Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will be honored by the Humane Society next month for their love of animals, so it’s both ironic and disappointing that it’s been brought to our attention that vegan Ellen is the Cover gal for Cover Girl cosmetics, a company that still tests on animals.

Even more ironic, the ads featuring Ellen will debut around the time she is given her award.

Deceiver.com put its ever so sarcastic slant on things:

Proposition 2, eh? I remember that. It was right around the time she signed up to become Cover Girl’s newest spokesmodel, despite the fact the beauty company is the largest that still tests on animals. Die, bunnies!

Ironically those print ads just started appearing in the March issues of all the magazines. Great timing there, HSUS.
 
We’ve learned before that celebrities don’t always investigate companies before representing them. We’ve also learned that celebrities make decisions that seem to completely contradict other behaviors.

Even Portia called Ellen out on their first date for wearing calfskin leather.

The decision to live ethically is an ongoing process of keeping informed and doing your research. Have you supported a company in the past only to stop after finding out some of their business decisions were against your beliefs?

Ellen And Portia To Receive Wyler Award By Humane Society

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 13th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, TV Hosts.

35th Annual People's Choice Awards - Backstage

Quite possibly Hollywood’s newest vegan couple, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will be honored for their efforts to improve care for animals at the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards next month.

The Wyler Award, named after the late Genesis Award founder, Gretchen Wyler, is given to celebrities or other public figures who have made the most noise in standing up for the better treatment of animals.

Looks like they’ve made the right choice. Where do we start?

Portia and Ellen both became vegans this year, saying no to every animal product, whether flesh or a byproduct. They both were active in getting the word out on Prop 2, the measure which passed in California to allow certain farm animals to move around freely.

They even share their lifestyle with people who are fortunate enough to be in their presence. The wedding reception menu was completely vegan. Ellen has given out vegan items quite a few times on her television show.

Wow. That’s a lot of hard work, guys. Have a cold one on us. You deserve it!

Who Would You: Ellen DeGeneres Or Portia de Rossi

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 in Actresses, Couples, Polls/Surveys, TV Hosts, Who Would You.

Yes, we know it’s cruel to pit spouses against each other, but when it comes to chowing down on a delicious veggie burger, it’s a soy dog eat soy dog world. Both vegan ladies recently had a big birthday bash, Ellen turning 51, and Portia 36. So between the two of them, who would you do…

Meatless Mouthful: Ellen DeGeneres On Her And Portia’s Vegan Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 6th, 2009 in Meatless Mouthful, TV Hosts.

35th Annual People's Choice Awards - Backstage

“We eat really clean. I stopped eating meat first, and when I stopped eating dairy – which was hard, because I loved cheese! – I lost the most weight. I eat a lot of vegetables. I saw the cages [of animals] in a disturbing documentary Earthlings, and could no longer participate. We love animals.”

—-Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on her vegan diet and lifestyle she practices, along with her wife Portia de Rossi. Both ladies recently celebrated another birthday, Portia 36, and Ellen 51.

Declare Yourself Rebirth of Citizenship Inauguration Kick-off Event in Washington

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi threw a big birthday bash for themselves this weekend.

Both ladies’ birthdays are very close together, Ellen turning 51 on January 26 and Portia turning 36 on January 31.

Lots of celebrities were on the invite list, like Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and her husband David Arquette, Drew Barrymore, Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Stiller.

A vegetarian meal was served, of course, and DJ Samantha Ronson, girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan, provided the tunes.

Yes, THE Samantha Ronson, who was upset because Californians voted to approve Proposition 2, a measure to improve the conditions of certain farm animals, but also voted to approve defining marriage as between and man and a woman only.

She had blogged about the results:

“I guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me.”

“Yes, i am glad that the chickens will have more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but i just think it’s frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow’s dinner than for the chef.”

“Yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married…”

Ouch! PETA wrote to Ronson asking for her support for animals just as much as they would continue their support for equal rights for gays and lesbians.

Ellen and Portia are both vegans, have expressed their concerns for animal rights, and were supporters of Prop 2.

Hopefully, if Sam continues to rub elbows with the happy vegan couple, some of that compassion might rub off on her.

Ellen DeGeneres Does Dees Vegan Donuts For Birthday

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, January 27th, 2009 in Food & Drink, TV Hosts.

35th Annual People's Choice Awards - Show

Ellen DeGeneres is a year older and she recently celebrated by bringing in vegan sweets to her audience from Dees Vegan Bakery and Donuts.

What a sweet vegan deal!

She also gave away gift certificates to Zappos.com worth $200!

But could she have done better?

No disrespect to Zappos, but after visiting the site, looks like they have a nice collection of leather. Wouldn’t it have been more appropriate for vegan Ellen to give the gift of cruelty-free to her audience to wear as well as eat?

Yes, audience members can choose non leather items, but it would make it a lot easier if she gave them Matt & Nat certificates like she did during the holidays.

Hope everyone  got their bellies full of vegan sweets.

Kellie Pickler Is One Skinny Bitch

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 in Female Singers.

The 42nd Annual CMA Awards - Show

We already know she’s a Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Fake Fur Girl, but “Don’t You Know” Kellie Pickler’s a Skinny Bitch as well.

The country music star and former American Idol contestant told That’s Fit she packed on almost 30 pounds in less than a year after going on tour with American Idol.

“We were always eating fast food on the road and having late night munchies,” she said. “I gained 28 pounds in less than a year!”

Kellie said she had to learn to “eat right,” and she did so by reading vegan authors Kim Barnouin and Rory Freedman’s Skinny Bitch, a book about the vegan diet and lifestyle.

“I appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show and we chatted about it. She told me about the book Skinny Bitch which was both really enjoyable to read and easy to understand.”

Kellie realizes the importance of following the skinny bitch diet as well: health. Although she lost her unhealthy excess fat, she realizes no diet will create a one size fits all body. She still has and loves her curves.

“I love my curves. No matter how thin I get, I always have my curves.”
