Vegetarian Star

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.

Leona Lewis has proved she can’t be bought.

The “X Factor” winner and British chart topping singer turned down an offer of over a million dollars from Harrods Department Store boss Mohammed Fayed to open a summer sale.

Why on earth would a celebrity turn down that much money, you ask?

It’s because the department store sells fur.

Lewis has made her vegetarian lifestyle very public and is even in the process of starting her own line of vegan, cruelty free clothing with Topshop. The World’s Sexiest Vegetarian, voted by PETA fans, doesn’t wear or own any items made with animal products.

It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity who’s publicly acknowledged their beliefs not give in when money talks. Or, in the case of a million, money screaming.

Other female celebrities who have opened sales at Harrods in the past include Eva Longoria, Christina Aguilera, Lucy Liu, and vegetarian who can only cook mince meat Victoria Beckham.
