Candice Bergen’s Half Assed Vegetarianism

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, March 13th, 2009 in Actresses, Not So Vegetarian.

It’s Friday the 13th! Ooooh, are you scared? Are you superstitious?

Candice Bergen wrote up her fears on wowowow.com, where she revealed meat being really the only one.

However, we already know chicken doesn’t scare her, but at least she’s admitting to her “half-assed vegetarian” ways.

“Something I do have oddly strong feelings about, bordering on the superstitious, is eating any kind of four-legged animal. Also some two-legged, like duck. I will never eat duck. And I haven’t eaten pork or beef (especially veal) for 35 years. This started because I suddenly started to find people carving into these bloody haunches of meat so disturbing. And after walking through the former huge market square in Paris, with hundreds of carcasses hanging side by side, it just repulsed me and I decided to keep my own half-assed vegetarianism. I don’t mention it at dinners. I just eat around the meat. I’m not a pain in the ass, but I cannot eat meat now — even some that looks and smells delicious, like barbecued ribs or prosciutto — without feeling like I am betraying animals.”

“So it is almost a superstition. I guess it’s more a personal idiosyncrasy. A principle I won’t break.”

Maybe chickens should learn to go “quack, quack,” and Candy won’t eat them.

Anne Hathaway Enjoys Veggie Sushi With Beau Adam Shulman

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, March 12th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

Comments Off

She said she ate meat while dating her ex now in prison boyfriend Raffaello Follieri because it was “easier for the lifestyle” at that time. Now Anne Hathaway may find it a little easier to keep up her “vaguely” vegan diet.

The actress was spotted having a vegetarian sushi meal with new boyfriend Adam Shulman at M Cafe in Los Angeles.

The two met last year at a screening for Hathaway’s Rachael Getting Married movie.

Hathaway went vegetarian (again) last year shortly after her breakup with Follieri.

Shulman has starred in films such as The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning and appeared on television shows such as “The West Wing.”

Gym Class Heroes Travis McCoy Prefers Bunny Ears To Bunny Fur

GYMCLASSadNEW Travis McCoy, front man for the musical group, Gym Class Heroes, likes his bunnies. And we’re not talking about Playboy bunnies (but he may like those too).

The vegetarian singer is starring in a PETA ad against fur.

“Bunny Ears, Not Bunny Fur,” is a playful way for Travis to encourage people not to wear real fur made from animals such as rabbits, which often comes from countries with few to no animal welfare standards, resulting in horrible treatment for the animals such as being skinned alive.

Not to mention how rude it is to take someone else’s coat!

Travis’s ex-girlfriend, Katy Perry, had said her New Year’s Resolution was to be vegetarian, but it was probably out of reach because she liked chicken too much. Unfortunately, because of the break up, she won’t even have this veg man to encourage her.

Sigh…Ending relationships can have devastating effects.

Kristen Bell Doesn’t Flex Mussels With Friends

The Alzheimer's Association's 17th Annual

We already know that Kristen Bell doesn’t mind sharing company with omnivores. She doesn’t even mind sharing her crockpot with their food.

So it’s no surprise that she was seen out and about with friends at a seafood restaurant in New York, Flex Mussels.

Her friends ate way too much sea kitten, but Kristen helped herself to a helping a Flex fries.

Everyone in the group got to enjoy the same dessert-homemade donuts to go.

Wonder if Kristen thought about speaking up and going to a different restaurant with more vegetarian options? Looks like she got caught in a Patrick Stump steakhouse situation.

Or she could just love those Flex Fries.

Oh yeah! We’re going down under this week.

Missy Higgins is the queen of green, and has spoken out about the importance of being environmentally friendly. She’s even greened her tours!

Sophie Monk stirred quite some controversy last year when she was photographed carrying bags of KFC goodies to her car. She later said she was just buying some food for a homeless man.

So between the two Australian hotties, who would you rather do…

Larry Hagman, Hall Of Fame Honoree, Spent $1 Million Going Solar

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Actors, Environment-Eco-Green.

Larry Hagman, the actor who became famous for playing J.R. on Dallas, is set to be inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame, along with other celebrities like Billy Bob Thorton, Powers Boothe, and Catherine Hardwicke.

We think it’s time we put him in our little green veggies hall of fame.

Hagman is a vegetarian who is really into solar energy. Like, to the tune of a million dollars that he invested to make his homes run on that sunny stuff!

According to Coolerplanet.com, his 25,000 square foot residence gives him an annual energy bill of only $13.

He’s shares his goodies, too.

Since his system provides more than what’s necessary to power his pad, he also supplies solar power to five neighboring homes.

A healthy eater, environmentally conscious, and giving all in one package. Not hard to understand why his wife of 54 years, Maj, has stuck around for this long. You’d be hard pressed to find a man this good, ladies.

Congrats to Larry! Keep up the green work!

Vegetarian Cicely Tyson Treats Body Like A Car

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Actresses.

Cicely Tyson isn’t a woman who takes to lying in bed too well. So she does everything she can to stay healthy, which includes following a strict vegetarian diet.

While talking to the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette, the subject of diet came up for the 75-year old actress who’s played roles in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, Roots, and Tyler Perry’s Madea. She’s set to star in the Hallmark Channel original movie, Relative Stranger this weekend.

Q: I understand you are a strict vegetarian, and you keep yourself fit.

A: That’s mainly because I am not a good patient. (Laughing.) I do not like not feeling well. We have a tendency to give all the love and care to material things. I mean, if you have a Rolls-Royce and you pull up to a gasoline station, you don’t put crud in it. You put the most expensive oil and gas in your car. You want it to be treated well in order for it to serve you well. We should start thinking that about this body of ours.

Awesome metaphor, Cicely!

What have you guys been revving up your cars with lately?
