Vegetarian Star

Dexter star Julie Benz, Eva Longoria and Alyssa Milano are sending Tweets out in support of a petition to make animal cruelty a more severely punishable crime.

“Please sign… Will You Support Harsher Penalties For Animal Abuse? Need 5,000 signatures lets make a difference together!” Benz Tweeted, with a link to the petition during a Twitter message.

The petition started after the publicity that generated when a woman allegedly threw a dog 19 stories down a garbage chute and left him for dead.

Eva Longoria has shared a recipe for guacamole with Energy Times that includes all the basic ingredients of the rich, green whip, along with some tips from Longoria on what NOT to put in your guac.

“There are a lot of things that people put in guac that really do not belong there,” Longoria said. “Garlic does not belong in guac; mayonnaise does not belong in guac.”

Guess technically, Eva’s favorite soy butter doesn’t belong in there either, but who knows?

Longoria prefers Serrano peppers over jalapenos and says save the lime juice for dishes like pico de gallo or salsa picante.

Whip together the following ingredients for your next Desperate Housewives television night.

8 large ripe avocados
2 large tomatoes (diced)
1 large yellow onion (diced)
1 half-bunch cilantro (chopped)
3 small Serrano peppers
salt and lemon to taste

Eva Longoria loves to cook for both herself and hubby Tony Parker and when it comes to finding substitutions for traditional ingredients used in either Mexican or French cuisine, Longoria is never out of options.

“There’s always a healthier way to present food without compromising the taste,” Longoria said, according to Energy Times.

Although some of her favorite recipes might look unhealthy at first, a few tweaks here and there can cut harmful things like saturated fat and cholesterol, while maintaining taste.

“There are a lot of oils and lard and butters, and there’s so much that you can substitute that with.”

Longoria uses soy butter in the kitchen and also prefers heart healthy olive oil.

She once spent two years as a full time vegetarian to “cleanse her system.”

Knowing how good soy butter taste on vegetables, bread or any other item that calls for real butter, you’d think it’d make her go back.

Pamela Anderson is a work hard, play hard kind of gal and she proved this recently while attending the Vienna’s Life Ball AIDS event with other celebrities like Katy Perry, Bill Clinton, and Eva Longoria.

Before heading off to the ball, Pamela found time to chat with Austria’s justice minister, Claudia Bandion-Ortner about animal rights and free speech. It appears Austrian police are attempting to classify animal rights groups as criminals. When Pamela heard this news, she wrote a letter to Bandion-Ortner, asking for her assistance to prevent the potential censure of free speech.

The justice minister then invited Pamela to spend some quality one on one time with her, where she assured Pamela, she’d monitor the situation closely.

It helps to know people in high places.

Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ dinner brought many celebrities to the table, including Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman, and actor Tom Cruise.

Not even the Secret Service can prevent the gossip columnists from getting the dish on what people ate, and it was reported that Cruise ordered the vegetarian entree.

Does this mean Tom of Tomkat is going veg?

If so, we’ll go on Oprah and jump on the couch with him as he exclaims, “I love this diet Oprah. I love this diet so much.”

We would never veg OUT someone like PerezHilton.com does, but our speculations were right on target for Ginnifer Goodwin after it was discovered she had a habit of picking up food from Vegan Glory.

Tom is so vocal, if he does go veg, we’ll all know soon.

Celebrities may have tons of money in the bank, but some of them aren’t using it to hire a good wardrobe coordinator, especially a compassionate coordinator.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher currently top the worst dressed list for PETA, in a contest that’s running through March 2nd.

“She may be a cougar, but that’s not helping fur-loving Demi Moore in the eyes of animal lovers,” PETA said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

Demi is the first fur lady, while her husband Ashton comes in second because he was spotted “skulking around Sundance last month wearing a gigantic coat made of coyote fur.”

The competition, which awards the dishonor to celebs who sport every animal in the forest, crowned Aretha Franklin as queen last year with Eva Longoria Parker, Kate Moss, and Lindsay Lohan not far behind her.

So when you hear that someone like Eva Longoria wants to lose weight, laughter immediately occurs.

Longoria is the tiniest of tiny, but according to a source, the Desperate Housewife recently lost 10 pounds.

We’d like to think it’s because she’s reducing her meat intake, like she vowed for her New Year’s Resolution.

Eva was reportedly really into the vegan diet book, Skinny Bitch, given to her by vegan actress Lake Bell.

Eva is rumored to still eat fish, but has increased the amount of fruits and vegetables in her diet.

Hats off to Eva!

How are your New Year’s Resolutions coming along? Still going strong? Went out the door on January 3rd?

Update 1/7/09: Ani actually won 3 categories, as her book, Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen, placed first for best raw vegan book of the year. Woohoo!

Remember that awesome vegan chef, Ani Phyo, who catered Maroon 5′s vegan Halloween party? Who knew that most of the guys in Maroon 5 were vegan before she came along? We sure didn’t!

She’s won two categories in the Best of Raw 2008 poll!

Ani won for Best Raw Chef and Sexiest Raw Vegan Woman (hubba, hubba, giggity, giggity). And although she is sexy, brains are what really count, and she won second place for her intellectual efforts as a Raw Vegan Educator.

Congrats to Ani!

With celebrities like Eva Longoria and Fergie making New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier and raw, Ani just might find herself catering more vegan parties to the stars soon.
