Heather Mills Hosts Healthy Meal Cook-A-Thon with students in The BronxEven though it took her almost forever to finally get her vegan restaurant off the ground, we’re learning more and more about Heather Mills‘ plans for her diner, V-Bites.

Chef Heather will be making guest appearances every Sunday cooking her favorites for customers. Now that’s ownership!

“I’ll be coming in on Sundays, making my speciality of all the roast potatoes, parsnips, all the veg and gravy,” Heather revealed.

Mmmm…Who doesn’t like vegan gravy? Yum!

If you can’t make it to Heather’s place every Sunday, there’s tons of vegan gravy recipes on the good ol’ net, like Brown Gravy, Chickenless Gravy, and Roasted Garlic Gravy over at vegcooking.com

Vegan gravy goes great over seitan, biscuits, tofu, and veggies. There’s no need to wait until the Holidays to make it!

Vegan Olivia Wild Is #1 On Maxim’s Hot 100 List

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, May 18th, 2009 in Actresses.

American Casino premiere at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival

Maxim recently unveiled its Hot 100 List and a vegan lady is numero uno!

Olivia Wilde, star on Fox’s House, tops the charts and beat out other meat eating woman like Megan Fox, Eliza Dushku, and Rhihanna.

Olivia made Maxim’s 100 Hottest women in 2008-but barely hanging on the ladder at #97.

We suspect her sudden rise to the top has something to do with her veganness. Really, we heard plant based foods do wonders for the hair and skin.

Olivia had been “mostly vegetarian” with the exception of a plateful of flipper here and there. Then, earlier this year, she made the announcement on Ellen DeGeneres she’d transitioned into a complete vegan.

Engine 2 Diet’s Rip Esselstyn: Real Men Eat Plants, Boys Eat Meat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, May 18th, 2009 in Authors, Videos.

Nice little video of Rip Esselstyn, author of the Engine 2 Diet discussing how the firefighters of Austin, Texas’ Fire Engine Company #2 eat vegan during work shifts.

Rip encouraged the guys at Engine 2 to go veg after some were having medical problems like high cholesterol. According to the video, a study showed heart disease kills more firefighters than fire itself. 

Esselstyn’s book, which helped Newsweek’s David Noonan go vegan and lose weight, was written after he was inspired to go veg from his father’s research. His father, Dr. Caldwell Essestyn says, “Having the USDA design your food pyramid is like having Al Capone do your taxes.”

Esselstyn’s entire family eats vegan and it looks like the family favorite food is kale (Watch aunt Esselstyn rip the leaves off that plant, yo)

Best quote of the day starts at the beginning of the video when Rip says, “Real men eat plants and boys meat meat.”

Rip thinks in the next five years eating meat will be such a social disgrace, taking your tenderloin away from the picnic gathering will be equal to asking a smoker not to smoke inside.

While he may be a little overly optimistic, with more people choosing to at least flex or reduce some meats in their diet, Rip’s definitely onto some future trend.

Erykah Badu performs at the 40th New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
There’s nothing like going to your hometown for a good vegan meal!

Erykah Badu and her family enjoyed some vegan grub at Spiral Diner in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas.

Badu was born and bred in Dallas and likes to stop by when she’s not touring.

It’s gotta be the food.

Silverstein’s Shane Told Tweeted about his love for Spiral Diner vegan brownies and ice cream.

In a world where LA and New York are the veg food meccas, it’s so cool to know the southern folk can get their vegan eatin’ on at a reputable place.

Heather Mills Debunks Vegan Myths At Brighton Foodie Festival

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Models.

Heather Mills Speaks At Viva! The Incredible Veggie ShowHeather Mills cooked up some tasty vegan recipes at the Brighton Foodie Festival this weekend. Heather recently joined Twitter because she said she wanted to share vegan recipes and “tell it exactly like it is,” and that’s exactly what she did when she spoke about veganism at the festival.

“They just think that it’s boring nut roasts and lots of hippy people who they think haven’t washed for months but they do, but that’s not what being vegan is about,” Heather said, according to the UK Daily Mail.

“It’s about being animal friendly, saving the environment and the planet. The biggest contributor of global warming is the consumption of meat and dairy, but of course they are not going to tell you that.”

Chef Heather (yes, we can officially call her that, now) gave audience members samples of leafy green and soy beefy stir fry, creamy sweetcorn chowder, and creamy nut korma with faux chicken.

The dishes were just a taste of what Heather plans to put on the menu at V-Bites, her new vegan restaurant in the UK.

Heather Mills Using Twitter To Share Vegan Recipes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, May 16th, 2009 in Celebrity Tweets, Chefs, Food & Drink, Models.

23rd Annual Genesis Awards - ArrivalsHeather Mills has just signed up on Twitter!

Tired of others impersonating her on the social networking site, Mills said she plans to use the site to share both her vegan recipes and “feelings on any number of things,” with the intention to “tell it exactly like it is”.

You can follow Heather @heatherofficial, where she’s already put up a couple of Tweets, including one about her Brighton Foodie Festival appearance today.

“I have to prepare all the food for the Brighton Foodie festival, so psyched to be invited to cook alongside some top chefs.”

Yesterday, she also made humor to the fact that the birds were Tweeting outside the first day she started Tweeting.

“Funny on my first day of twittering, the birds in my garden wake me up at 5am, twittering.”

Ginnifer Goodwin Just Not That Into Converting People To Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 15th, 2009 in Actresses.

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin hosts an evening at Prive in Las Vegas

Although Ginnifer Goodwin used to be a cheeseburger lover, she doesn’t crave those anymore. But that doesn’t mean cares if someone else does. From the editor’s blog at W magazine:

“So many people say to me, ‘I tried, and it was too hard,’ or ‘I had to cheat,’ and I always think, ‘Then it’s not right for you,'” Ginnifer said.

“You shouldn’t have to try. For me there’s no “try” involved. There’s nothing I want less than a piece of cheese or a burger. I have nightmares I’m being force-fed these things. I have no interest in converting anyone. It’s purely how I want to live my life. I don’t judge anyone.”

Ginnifer took some flack for posing in leather and silk for the W magazine shoot, which her cousin and Humane Society of the United States coordinator, JP Goodwin, explained to readers in the comments section on a post at supervegan.com.

What do you guys think of judgemental vegans? Should people make more effort to educate and change the diet of others. Or will this only turn people away?
