Vegetarian Star

The world’s most famous Skinny Bitch, isn’t stingy when it comes to causes she cares about.

Rory Freedman, co-author of the famous Skinny Bitch series, has offered to donate $5,000 to peta2 in her mother’s honor, but only if you help her out.

Rory will match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000 for every bit you donate to Peta2.

Let’s say you found a machined washed $10 bill in your winter coat after giving it the final cleaning for the season. Like Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers would say, “Give it away, give it away, give it away now.” Rory will donate her $10 (although maybe not as washed out and wrinkled) to match your money!

Mother’s Day doesn’t last year round and neither does this donation challenge. You have three days to dig those coins from the couch cushions. 

Visit the Facebook cause page to donate now!

We told you a long time ago that Alicia Silverstone likes her balls raw, but another raw food staple she enjoys is Nori.

Although her vegan diet book, The Kind Diet, isn’t set to debut until the fall, Alicia just couldn’t wait to spill the vegan refried beans to Fitsguar.com about some of the recipes in it.

“One of the recipes in my book is leftover nori (a type of seaweed) wraps,” Silverstone said. “Anything in the fridge I want to use up, I shove into nori. It’s delicious.”

“It makes your skin look amazing and your hair really strong.”

Yep, Nori is full of good for you stuff like calcium, iron, and magnesium. You can make yourself some awesome veggie sushi or wrap it up and stuff it with veggies and dressing.

And who doesn’t like eating like a star?

If you have a good idea for using Nori or any other seaweed, you know the drill. You must speak now!

We knew Chloe Jo Berman at Girliegirlarmy.com was moving up the ladder when she appeared on Good Morning America to talk about vegan pets.

Now, vegan Bones’ star Emily Deschanel is throwing some love to Chloe’s website on late night television.

On a recent episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Deschanel gave the shout out:

“My favorite website that I can’t live without is GirlieGirlArmy.com because it has fashion and eco-fashion and a recipe every week. They send out a newsletter so you can find out what’s going on. That’s the one I love.”

Watch the video to hear what else Emily can’t do without.

The recipients of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People gathered together for dinner recently at Time Warner center.

Vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney was present and of course needed some adaptions from the standard fare served.

KFSM.com reported on this in a somewhat sarcastic way.

“The only star who asked for anything was designer Stella McCartney. She’s famously vegan and could not, would not, consume the lovely steak fillet. So a “special” vegetarian plate was done up for Stella. It looked exactly like everybody else’s meal. Except hers was a cleverly disguised Portobello mushroom. She was not shunned or mocked by the carnivores at her table. But, she could feel morally superior. (Then again, what do we really know about the inner-life of a mushroom?)”

Shunned or mocked? Oh, please. Stella McCartney could eat grass at the dinner table and no one would turn a head.

Other notables who attended the event were Barbara Walters, Anne Coulter, and Michelle Obama. 

If you’re interested in learning more about why Stella made Time’s top 100, read her bio elegantly written by Gwyneth Paltrow.

You say potato. I say tomato. We say Who Would You. Fancast says “Would You Rather.”

Fancast.com recently asked a series of situational questions to Better Off Ted co-stars Jonathan Slavin and Malcolm Barrett. Better Off Ted is an ABC comedy about a research company that investigates futuristic type ideas like test tube meat. 

Would you rather eat beef without cows or pork without pigs?
MB: I don’t want to eat any of those things. You [Jonathan] eat beef without cows now! Tofu and seitan!
JS: He says he wouldn’t eat any of those things, but I’m telling you, the first lunch break we had he’d be like ‘I’m hungry.’ He’d put them on a tortilla and go to town.
MB: I’d wrap it up.

Would you rather spend eternity on a deserted island with Portia De Rossi or Jay Harrington?
MB & JS: [together] Portia!
JS: Portia and I are both gay vegans, so we have so much to talk about.
MB: I just think at some point she’s got to get naked.

Of course, if only Portia and Jonathan were stranded on the island together, at least it wouldn’t be hard to decide on what to eat for dinner every evening. Unless, Jonathan demanded berry soup and Portia wanted leaf stew. Television stars can be divas.

Mayim Bialik entertained adolescents in the early 90s on the NBC sitcom, Blossom, with wild looking vintage store outfits, frank discussions about issues like puberty, and a recovering drug addict brother named Joey with an obsessive tendency to use his catch phrase, “Whoa,” one time too many.

Mayim is all grown up now, with a PhD in neuroscience (read about her work on Prader-Willi syndrome) and quite active with her Jewish faith and in the Jewish community. 

She recently interviewed with Jewcy.com, where she admitted it’s hard to classify herself, both faithwise and diet.

“I’m hesitant to label myself or call myself Orthodox because people will be like, “Celebrity Mayim Bialik says she does X, but I saw her doing Y” – I guess, to be safe, I would say I’m Conservative, but in reality, I’d say Conservadox. But my husband and I have definitely increased our observance over the years, and we’re always trying to grow.”

“We kinda do the Big Three [Shabbos, keeping kosher, and family purity], but it’s hard. I mean, it’s hard for everyone to classify themselves, but it’s a whole new level of hard when people are watching you. Like, I pretty much eat a vegan diet, but I eat eggs if they’re in things. What I say is, I eat a mostly vegan diet, and that’s kind of how it is with Judaism. We keep Shabbos, we keep kosher, and I don’t know if people want to hear about the Mikveh, but, um, yeah.”

Kirstie Alley is giving vegetarians a bad name.

The actress recently admitted to People magazine that she’s gained 83 pounds after quitting the Jenny Craig diet in 2007. She also become a vegetarian for seven months and ate all the wrong meatless things.

“I can’t tell you how much weight I gained being a vegetarian! A vegetarian would probably be eating vegetables,” Kirstie said.

“But to me being a vegetarian meant I’m going to eat enchiladas with no meat, and I’m going to eat lots of bread, lots of carbs.”

When are these Hollywood actresses going to learn nutrition?

Maybe Bethenny Frankel could teach Kirstie to put some tofu on that bread and make an open faced sandwich. She should try stuffing her enchiladas with low fat beans just as hard as gals try to stuff themselves into a pair of their pre pregnancy jeans after delivery. And stop having hookups with cheese.

Speaking of hookups, Kirstie mentioned she has a “thing” for actor Jamie Foxx.

“I want a booty call with Jamie Foxx — for real. I’ve always had a bit of thing for him.”

Sorry, Kirstie we don’t have dating expertise. We’ll just help you recognize good carbs.

Access Hollywood has created a slideshow of Celebrity Vegetarians: They Say No To Meat.

Actress and former fashion model Amy Smart made the cut. Smart has worked with the Humane Society, the environmental advocacy group Heal The Bay, and was named one of Organic Style magazine’s “Woman with Organic Style” of 2004.

We’ll warn you by saying not every celeb in the slideshow may be 100% meatless.The same Internet sources that said Clint Eastwood was a vegan (cough, cough rhymes with Tickimedia, say Amy is a former vegetarian. And Access Hollywood still has Anne Hathaway on its list, even though she admitted to post Oscar burgers.

But tried and true stars you could bet your entire paycheck on in a recession like Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman, and Paul McCartney are included as well.
