Pamela Anderson Helped Others Meat The Truth

Pamela Anderson Press Conference

Pamela Anderson was presented with a copy of Meat the Truth, a documentary on the effects of the meat industry and the environment she participating in making, at the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam earlier this month.

If you remember us telling you, Anderson wrote a letter giving sex tips to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands before leaving for the trip.

When Al Gore presented An Inconvenient Truth, some say he forgot to highlight an important component for saving the world from global climate change: vegetarianism.

Meat the Truth, by Karen Soeters (Director, Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation) is the documentary that picks up where An Inconvenient Truth left off. According to the creators of Meat the Truth, the livestock industry is responsible for 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions and that’s 40% more than the emissions created by all the cars, trucks, trains, boats and planes added together.

Here’s a fun fact for you frequent fliers: If all Americans would not eat meat for one day a week, it would save 90 million plane tickets from New York to Los Angeles in terms of carbon emissions.

The video below contains more facts as well as a statement made by comedian Bill Maher. Several other celebrities helped make, Meat the Truth, including Maher, James Cromwell, Emily Deschanel, and Hal Sparks.

Emily Deschanel Frequently Heard Pigs Being Slaughtered

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 26th, 2008 in Actresses, Videos.

Ellen DeGeneres And Portia de Rossi Host Yes! On Prop 2 Party

Yes, most of us dropped a tiny tear at the news of Bambi’s mother dying, but other than that, unless you grew up vegetarian or on a farm or ever worked in a meat market, you were probably shielded from the horrors of learning how the food on your plate got there.

In contrast, when “Bones” actress Emily Deschanel was growing up, she heard pigs slaughtered regularly.

“I was about 10 years old on an island and they killed the pigs right behind where we lived. And you could hear them screaming. That was a pretty terrible thing to hear when I was so young. And that just kind of sort of started [me] thinking, ‘How can people treat another animal that way and if we can live without doing that then why wouldn’t we live that way?'”

The video of her discussing her experience is featured at SupremeMasterTV

Merry Christmas And Enjoy Joaquin Phoenix’s Holiday Video

Rise and shine all you who got up early to look for Santa this morning.

Can’t believe this pretty boy face is retiring from the big screen! Joaquin Phoenix stars in a Christmas video for PETA UK. The holiday jingle played in the background is bright and cheery as he passes the produce, but soon takes a very different tune in the turkey section.

Have a merry and meatless Christmas!

Forest Whitaker Advocating Falafel Cart Can Ease NY MTA Hikes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 in Actors.

GQ Magazine Hosts The Gentlemen's Ball - Arrivals

New Yorkers are in an uproar over the fare hikes and service cuts the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has approved in its 2009 budget.

One man expressed his feelings personally by attempting to throw a shoe at Chief Executive Elliot Sander-mimicking the Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at George W. Bush, before being escorted out.

People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), being the peace and goodwill promoting organization it is, has offered to help solve this problem so hopefully Chief Sander will only be dodging snowballs this winter.

They would like to purchase advertisement on MTA that would allow riders to hear pro-vegetarian testimonials by vegetarian actors Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, and Kevin Nealon.

Fantastic idea, but why not take it a bit further. Along with the personal testimonial, include shout outs as to where to find the food. Something like,”I’m Forest Whitaker and I’m a vegetarian. Check out the Falafel cart at 46th and 6th, may make the advertisement dollars go further.

You can listen to each celebrity’s announcement over at PETA’s blog.

Rocker Bryan Adams Exposes His Refrigerator To Rachael Ray

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Peace One Day - Stage Performances

Bryan Adams exposed himself to Rachael Ray. Geez, we thought he was a gentleman.

Actually, he still is. He just opened his refrigerator to the celebrity chef for her Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine in the December/January 2009 issue, where you’ll also find his favorite Pineapple-Ginger juice recipe, which he drinks every morning.

His fridge is obviously stocked similar to what we told you was in his shopping cart, such as wholesome vegan foods like medjool dates.

Those who follow him know he’s been a vegan for 20 years and he even switched to a completely raw diet for awhile, which he claims during that time he never got sick.

“I didn’t even have a headache—it was unbelievable,” he said. “So now I still try to eat raw about 50 percent of the time.”

So take that, Bijou Phillips, who recently said she was going back to Atkins to lose weight and being a vegan made her sick all the time.

Adams has a self-portrait in front of his fridge-probably to remind him of how gorgeous his body looks so he’ll keep eating vegan.

Read his interview with Rachael Ray, and hear how he’d love to invite her over for a 30 Minute Meal of cheeseless rigatoni pasta with pesto sauce.

Moby Proves Even Douche Bags Get 45 Words Of Fame

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 19th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Male Singers.

The Fifth Annual Art Party Celebrating The Whitney Museum Of American Art

Grab your urban dictionaries, boys and girls. The word for the day is douche bag. And how do you define it? Douche bag= An unattractive or offensive person. Also known as any character vegan singer Moby plays on film.

While discussing his character in the upcoming vampire horror/comedy Suck, he mentioned that he manages to get the same types of roles in movies: the role of the ugly nuisance.

“I’m making a specialty of playing douche bags,” he told Rolling Stone. “I could spend the rest of my career perfecting the douche bag. It’s the journey not the destination.”

He also played a douche bag, as a porn addict in Pittsburgh. It’s never type casting, of course.

The vegan musician’s character “Beef Ballow,” gets only 45 words to say in the film and is assaulted with rubber latex meat while dripping in fake blood made from raspberry syrup. Raspberry syrup… Mmmm, yummy. Makes you suddenly want to be the vampire that sucks on him.

The costume attire was created with him in mind, since he’s vegan and wouldn’t be down with any real USDA approved meat on him. Even his trench coat is synthetic leather.

“I only have 45 words,” Moby said. “But they are 45 important words. Then I get eaten.”

Ah, the female vegan rocker edition!

They both love vegan food and rock and roll. Granted, Chrissie has an advantage, since she can have her chefs whip up something gourmet and vegan at her restaurant and all. So who would you…

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Hard Rock Calling Festival 2008 Day 1

If you’ve been keeping up with the news we bring you (and you should), you know that Jason Mraz switched to a raw foods vegan diet last Spring and is a homegrown avocado farmer.

He’s talked about his love for avocado before and mentioned it briefly with E!Online. When asked if he was an avocado expert, he replied:

“I like to think so. I certainly know how to choose them in a grocery store.”

Oh, Jason, Jason, Jason! You do so much more than choose the right ones in the grocery store.

Mraz has created his very own Chocomole, a chocolate mousse made with avocado.

Trying to be humble?

When he doesn’t have an avocado sweet tooth, Jason likes to cut them in half and sprinkle lemon juice on them before gobbling up.

Read the rest of Jason’s story with E! Online.
