Vegetarian Star

PETA likes to host dozens of contests involving sexy people who don’t eat meat, and it’s time for the senior citizens to flaunt their thing, with the “Sexiest Vegetarian Over 50″ contest.

The vegs over 50 are in good company, with celebs like Paul McCartney, Prince, James Cromwell, Russell Simmons, Cloris Leachman, and Emmylou Harris.

Sixty two year old Emmylou has been involved with animal organizations like the Best Friends Animal Society, recorded public service announcements on taking good care of your pets, and even runs a dog shelter in her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.

If you’re a sexy veg and over 50, why not enter the contest?

The finalists will be narrowed down on July 24th, then readers can vote and the winner in both the male and female category will be announced August 24.

Those voted the sexiest receive a gift basket from Vegan Divine.

You’re taking the best steps toward living another century, lowering your health care costs, and looking great.

And it’s cool to tell the kids and grand kids, “When I was your age, worshipping seitan meant a completely different thing.”

Cloris Leachman and Betty White were having lunch, when Cloris, a longtime vegetarian, ordered a salad, asking the waiter to hold the bacon.

Apparently Betty’s not into dressing, but Cloris put more than enough on her salad to make up for Betty and all their grandchildren combined. Cloris also likes it salty, as USA Today wrote:

Leachman not only drenches her food in dressing, she asks for extra while shaking on disturbing amounts of salt and pepper.

We know how seemingly “healthy” foods can be made unhealthy by all the creams, sauces, and extra condiments placed on them. A bottle of salad dressing and a shaker of salt are just a few ways a good for you salad can turn bad.

Sure, Cloris could have been using fat-free dressing.  But other spices like pepper, garlic, and onion can add flavor to any food without the added sodium from salt.

Cloris’ salad is reminiscent of the vegetarian who eats only cheese sandwiches with gobs of mayo.

Maybe the lady who advocates putting down the cola and drinking juice should rethink her own habits.

Cloris has done more than her share of shaking on Dancing With The Stars. She doesn’t need to shake the salt shaker so much.

Cloris Leachman recently made an appearance at the Escondido Public Library in California to promote and sign her new book, Cloris: My Autobiography.

It’s known that the octogenarian has been a vegetarian for decades and Cloris revealed what prompted her to try the diet.

She was suffering from several medical problems that doctors couldn’t solve, including hay fever, asthma and insomnia. She started a juice fast, which cured her ailments, and the rest is veggie history.

The actress and Dancing With The Stars contestant is a strong advocate of the diet, posed for PETA for the Let Vegetarianism Grow On You campaign, and even chided a fan during her book signing for drinking soda pop.

“Quit, why don’t you?” Cloris admonished. “It will save your life. Start having juice.”

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.

Since we’ve already featured the mature gentlemen, it’s only fair to do the mature ladies edition. Eighty-two year old Cloris Leachman pitted against 75 year old Cicely Tyson. Leachman has just unveiled her lettuce leaves PETA ad. Tyson says she treats her body like a car, only putting the best veggie fuel in it. We won’t tell you which woman claims to have had “epic sex” with Gene Hackman. You’ll have to dig through the archives to find out. So between the two ladies…who would you rather do?

If you’ve heard enough about Cloris Leachman’s epic sex with Gene Hackman (arrgh…doesn’t it bring thoughts of your grandmother telling this story?), here’s some news that provides a little less TMI.

Cloris recently unveiled her PETA vegetarian ad in Times Square.

The “Let Vegetarianism Grow on You,” ad features Cloris clad in only red cabbage and leaf lettuce. You can view a behind the scenes video on PETA’s blog.

Wonder if she wore something like this for Gene…no, no, no. Remove images from thought processes.

We’re completely siked that Cloris is stripping down to her lettuce leaves in the name of vegetarianism. Plus, she makes a great face for the argument that a veg diet can help you grow old gracefully. The former Dancing With The Stars contestant is 82 years young and still shakin’ it.

We won’t ask questions about her current sex life, but it’s safe to say she hasn’t aged there either. Go Clo!

Cloris “Lettuce Leaves” Leachman, the 52 year old vegetarian actress and Dancing With The Stars Contestant, really gets into her greens.

Like Alyssa Milano, Cloris stripped bare-only to cover back up again with a blended red cabbage, beet, and iceberg lettuce dress for the “Let Vegetarianism Grow on You” campaign.

And she gets to drink a margarita while doing so!

“It feels comfortable and fits me too,” she told Access Hollywood. “You realize you feel wonderful…fresh, new, healthy. And you didn’t have to kill any animals to feel this way.”

She said that once you find out about something, you want to tell everyone about it. She feels people still “don’t know” the benefits of vegetarianism and they’re encouraged to eat meat by the meat industries and advertising.

Cloris has two strip shows, so be sure to watch Video 1 and Video 2.
