doing this for too long in public.

When we first heard about Ginnifer Goodwin picking up a take out order at Vegan Glory, we had no idea what was in the bag. Now, we’re getting some hints.

When asked by Blackbookmag.com where she liked to hang while in L.A., Goodwin replied:

“Oh, I’ll give you LA. My favorite restaurant is this little spot called Vegan Glory, in a strip mall on Beverly. They have the most phenomenal tacos. Are you a vegan? I am, and that’s where I get my taco fix. I recommend the faux beef tacos—absolutely!”

Okay, okay, we get it Ginnifer. You gotta have your vegan tacos or the set of Big Love gets really tense and ugly.

Wonder if she ever runs into Heather Mills and her singing child there?
